We may have to hope the Packers are the team that flounders their way out of the playoffs now, because it doesn't look like SF is going to lose many more games this year. Their next tough opponent doesn't come until the final 3 games of the season: IND, CHI, SEA. Bears might have to win more than 10 games to keep them out. Otherwise, you better beat GB twice or miraculously win the division.

He was airmailing open receivers most of the game, and the ones he threw accurately were dropped on critical downs by Burden, DJ Moore, and Symthe. Rome might have had one too. Bears offense continued to stall out just outside of the redzone and settled for FG's in all but one drive. Ben got cute a couple times using Bagent as a decoy for 3rd and medium run plays. One of them worked, but the others got stuffed. Both tackles were horrible. Wright and Benedet gave up too much pressure in pass pro. The Bears couldn't run the ball most of the game, save for a few later in the 4th, but far too often, they were losing the majority of their 1 on 1 battles with Minnesota's front 7. Cairo's kick came at a pivotal period when they were up 16-3 with a chance to push it to 3 scores. It was like a 48 yarder he just flat out missed, which allowed MIN to get right back into the game and recapture all the momentum. The defense forced a punt on MIN's possession, but the Bears offense gave it right back and allowed a big return that set MIN up to score right away. Once it got to 10-16, you knew what was going to happen. The "O" came out on the next possession with another punt, and then the defense imploded late, allowing McCarthy to throw a TD with like 50 seconds left. Duvernay had a huge kickoff return that set the Bears up just outside FG range. They ran the ball three straight times for 9 yards and Santos narrowly made the kick just inside the left upright for the win.

10 4th quarter TDs allowed in 10 games, 6 in the last 4 games, 5 in the first 2.

1. I didn’t watch it. 2. Why did Caleb suck? Bad throws? Bad scheme? Drops? 3. How did Santos miss the one FG? 4. Why did the Bears go for so many FGs? Or where did the offense stall? Outwardly, this looks like a game that the a bears should have won by 2+ TDs.

The MIN first half: Punt, Punt, FG, Punt, INT, INT. 3rd Quarter: Punt, Punt 4th Quarter: Bears up 16-3: TD, Punt, TD To me they are allowing the easy passes over the middle to prevent the 50 yard chunk plays, but in doing so, they are making it easy enough that a middle school QB has 5 TD drives against this defense in the 4th quarter in 2 games. Against MIN and McCarthy in 6 quarters (1st-3rd in both games) have allowed a total of 9 points. Then in 2 4th quarters, have allowed 35. So 1.5 pts per quarter for the first 3 quarters to 17.5 in the 4th. I will have to check the splits but that just seems bonkers, like the CIN game too.

Honestly, if Fields was QB today, the Bears lose 17-9, and their last minute drive for a TD ends on a turnover on downs.

Yeah I agree, I wouldn't wait either, but I don't know how common that is during the season to do that.

another big 4th quarter meltdown by the D. We need a pass rush.

we should extend him, this week would be a good time to do it - especially with Brisker on the chopping block, and the likelihood of a new player, possibly a rookie at the other safety spot next year. And extend CJGJ too while youre at it. He provides great depth at CB, and I wouldnt be at all shocked if he was our other safety next year.

What a weird game. Bears had the ball for 37 mins to MIN's 23. Complete domination for time of possession. They held MIN to 3-11 on 3rd Down, and only allowed 265 total yards, yet they allowed 2-3 in the RZ

can you imagine? so glad that didnt happen.

youre not wrong. we have serious holes in the roster, and key players, like Caleb, still have to continue to develop. I think this year if we get to 10 wins, that will be great. We can definitely build on this, but next year i expect us to be a contender for real.

Affirmative

Depending on the outcome of a few games in progress this weekend, there will be a max of only 5 teams that will have a better record than the Bears at 7-3 heading in Week 12, NE at 9-2, IND 8-2, DEN 8-2, the winner of SEAvLAR at 8-2, and possibly PHI at 8-2. If DET wins, then only 4 teams with PHI dropping to 7-3.

I have a popup blocker on, so I don't see any ads. Is there some crazy stuff going on in the ads?

Still leads the league in INTs with his 5th (should be 6). He has been holding the secondary together with all the injuries, and he is still making huge plays.

You can delete this after reading. What the heck is going on with all of these trashy click baits as we open the site? Some of this crap is offensive to see and I'm a perv.

Still right on track, which is wild how we got here. It feels like the NFL version of Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. "You're going the wrong way!", but somehow we ended up with the projected record going into Week 12, which really becomes ANOTHER must-win to make a clearer path to the playoffs. 12 Pittsburgh Steelers - WIN (8-3) 13 @ Philadelphia Eagles - LOSS (8-4) (if they lose to DET, this game may not be as bad as it once was; they have looked off this year) 14 @ Green Bay Packers - TOSS UP (barely beat the Giants with Winston at QB) 15 Cleveland Browns - WIN 16 Green Bay Packers - TOSS UP 17 @ San Francisco 49ers - TOSS UP (just make McCaffrey a non-factor, make someone else beat you) 18 Detroit Lions - LOSS

7-3, currently in 1st Place, and a chance to maintain it for the week if the Eagles beat the Lions. The Bears already have 2 more wins than last year with 7 games left, 4-3 or 3-4 in the final 7 are the most likely outcomes. However, if PHI beats DET, the only team remaining on their schedule with a better record than them is PHI. Bears 5-12 > 7-3 (+4.5 games) ~ 10-11 win team Packers 11-6 > 6-3-1 (-1.5 games) ~9-10 win team Lions 15-2 > 6-3 (-5 games) ~ 10-11 win team Vikings 14-3 > 4-6 (-6.5 games) ~ 7-8 win team

Super athletic player, just not a starting QB. I am glad the Bears (Poles) made the correct decision to move on from him instead of trading the #1 pick for the "haul" and trying to build around Fields.

I'm getting 2001 vibes about this team, and not in a good way. They're winning, but it's definitely starting to feel a little fluky. Caleb's progress has really plateaued since the Cowboys game as a passer. He hasn't gotten any better being on time and throwing with accuracy. He's been great in the 4th quarter, but he was doing that last year, too. At some point, he has to start putting a complete game together. There's just no excuse for the game to come down to a FG at the end. McCarthy is the worst starting QB in football and nearly pulled another win out of his ass, because the offense couldn't take advantage of the Vikings self-inflicted mistakes, whether it was drops, errant throws, or interceptions. Need a MUCH better performance from Ben Johnson and Caleb next week back at home against a bad Steelers defense.

Looks like the odds will start at Bears -1.5 but they opened at -2.5, and it may change again with injury news. The Steelers are in the bottom half of the league for offense and defense. With the schedule about to get extremely tough, this becomes another game they need to win. Bears 27-20.

hahahaha game ball awarded!

Rodgers hurt his left wrist. He might be a go. I don't want these guys ready until it's 100%. All three have lingering issues on the season and reinjury is a higher probability.
