Bears lose a close game, a game they probably should've won.

EDITED:

Originally I pointed out the Vikes aren't the Pack. Heck - they aren't even the Lion. But the Bears without Oline, RBs or TEs ... has potential to look very Cleveland-like. Except I have a feeling this is is the beginning of JF1 starting to pick the entire team up and carry them. I'm going to guess he rushes for over 100 yards and throws for at least 2 TD maybe 3, in a Watson-like performance. Unfortunately, like Watson he doesn't play defense.

Just cannot see a W coming from this team. The D is beat up. Dalvin Cook will run all over the Bears. Jefferson will be unstoppable. The Bears O put up some points Sunday night, but I am thinking the Pack D was initially taking them lightly.

Hoping Nagy gets canned after the game to the early search can start.

I just don't see this team winning another game. Maybe against the Giants, but Nagy will fuck that one up too.

Vikings are kind of hot and have a lot to play for. Ugly game I think...

Bears play a decent game, but just don't have enough healthy talent to win.

This is a difficult game which I’m a bit concerned about.

Bears lose 27-17

Nagy abandons the run early while Zimmer runs Cook down our throats.

Only if the next guy is better.

We know Vildor isn't.
Small sample or not, I think we can safely add Crawford to that.

Are you in on Shelley?

Oh - I totally missed Shelley going on IR.
So Graham will almost certainly be elevated instead.

I guess the complete unknown has the most potential of any of the mopes below 1 on the depth chart.

Game ends with Bears driving but Nagy elects to try a 57 yard field goal against the wind down by 4.

The Bears injuries are piling up. Robinson is a complete non factor. Our OL is a mess. The Bears know that Nagy is dead man walking, and they are effectively out of anything for the playoffs. On the other hand the Vikings still have a shot at a wild card. The Vikings aren't a great team, but we will have no answer for Dalvin Cook. I think the Bears score 10 in the first half and then get blanked in the second.

Yeah... that's going to be one that you wish you had back. Afterwards yeah, you can ask yourself maybe that was a time when you could have gone for it and tried to score. You know - collaboration... we're going to go back and look at that.

I think this will be a sloppy, yet strangely entertaining game ... Vikings are desperate for a win to continue to have a sniff at the playoffs while the Bears are desperate to not lay 2 stinkers in a row on their home field

Nagy has a fever dream the night before the game and figures out one or two of the "why's".

Neither defense fills me with confidence. Cousins ain't Rodgers, and I think we can contain him for awhile. If we sell out to stop Cook, and just contain the big play overtop, I think we squeak out a win
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!
