I find this conversation similar to the preseason conversation that we needed another RB because Swift wasn't a #1 and we had no idea what Monangai would do. For me, I need to just trust what BJ and Poles decides will turn out. Also it appears we have the LT if the future which was a topic of conversation. Injuries has hurt our defense all year and we are still 11-4. I think they figure it out after the season is over.

With GBs loss, it's all about seeding.

Clinched playoff spot on Christmas, Division on Saturday just like clockwork.

Home playoff game and winners of the North…don’t stop now Bears!!!

Packers lose to Huntley led Ravens in GB. Bears are NFC North champs. Wild.

Poles set it up that way to have contracts run out when Caleb gets paid. The problem with bringing in one of those two would be their money won't be leaving where as those 3 will be gone, freeing up money for Caleb. I get the love for those two but don't think the loss of good players and valuable first round picks would be worth it. Just my opinion, it's okay to have your thoughts because neither matter, it's what Poles decides to do .

Bears have a ton of people sick.

I get it, you want to keep all our players. Look at it this way. The Bears have maybe 1 or 2 years before Caleb's contract gets extended. Once Caleb is extended, there are no DJs, Kmets, or Sweats. So they can try with what they got or bring in the assasin.

right on

The Packers are falling apart and players keep getting hurt. Poor Packer fans, boo hoo

When I read that, I thought it meant he wasn't going to play. That makes sense.

He's not out. He's sick and didn't fly with the team which makes sense since you don't want him to get others sick. Put him on a flight to SF with the rest of us plebs and then see how he feels at game time. For most of these players whatever is going around appears to be a 1-2 day sickness.

I saw something on Caleb doing what they call the "Iceman". Coincidence or not, that motion means "bear" in sign language.

Are you sure on Wright? I don't see him listed anywhere.

Darrell Wright is out for this game. So does Ozzy stay at LT and Theo in at RT? I have seen some suggest moving him which I think disrupts the growth he's had so far.

Hendrickson just costs money as a FA, to get the other 2 lots of assets have to leave. I vote for not weaking the team, sign a free agent.

I noticed the social media Bear pages have taken the Garrett and Crosby talk and are running. Think it was mentioned here a day or two before it exploded online. We are the news. If the Bears do not adapt, the rest of the league will. They will be playing a 1st place schedule... most likely, so it will be a tougher road to stay on top. Draft picks are good for 2 years down the road, but not so much for today. Address the d-line like they did the o-line. Garrett/Crosby are your top target, Hendrickson can be plan b.

I’m hearing from my Packer “friends” they were all sure that Tune (their third stringer) would start. Reports say it was a close call and because they didn’t sign another QB (with Love ruled out) they speculate that Willis is the starter but ‘questionably’. Evidently he may have been hurt during that last sack from Sweat at the end of regulation and also dealing with some sort of illness(?). I feel really good about the Ravens’ chances tonight.

Right. That's the way you do it. You want a pipeline of young players, and you replace the older steady vets with young guys, and youll always have extra draft picks that way from trading the vets. Of course it means getting rid of good players too, but the Patriots proved the way to do it. The only thing is you HAVE to be able to develop those younger players into good replacements. If you can do that consistently, then you can have a stocked roster for many years.

McCloud and Rome are out for the game. Burden, Gar-Joh, Edwards and Duhshon Wright plus Blackwell are listed as questionable. I could see a problem with NB if Gar-Joh, McCloud and Blackwell don't play.

If/when the Bears beat SF, Will they have anything left to play for against Seattle?

WTF is nfelo? Is it a web series from Wisconsin?

We are use to always taking about next year because we were losers but this year is different. Our floor is make the playoffs and lose our first game. That will still be a successful season but what if our ceiling is the SB and we actually will have a whole different outlook on future asset and acquisitions. I suspect the conversation will be who can try and bring back . Clearly our DL will still need some upgrades but think it will be with draft picks and not getting rid of players in trades.

Then I hope he gets blasted on the first possession. It’s not enough for the packers to lose. They must suffer.

Concur, especially bolded. Same as the offense; build an awesome line and the rest benefits, but the reverse isn’t necessarily true. No shocker that the OL FINALLY got some love and we’re trending significantly upward. Build the DL and the rest can be Kwiatkoski, Sanborn, etc.
