I think the evolution of it was the most entertaining. First it was you suck, then it was you got lucky, then who have you beat. Yet here we are with a 1.5 Game lead in the division, and currently the only team with double-digit wins when the Bears were the only team who had fewer than 11 wins last year.

SEA plays in CAR this week, then in SF next week. Two tough games with coast-to-coast travel. SEA is favored by 7 over CAR, but are currently 4.5 underdogs against SF in Week 18. The Bears are only 3 pt underdogs.

Right. Some ask why we would ever trade away good players, and of course the reason is to get other good players at positions of need.

Thank you Adam

Thanks. So we will need opponents of SEA this week or next to give us a little help. Odds are not great for the Bears to get the #1 seed, but then again, the odds before the season began for the Bears to have achieved what we have so far were probably far greater.

they are just used to us being terrible doormats. And who could blame them? Kinda how we think about the Browns. Winning changes everything.

Bears win last 2, SEA loses 1 of 2, that's it.

I know it's been said before, but help me out so I don't have to sort through all the posts to find it. What has to happen for the Bears to take the #1 seed? If we go 13-4, do we clinch it, or would we still need help? For the Bears to have a 1st round bye week to heal and prepare would be awesome.

The one flaw to QBR is that it takes Comp% into account too much. Nix had 182 yards passing, 1 TD, 1 INT, with a 4.8 Y/A, basically a bad game, and he had one of his highest QBR Ratings of the season with a 77.3. Week 17 1. Nix - 77.3 QBR - 182 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT, 1 Sack, 42 Rush Yds, Rush TD. 224 Total Yards. Won. Season QBR: 58.5, 3,790 yards, 25-11 TD-INT, 18 Sacks, 5 Rush TD. (16g) 2. Maye - XXX QBR - XXX. Season QBR: 73.4, 3,947 yards, 25-8 TD-INT, 46 Sacks, 4 Rush TD. (14g) 3. Williams - XXX QBR - XXX Season QBR: 57.0, 3,400 yards, 23-6 TD-INT, 23 Sacks, 3 Rush TD, 1 Rec TD. (15g)

SEA has to lose to CAR and SF has to win their last two for the #1 seed.

and the amount of shit talking from DET, GB, and MIN fans has been over the top this year, and all of them are eating crow.

and for trades, you can't do a post-June 1st trade BEFORE June 1st, that designation only applies to cuts (each team gets 2).

You can release two players prior to June 1st, but the cap relief does not take effect until June 1st. This seems to be more for the player than the team. Essentially, you are releasing a player so they can sign before the draft, and it might have been something added to the CBA, because before this teams had to hold onto players until June 1st knowing they would be releasing them anyway. Then there was very little cap space left for these players and they had to take league min deals is my assumption.

The difference between the 3rd and 4th place schedule is pretty big; currently it is playing LAR/SF, WAS, and ATL or ARZ, NYG, and NO. I know it changes from year to year, but in the NFC West, playing ARZ over LAR/SF is a pretty big difference.

Myles Garrett, Max Crosby, Micah Parson are 3 players that alone force opponents to plan against since they can change games. I would part with DJ and our next 2 firsts in a heart beat to have any of those 3. Luther Burden can step into that roll, Jahyde Walker can jump a spot and so on. They can make a few cuts like Edmunds to make cap room. It hurts losing a player like DJ but the fan base would forget fast knowing Garrett/Crosby are wearing the blue now orange.

Love y'all!

If SF wins out, they get the #1 seed and never have to leave home. The SB is in SF .

I seen a video about adjusted comp rate and Caleb is at 70% . They take in account throw always and drops. We're good to go and it's only getting better. Someone may have already mentioned this, I didn't read every post on this thread.

At 8-8 , they are going to want to have a losing season this year. Next week will not be easy.

100% this is why you could see progress even when the stats didnt necessarily show it. This past week it looked like everything is slowing down for him.

Crazy year, dude.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Lions just lost to the Vikings and are now in last place in the division and are fully eliminated from playoff contention.

Controlling the clock and containing CMC will be two of the big keys. Offense will need to step up in the first half. The 49ers are not a team you want to be in a hole against early. This game should be a good litmus test for where the Bears are at. It’s a step up in caliber of competition. They have already exceeded my expectations.

Every game his feet are more aligned to his throws. Same thing with the drop back timing with his feet.
