Week 13: Bears at Giants, Sunday at noon on Fox

[Brian]

Has a kicker missed a kick against the Bears this year? If it has it probably wasn’t at a point that a game was competitive

 

I feel like the Dolphins also missed one in that game, but I might be wrong

[Brian]

this freaking game man

[minnesotacubsfan]

why is gameday showing me Cohen as QB throwing to Cohen?

[minnesotacubsfan]

Daniels has fumbled 3 times now

[UMFan83]

Daniels has fumbled 3 times now

 

On this drive. He fumbled at least one other snap today

[Brian]

gut sufficiently kicked

[SpongeWorthy]

can’t drop that many snaps dude

[scarey]

Motion to change Chase Daniels first name to Popsiclehands? Edited December 2, 2018 by scarey

[UMFan83]

certainly understand the play call. Just wish we had a QB that could make that throw. Or hang onto the ball and not fumble it 3 times on a do or die drive

[UMFan83]

Conference loss too. Not great for tiebreakers for WC.

 

That said, I believe the bears will have a 2 game cushion for a WC spot unless the Seahawks and Redskins both win

If the Vikings lose, not big deal. The Bears weren't going to get a first round bye anyway. Edited December 2, 2018 by Wilson A2000

Seriously how many horsefeathering holds on Barkley' big run in OT? I saw at least three, not to mention Gabriel was being held on the last pass. Still pin this on the Bears, should have won this game, no question. Edited December 2, 2018 by gflore34

I think I'm ultimately more pumped about how awesome the last two minutes of regulation were than I am up upset about the loss. That was incredible.

 

*I maintain the ability to change my mind about this if the Vikings manage to win in Foxborough

Bears need to at least split the homestand coming up. My fear is that McCarthy will be fired tomorrow and a new coach will breathe some life into the Packers

Don't care, I'm thinking the Bears had this circled on the calendar after week 1, no loss of focus, bs effort in this game.

Daniels has fumbled 3 times now

 

Which cost the Bears the game, that is primary reason they lost.

There are several reasons. Also his pick 6, his other INT thrown in FG range, defense looking really beatable after halftime etc

[BigSlick]

It really sucks to lose two games to complete garbage opponents in heartbreaking fashion but if you gotta start your back up QB twice you’re usually happy going 1-1.

 

Gotta hope Trubisky is healthy, even so youre in for a tough game.

[UMFan83]

Bears have only put together 1 strong road performance this year, and that was against Buffalo. The rest were losses to GB, Miami and New York and that iffy win over Arizona and the Detroit game wasn’t easy but there were a lot of extenuating circumstances there so won’t dock them for that

 

The SF game should be a gimme but always trouble going to West coast and playing. Let’s hope the Bears are still in a super strong position by that point

[Derwood]

Under John Fox, this team would have would have curled up and died when they went down by 10.

 

For them to come back, with a backup QB, on the road, is freaking incredible

[UMFan83]

Ok positivity coming back.

 

 

If Washington loses to Philly tomorrow there will be 3 teams tied for first team out in the NFC (WAS, PHI, CAR) So 3 teams that the Bears are 2 games clear of. No H2H tiebreakers to worry about for them so I think conference record is next

 

Chi 6-2

Was 6-4

Phi 3-5

Car 4-5

 

Washington is the only one that the Bears really have to worry about there and they are by far the worst of those 3 teams. I’m pretty sure at this point 9-7 would get the Bears in the playoffs. That said I could see the Bears bouncing back finishing 11-5 or something too. But good to know that only 1 of our last 4 games will probsbly get us in

[Brian]

Win 1 of the next 3 and worst case scenario Week 17 is for the division, win 2 and Vikings have to win out to win the division (pardon me while I have September PTSD flashbacks)

Yeah, when looking at it this way things still look really good. And the Vikings are gonna have a real tough time winning out. Seattle has the biggest HFA in football, the Dolphins are more mediocre than bad with Tannehill back, and @Lions is often a trap game (they've already beaten the Patriots, Panthers, and Packers there this year).

[Old Style]

Daniel was trash but the Bears still should’ve won this game. So many blown opportunities. Thank god the Vikings lost too. And lol @ the Packers.

This team does not lose a lot but when they do it’s alway painfully close with a few plays going differently he result could be different. Losses by 1,3,7 and 3 points. Crazy
