Negative.

 

There's less than an inch of snow here in Chicago right now, and it doesn't look like it's going to snow between now and the game on Sat.

So there's been some stuff that's surfaced here and there about some of the offers.  Like various staff and coaches wearing Josh's jock if he slides, or someone coming out to practice in less than the normal clothing

 

That hasn't gotten them more than a couple of slides from time to time.

Maybe his stomach is the answer, I think he said that he basically just ate a ton of food on his bye week.

Doesn’t sound like a good notion to bribe him to stay in football shape (by sliding and avoiding hits) by eating a ton of food and sliding out of football shape

Remember when the bills were so bad all you had to do was show up with a shovel and you got free tickets?


And hope Russ Salvatore bought up the rest of the tickets to avoid a blackout!

Might've missed it but does anyone know if the plane made it out of Buffalo?

A full day off in Chicago tomorrow.  unusual.  Hopefully the team is in a comfortable hotel and can rest up. I wonder if they will do a walk through somewhere (hotel ballroom?!)

Hopefully no spies around. Bears should tank anyway. Lock the #2 draft pick!

Why is it on CBS? Aren't NFC home games usually on FOX?

 

What's the explanation?

 

The NFL now allows the two networks to get a number of games from the other conference each season. ThE NFL makes the final decision, but the networks can state their preferences. This is one of them.

 

EDIT: here is a good explanation from a few years ago from a FOX affiliate in Wisconsin:

 

https://fox11online.com/sports/packers-and-nfl/an-explanation-of-the-guidelines-for-nfl-tv-coverage


"In general, Fox airs NFC games, CBS airs AFC games. For non-prime-time games between teams in different conferences, the network of the visiting team gets the rights (in most cases). That's why CBS has the Oakland at Packers game. However, starting four years ago, it became easier to shift games between Fox & CBS on Sundays, regardless of conference affiliation. This "cross flex" tool may be used to even out the number of games aired on each network, or to get a high-interest game more distribution - even if it's on the 'wrong' network. This year, that tool is being used, such that Fox is airing the Denver at Green Bay game, and CBS is airing the Packers at Chargers game."

The games are on the away team network in most cases. NFC - Fox and AFC - CBS.

The weather is going to suck. The Bears can run, the Bills not so much. Not liking the odds.

 

If the game was in a dome I'd feel better about it.

Did you not watch the end of last weeks game?
