2017 Playoffs: Wildcard Round Open

Before we look forward, let's look back towards the regular season.  Thank you everyone for a successful first season.  There were some growing pains with the sliders, and EA patches not quite helping things.  But we're almost to the offseason, some of the most fun the league offers in free agency, the draft, and building a new roster.

Award winners have been voted on by EA's AI.  You can look at your rosters and click on each individual player if you want your Pro Bowl participants spoiled (Yeaaaah Mitchell Trubisky and Tarik Cohen!).  But I'll the Pro Bowl rosters right before the Super Bowl.

To the users newer to the league, please stay engaged with the schedule. Once the Super Bowl is done, we'll push through the offseason hard. Advances could happen every 12 or 24 hours.  The more active we are, the smoother this process will be. Start thinking ahead to the following weekends and whether you have any plans.  The draft alone will take a couple hours.

The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers have played their 33rd straight game in the rain/snow (slight hyperbole. Maybe).
The Packers defense was pretty special on the day, keeping Chicago out of the end zone. The Bears defense had their own moments too which turned out to be the difference in the game.

Chicago opened the game and stalled at the 1 yard line. The Packers immediately marched down the field, but missed the XP. At the end of the 2nd half, Aaron Rodgers sailed a pass over his receiver right to Quintin Demps. Demps' momentum brought him out of the end zone, and he made the most of it, racing 99 yards for a TD. Randall Cobb has lost too much of a step to make a play.

Another missed XP by the Packers made it 12-13. Chicago had to settle for a FG. On 4th and short, the Packers dropped the conversion sealing the game.

GG as always with Plusch.
