hurry back jay.

[bukie]

lol Hanie. You dumbie.

 

Gotta win next week. Dallas, Atlanta, Detroit and Chicago in a 4 way tie for 2 playoff spots.

Not true. Dallas leads the NFC East.

[Careless]

Remarkable.

[Magnetic Curses]

Haw-haw!

 

i take pleasure knowing your team lost

[minnesotacubsfan]

well, hopefully Hanie got his bad decisions out of his system. That sucked, we could have used a W

[SABR Gamer]

Hanie.....dumbfounding.

[UMFan83]

That was dumb, but doesn't make me that upset. All it did was take away the 0.00001% chance of connecting on a hail mary in the end zone.

 

Wasn't a big fan of the playcalls on that drive however. I mean in some of them he didnt have a choice, like the play to Forte. It's either 4th and 10 with :17 seconds left or 1st and 10 with 4 seconds left. Either way you are unlikely to score a TD

[bukie]

Meh, this game was the most reasonable loss to chalk up no matter what. Doesn't really hurt the team overall, just would've provided a near insurmountable cushion. Now they don't have that and just need to beat KC, Denver and Seattle.

[UMFan83]

Bears 23, Oakland 22. Martz adjusted score.

[Sammy Sofa]

Haw-haw!

Yeah, but they won the previous 6, so it's cool.

[SpongeWorthy]

Oakland's D was all over the screen game

Right...cant get too mad about losing, although it was a bit frustrating how it came about. I guess all losses are though.

 

Bottom line is that we HAVE to win 3 out of the 4 non-Packer games. We could even lost to KC this week, but that would hurt because they are probably the easiest of the 5 teams left, given that its at home. Seattle and Denver have played much better, and Minnesota is in the Dome.

Caleb Hanie's first ever NFL start and we lost on the road to a division leader by 5. Hanie threw 3 picks. It will get better. We will make the playoffs. Edited November 28, 2011 by Smack

5 unless you are talking about another team.

Bears 23, Oakland 22. Martz adjusted score.

 

Yeah because everything else would have unfolded exactly the same had the Bears scored before the half...

[Outshined_One]

That goal line screen at the end of the first half was a mind-numbingly awful call. Hanie shouldn't have thrown it in the first place, but what a terrible call.

Eh, 5, 6, it was a swell run.

[UMFan83]

That was the first thing they brought up on Bears PGL. That was 3 free points, instead it ended up for 3 on the other side. Game WOULD HAVE UNFOLDED DIFFERENTLY, but that's a pretty big momentum swing before the half.

[UMFan83]

Alright, I'm just gonna go ahead and assume the Giants lose in NO tomorrow.

 

Here are the standings after this week:

 

5. Chicago 7-4 (wins H2H tiebreak over ATL, wins common games tiebreaker over DET)

6. Atlanta 7-4 (wins H2H tiebreak over DET)

-----------------------------

7. Detroit 7-4

8. NY Giants 6-5

 

The Giants play GB next week too. If they go to 6-6, we can forget about them for a little bit. If that is the case, we are looking at 2 spots between 3 teams, and the Bears currently hold the tiebreaker over both of them.

 

Bears:

KC - W

@ DEN - L

SEA - W

@ GB - L

@ MIN - W

10-6

 

Lions:

@ NO - L

MIN - W

@ OAK - L

SD - W

@ GB - L

9-7

 

Falcons:

MIN - W

@ HOU - W (3rd string QB)

@ CAR - W

JAX - W

@ NO - L

TB - W

12-4

 

Obviously we have to play the games, but its looking like its gonna come down to Detroit and Chicago.

 

Teams are tied in the division, and tied in record vs. common games. Since there are only 2 non-common games for the Bears and Lions and Detroit lost both of theirs and the Bears won one already (PHI), we won't win that tiebreaker if we finish with the same record. So we either need to beat GB (and MIN) or hope DET loses to MIN (and GB) to be able to win the tiebreaker over them. At this point it looks like its gonna come down to the last week unless the Bears manage to win all 4 of their easier games.

wait, what random team does Mojo root for?

[Sammy Sofa]

The Bears.

[treebird]

mojo thinks it is more fun to watch people he doesn't like be sad than it is to watch his team win

[Sammy Sofa]

No, but when Hanie's awfulness manifested itself so quickly I had a good fallback.
