whitesoxfan101 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 QUOTE (Shadows @ Nov 30, 2008 -> 08:56 PM) Really? They are down 10 at the half and were only winning 7-3 anyways.. this is hardly a collapse Grasping for straws. They gave away 7 points on back to back plays in the first half, turning a 14-3 lead into a 10-7 deficit. That's a collapse, but hopefully they overcome it and win.

whitesoxfan101 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) This team has no character at all other than about 3 guys, so the collapse after the 2 play swing of 14 points was predictable. It would have been hard for them to overcome that as it is because they also aren't very good, but they pretty much did nothing after that in any regard other than the long pick return by (I think) Payne. The season isn't over, but one back with four to play and with the season split, I have no idea who has the tiebreaker. Three straight home games now (followed by a road game against lowly Houston), and must go at least 3-1, if not 4-0. It's certainly possible as the remaining schedule includes a .500 team and 3 teams below that mark, but you can't trust this team obviously, especially after Orton "Rex'd" it this evening. The Vikings finish at Arizona, vs. Atlanta, vs. New York Giants, so it's not easy for them (although they have a free win at Detroit next week), so the Bears have a distinct schedule advantage. I just hope it matters. Edited December 1, 2008 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say each team has two losses in the division right now. The Packers actually have the edge in division games because they split with Minny and beat us but theyre a game back of us still and 2 behind Minny. Us being able to beat Green Bay in Chicago would be huge. the Vikings have 3 tough games and will be without the Williams's more than likely.

If it comes to that, in my opinion, Minnesota will have beat Detroit and the Bears beat the Packers so both would be 4-2 in the division. I'm guessing conference record is the next tiebreaker?

Packers aren't making the playoffs, as tough as that is for me to say. They are a mirror image of the Saints, only can win games if they score a ton of points. Have no defense with all of the injuries and can't stop anyone. The occasional turnover caused by their defense is what has kept them in all of their games.

whitesoxbrian Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The Bears could go 3-1 in the next 4 games. Jacksonville stinks, the Saints are medicore (it'll be hard to throw 50 times when it's 20 degrees out. Who wants to catch a Brees fastball in that?), and the Texans are...the Texans. I just don't see them beating the Packers though, but even that is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see them beating the Packers though, but even that is possible. The cold wouldn't matter to Brees as much as the snow and wind IMO. We saw today that Brees can be thrown off with poor weather (he only completed about 50 percent of his passes and had 3 picks in the Tampa rain), so I think who wins the Bears/Saints game might be in large part decided by mother nature.

Steve9347 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Pat and Kevin Williams, among others, have been suspended for the rest of the season. One week too late, but this seriously helps the Bears. NFL suspended Deuce McAllister, Saints DE Charles Grant, Saints DE Will Smith, Vikings DT Kevin Williams, Vikings DT Pat Williams, and Texans LS Brian Pittman for the final four games of the regular season for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Good thing Deuce already set the franchise record for scores because his NFL career may sadly be over. Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush will continue to carry the load for New Orleans. The news primarily effects opposing rushers of Minnesota: Kevin Smith, Tim Hightower, and Michael Turner the next three weeks. Hugely upgrade their matchups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Does Detroit suddenly have a chance come Sunday now? They'll have to stop Minny's running game, but this could be their best opportunity to get a W here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
