if hasn't been posted before, if NY wins we will pass  them in draft order based om strength of schedule.  If Dallas loses, our 4th from them for Mingo will be higher in the order. 

Giants are 2-9, we're 3-8. Won't we still have to wait til Sunday to know the official standings based on the outcome of our game as well? I dunno if them being 3-9 and us being 3-8 would put us over them for a couple days.

Clearly the best outcome for us is a Giants W. A spot or two difference in the 4th round is inconsequential. Just look at the trade value charts. A spot or two at the top of the 1st means a LOT. A spot or two in the mid-rounds? Virtually nothing.

3-8 would be a higher win percentage than 3-9

Agree. I don't think I have ever heard him say anything positive, at any time, about the Panthers. Best expectation is no mention at all.

I remember a really weird pregame moment with him back in I think 2005 or so...

Coming back from a commercial, before the guys were even on camera, Curt Menefee did a voice over where he talked about an "inside scoop" from Bradshaw. He said Jake Delhomme was not only gonna be benched, but likely cut. It finished with "Jake Delhomme has started his last game for the Carolina Panthers".

And then not another word about it.

The way they handled it - giving it only a passing mention then ignoring it - I think Fox thought it was bullsh-t. It felt like they didn't want to broadcast it but Bradshaw pushed until they did.

And obviously, it was bullsh-t.

Bradshaw has since left the inside scoopage to Jay Glazer...as he should.

uhh ok

#Bears coach Matt Eberflus on the final sequence: The hope was to re-rack the play, snap the ball at 18 seconds, throw in-bounds, call timeout and then kick the field goal. Still likes how they handled it. “We’ve just got to do a better job together.”

To be fair to Eberflus they did get lined up with 18 seconds left which is a lot of time. Caleb then decided to fix his glove and take his sweet ass time. I think more of the blame falls on Caleb in this exact situation 

Caleb is a rookie but he didn’t just start playing football yesterday and he showed zero clock awareness

    • I hope not. 3rd-5th round QB's are historically awful. Most of the time that team is just drafting another QB in the first the following year. Look at the Saints, if they continue to suck this year they are just taking a QB. And if they do they just threw away a 2nd round pick that they just drafted. We did the same poo with Clausen, Greer, Pike, that guy we drafted a few years ago who is so irrelevant I forgot his name...  Just take a 1st round QB if Bryce isn't the answer and be prepared to live with it
    • This reminds me on Madden where you create an alternate uniform and the pre-recorded voice overs talk about how hideous your uniform looks. 🤣
    • There are people on this forum that just want to see a lot of passing yards....number go up. That's all it is, really. They are thirsting for a 350-400 yard game. The idea that Jameis Winston is going to come in and play like a star and lead us to wins is ludacris. He's the 3rd fuging string for a 2-5 team and has played horrible for years now. Sure, passing numbers will go up but you'll also get a lot of dumb plays, pick 6's, and incompletions en route to a frustrating bad offensive performance, just in a different way. I think these people are yearning for another Delhomme situation, and the odds of that happening are very very slim. It's way more likely Howell or Jameis comes in and looks like Jack Plummer or Andy Dalton did in the preseason. There just isn't that much good quarterbacking in this league right now. And if we draft another QB in the first round, there is a good chance they bust. It's not a guaranteed carrot. The reality is, as mediocre as Bryce has been, the risk of bringing someone else in in-season and releasing Bryce becuase you aren't happy with his current performance is staggeringly high. Don't want to re-up his contract and search for a solution in the offseason? Sure, I'm on board. Bryce hasn't been good enough to warrant a second contract. But It is very. very unlikely that bringing someone else in midseason is going to give this team more wins.
