Yeah, I was surprised to see a Bears back moving the pile and not going down on first contact.

Looks like GB beating Minny and us winning is our only option now.

Yep, I hope SF wins tonight. That will make things interesting for next week.

I updated the first post. We are now the best non-playoff team selecting 20th due to Strength of Schedule. We can now to no better than 19 (if we lose and Giants win).

It is going to be an interesting Week 17 nonetheless. Green Bay can essentially pick their opponent if the Bears win. If GB beats MIN, they play the Bears, if they lose to MIN, they play MIN again the next week. Another crazy scenario would be if Seattle loses tonight and to STL next week while both the Bears and Vikings win next week. The Bears AND Vikings could both get in where the Bears would play GB and MIN would get the East Winner. The best scenario for the Bears would be a win against DET, AND 2 losses by SEA and a loss by MIN next week. We would become the 5th seed and play the East winner.

I agree.

Typical Bears fashion, 3 runs at 1st and Goal, then a blocked kick for a TD. Nice job Bears.

Considering what he did against Megatron, I would say he would be in the running. Peanut also has a bunch of tackles, and passes defended. Tillman has 74+ tackles, 3 INT, 3 TD, 10 FFUM, and 13 Passed Defended Watt has 77 tackles, 20.5 sacks, 15 Passes Defended, 4 FFUM Smith has 58 tackles, 19.5 sacks, 3 FFUM, 1 INT The fact that 2 players will have 20 sacks sort of reduces the feat for me. Watt will get it due to the hype.

and surprisingly, the OLine looks solid vs a very good defensive front. The one sack on Cutler was basically a coverage sack that he could've easily thrown away. I would just like to see a few more sustained drives like the one they had before the half.

Where was that all season? No huddle, passes to 3 different WR's, a screen and draw to Forte? Who was that?

He now holds the Bears single season receiving records for Receptions and Yards.

Yeah, that one was stupid, it was clear that his knee was down.

Why the hell doesn't Hester call for a fair catch and move up to catch the freakin ball? wtf, just cut him at halftime.

Emery is watching these games too. He knows how bad we've looked since our 7-1 start and even though we are winning today, we look like crap.

It is amazing how many yards Forte gains on cutbacks and runs to the outside, yet we run off tackle almost every run, lol.

Yes, we would've gained one slot, but with Dallas and Pittsburgh both losing, we are pretty much locked into 19 or 20 at this point unless we make the playoffs.

Man, you know the Cover-2 is done when Lindley is tearing it up.

Well the bad part is losing 2 games will barely change our draft position.

Who do you pick if Warmack and Ogletree are there at 19-20? I know it is somewhat dependent on who we get in FA, but it would hard not to select Ogletree as the heir apparent to Urlacher. I know the OLine is horrible, but in terms of value, MLB seems to be a more important position than OG. Now if a OT fell to us at that slot, it would be an easy pick. I just don't want any DL selected.

I think he is saying that he wants them to select as many OL as possible, regardless of round.

It was a joke.

Yeah, it is either a Giants or Redskins loss and a Vikings loss.

There probably something else they should be strapping on too, but I won't go there.

Bears 27-13.

I believe Allen and Wing are both projected from the 4th to 6th round. If one of them was there in the 5th, I would not see that as a bad pick whatsoever. The pick would help our ST and cap numbers for several years. Another interesting name is Quinn Sharp, who handles K and P duties for OK ST.
