It is....but it's not the end-all, be-all game that I'm sure plenty of people will make it out to be. The biggest issue is that a loss would mean the Bears would be 3 games behind Detroit, and at least 2 games behind the Packers with both teams having a game in hand. The Bears are probably out of the division race at 3 games behind both teams, but the way things are shaping up, the NFC North could very well get 3 teams in the playoffs. And looking at the way teams have played so far, I truly believe the Bears will be favored in all but 3 games the rest of the season (depending on what the Raiders are doing by Thanksgiving weekend). And 1 of those where they could be an underdog is home vs. Detroit, a winnable game. But honestly, the Detroit game scares me. They are probably a better team than the Bears are at this point. The crowd is going to be nuts. Just gotta hope the Bears come to play on both sides of the ball. maybe you can sign Noah as a safety and put him one on one in the Red Zone with Calvin Johnson.
