I mostly talk about the Chicago #Bears, #Cubs, #Blackhawks, & #Illini
Ugh. I don’t want to play either team. Give me LAR or GB.
If the Rams win out (which is likely), the 6 seed will be whoever loses between the Seahawks and 49ers.

The Rams would probably put up 40+ on the Bears defense in LA. With Chicago winter, though?

I ultimately can’t be too mad about this loss. This Bears team honestly may benefit by this humbling after that magical Packers win. Letting “Team of Destiny” shit go to their head was a realistic concern. They lose, but they know they can beat the very best, just gotta have more from the defense.

Another thing: Would be a great opportunity to get your backups game action. We saw what happens when Hanie was pressed into action all those years ago. He had a meme mustache and was barely ready to take the field.
I’m fine resting key starters next week. Bears will have a home playoff game more than likely and it’s not worth losing to a crestfallen Lions team with your A Squad going into the playoffs.
The Bears cannot get the 1 seed. A win or Eagles loss in Week 18 clinches the 2 seed for them.

Caleb’s hesitation right before the weak throw to the end zone was the coffin nail. He needs to learn to trust his first instinct and let it go.

This is a #hottake, but...

The difference between the 2 and 3 seed isn't as significant anymore since there's only 1 team that gets a bye. IDK if Ben does this against his former team, but I'm not opposed to guys resting/treating next week like preseason. Playoffs matter way more.

This here. Defense was cracked on the nose tonight and deserve to be dressed down.
Damn that sucked, but you can’t expect to win any game when you give up 40 points and over 500 yards of offense.

Awesome game from Caleb and Burden. It’s going to be difficult to win in the playoffs with the defense playing this poorly. Need a bounce back against the Lions next week.

And that’s that for him.
Luther Burden now taking a cart back to the locker room.
Luther Burden stayed down in the end zone. The trainers tried to help him off the field and then he crumpled down onto the grass again.

Burden appears to be in some pain.

Cannot lose him and expect to win in the playoffs. Odunze is unlikely to be very reliable with that foot injury and Moore is being beaten to shit every week.

Hell of a game, but this is war. I hope we see these mothefuckers again.

Bears gotta go for it on 5th down
December 29, 2025 at 4:30 AM
That’s probably game. Damnit.
December 29, 2025 at 4:29 AM
Can’t drop that, Colston.
December 29, 2025 at 4:25 AM
Bears may not draft a single player on offense this spring. I’m not kidding.

Best case scenario there really.
December 29, 2025 at 4:13 AM
Let them score.
December 29, 2025 at 4:11 AM
Come the fuck on with these penalties.

I hate that this is the case
Less nervous about the 49ers scoring because that seems inevitable. More concerned about how much time (if any) the Bears will have to score a TD back to win it.
December 29, 2025 at 4:05 AM
God damnit.
December 29, 2025 at 4:03 AM
Can’t Peter out with a field goal here.
December 29, 2025 at 4:03 AM
A punt forced! How novel
