This Bear season ticket holder is excited about coming back from his winter hibernation in Florida for the playoffs.

Can hardly wait

Got an extra ticket for a fellow alum?

Eff off Packers.

Again mixed emotions because Northwestern is not a destination job and there’s not many people who can have the success Fitz has had there.

Buuuut, seeing the Packers suck for the next couple of years would be a nice bonus for that outcome.

I’d happily take this Vikes team again next weekend. Must win game for them, and they have been brutal today.

My sources are telling me that McCarthy ain’t going to Cleveland and pat fitzgerald is the front runner to be the next head coach in title town.

Ahemmm!!

Yeah it looks as though you were onto something rocket.

I really don't have an opinion either way. There have been so many good coordinators who have been absolute failures as a head coach, that I have no idea who would or would not be a good coach.

It all depends on who he can bring in to run the offense and defense. If he can convince Murphy and Gute that he has a plan, then he's as good as anyone else I guess.

Bears should do everything possible to lay down in the second half and let Minnesota win.

The last time the Bears had the NFC North wrapped up and had an opportunity to prevent a second NFC North team from making the Playoffs in week 17 that second NFC North team knocked the Bears out of the Playoffs on the way to their Super Bowl.

Disagree. Just play football.

Giving Cousins that contract is a fireable offense.

So were you predicting that if the Vikings beat the Bears they would then win the Super Bowl or were you just being a dick?

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #415 on:** December 30, 2018, 06:52:13 PM »

I have been told Eagles/Bears is the Sunday noon game on Fox.

Or just stating a fact.

Looks like a touchy subject for someone though. Sorry!

Good point. It is a fact. But given your past history putting down all things Chicago (an aside, I hate the Cubs, too) I'm going with both b.(being a dick) and c.(stating a fact).

For example, given my history, if I were to say that TC was an abject failure in the NCAAs at MU outside of D Wade's junior year I would be stating a fact but also being a dick.

GGGG · « **Reply #418 on:** December 30, 2018, 07:24:07 PM »

Or maybe the point is that not putting away opponents when you can, especially when you have already played them twice, can have bad consequences.

That being said, this Vikings team was nowhere near the caliber of the 2010 Packer team.

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #419 on:** December 30, 2018, 07:32:22 PM »

That Viking team today got pummeled at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Even having played them twice, I sincerely doubt the Vikes would have fixed those problems in a week. The Bears handled them at the line their first meeting as well. Quite simply, between that and their QB, I’d have taken round 3 with them next Sunday in a heartbeat.

If they couldn’t come out to play at home today, with the Bears resting some guys, and resting more as the second half went on, then I wouldn’t have expected much from them next weekend.

ChitownSpaceForRent · « **Reply #420 on:** December 30, 2018, 07:44:56 PM »

Eh, Philly may be on their third string QB.

dgies9156 · « **Reply #421 on:** December 30, 2018, 08:04:37 PM »

I give the Bears all the credit in the world.

When the Rams went to halftime leading the 49ers 18 gazillion to nothing, they could have come out in the second half, pulled the starting offense and gotten ready for next week.

Instead, the Bears respected their fans. They played to win. Sure, late in the 4th, the second string defense played (and distinguished themselves, I might add). But it was clear this was not a lay-down. The Bears gave their fans a treat. They won and they played their best.

Thank you, Bears, for respecting those of us who watch you week in and week out.

Saw that too, really odd as I had heard noon from multiple people. Why the NFL is having the Chargers play early makes no sense.

Surprising to see it on NBC as well.
