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

[bukie]

So what's the tiebreaker if we end up tied with the Saints for a bye?

Conference record, which the Bears would automatically win in any tie with the Saints.

[bukie]

Though...winning this game is enough to be concerned about for now.

His argument for picking O'Brien is that he turned an 0-3 team around to win 8 straight games. O'Brien was coaching those first 3 games too right?

Lynn has the unfortunate distinction of coaching the NFL’s forgotten team,

This is very true because my reaction was "Who?"

Yes, and Nagy was the coach for all of the Bear's losses as well. What's your point?

It seems like all talk of the Bears jumping into the 1-2 seed hinged on the Bears beating the Rams and the Rams losing another game, but the Saints loss last night makes the Bears path to a bye a little more believable.

 

Saints - Bucs, Panthers, Steelers, Panthers

 

Rams - Lions, Bears, Eagles, Cardinals, 49ers

 

I can't see the Rams losing one of those other non-Bears games AND the Bears winning out.

 

The Saints dropping another game, maybe even two of those with the Bears going 5-0 or 4-1 doesn't seem so out of reach.

That Eagles game won't be easy. They have to scrap for every win they can get at this point.

and The chase Daniel party is over

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Dear lord that's some bad return blocking

[UMFan83]

Just let me get my doom boner out of the way with this post. I’ll be more rational I promise.

 

Lose this game and the Bears have to go 2-2 against the Rams, Rodgers, at SF and at Minnesota to make the playoffs.

 

I get the sense that Mitch could have started (he was throwing on the field pregame) but the Bears played if safe because of the position they are in. Not based on anything but gut feeling. If that’s true, I don’t think that was a smart move at all.

[scarey]

Was there an unnecessary roughness call at the end of that return?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Plot twist: The Bears are only good because of Mitch Trubisky

[raw]

Nope. Nor was there a hold call on Floyd who was getting turned completely on that 3rd down incompletion.

[Soul]

He better stop forcing it to his first read or it’s not going to work out.

 

And his accuracy is horrible

[scarey]

Was that terrible throw deflected at the line of scrimmage?

[Tim]

He better stop forcing it to his first read or it’s not going to work out.

 

And his accuracy is horrible

Pretty sure that ball to Gabriel was tipped.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Id be totally fine running the ball 50 times this game

[minnesotacubsfan]

FULLER!

[UMFan83]

FULLER!

 

Ok I can finally forgive him for dropping that INT against GB. He’s been really good since then

[UMFan83]

[expletive] Mitch should be in there.

[Soul]

Gonna have to somehow win in spite of Chase today. Although that was a pretty good one-handed snag.

[raw]

That was a helluva a play by Ogletree, but yeah, Chase is ass.

[scarey]

[expletive] Mitch should be in there.

I would prefer it, but I can't even be mad about that throw. That was aTD and Ogeltree made a ridiculous play.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Not getting 3 pts sucked
