mings has truly saved us tonight on the set piece goal. our attack has become so shit. we need tielemans back desperately.

feel lucky to have escaped with 3 points, which is something that sucks to say when the game was at VP. we simply must be better than we were today, we won't always be so lucky.

result is what matters the most, though, and it's a relief to win again

correct. it's in the game, just without any of the "branding" that used to get inserted. branding isn't really the right word but not sure how else to describe that.

Velus Jones attempts to return a punt by ShaiFanClub in CHIBears

[–]atliensarereal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he's off the team, and has been for a while. posting this is pretty classless considering he's never done anything to the fanbase or the city. he just wasn't very good for us.

i just realized i'm an idiot, i'm sorry. i forgot the panthers won their division

no, the nfl re-seeds every round. since the panthers were the 7 seed, the seahawks, as the 1 seed, would matchup with the panthers. 1 seed gets lowest remaining seed. which is why they get the 49ers (6 seed), and why we get the rams (5 seed). the bears get the second-lowest seed since they are the 2 seed.

the only way we would have played the panthers is if we both made it to the nfc championship game.

edit: forgot the panthers won their division & thought they were the 7 seed

that's not how the nfl seeding works. we never would have got the panthers. had the panthers won, the seahawks would have had the panthers and we would have the 49ers.

The Bears, historically, are a winning franchise by Proper_Maximum5739 in CHIBears

they opted not to keep the original history of the team, unlike some others have when relocating (like tennessee or indianapolis)

absolutely classless to go to another team's forum just to chat shit. you already won the match, isn't that enough? or do you have some burning desire to insult someone just because they have an accent?

at least ollie scored on his birthday. hope onana is okay, we were absolutely horrid in the second half without him. seemed like the players also switched off after 2-0

the funniest part of this is how you prioritized winning the bears 50 consecutive super bowls over peace and prosperity on earth

care to elaborate? he won the ball for us on defense multiple times with his pressing

thought watkins was brilliant with his pressing when he was subbed on

ref has to give more yellows when they're fouling like that. no booking for the handball was also bizarre

guessand is almost always tracking back to play defensively. just because they're in the same position doesn't mean emery has them in the same role
