Sweat was worth every penny

do we want Carolina to win?

Still want Carolina to get the #1 pick, but this game is probably their best shot at a win left this year.

[Wilson A2000]

Sweat again! What an awesome trade by Poles.

[mul21]

I have no idea how this defense was so bad early and is so good now, but I'm enjoying it. (Yes, injuries and the trade, but I digress)

[bukie]

Hey look, defensive pressure.

The secondary got healthy and the d line acquired sweat equity.

No, the Bears still play Atlanta and can handle it themselves

Correct, the Bears have to win out to make the playoffs. By virtue of winning out they are guaranteed to finish ahead of the Falcons due to the H2H win next week

Sweat has made such a huge difference on this D

I'm genuinely surprised at how much.  The defense was trending positively, but he's been way better than I expected.

I think technically there's some *very* thin scenarios where they get in at 8-9, but the loss has to be today.

[BigSlick]

Sweat is such a beast. It’s been a steal to get him for a 2nd

[Soul]

Man.  There was so much negative chatter about the Sweat acquisition.  At the moment Poles is looking like the smartest man in the room.

My only concern is that he’s gonna be 27 next year and one wonders how long you can expect him to play at this level, but special D Ends often can have long careers if health abides  

[Soul]

Fuuugly.

[BigSlick]

Ok these designed runs aren’t working and they’re going to get Fields killed, so let’s stop with them now 

[SpongeWorthy]

wow missed that completely uncalled cheap shot on the hail mary (that also wasn't an INT)

[UMFan83]

Based on the graphic they showed we should actually be rooting for the Packers to beat the Bucs. The graphic made it seem like the Packers wins or losses don’t play into our playoff chances (likely due to needing to beat them H2H)

 

[mul21]

This play calling alternates from decent to hot garbage pretty quickly.  Every call that drive was trash.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Sweat is performing at like a 25-sack-per-season pace as a Bears. Yeah I think nobody will complain about the cost if he keeps that up.

My only concern with the trade was not making the trade with an extension worked out given his stated desire to play  in Atlanta. Once the extension was signed I was all on board

2nd muffed punt of the game

[mul21]

Dammit.  He's been solid all year.  Is the lefty punt that much harder to catch?

[UMFan83]

Uhh can anyone else catch a punt? No not velus
