I agree its on Tice and Lovie as well for sending Davis out there, but Davis complained about not playing a bigger role in the offense, and this is what he does with his opportunities.

Yeah, but Watt is the DPOY the year, everyone has already crowned him, and he did nothing. Sure the conditions helped, but if he was that good, he would've had a bigger impact.

lemon, regardless, they held Watt without a Sack or Deflected Pass. He was basically a non-factor. The O-Line didn't play great, but it was a vast improvement over the past few weeks. Overall, I think it comes down to the play calling. Even when we could run the ball, we would stop and throw 3 straight incompletions, then punt. It was frustrating, because I thought we were the better team. Connor, I would love to see Rodriquez in on more passing plays. Even a screen out of the backfield after he chips the D-End.

http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...ocol-jay-cutler I really hope Dobbins gets fined and suspended: Cutler hit

Bears expected to sign McCown: http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2012/11/be...osh_mccown.html This could be precautionary, but also could mean they expect him to miss some time.

I agree, the forecast did not change for the last week, everyone knew it was going to be nasty.

Did you not get enough of Cutler before he got hurt? He looked like crap, even when he had time. Davis was a big reason why we lost tonight. His only catch resulted in a fumble. You can't play much worse.

For the offense, I saw 3 drives that were killers. Both of Cutler's INTs happened on the HOU side of the 50, we should've had points. Everyone knew it was going to be a ball control game, and limiting turnovers should've been key. Instead, Cutler throws 2 horrible picks that kill drives. Then in the 3rd we get to the HOU 5 and we only get a FG. Where the hell was Bush when we had 1st and Goal at the 10? Instead we run Forte twice for 4 yards, making Campbell throw on 3rd down. Please just cut Davis, definitely an addition by subtraction. He either misses a block or holds, he drops or deflects passes in defenders hands, or fumbles after the catch. He is worthless.

True, but if the offense turns if over 4 times, chances are you are going to lose. Also, the offense didn't capitalize on the 2 Jennings INTs.

lol. It almost seems like they abandon what is working. They were running great over the right tackle with Bush and Forte, then they completely abandon that for garbage plays. Kellen Davis just needs to be cut, he is horrible. No way JJ Watt is DPOY, I didn't even notice him all game. He had 2 tackles, no sack, and no passed deflected.

Yep, not going to win when you give it away 4 times.

Yeah refs were horrible in this one, just as bad as the Tice playcalling.

I agree, he sucks. That was a horrible quarter, but we are only down by 3 pts. This is such a winnable game, I will be pissed if we lose.

Who was he throwing to, Davis? That was a horrible turnover after the Marshall catch.

Jennings with a clutch INT!

This sucks, how does Hester not get a half a yard 1v1? Davis and Bush both lose fumbles, we are killing ourselves.

Actually the WR lined up wrong and left the Tackle uncovered. Either way, they made a FG in overtime only to have a delay of game penalty, then they miss the next FG. SF looked like garbage.

Yeah, this will be something to watch all week. STL played them close all game, and that was with Smith.

Wow this game is taking on even more importance with losses by Atlanta and the NY Giants. SF is in overtime with STL, so they may lose as well. That would be huge to gain a game on every other Division leader, and a 1/2 game on the idle Packers.

I believe Houston can be run on, and if Watt is getting concerned about the run, it will take away from his pass rush. So I would like to pound the ball with Forte and Bush, especially with some delayed draws. Also look for Forte on some screens. Other than that, some quick 3 step drops and look long when they give the single high safety look. On Defense, contain Foster. I believe Peanut and Jennings can contain the outside threats. The only other concern would be Daniels, but hopefully he doesn't play or is limited. That would make them much easier to defend. Foster also doesn't have Tate to spell him. Also, they play really good in the 2nd Quarter for some reason. They have outscored their opponent 85-20 in that quarter compared to 152-117 for the other 3 quarters.

I wouldn't include Jones are Cobb. Roddy White is having a better year than Jones, even though Jones is probably the better WR. Cobb has came on lately, but he still is pretty far down on the Yardage list. The other 3 are legit top 5. Marshall is 4th in Receptions behind Wayne (69), Harvin (62), and Welker (60), 2nd in yards behind Wayne (931), and 3rd in TD's behind James Jones (8) and AJ Green (8). Wayne, Harvin, and Jones have all played an extra game than Marshall. So base on averages, he is basically in the top 2-3 in every category. Marshall, Cruz, and Green are the only WR's in the Top 10 for Receptions, Yards, and TD's with Marshall being the best overall.

Weather.com > using 60605, going to game time of 7:20pm - 11:00pm due to prime time, it shows 90% at 9pm, and 100% at 10pm on the hourly forecast. This has actually shifted a few hours to the right as it was 100% at 7pm this morning. It also shows temps in the low 50's and sustained winds in the teens and low 20's. This forecast hasn't changed much in 24 hours. 63 is the daily high and 10% rain is only for the day. That front moves in and it is going to get nasty, then cold on Monday. http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/...extbeginIndex=6 I am hoping Carimi's experience against Watt in Wisconsin will help the entire O-Line against him.

The weather is going to have a huge factor in this game. Game time temperature will be in the high 40's, low 50's with a 90% chance of rain, with winds as high as 30 mph. For injuries, Ben Tate and Shaun Cody will be out for the Texans, while Owen Daniels is a game time decision. Tate has always been a great change of pace back for Foster, Cody was their starting NT, so his loss will definitely help the Bears running game. Daniels is a huge part of their passing game, so his injury will be something to watch. He only has 6 less targets than Andre Johnson, is the 8th best TE and was Schaub's security blanket.

So this is more than a Game of the Year, Game of the Half Century!

Game of the Year! Two 7-1 teams, great defenses, highest scoring differential, NFC vs AFC, in primetime. Gonna be a great game. Bears 27-20, with Houston scoring a garbage time TD to make it look closer.
