With the upcoming schedule, there's some for us to be happy about. 2 very winnable road games against doormats. A game at home against a good Rams team. The rest division games 2 of 5 at home. If we end up splitting with each division opponent, winning the non-division games we should win and losing to the Rams, we end up at 10-6. Beating either GB in Lambeau or the Lions twice is key. And the Rams game isn't a gimme for them in Soldier. They haven't been playing as well of late. However you slice it, we control our own destiny.

I honestly don’t know, what happens if it’s flexed, does that mess with the tickets somehow?Otis Day wrote:For my daughter's sake I hope the Ram game is not flexed. She got her boyfriend tix to that game. He has never been to an NFL game.

Yep, and I think we can beat them at Soldier Field. They didn't look that great against NE.donkeykong wrote:If I’m not mistaken I thought we opened up IN Green Bay, I believe they’re coming to soldier field.Mikefive wrote:This right here.wab wrote:With the Vikings on a bye, the Bears absolutely have to take care of the Lions this weekend.

The Lions have to do the same thing in terms of the number of days. We're talking about an approx. 4 hours worth of rest that is several days before the game. If that swings the pendulum in the Lions favor we don't deserve to win that game and we don't deserve to get into the playoffs.
It's the Lions. Go out there and kick them in the ass.
Our next four games are the Lions, Vikings, Lions and then the Giants. That's 3-1; MAYBE 4-0.
Bear down.

A very good point. The Lions have to play the Panthers that Sunday, so it's no walk in the park for them either.The Marshall Plan wrote:The Lions have to do the same thing in terms of the number of days.

the Bears cannot afford a letdown against the Lions if they truly want to stay in contention for the NFC North crown

You're right. I screwed that up. So even more to be happy about.donkeykong wrote:If I’m not mistaken I thought we opened up IN Green Bay, I believe they’re coming to soldier field.Mikefive wrote:This right here.wab wrote:With the Vikings on a bye, the Bears absolutely have to take care of the Lions this weekend.

Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".
