Week 15: Bears (7-6) @ Browns (4-9) Noon, FOX

[BigSlick]

With the Panthers 3 minutes away from winning, I believe the Bears will be officially eliminated from Wild Card consideration, as the Saints/Panthers and 49ers will all be 10-4, meaning if they lost out and the Bears won out they would all tie at 10-6 with the Bears having the worst conference record among them (not to mention a H2H loss to the Saints).

 

In other "insanely improbable/who the hell is actually thinking about this?" news, the Panthers win eliminates the Bears from any chance of getting a bye.

Holy [expletive], just like I said a couple weeks ago the Bears are gonna go 10-6 and miss the playoffs.

 

Two years in a row.

nah, if they win out I'm pretty confident the Lions will lose at least one game.

 

I just don't think the Bears win out

[WrigleyField 22]

I mean I know age is a big deal, but after watching McCown and then Flynn against Dallas I really want Josh to get a ridiculous contract. The porn-hater deserves it.

[Guest]

wow, i just watched 2 successful onside kick attempts

[BigSlick]

tony romo seriously dude

[Guest]

Rodgers will be back and the Packers will win the division. How things change.

Cowboys defense: making backup QBs look like pro bowlers

 

Should the Packers start Flynn when Rodgers is healthy?

[Guest]

Season over.

[UMFan83]

Wow Romo is truly a choke artist

[UMFan83]

So Rodgers vs. Cutler Week 17. Bears playoff odds have gone down about 10%.

 

I think next week is an absolute must win now. Of course I'm probably being dramatic.

Obviously, yes.

[rawaction]

[expletive] the Cowboys. Went from down 26 with Leveon Bell and Torrey Smith left. To down 42 with Romo's 2 INTs taking 4 points away from me. And Lacy getting yards and a TD on the last drive where I also lost 3 because I have Dallas defense.

[Guest]

and that's the end of Jason Garrett

[UMFan83]

Eagles can clinch the NFC East with a win over the Bears and a Cowboys loss in Washington

[Wilson A2000]

Screw Rodgers. You go with the hot handed backup QB week 17 who torches Dallas. Rodgers is probably rusty and still injured. Throwing INTs in practice I hear.

[Guest]

How are there that many [expletive] Packers fans in Dallas? Somebody shut them the [expletive] up

[WrigleyField 22]

So does Philly clinch with a W next week? Philly playing for the division, Chicago playing for their lives (more or less)... this is gonna be juicy Primetime next week.

Both the next two games have been must wins and not because of the Packers.

[WrigleyField 22]

God why is McCarthy such a fat [expletive]

[gscool89]

[expletive] the Cowboys

yeah, but the Packers could have been taken out and convinced to sit Rodgers for the rest of the year, and now he'll come back and beat the Bears.

[JonJayCutler]

Dallas passed on 2nd and 6 essentially needing one more 1st down to end it. They deserved to lose.

I know this...I'm just not sure why UM just said next week was an absolute must win now. Both games are must wins and would have been no matter what happened in this game. We should consider ourselves fortunate if Detroit loses one of BAL, NYG, @MIN, tomorrow night seemingly being our best shot.

[WrigleyField 22]

A little random, but I wasn't reading during the game, but can anyone confirm that Bennett's TD was about the same as his TD last week by with about 10 yards less room?

[gscool89]

Yeah the Bears were going to have to go 3-0 (including this win) if they want to make the playoffs.

[rawaction]

If [expletive] Dallas had any [expletive] ability the Bears would be in the drivers seat. Lost games they had no [expletive] business losing to both Detroit and Green Bay.
