Ladies and gentlemen...it's on.

Game of the Year! Two 7-1 teams, great defenses, highest scoring differential, NFC vs AFC, in primetime. Gonna be a great game.

 

Bears 27-20, with Houston scoring a garbage time TD to make it look closer.

Game of the Year.. Until next week!

 

I don't see us going 15-1 this year, so a loss has to come at some point. The game will be won in the trenches. If JJ Watt is a non factor, the Bears likely win the game. If Tillman plays, I don't worry too much about the Texans offense against our defense. I don't have the same fear factor that I do when we go up against GB, and we play them well most times.

 

Cutler can't have one of his games where he's constantly throwing off his back foot either, because of the pass rush. I know it's easy for me to say, but he's got to stand in there and be the franchise QB we paid him to be. I'd get him outside the pocket a lot, and mix it up with a healthy dose of screens/misdirections to neutralize Watt. Cutler is actually a better passer on the run than he is in the pocket. The statistics prove it.

Bear down!

 

We are supposed to win this...let's do it!

 

Just don't put a blood pressure machine on me on Sunday night...it's bound to be through the roof!

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen...it's on.

 

This is only the 5th time since 1970 that two 1-loss teams have met in week 10 or later, according to espn

So this is more than a Game of the Year, Game of the Half Century!

The weather is going to have a huge factor in this game. Game time temperature will be in the high 40's, low 50's with a 90% chance of rain, with winds as high as 30 mph.

 

For injuries, Ben Tate and Shaun Cody will be out for the Texans, while Owen Daniels is a game time decision. Tate has always been a great change of pace back for Foster, Cody was their starting NT, so his loss will definitely help the Bears running game. Daniels is a huge part of their passing game, so his injury will be something to watch. He only has 6 less targets than Andre Johnson, is the 8th best TE and was Schaub's security blanket.

I don't know where everyone is getting these forecasts from. Using weather.com and the 60605 zip code (where Soldier Field is located), the weather says windy and 63 with a 10% chance of rain. For Monday, it says 39 and a 20% chance of rain. So yes, maybe the temperatures will be in the 40's and it will be windy, but I don't get where 90% chance of rain is coming from (Zaidman had 80% chance of rain yesterday).

 

However, 45 degrees and wind gusts definitely helps the Bears.

 

20-17 Bears

Weather.com > using 60605, going to game time of 7:20pm - 11:00pm due to prime time, it shows 90% at 9pm, and 100% at 10pm on the hourly forecast. This has actually shifted a few hours to the right as it was 100% at 7pm this morning. It also shows temps in the low 50's and sustained winds in the teens and low 20's. This forecast hasn't changed much in 24 hours. 63 is the daily high and 10% rain is only for the day. That front moves in and it is going to get nasty, then cold on Monday.

I am hoping Carimi's experience against Watt in Wisconsin will help the entire O-Line against him.

Off-Topic: I am in love with the Panthers uniforms right now. Black with blue socks. Awesome

Wow this game is taking on even more importance with losses by Atlanta and the NY Giants. SF is in overtime with STL, so they may lose as well. That would be huge to gain a game on every other Division leader, and a 1/2 game on the idle Packers.

SF has lucked out so much in this game. St Louis negates an 80 yard would have been game winning FG because of a dumb rule about reporting. What the heck is its purpose?

Actually the WR lined up wrong and left the Tackle uncovered. Either way, they made a FG in overtime only to have a delay of game penalty, then they miss the next FG. SF looked like garbage.

This is the longest intro ever! Get the freakin game going!

fu.cking Kellen Davis is so .freakin bad. Unbelievable!

Hester can't even get 1 yard when all he had to do was move forward.

Lol. Hang on to the freakin football you idiots.

Looks like another game the D is going to have to win.

This sucks, how does Hester not get a half a yard 1v1? Davis and Bush both lose fumbles, we are killing ourselves.

At this point, the only player I trust to make a play on offense is Brandon Marshall. We're going to have to beat someone deep because we can't protect the football. Defense needs a 3 and out.

Jennings with a clutch INT!

Jennings with an INT!! Bears must convert this into points now.

They said they were going to double him and do what they have to. They need to use forte

Cutler's Sunday night struggles continue.. 3 consecutive drives that should have resulted in points. Now defense has been on the field for too long already.

Who was he throwing to, Davis? That was a horrible turnover after the Marshall catch.
