realized I never actually addressed the questions you asked ... so here goes

It seems like just yesterday we were dropping our loads all over our computers when we found out Ryan Pace fleeced the Raiders for Khalil Mack (all of us except WAB of course). That was three months ago and twelve games. Prior to that we were predicting a good season, but even the most optimistic BFO'er was 10-6 at the most, and 2nd place in the NFC North.
Well here we are boys. We are 8-4, in complete control of the division. The Packers are imploding, and we are headed into the last four games of the season. I think if, back in July, someone would have said we would be 8-4, with control of the NFCN, we would have taken it. For all the bitching and moaning that has gone on about losing to the Giants...we're in pretty good shape.

So for the final four games. For the Bears to finish 11-5.
I prefer my scenario above which highlights them going 4-0 and finishing 12-4

1. Who is the offensive impact player of the last four games?
for the Bears to go 4-0 as I think they will, it has to be Trubisky ... he has to make that step forward to be the man who controls the offense and the leader to make that control effective

2. Eddie Jackson was the undisputed king of the 3rd quarter. Who's the hero in the 4th?
I think it will still be Eddie Jackson ... others will also step up their games for the playoff push, but Eddie will continue to be in a class by himself, robbing people blind

3. Which game do we lose to bring us to 5 losses?
if they do lose one (and I am on record above saying they will go 4-0 to finish 12-4), it will likely be the last game to the Vikings when half the starters are on the sideline in street clothes

This is the home stretch. All of the belly aching aside, this has been a season full of hope and promise. With the anticipation of even better things on the horizon. Enjoy the ride boys! Bears are in first place in December...and the Packers are flailing. Life is GOOD!
this is the first time in a long time I can turn on a Bears game with the realistic expectation they can/should/will win ... and to think this is Nagy's rookie year figuring this stuff out ... he will get better at it which means the team will get better accordingly
AND the Packers look to be in disarray and facing a rebuilding effort while trying to placate an aging (but unfortunately still effective) diva QB
life is good indeed
