Play Action - Thursday Edition - Week 14



The Bears and the Redskins square off tonight.
It's debatable whether the game should have been pushed back, after all, the Redskins did just bury Sean Taylor this past Monday.

If this game ends up being exciting, expect the bitching about the NFL Network not being available on every cable provider. Get DirecTV or Dish Network if you're not happy, people.
Expect Bryant Gumbel to be terrible. Absolutely terrible. Just horrendous. It's like listening to someone with massive brain damage trying to call an NFL game.

Bears @ Redskins

START: Bernard Berrian, Bear Defense, Clinton Portis, Chris Cooley, Redskin Defense
CONSIDER: Rex Grossman, Adrian Peterson, Desmond Clark
BENCH: Muhsin Muhammad, Greg Olsen, Jason Campbell, Santana Moss, Antwaan Randle El

Whoever loses this game is, for all intents and purposes, out of playoff contention. The winner remains on life support. Expect players to be motivated.
The Redskin defense has really taken a nosedive lately. Get Berrian out there and hope that he breaks a deep one. If you're in a PPR league, then Adrian Peterson makes a more attractive option...either way, you could certainly do worse if you're in a pinch.
The Bear Defense hasn't taken a nosedive, they just haven't played very well all season long. Portis has performed poorly of late, but he still gets the ball a ton, so keep him active. Captain Chaos is always a red zone threat. As usual, none of the other Redskin offensive weapons make an attractive option.
