the truly crazy thing is that if you look at the remaining games, there is only one that is "unwinnable" (at Philly). I can easily see the Bears winning the other 5.
Yeah this schedule isn't too bad coming up here.
They have already ruled out Cutler for this Sunday. His ankle must be really bad.
Unfortunately the Lions have very winnable schedule the remaining weeks as well. Playing Cutler in that game is going to bite Tressman in the ass.

The injury that is keeping Cutler out is the ankle, not the groin. Trestman definitely left him in there too long vs Detroit, but I don't blame him for playing him when the doctors/trainers cleared him to play.

I'm fully aware its the ankle, not the groin. However the ankle injury took place when he was clearly hurting in the Lions game. Once his groin started acting up, he should have been pulled. Trestman left him in too long and he injured his ankle and probably didn't help his groin any either.

Yeah I don't know if it was the groin or the ankle that first was bothering him against the Lions. Either way, the whole things was not handled well at all. They are aiming for December 1st vs. the Vikings, but he didn't sound too confident about that. Luckily the schedule isn't that hard going forward here.
If...IF the Bears make the playoffs, they are going to need a healthy Cutler.
Not knocking McCown. He has done a hell of a job standing in. But those playoff teams are going to put up some big numbers against the Bears D. We need Cutler healthy as he has the means (Bears second in NFL in points before he got hurt) to match those numbers.

Pathetic. The Rams are a bad running team too. Painful to watch this defense against the run and the pass. Bears have to be last in the league in giving up 3rd down conversions. I was out in LA for the PJ shows....so weird to be watching the bears at 10am.
Madam Cleo's crystal ball sees A.P. setting a single game rushing record against the Bears on Sunday.....that was horrid yesterday.
If AP doesn't get at least 250 yards on the Bears, he's clearly got a broken leg or something.
It is going to be UGLY watching AP singlehandedly destroy the Bears.
This is why I'm hoping Cutler comes back sooner than later. Props to McCown for his incredibly play, but Jay has the ability to get the offense 35+ points....which still probably isn't going to be enough. :x :fp:
The shocking part is the Bears are still alive in this division. NFC North is brutal this year.
I knew the NFC North was going to be a close one this year....just didn't expect the team coming out of the North would be so shitty.
Predictions....
Bears 24
Vikings 37
AP - 267 yards rushing, 120 yards receiving, 4 TDs
Conte - 6 missed tackles, 7 blown coverages, 3 TDs given up.
Peppers - Dresses, plays, nobody knows.
McClellen - 0 Tackles, gets close to the QB once when the Vike's OL trips and falls over his own feet.

You forgot Contes 3 pass interference, 2 holding calls (3 of those 5 penalties on 3rd on longs), and a dropped interception. Otherwise, spot on.
I can't believe Trestman didn't leave the offense out there to make it a shorter FG. 47 yards isn't a gimme. Whatever…this team blows anyways. Defense is pathetic.

Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I knew what that video was even before I clicked on it!
The PI call against conte was BS. That ball was uncatchable.
But whatever.

That's definitely in front of the Emerald Isle in Edison Park. I grew up at that bar!

Especially with the Cowboys coming to town after an 11 day rest. You're going down.
Go Romo.
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self
Yeah, I don't see the Bears winning out AND the Lions losing two.
Such a disappointing season. :x
Yep hard to see that. Even if they did somehow make it into the playoffs, this team is going nowhere with that horseshit defense.
