will be at this one with several other bears fans...bear down!

[Smack]

Great, apparently Cutler said something along the lines of 'These [expletive] fans, I swear to God' while being booed off the field. That's what we're going to hear about all week.

 

That's per Dan Bernstein's twitter...

Home for 4 of those 6 and clearly a better team than their opponent in 3 (especially a traveling Seattle team).

In his press conference he just said they deserved to be boo'd.

Winnable game against Seattle IF our coaching staff doesn't install a garbage gameplan.

 

The two problems on this team going forward is Tice as the OC and an extremely suspect o-line.

 

Anyways 31-10 Bears.

Going forward? That was the problem coming into the year. Heck, OC and OL have been the problems for 4 years. The Bears have won plenty of games without being good in either area, I'm sure they will continue to. The question is how far can they get with this formula.

[Soul]

The question is how far can they get with this formula.

 

They can't beat Green Bay with things the way they are.

 

And I doubt they could beat the Giants either.

 

 

With the right playoff matchups, they could reach the NFC Championship. Most likely, GB/NY would be waiting for them, and they'll lose.

All I really want to see is a good offensive effort out of this week. I really do believe in the defense, even with its (few) slip ups. Try to clean stuff up, it'd be nice to really get the offense looking like an NFL non-clunky, start-then-falter-then-don't-start offense.

 

The skill position players are in place. The offensive line, not so much.

 

Crazy thing about the Bears receiving right now: Brandon Marshall has 50 catches, no one else even has 20

If we win next week, we could go 3-5 in the 2nd half of the season and probably still be in the playoffs at 10-6. Not that I want that, but the difficult schedule becomes less must-win if we come into it 7-1. As far as the "gauntlet", I see the Bears going either 3-3 or 4-2 there. I think they will split the Houston/SF games, beat Minny and Seattle at home, and then most likely win one of the last 2.

[UMFan83]

Was just looking at the standings, and noticed that the Bears have played the 2nd easiest schedule in the NFL so far in terms of opponent's winning % (.392). The easiest schedule is Atlanta (.360). I guess that has to do with the fact that they are a combined 13-1.

The Bears miss Jeffrey more then I thought they would. We have no other outside threats and our TE situation is horrible.

 

Like somebody mentioned earlier, their horrible play calling will probably doom them at some point this year.

[KaiserCesar]

With the Bears coming off a short week out in San Francisco and the Vikings coming off a bye, that week 12 game may be a tough one. I don't see this team winning the division without a win next week. I feel better about this one than Carolina, though. Might have something to do with not facing them since that '08 Grossman game. Was the one before it that OT safety to win it back in '04?

Their horrible play-calling will doom them every game this year and the fact that lovie is their head coqch will doom them twice

Come now, they're at least triple doomed.

It was. Right in the heart of the Krenzel era.

i was at that '04 game...we were terrible all day, then terrell finally caught a pass late to set us up for the game-tying FG...the safety in OT to win it was delicious after taking so much [expletive] from titans fans all day.

[pitchcs]

Half of Chicago is coming to this game. I know at least 30 people.

[Old Style]

When is Alshon Jeffrey expected back?

But its in chicago and the Vikings arent any good. Though afnittedly Jared Allen could singlehandedly win the game vs the Bears tackles

[Banedon]

I think the Bears pulling out the Carolina game is great for us vs the Titans. The Titans could've been a bit of a trap game with the "hard part" of the schedule coming after. But they'll clearly want to get things sorted out this week now.
