I enjoyed Forecheck Mountain

Get that kicker on the Bears please

That's a huge missed call. Brutal.

That was admittedly an insane play by Stockton

Curt Cignetti: "Well I mean why should it be too big? Cause our name's Indiana?"

Again

Me tomorrow morning:

Dare to dream

I might call into Finebaum at this rate

Instantly terrified of a backup QB miracle here, especially as the game plan had been smothering Simpson

Obviously now this makes more sense

I hate that third down run call so much

I'm probably not emotionally stable enough to post during this game tbh

Don Fischer calls over Rose Bowl intro video 🥹🥹🥹

Film Noir Dog Detective (voiceover): "January 1st. Another seven years gone."

It was excellent

8 minutes of a random Gilmore Girls and, while I know this is an unoriginal note, god Rory was just the worst and the show wasn't hard enough on her

Holy shit, Indiana broke OSU

I should be able to add the Twilight Zone marathon to my CFB multiview

Love that it's not the Frosted Flakes Sun Bowl, it's the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, like Tony is spending his own money to promote his personal brand

When you're playing Iowa you have to know the punt god is watching

"you can't make a punting error against Iowa and not be punished. Whatever minor Olympian god is in charge of punting, Iowa is their favorite. Yeah you're gonna pay for that," @jayrigdon.bsky.social speaking truth.

I couldn't believe this either. Just an absurd axe to grind narrative that is so far afield from anything you'd expect

AND THEY GO BACK, AFTER THE GAME, TO SAY CALEB SHOULD HAVE MADE THE 10/10 LAYERED THROW TO WIN THE GAME. ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Caleb Time

Scored too soon, SF

If I were a blitzing safety on 3rd down I'd probably just hit the QB if I found myself with a free lane, but then that's just me

It is INSANE that a 38-35 shootout is going on between two top teams and the broadcast is trying to push a "Caleb isn't accurate" narrative in the face of all evidence.

As always, I get if you want to hammer him on missed (though that one was borderline) but he's been lasering balls all night and getting zero credit.

Broadcast is weirdly muted on praising Caleb Williams relative to the Purdy slurpfest. Every huge throw they praise the receiver or the coaching.

The Bears being involved in one of the best offensive shootout games of the season is a wild scene for me, someone who once got really excited about Danny Wuerffel's preseason performance

Brock Purdy is basically doing the Homer Simpson "America! Australia! America! Australia!" bullshit for three hours and they're never hitting him

@cjzero.bsky.social if we can get Tirico going straight from the SF deep dish pizza B-roll to Sewell on the cart that would be great but zero pressure obviously

Well well well

Brock Purdy should play receiver

Pretty sure NBC was running out of first half ad inventory, that was a crazy long real-time stretch without a commercial break, spanning two timeouts

Have wanted a Bears QB to take advantage of free plays my entire life.

Monangai somehow not avoiding that open field tackle:

Montez Sweat, most weeks:

NBC should dump Collinsworth for Olsen ASAP

Luther Burden might actually be the best WR on the team

@bonejob.bsky.social I've always loved Mizzou football

He's the only QB they talk about it with. I don't think it's a stat that comes up at all for any other game on any broadcast.

"That's not Valparaiso's downtown square park!"

Watching Bears-49ers with a SF native means every B-roll of the Wharf and Golden Gate elicits a (valid) "That's nowhere near Santa Clara!"

His whole pregame had the look of a QB about to throw a pick-six on his first pass of the night.

How is this broadcast not getting why they wouldn't take the timeout?!?!?

Giannis is coddled
