One of those loopy rainbows from Love that has INT written all over it yet somehow caught by Doubs.

(or badly underthrown and draws a PI).

If the wind does what they're saying it's going to, those will be even more of an adventure than usual.

I just want to see the Bears utterly dominate the Packers in a beautiful, snowy Soldier Field - something like that glorious Bears-Saints 2006 NFC Championship game. It would go a looooooong way to putting away decades of Bears humiliation at the hands of the Packers.

If we could get a replay of the Eagles game that would be fine by me.

I hope Gordon plays but even if he does who knows how effective he will be

The Bears defense has been trash enough he sure won't hurt any.

Bigger problem is being down another DB if he reinjures himself during the game.  They're already thin.

You can’t expect a team to be any more healthier than this as we head into the playoffs

Yeah we're about as healthy as can be expected for an NFL team at this point in the season. A complete contrast to the Packers. 

In fact, if Rome is healthy and playing at his talent level... there are no significant injuries on Offense. Which is crazy.

if Gordon is healthy enough to play, the Bears as a whole have no significant injuries (if you buy that CJ isnt a massive loss on D)

Caleb=KB(though I hope he doesn't have a injury riddled career like KB)

Joe Thuney=Jon Lester

Rome Odunze=Kyle Schwarber 

Luther Burden=Javy

Not sure who is Rizzo? Swift maybe?

Gardner-Johnson=Chapman

Santos=LaStella

 

 

 

I think Jaylon Johnson would have to be Rizzo. He's the longest tenured Bear (along w/ Kmet) and was the best player on this team the last time he was healthy. Kmet can be Starlin Castro.

I was going to say "I can't believe you guys don't remember the 2020 playoff game", but it's pretty forgettable. LOL

Bears were the 1st 7th seed. It was the first Nickelodeon game. Trubisky won player of the game or some horsefeathers. LOL. 

One of the storylines was Javon Wims, who was kicked out of the regular season matchup w/ NO for randomly punching CJ Gardner-Johnson in the helmet (always a smart move). Then Wims provides the lowlight for this game by dropping a perfect thrown, perfectly designed flea flicker where Mitch lined up at WR and they ran a reverse to him with Wims running down the middle of the field wide open. 

Also, Jimmy Graham scored a TD on the last play of the game (to make it 21-9), dropped the ball and ran in the lockeroom, all in 1 motion. One of the most unintentionally funny things I've seen on a football field.

How soon you forget that Dayo Odeyingbo was our starting DE at the beginning of this season. (How soon we all forget)

OK, now I remember Biscuit winning some Nickelodeon award but it was called something other than MVP, but a play on that. No idea it was a playoff game, though.

i didnt forget. I also maintain he isnt critical in anyway for the defenses performance. at least in a way that HELPS the D

If Gordon is close to 100% and not on limited snaps. I don’t think that’ll be the case though. Good is Burden and Rome will be playing. They missed them badly in the second matchup. Having Rome will be huge on third downs and receiver YAC.

Temperatures are expected to be hovering around freezing, but those famous Windy City gusts will make it “feel like” 9 degrees, according to one model.

Sustained winds from the West at 19mph will provided constant push back against play with gusts getting up to 39 mph in the first half, blowing from sideline to sideline. Those breezes will calm a bit in the final 30 minutes but remain disruptive, with sustained winds of 16 mph and gusts reaching 37 mph.

Adding to this chilly climate is the potential for snow showers in the first quarter. Snow is expected to pick up around 6 pm ET and continue into the opening frame (55% chance of precipitation) before petering off around 9 pm ET.

DJ is Starlin bc he's being traded to make room for Zobrist (Maxx Crosby) (different kind of room lol)

it was an NVP and he just won another one

I’m 45 and for the first time in my life, the Bears have a quarterback who I think can be better than the other team’s quarterback in the playoffs - and that’s a pretty neat thing to have on our side for a change

Everyone point and laugh at me for committing to go to a horsefeathers bulls game with my buddies tomorrow only for the Bears-Packers game to be scheduled at the same time. I hope there’s condensation on the floor again.

Chances that there are more people on the team bench than in the stands tonight? 

[Geographyhater8888]

So how does this go? Love starts and finishes the game with a win and gets the last laugh, MLF makes a remark in the press conference saying it was nice beating Ben Johnson twice this year. God forbid we ever get the last laugh. Please prove me wrong. This would be such a demoralizing loss.

If only Jerry sold the Bulls to the Ishbias and let Michael run the Sox instead.
