BearSox Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 With Green Bay's loss today, they are pretty much eliminated from the picture. However, we have an up hill battle to climb to overtake the Vikings. Our next three games are fairly tough games, IMO, but the Vikings have a brutal 3 game stretch with Arizona, Atlanta, and New York Giants. The biggest thing holding us back from the playoffs are ourselves. In the past four games (including today), we have only played 2 good halves, IMO. Our first half vs. the Jags today, and our first half vs. the Rams. Hell, if you think about it, our last good game was vs. the Eagles (I don't count at the Lions as they don't count as a team). I am kind of amazed how we've won 7 games already. We have really played like shit this year, with all three fascits of game (offense, defense, special teams) rarely ever playing well for a full game. I could see us finishing 7-9, and I could also see us finish 10-6. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selection7 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I am kind of amazed how we've won 7 games already. Most other teams are dealing with the same problems. Somebody has to win each game. ...and also Detroit was 2 of 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danimal99 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 BEARS will have to run the table IMO to make the playoffs. Every game from here on out is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Saints are bad away from the Dome, but if the conditions aren't that bad on Thursday, I could see us getting torched. As for the Packers, they suck, but they sure did bend us over and had their way with us. And the Texans are a lot better team then people give them credit for, and they will be tough at their place.

Thursday's high is suppose to be 19 and the low 7. So it's not going to be Saints weather. I'll go with the beloved on Thursday night. Brees is pretty average on the road.

Da Bears 88 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Brees is pretty average on the road. So is half the bozos we faced this year. That didn't stop them from lighting us up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danimal99 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 So is half the bozos we faced this year. That didn't stop them from lighting us up. Talk about lighting someone up. Have you seen the aints defense ?? They are 21st in the NFL that's worse than the BEARS D This just in..... BEARS won't be up against the Titans D. Oh and Kevin Jones will be inactive AGAIN and Grossman won't play so that's a plus for the BEARS !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChileBear Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 The biggest thing holding us back from the playoffs are ourselves. Bingo!! Now, if the coaches can get their heads out of their butts we've got a good shot. Then again, that is one hell of a big IF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the Giants will not play there starters the entire game against the Vikes becasue they will want to rest some for playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 They may still be fighting for home field...I don't expect the Giants to lay down for Minny...

clnr Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Giants played guts out last year against the Pats in week 17, although they already had clinched playoff berth. So I agree with MadLith, no cake walk for the Queens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danimal99 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I just hope BEARS still have a shot at making the playoffs when Giants travel to Minny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
