    I think that's pretty spot on. I don't think there are any games left on the schedule the Bears are more likely than not to lose, but there aren't any games the Bears are more likely than not to win. vs. Bal - 55/45 @ STL - 50/50 @ Min - 55/45 vs. Dal - 50/50 @ Cle - 55/45 @ Phi - 50/50 vs. GB - 45/55 Something like that

    The Saints play the 49ers once, the Panthers twice and the Seahawks on the road, so they are definitely a factor in the WC, despite how unbeatable they can look. It looks like the Bears will need an 11-5 or 10-6 if the two losses are to BAL and CLE. A win this week gives a little bit of a margin of error, but the best hope may be a slide by SF, CAR and/or DET back to 9-7. Right but the Saints are currently 3 games up on the Bears with the H2H tiebreaker, it would be a total collapse for them to fall behind the Bears at this point, and short of an injury to Brees, the Saints are simply too talented for that to happen.

    Hawks now 4th in the league in "points per game" Avs 1.75 (144 projected) Ducks 1.63 (134 projected) Blues 1.6 (131 projected) Hawks 1.56 (128 projected) We all know the Ducks are the team that dominates their regular seasons and does nothing in the playoffs. The Avs will come back down the earth. That really leaves the Hawks and Blues....

    Here's where we stand: Every wild card contender except the Packers and 49ers won yesterday (and the 49ers win was damaging because the Panthers beat them, jumping a game ahead of the Bears (with a 6-2 conference record vs. 3-4 by the Bears). In addition, the Lions have a virtual 2 game lead over the Bears for the division with 7 to play. Overall the Bears playoff odds went from 35% to 17% yesterday. If the Bears had won, they'd be at something like 60% odds. That said, the 49ers cast some legit doubt on whether they are locked into a WC spot like many people had assumed. So you are looking at this: 5. Carolina 6-3 (6-2 conference) 6. San Francisco 6-3 (3-2 conference) 7. Arizona 5-4 (4-4 conference) 8. Chicago 5-4 (3-4 conference) 9. Green Bay 5-4 (3-3 conference, loses H2H tiebreaker over Chicago) 10. Philly 5-5 (4-2 conference) So basically 6 teams fighting for 2 spots, all within 1.5 games of each other. Bears unfortunately do not play any of these teams this year besides GB, and if they beat us in Week 17 with Rodgers back, that gets canceled out too. The Bears conference record needs to be improved...they might need to win out (in conference) to have any shot at winning that tiebreaker...unfortunately, this weeks game doesn't help us from that standpoint.

    what is wrong with Turner Field? That's strange...it was built in 1996. I guess the trend of downtown ballparks is over and we're going back to suburban hell.

    Panthers win in SF further damaging the Bears playoff chances. Still a lot of season to play but the bears probably went down about 25-30% odds

    I know Tolzien had decent results (behind a strong running game), but hell, I'd take that guy from Florida over him. Chris Leak? Jesse Palmer

    I think it's a convenient way to save face and pull cutler for ineffectiveness after letting him continue to hobble around in pain the entire second half. Could be wrong of course.

    The Lions have a 2 game lead now with the tiebreaker, it's pretty much over unless the Bears can finish 6-2. Wildcard in play if SF wins Wildcard very much in play. Even with GB, who the Bears have the tiebreaker over. Even if Carolina loses, and they still have NE, NO twice, and the Jets, who are good sometimes. The Bears can take out Arizona and Philly on their own. Bears play St. Louis not arizona
  10. UMFan83
    Yup, there is a lot to hate about this one....going to be an interesting week
  11. UMFan83
    started out 7-3, 7-1 and 5-3 the last 3 years....probably no playoff games
  12. UMFan83
    welp, Lions up 2 games over the Bears in the division. Gonna have to hope for the wild card
  13. UMFan83
    yeah that one was on Trestman/Kromer's playcalling. I was praying they werent going to try to run it....definitely didnt want a handoff out of shotgun
  14. UMFan83
    time for Gould's first onside kick conversion
  15. UMFan83

  19. UMFan83
    ugh....
  20. UMFan83
    i wonder if the Bears made up the ankle injury in order to not get second guessed about playing cutler all half
  21. UMFan83
    dude Jeffery theres 1:20 left and you have a TO
  22. UMFan83
    I was not expecting the Bears to convert that
  23. UMFan83
    dude Jeffery
  24. UMFan83
    Lions are going to win the shammiest division title ever. All it took were injuries to half the Packers and Bears
  25. UMFan83
