2018 NFC North Champions: Chicago Bears

Bears Whiskey Nut · Mon Dec 17, 2018 9:00 am

I am not looking backwards at all. Our losses are our losses. That's the way it goes. I think that the Bears are peaking at the right time, and the Rams are getting shaky. The cover has been pulled off of the offense, and the secret is, stop Gurley, and you stop the Rams. Goff is starting to struggle, and if his confidence goes, the Rams are done. Goff doesn't have the experience or the history to fall back on. If he starts to lose faith in his ability to deliver the ball, or make the right read. The 9'ers could easily beat them the way they are playing right now.

May be my good luck outfit. Wore this prior to the Rams game and put it on prior to leaving for my family function yesterday.

Just awesome!

I'm not posting a picture, but today at work I'm wearing my blue and white checked button down shirt with my dark blue T-shirt over the top that says in orange letters "There's no crying in football, unless you're Green Bay". Getting many good reactions to that.

I wore my Richard Dent jersey for the Rams game and then wore it again for the Packer game ... I'm having that as my go to game day attire the rest of the season

Division Champs!! I forgot how good this feeling is! Here's to hoping this ride doesn't stop here and they finish the job they started!

The Miami loss pisses me off more than the Giants game. We deserved to lose the Giants game, I predicted as much that we would and we got outplayed.

We beat the Miami Dolphins and completely gave it away with a handful of stupid ass plays. Whether it was not tackling Albert Wilson a couple times, Cohen/Howard's fumbles, Trubisky's red zone INT when a FG likely puts it away or Parkey's missed FG. I mean, any one of those things don't happen and we win.

1) Beat Packers
2) Eliminate Packers
3) Clinch NFCN Crown

A winning trio. Nice way to do it.

Just wished I'd believed hard enough back in August and bet $100 just on them winning the NFCN. That would have been a very nice Christmas present to collect.

Stats like this are always fun.

This x 10000.....especially since I was melting in the stands there

Gurley is questionable with a knee injury against the Cardinals. He’ll probably play, but if their run game doesn’t work the Rams could conceivably have another melt down today.

That two seed is close...

ESPN saying Gurley is OUT.

If the Steelers can pull this off, the Bears would just need the Saints OR Rams to lose next week to get a bye (and beat the Vikings).

If by some one-in-a-million chance the Saints lose this Steelers game, and the Saints AND Rams lose next week and the Bears win, the Bears are all of a sudden the number 1 seed.

EricTighe · Sun Dec 23, 2018 7:24 pm

Yippeee Kiyaaa it is the season of miracles.

Otis Day · Sun Dec 23, 2018 9:16 pm

Saints took care of business and clinched #1 seed. I just want the Bears to win next week in a convincing manner. I think that will be a hard feat as they suck on the road.

Next week is gonna be tough.

Bears open as 6.5 point underdogs...

Need to smash..

That’s a hedge against the possibility that the Bears don’t play their starters. Any other week it would probably be Bears by 1 or so.

Ninny needs to win to get in. So that too

BR0D1E86 · Mon Dec 24, 2018 1:55 pm

And on the topic of playing starters...

One of the benefits about playing in the afternoon.

Bearfacts · Mon Dec 24, 2018 3:06 pm

I'm not all that concerned with how it ends up.

If we end up with Minny again in a WC Game we play a team we're very familiar with at home and we don't have that "dreaded week off".

If we win and assuming we stay healthy we play LA and again they're a team we've played and beaten so we know it can be done.

I never even expected the playoffs this year so for me it's all a bonus no matter how if comes out although I would not like losing a WC Game to Minny at all.

A SB in 2018/2019 is more of a dream than hard core reality but next year I think we'll be peaking both offensively and defensively and that's when our odds improve quite a bit.
