🏈 Week 14 Official Game Thread 🏈 CHI@GB, Dec 7th, 325PM CST, FOX, CHI +3

You thought the Bears ran the ball well this week? Woo boy, Ben's gotta be licking his chops thinking about all the ways they can run right at Micah Parsons this week and overpower him. Chance to take a 2 game lead in the division with a win. Hopefully they get Edwards and Sewell back next week. LFG! -
Yeah. If DET loses to DAL, they have the Rams the following week. They'd be 7-7 by then. Hard to see them coming back from that. On the flipside, if DAL does beat DET, the Chargers are the only team standing in the way of DAL winning out barring some crazy upset by WAS, NYG, or MIN, who'll be in tank/vacation mode. Bears would either have to get to 12 wins, or they have to beat SF and maybe DET in the final two weeks, hope SF loses at least one more, so the Bears win the tiebreaker at 11-6 to keep them out.

Much like the last game, our opponents are getting healthier just as the Bears are getting more beaten up. I'm really surprised Devonta Smith is playing after not practicing at all this week with injuries and being sick. As much as the media wants to rag on the Bears for how many backup/journeyman QB's they've faced, the Bears have always been the more injured team just about every week of the season so far. As for the game, the deciding factor is probably going to be whether the Bears can stop Philly on the ground. I worry about Hurts' legs just as much as Barkley's. If they let them gash them up for large chunks all game, this one could get ugly. If they can hold them in check, I don't anticipate Hurts being able to throw the ball all over the field against our secondary with Johnson and Gordon back. Have to keep them out of the redzone, because that's where they are the most dangerous. On offense, the Bears have to get back to running the ball efficiently. That hasn't been the case since the Bengals game, really. This is the same defense that held Jared Goff below 40% completion % a couple weeks ago. With Caleb's accuracy issues, I worry how ugly the passing game could look if they aren't able to run the ball. He has to be able to hit all his open receivers today. Has to.
