Week 13 - Bears (6-5) at Minnesota (2-8-1) - 12:00 PM, FOX

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Hopefully Paea and Ratliff will be healthy. The run defense needs all the help they can get.

[rawaction]

At this point you kinda rush Ratliff. Who gives a [expletive] at this point.? He's not under contract for next year.

[RynoRules]

We need to offer a contract to The Fridge. Dude will fix this [expletive] right quick.

[minnesotacubsfan]

we're totally fucked

[gscool89]

Adrian Peterson will rush for at least 300 yards

[Soul]

We're gonna get hornswoggled.

[Sammy Sofa]

Losing makes too much sense at this point; this is the kind of game they will annoyingly win so that they end up with a middling draft pick.

[jersey cubs fan]

Looks like Brian Billick will be on this call with freaking Brenneman.

 

Somehow the Bears are 2.5 point favorites and look poised to fall to 2-8 against the spread, with a couple pushes along the way.

[sneakypower]

freaking Brenneman

easily my most hated broadcaster in football; just an unbearable, sanctimonious, know-it-all [expletive]

[UMFan83]

Bears now officially dead last in the NFL in rushing D in terms of yards allowed after yesterday's games.

[Old Style]

Adrian Peterson will rush for at least 300 yards

And then sit out the entire 2nd half.

Friend said rumors on Chicago radio that Cutler may be done for the season with a torn ligament. When is the Trestman press conference?

I posted that in yesterday's game thread.

 

 

This team is cooked. They need a higher draft slot badly, which means they need to tank the rest of this season. At least the Ravens of last year had an average to above average defense and Ray Rice.

Torn ligament is all? Weak.

 

Where's the surprise story that Jay had his arm amputated after a bizarre cooking accident?

 

Still waiting for Forte's leg to fall off.

Trestman just said during his PC today that he totally expects Cutler to play again this year.

Yeah, but Trestman totally expected to score on 4th and goal yesterday too.

That made me laugh. Don't know why.

Trestman just said during his PC today that he totally expects Cutler to play again this year.

 

And that it's nothing more than a high ankle sprain. Not sure I believe him, although it sounds like the media took Cutler's comment about "other things going on with the ankle" and ran with it. The very next day they were reporting "serious ligament damage" with no clear source other than his comments.

 

I still say the Dallas game. Although with this defense it doesn't really matter, does it.

The concept of Cutler playing again is the right move, but the execution will be horrible.

 

Typical Trestman.

@mikecwright: Cutler said he'll be disappointed if he's not ready to go by Chicago's Dec. 9 matchup on MNF against the Cowboys.

 

@mikecwright: Cutler said there's no way he'll miss remainder of the regular season. Said to lean towards the Dec. 9 matchup against Dallas or week after.

[UMFan83]

Yup. He's being really candid right now. He just said if they franchise him he will be there for training camp. He might miss a few OTAs but he wants to play and understands there are a lot of guys on the team that need deals too. Said he's thought about how the injury effects him and it sucks but all he can do is show up and play when he's ready. Didn't seem thrilled about it but also sounded genuine with his answers.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Some Bears reporters I follow on Twitter are making it sound like he was joking about the OTA thing
