Fascinating game of “who to root for” this weekend. obviously we root for Patriots over Lions, though that’s looking like a huge long shot given just how bad the Patriots have looked for a few weeks. Vikings vs Green Bay is interesting. A Green Bay win puts us in undisputed sole possession of 1st place, but also keeps them at pace with us. I may be unconventional and risky here, but I think I’m rooting for Minnesota. Yes, it means they stay tied (and up in HtH) with us, but also I just don’t really believe in them and would rather clear the field and ISO with Minnesota than keep the division race so tight. Also I just horsefeathers hate Green Bay so much.

Honestly a shrewd move by the Vikings. They are Super Bowl contenders if they can even muster average QB play (which they haven't gotten from Kyler or Wentz). We shall see how it plays out for them. A 3rd is not too much to ask to put you over the top for a Super Bowl. I am kinda into how much the division is pushing their chips in. Gonna be an exciting second half of the season.

as a consummate JJ McCarthy hater, I don't think he has the potential to do anything. I think he sucks. I will remain patient until he sucks again. This is the tao of the hater. It always pays off in the end. I hope we can finally dispense with KOC "QB whisperer" nonsense. They've had a bunch of awful idiotic QBs, and they've Bears-ed their way to a few good seasons. Maybe KOC can massage bad QB play into something manageable, but his assessment of QBs is insanely bad. Some of the worst talent at the position I've ever seen. He let the only good one go. Well, good one and a half (Cousins still has something in the tank clearly).
-
Look at it this way: We get to sit back and watch some NFC North games and root for losses and not have to worry about us at all. At worst we end up in a tie in the division when we get back to things.
-
The most wonderful time to have a Bye. We're likely looking at getting Monangai back, and everyone who's been beaten up but played through injury can heal up. Poor Caleb is probably looking at 2 weeks of Ben Johnson maniacally running tape with him, given that last game.
-
Something very satisfying about seeing another team struggle with historically Bears related problems. A Super Bowl level defense and a complete dogshit offense and you can’t find a QB? Damn! Sucks for you buddy! I hope the Vikings can’t figure out a way to entice the Raiders to part with Cousins, because otherwise I think that whole dream is done man.
-
If the Vikings can tough this one out then I’m sure they have a horseshoe stuffed up their ass and will just be one of Those Seasons for them. but we shall see…
-
Yeah, Zavion is making really bad rookie mistakes that he simply cannot make. You can’t penalize your team like that right when you’re about to step on your opponent’s throat. It started a cascading series of mistakes that threw the game into a mudslop. Still, Caleb is responsible for his throws and I think he needed to be brought down to earth a little bit. He needs to be confident and even cocky, but he can’t be thinking he can get away with anything because of his arm. This may end up being good in the long run.
-
I assure you, a loss feels worse in this scenario
-
Regardless, if Caleb is ever gonna have this game, this was the best time to do it. Maybe he was believing his hype a little too much, was thinking he can Jump Man any pass out there, unfortunately: in the NFL, you can’t. And we didn’t have to lose to make the lesson that much more painful. clean it up, figure out what you can do to make sure you aren’t getting destroyed up the middle (is it time to bench Bradbury?) and keep it rolling
-
I’ve never understood this kind of feeling. The only thing that matters is the win-loss column (well, in very rare edge cases your point differential can matter), so I’ve literally never regretted a win (and only rarely find any solace in a noble loss). There’s real value in figuring out how to gut out a win when the football gods are deciding against you. They did that. Other than that they keep stacking dubs and keeping pace in the North. That’s all good in my book.
-
Ok, well, whatever. They won the game. if ever there was a time for Caleb to have a bad game and to learn from it, this was it. keep it moving
-
Hahahaha why is this happening
-
FFS I know it’s so insanely hard to be play D Line but can you just please not grab his head there MBooker
-
Why do the football gods hate us? What have we done to offend them?
-
Um is literally everything that can go wrong going wrong? at this point it feels like it’d be a minor miracle to hold on and win sometimes football is a miserable experience
-
I have one modest request for the offense: get a first down
-
I’m getting horrible flashbacks to Chicago Bears offense of yore please god Ben Johnson save me I don’t want to go back
-
Boy howdy am I happy for Jaylon to get that but man I think Sweat can beat him in a footrace right now
-
I will say: defense has played well for the most part
-
Oh my god stop doing this
-
Well a 3 and out was the exact opposite of what we needed there. i hate to sound like every dumb Bears fan forever but: RUN THE BALL
-
Uh so I guess the refs are against us now too, cool
-
This is a game that you just have to buck up and figure out how to win. Settle down on offense, score a few more times. I don’t think the Bucs can keep up with you, if you are able to keep going on offense. a lot of self inflicted damage. There’s no need to freak out. Go out and win.

FFS yall
