Beat MN and GB and the other 2 games don't even matter. Magic number is 2 if those are our wins.

we'll split...go 2-2 for the last quarter
Yeah, I think 2-2 is about all we can expect from the four games that are left. I can see wins over Minny and the Jets as being our best bet. NE even at home and the Pack at Lameblow will be very tough wins. Especially if that last game is being played for all the NFCN marbles.
Let's be honest. How many of you guys would have predicted an 11-5 finish based on the 4-3 we were at 5 weeks ago? If we do beat Minny and the Jets (and we should) we make that January game against the Pack meaningless as far as the division championship goes. I'd say shoot for that and let that finale be an old fashioned ass kicking contest like the days of yore.
One game at a time. I honestly didn't think the Bears had a chance against the Eagles, maybe we can upset the Pats.
I really think the Bears can finish out 4-0. The Pats are the best team left and I think the Bears can win if the D doesn't miss tackles. But even if they lose that one, I don't think the Bears can afford to lose to the Packers last game of the year if they drop any other game. GB has Detriot, NE, NYG and the Bears left. Although I think every team on their schedule could beat GB (yes, even Detriot), The Bears have to plan like GB will win out. It's better to end the year with a 9 game winning streak heading into the play-offs with at least one home game, then to back into the play offs after stumbling through 4 weeks.
Could have swore I read somewhere that either the pats D, or the Pass D was close to last in the league...
and we've beaten teams will really good D already. I think your right Irish... this is gonna come down to how well our D can play against Tom "product of the system" Brady.
What if Peppers knocked Tom Terrific out of the game on Sunday? And think of it this way: as cold as it will be in Chicago, New England's passing game may be largely neutralized. The ball will be harder than Ron Jeremy's thing, and they truthfully don't run the ball all that well. I think that this game could be low scoring, which, if it is, I'd say the game will be in Chicago's favor.Quote:

They have been playing better then their ranking lately though. The offense has been averaging 40 pts a game over the past several weeks.Quote:

This is a north-outside-in-the-elements team that won't be intimidated by the Chicago weather. Granted, it's going to be cold and windy on Sunday, but Brady is a more accurate qb than Cutler is. This game will be won by a good running game and short passes.
I'm sure Marinelli is taking the weather into account for his game planning. We'll need to attack Brady and shut down those close-in passing lanes. This will be an interesting game to watch. I think the return game could be huge. We'll need good field position to compensate for the lack of an air attack offense that both teams will struggle with. I still think New England has the advantage, but the Bears could pull one out if they play their asses off.
