LittleHurt05 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Panthers lose because Cam cant throw the ball 5 yards. Zero chance the Saints lose 2 straight at home, so Bears will likely have to go through NOLA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam looks like a shell of himself right now and Norv Turner sucks. Gonna make it all the better when Bears go into the Superdome and whoop the Saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Even when thinking about wild card trouble with cowboys and seahawks resurgence, excluding this weeks stinkers, it’s like “oh we are going to face a team that’s offense relies on running the ball, good luck with that” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can shut down Mitchell, then the Bears D would need another Rams like shutdown performance. Which all means that if they do play, it will be a 38-35 shootout, cause sports.

Oh yeah I think the Bears need a Rams-like performance to beat either the Saints or Rams no matter what. I don't see the offense carrying them at that level.

If the Bears D gives up 30+ fine, then the Rams/Saints offense has just done its job and they won the big matchup. The Bears offense just needs to perform well enough.

This is closer to what I meant than an actual Rams-like performance of holding them to 6 points or less. If the Bears can keep either team under 20, they should be able to beat them. They won't win a shootout because Mitch and to some extent Nagy just aren't there yet imo. Good-enough play and good offensive play-calling with excellent D is the formula for this year.

nitetrain8601 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I think the Bears have to control the clock to beat the Saints or Rams. They have to give their defense a breather. If they play into a shootout, their defense will hold up for 3 quarters max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Colts get two, Ebron and Q. Nelson. I thought Darius Leonard had a very real argument, leading the NFL in tackles and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 So Amos, Prince and Goldman didn't make it and arguably could have. The thing about the Bears is they basically play a 2-4-5 defense with only two lineman because Goldman and Hicks along with the ILB are so damn good in the middle.

Jack Parkman Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Disclaimer: I really don't think this is an overly negative post I'm really interested to see how Nagy and Fangio call the playoff game because they both have a tendency to get really conservative with a lead. You can't do that in the playoffs. Hopefully Nagy learned that last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
