Chicagoland with a stop in Iowa City. Go Hawks 🐤

@nbcchicago What is going on with your scrolling “bottom line” in the morning? It’s been this way for weeks now. No punctuation, random capitalizations and a strange smattering of “Today Show” logos. Sloppy and embarrassing. Does nobody have any pride for the network appearance?

@Bet_Labs @LasVegasFaders If the D can’t get a stop, you’re going to lose even if you convert the 4th down… take the points.

@allwiscoalltime @sheanorling Hey dude, hand up, you were right, I was wrong. Bears beat your sorry franchise even on short rest. Enjoy the off season.

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@allwiscoalltime @sheanorling Correct, the NFL does schedule week 18 games so that if/then results are playing at the same time. For example, the Bears and Eagles played at the same time as their results mattered. Had the Eagles lost in the noon slate, the Bears starters would not have played at 3:25.

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@allwiscoalltime @sheanorling Or won *less* games, I guess. Hm.

But yes, I would like the NFL to make every effort to make the playoffs as fair and equitable as possible.

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@allwiscoalltime @sheanorling “That’s just how it works” is not a good enough argument for me. Please explain to me the process.

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@allwiscoalltime @sheanorling The Steelers or Ravens weren’t “forced” to play their starters either… The point is, one team had something to play for, the other didn’t. In an imperfect system, it somehow favored the (vastly) lower seeded team, and the NFL was ok exacerbating it with the broadcast schedule

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@melissaparaf @sheanorling The choices were not the same. One team had nothing to gain, the other controlled their outcome. It’s not a perfect system, but why not stick 49ers/Eagles in that short spot? Eagles rested starters, 49ers on a long week. Common sense is that it’s a better product for all involved

@WaddleandSilvy If Caleb makes a good ball, we are sitting here going “Our coach not only has the balls to make the call, but also took enough clock off to prevent GB from going back down for 3”. That down was the best look the Bears were going to get for favorable coverage and it worked.

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@WaddleandSilvy Why save the 10 seconds over the TO? 12 seconds, 22 seconds w/ no timeout, who cares, you have 1 play.

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@GottliebShow I would’ve hammered Roberts on that last possession too. Especially with Tugler on the bench, and not around for a back tip.

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@ClayTravis Will be fun for sure, but not a great argument. ACC game mattered; SEC game didn’t. In fact, Texas probably did itself a service by losing. Oregon could’ve done the same. That’s pretty damning imo

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@DavidHaugh Were they in FG range if he took the sack?

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@TJenkinsElite @dan_bernstein Don’t blame the OC - blame the kicker! Have to run that play to make sure you can get points….

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@ScottDochterman Assuming OSU/Iowa is the most coveted BIG game on 10/5… any insight into the likely network and kick time?

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@CubsSkipper Still enjoying your 83 wins? Last year didn’t seem to fuel a whole heck of a lot, huh? Meanwhile, wouldn’t hurt to have another prospect in the system to flip.

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

Tried to invest my afternoon commutes in @MitchRosen670 - but the Chicago sports fan will never be good enough for @DannyParkins First it was crying about Cowherd and now chasing natl TV on a big local sports day. Good luck DP; maybe you’ll even buy on a real golf course one day.

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@TomFornelli Would be curious to know at what point on the game clock does his philosophy tell him to kick? Under 4 minutes? Under the 2? 30 seconds?

[Jeff Kingsley @jgeraldking]

@CPride99 @dan_bernstein He did go the Super Bowl in his 3rd season.
