NFL 2022 Season

After the first game of the season, I told a former colleague in the Bay area that The Bears were expected to be historically bad...yet they beat her 49'ers.

Bears set records in consecutive losses (10) and season losses (14). This is historic, as the Bears are in their 103'rd season. The historically bad prediction was unfortunately very correct.

Obviously it wasn't the Lions year to make it to the big time, but what a season for them, and great to see them finish it out with a good win.

As a Bears fan(?), all I can say is thanks Lovie!!!

Also, Quay Walker has some really serious issues he needs to address.

My results for week 18:

Chiefs at Raiders -- win
Titans at Jaguars -- win
Ravens at Bengals -- win
Jets at Dolphins -- win
Browns at Steelers -- win
Vikings at Bears -- win
Bucs at Falcons -- win
Pats at Bills -- win
Panthers at Saints -- lose
Texans at Colts -- lose
Rams at Seahawks -- win
Cardinals at 49ers -- win
Giants at Eagles -- win
Cowboys at Commanders -- lose
Chargers at Broncos -- win
Lions at Packers -- lose (just so awesome)

This week: 12-4
Cumulative: 119 - 57 (started week 7, with Jaymann at 48-45 on week 6)

My 'Jaymann Adjusted' cumulative would be: 167 - 102 (where in I just add his week 6 numbers to my own), but I like to think I would have done better than 48-45 in the first 6 weeks (although those are harder to predict, so I can't pretend I would have)...
More specifically, I regret being silly about the Bears picks when I started this, where I would pick them for 'loyalty' when I actually expected them to lose. That's where I robbed myself of about 6 wins and instead handed myself 6 losses.

So, my personal congrats to Jaymann

, as I was trying to outperform you - and didn't.

In Quay Walker's NFL carrier - he averages being ejected for shoving opponent coaches or trainers twice a year.

My picks for Wild Card round:

Seahawks at 49ers
Chargers at Jags Idiot Staley got Williams and Bosa injured in a meaningless loss.
Dolphins at Bills
Giants at Vikings Ginats are temping but will go with home team.
Ravens at Bengals
Cowboys at Bucs Brady swan song for Bucs

I agree with all this, other than that my gut says Giants over Vikings.

Yeah. I was just going to say the same thing.

I’ll pick Giants over Vikings.

Nice that he's still doing us favors. The Bears ought to trade it for 2 first round picks, though. While they need receivers, word is the draft is spectacularly shitty in receivers (as is the free agent market). They need to replace the defensive stars they gave away for magic beans.

The internet is calling it his best victory for The Bears (and keep in mind, he took them to the Superbowl).

Today's blow-up is the hint The Bears will draft the midget from Alabama with their #1 pick and kick Justin Fields to the curb. That seems non-sensical to me, but...The Bears! Honestly, their best move would be to trade the #1 pick to someone who could offer a lot more high draft picks, AND trade Fields for the same. They need to create a solid rest of the team before bringing in a ringer QB. Their OL will just get Fields killed (they already did), and the top running QBs in NFL history all have one thing in common -- no championships.

Jeff V, Jon Steven Young would like to have a word with you.

I should say top running season. Young doesn't appear in the top 25.

Also, historically QBs were not as protected as they are today.

Today’s running QB is not your father’s running QB.

Not a Niners fan, but I didn’t know that either. I also forgot that he started out in the USFL.

Jon Steven Young was the winner of the first and only "Superbowl of Snake Wrangling" held in Oslo, Norway in 1981. After wrangling sleek, black snakes chosen because, in the words of the promoter, "they looked cool," the unfortunate Mr. Young succumbed to 47 bites from the deadly Black Mamba, expiring on the medal stand after convolutions the likes that have never been seen before."

Oh it aged just fine.

Wow. What a fucking come back. I cannot believe the Chargers blew that lead.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 11:12 am

Also apparently this is the first time in NFL history that a team won a playoff game despite losing the turnover battle by 5 or more. That alone is crazy.

Unagi · Post by **Unagi** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 11:22 am

Lawrence showed remarkable character to come back from tossing 4 interceptions and putting them in that position. Talk about a great "You fucked up, royally. What are ya gonna do, give up? I mean it's pretty much over - you may as well, right?" lesson. Flaws and all, I'm impressed. The whole team gets credit for that.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 11:52 am

I was going to ask whether anyone had done a wellness check in Los Angeles after that game. But then I remembered that no one in LA cares about the Chargers. Do the Chargers have any fans left after their move to LA?

Superbowl.The most inexpensive ticket packages start at $4,887.50, a premium package starts at $7,225 per person.
I am probably the only one here who didn't realize how much this thing costs. <sigh>

I was a fan in San Diego then moved north before the team did. As predicted, Staley effed up, he needs to go.

Don't forget Bosa. He gets a lot of the credit, too.

Not from LA or SD but a long time Chargers fan. I don't hate them and will root for them but after the move to LA and the Rivers leaving I lost interest (and have honestly lost some interest in football in general). I root for the Vikings and KC now due to wife and family are Vikings fan and I have Mahommes, Kelce, and Hill in a dynasty league (and have family in Missouri). I'm not getting rid of my Seau, Tomlinson, or Rivers jerseys, though.

That was a pretty nice one handed TD grab.

Skinypupy · Post by **Skinypupy** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 4:48 pm

I couldn’t stand Tony Romo as a player, but he is an absolutely stellar color analyst. He and Nantz make a great combo.

Much better than the Al Michaels/Tony Dungee snoozefest last night.

Also…whoops.

Pyperkub · Post by **Pyperkub** » Mon Jan 16, 2023 1:20 pm

Agreed regarding Romo. He really is a good announcer.

As to the tweet?

Holy crap!
