Bears game 13: Sunday, Dec 12 vs NE on CBS

[bukie]

Well, as miserable as that debacle was yesterday, the Bears are still in good shape for the playoffs, thanks to Detroit.

 

Win next week, and it's all but wrapped up.

 

In theory. But a loss next week really makes it tough. Green Bay may lose next week, but they are likely to win their last 2 games. The Bears should be the fully exposed Jets at home the day after Christmas, but they will probably lose at Green Bay. So if they lose to Minnesota as they usually do, Green Bay is still in position to take the division and Chicago will likely miss the playoffs with the Giants and Saints most likely to take wild card spots. I think it comes down to this game, regardless Green Bay's result in New England.

 

I don't know how you can assume anything about what games Green Bay will win at this point.

 

1) They couldn't move the ball at all vs the Lions when Rodgers was in there.

2) You don't know what Rodgers status is at this point. Two concussions in the same season can't be good.

 

I heard so much last week about how Green Bay would beat Atlanta on a neutral field, but then they lose to Detroit? Seems to me they're just as inconsistent as every team not named the Patriots.

I didn't realize I needed to add the caveat "if Rodgers is playing".

I don't think it's that hard to assume Green Bay will beat the Giants and Chicago at home. They probably shouldn't even bother having him play at New England and just hope he can come back strong for those last two. They moved the ball okay and lost a big fumble by a receiver and another receiver turned a huge pass into an INT. And Rodgers didn't finish the half in that game. They almost certainly win if he stays healthy.
