Playoffs, are we talking about the Playoffs? Yes, yes we are

After 12/12 early and afternoon games, the Bengals had a chance to really help the Bears but ultimately crapped the bed in OT against SF. 

WC2 SF 7-6 ATL-W, TEN-L, HOU-W, LAR-L 9-8 (6-6)
WC3 WAS 6-7 PHI-L, DAL-L, PHI-W, NYG-W 8-9 (7-5)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 MIN 6-7 CHI-L, LAR-L, GB-L, CHI-L 6-11 (4-8)
2 PHI 6-7 WAS-W, NYG-W, WAS-L, DAL-L 8-9 (6-6)
3 ATL 6-7 SF-L, DET-W, BUF-L, NO-W 8-9 (5-7)
4 NO 6-7 TB-L, MIA-L, CAR-W, ATL-L 7-10 (5-7)
5 CAR 5-8 BUF-L, TB-L, NO-L, TB-L 5-12 (3-9)
6 SEA 5-8 LAR-L, CHI-L, DET-W, ARZ-L (3-9)
7 CHI 4-8 GB-L, MIN-W, SEA-W, NYG-W, MIN-W 8-9 (6-6)
8 NYG 4-9 DAL-L, PHI-L, CHI-L, WAS-L 4-13 

WAS has the easiest schedule going forward which is really going to aid them in the last 4 weeks. At worst they need to go 2-2 to make the playoffs. To complicate it, they have to play PHI twice, so if PHI wins both, they are in the playoffs, if they split WAS is in. So the Bears need to go 5-0 now to pass WAS. If they lose to GB, but win the last 4, that is only 8-9 and 6-6 in the conference, WAS would win the tiebreaker. 

The Cincy loss to SF really killed the realistic Bears chances (to go 4-1 in the last 5).

With that loss the Bears are eliminated from realistic playoff contention. They need to fire Nagy now.
