Week 11: Bears at Vikings, noon on FOX

[Sosa21MVP]

If the Bears can't be good without actively making me think WTF just happened or how the heck they just won, I think I would be lost tbh.

Even if it didn't break have to think he needs at least a week and the Bears are getting Mason Rudolph next weekend.

Call me crazy but I really hope he tries to play through it next week and the Bears end his career.

First place Bears!!

Bears alone in 1st. Unbelievable 

[Brian707]

Reminds me a bit of the 2001 Bears. But with the offense bailing them out most wins at the end. 

[minnesotacubsfan]

We’re set up completely different than the 2001 bears tho, and not just o/d. Now, we have a protégé coach, and a possible HoF on his side of the ball. In 2001 we just had the latter (urlacher) on D

 

i think we’re in better shape now

[bukie]

If the playoffs started today, the Bears would be the 3 seed, and the Lions would miss the playoffs.

You all think you were stressed yesterday, my internet feed was haywire and the screen kept freezing up at the most inopportune times, including Santos' final field goal to win the game.

Great win. While they are struggling against teams with losing records, I do think this team has the ability to stay in games with tough opponents. I'm liking their chances against Pittsburgh next week. But can we please make one deep connection this season? So many overthrows on wide open and touchdown likely routes.

[Brian707]

He did hit Burden vs Dallas but yes he needs to hit these deep balls. And the WR group needs to stop dropping passes

Special teams and defense decided this game, and somehow the bears won those areas? 

I said before the game McCarthy was their path to a win. He’s bad when he can grip the ball and unplayable with an injury to his throwing hand. He’s Caleb with only the negative traits.

After starting out 0-2, I did not see the Bears in first place by week 11

Cray cray they’ve only lost once since Sept 14th.

THE NORTH HAS BEEN TAKEN

[Banedon]

I'm not sure who's more excited about the Bears, Kyle Long or Adam Schien.

[Wilson A2000]

What would the Vikings record be if they had kept Sam Darnold?

[Geographyhater8888]

Their wins feel more like they avoided losses than actual wins. Credit to the coaching staff for everything including taking the easy points unlike Dan Campbell in these narrow wins.

I mean, I know it was just one game, and it was against the Rams, but Darnold threw 4 picks yesterday.

It's fun to acknowledge the serendipity of these wins, but it's good to be on the other side for a bit.  They should beat the Steelers and the Browns. The other games are a toss-up at best. 

I'm going to enjoy the moment.
