I think this game at MN is probably the biggest game for the Bears in the past 4 years. It's on the road at a division rival, and a chance to win the NFC North. Other then 2006 when they swept the division, and the playoff games on their road to the SB, to me this is clearly the biggest game they have played since then.
Every game is huge now. The Bears had a shot to be up two games with three left. They laid an egg and got embarrassed. I hope they use this game to get back to playing good ball. It has to be embarassing to be getting beat so bad the station stops the feed of the game to the nation at half time.
Let's be honest, everything that could go wrong, went wrong. From coaching to playing. The Bears can still put it together and win the SB, but not if they don't correct some large areas of concern first. GB is still right on the Bears heels and it might come down to week 17. What we have going for us is we play Minn, GB plays NE. Advantage Bears. The following week GB gets NYG, the Bears play the NYJ. I'd call that a push. Then it's team VS team. The Bears can't afford to lose any more games if they want to control their chances at a shot.
the packers will get destroyed by the patriots next week and we cant come off two bad losses in a row. i just hope we dont collapse completely. because if lovie was going to get fired id say, ok whatever we collapse, we collapse cause it will benefit us in the long run. but hes not going anywhere. we need to just win next week and hope the games indoors.
I want it outdoors. The vikings suck playing outside. Of course if its sloppy and icy I would rather it be inside (but the Bears probably learned some things yesterday), but as far as cold without snow .... I'll take outside.Quote:

Alot of hits he takes are his own fault, almost all the time he slides to late, trying to get the extra yard, then jumps up complaining he got hit. The rule is you have to slide well in advance, not just slide after trying to get a first down then acting like you can't get hit, if he doesn't want to get hit then he needs to slide a few yards short of the first down markers. I've seen him slide way too late many times this year, he's not smart running and yesterday he didn't even slide at all. Whats funny is Flynn went head first and got chewed out, because their next QB in would have been Jordy Nelson. lolQuote:

Yeah, the Packers are pretty much done for this year. I don't expect them to win many more games since they have to play the Pats, the Giants, and us to end the season. There's a shot that they might only finish the season 8-8. Who would have thought that a few weeks back?
We win the division with a bears W and Packers L, right?
