4-12 Defense? Try 2-14. This was the worst run defense in over 50 years in the entire NFL, just think how bad some defenses have been, but none were worse against the run than us this year. The only reason we weren't last in passing defense was because it was so easy to run on us, why pass? We allowed 478 pts, 2 less than Minnesota for dead last. Seattle, for perspective, allowed half as many points as us. We also finished dead last in sacks, and the Buffalo freakin Bills had twice as many sacks as us. It was easily the worst Bears defensive unit, ever. We never held a team under 20, once!!! 7 opponents scored over 30, with 4 of them over 40. Historically brutal defense that needs to be completely blown up.

Looks like we are a lock for 14 since Dallas will finish with a better SoS than us if they lose against Philly.

Yeah, almost the worst possible story book ending to one of the most frustrating seasons in recent memory. Lose at home, in Week 17, to the Packers, in Rodgers first game back (and Cobb's), allowing them to win the Division, and get a first round home playoff game. and I still remember that FG attempt on 2nd and 9.....

At this point, I'm still on the fence about Cutler, but mainly due to the price vs performance/durability. Can we afford what he is going to ask for with all the needs on the defense? I have to believe he comes back because he didn't play bad, but it has to come at a price that makes sense.

Did you see the INT he threw, brutal throw to end the game.

If at any point you would play prevent and give them the underneath and protect against the deep ball, why not there? They would still need to get into FG range even after a 1st Down. What a demoralizing way to end the season and allow GB of all teams to win again in our house. Embarrassing. Only consolation is the 14th pick.

No, but did you see what he did on that 4th quarter drive when we could've put the game away? We punted. The defense was a liability, but the entire offense did nothing to capitalize on the turnovers or field position. We had too many 3 and outs, and our defense was on the field forever, both a fault of their own, and by the lack of offense. The first series we start on the Packers 42 and punted!! The 2nd Rodgers INT, we respond with a 3 and out.

Yeah, depends on final SOS, and we had the worst going into this week of all the 8-8 teams. However, it fluctuates based on the current records so we could slip to 16, but it looks like 14 right now.

Looks like we are locked in at #14. (UPDATED 29DEC) 1 Houston Texans 2-14 2 St. Louis Rams (WAS) 3-13 3 Jacksonville Jaguars 4-12 4 Oakland Raiders 4-12 5 Cleveland Browns 4-12 6 Atlanta Falcons 4-12 7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4-12 8 Minnesota Vikings 5-10-1 9 Buffalo Bills 6-10 10 Detroit Lions 7-9 11 Tennessee Titans 7-9 12 New York Giants 7-9 13 St. Louis Rams 7-9 14 Chicago Bears 8-8 15 Pittsburgh Steelers 8-8 16 New York Jets 8-8 17 Baltimore Ravens 8-8 18 Miami Dolphins 8-8 19 Dallas Cowboys 8-7

We really needed a score on that last drive, even a FG. That would've made it a 3 pt game. We should not have put that game in the defense's hands.

No score on last drive did us in, no way you can't score.

Seriously

We need a stop!

Some play action would've been nice there, they had 9 in the box.

We need to respond again and burn some clock.

Pro Bowl? Who needs the stinking Pro Bowl.

As long as we answer, then no biggie.

We score and Cutler does not throw a single pass. Interesting.

Hester had some speed there.

Besides the ridiculous TD, the defense has played great, yet the offense looks like shit.

There was a whistle.

Seriously?

Sick of this already, offense has zero rhythm again, go figure. Defense can't hold them forever, this is on the offense and Jay now.

Cutler...... and 3 and out....
