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.

Exactly my point. The defense then has to honor those plays and the pass rush is reduced. For Marshall, I don't think there is anything wrong with his amount of targets. He leads the league in receptions, but is 3rd in targets behind Megatron and Wayne. The injuries to Bennett and Jeffery have also played a factor in his numbers as well. Every QB needs his outlet, most teams don't have Kellen Davis as their TE, so they have a reliable outlet. For the Bears, Marshall is the biggest threat and the most reliable target. To me, the other WR's need to step up. I have to believe that Jeffery will have 2 decent games to finish the season. Besides for the OPI, he didn't look that bad.

I am sort of surprised at #1. If they make the playoffs, it is hard to not consider the season a success. If we do end up 10-6, there is a very high probability that we will play at GB. To me, that is the deciding moment. If we can somehow beat GB in GB after this type of season, you have to give someone credit for that. To me, that is a double win, a playoff win and a GB playoff loss. However, any other outcome should result in the firing of Lovie Smith.

I agree, there is very little value in round 6 and 7 for positional players. However, if you can get a top 1 or 2 prospect kicker or punter, and sign for a rookie deal in that slot. There is significant value there.

If we lose tomorrow, Lovie needs to be fired at the post game podium.
