All comes down to green bay in two weeks.

[msadows]

It's my understanding that with the saints loss this week, and LAR loss, if the Packers win next week they have the bye clinched, since they have the tiebreaker over the Saints. I'd imagine that would lead to them resting at least Aaron Rodgers, does that sound right?

You are correct, but don't expect miracles to happen.

 

[EDPeezy]

I kind of see Green Bay playing their guys at least for the first half even if they have it clinched.

 

[msadows]

This is true

However I'd imagine with a bye, they wouldn't sit everyone the entire game va bears as that would be 3 weeks between meaningful action.

Could see them playing starters 1st half if game matters

Yep, and even then theyd only take out guys like rodgers and adams in the 2nd half. The majority of their starters will still play the full game.

If we want to make the playoffs, mitch has to have the game of his life.

I still don't see the Packers beating TEN, so they'll have to play their starters in the last game unless the Saints somehow lose to MIN (who is basically eliminated from contention).

More like the defense needs to have the game of their life.

 

[sevvy]

We are not beating the Packers.

MIN has the tiebreaker so if we both go 8-8 they'd get in if it came down to that.

 

[Briggs is GOAT]

We are not beating the Packers.

Even if they give Jordan Love a go?

With their full squad it would take a miracle, but sub out Davante Adams and Rodgers and I think that game is in our favor.

 

[Briggs is GOAT]

Even if the Bears make it we're looking at the Saints in NO, obviously anything CAN happen but we're looking at 1 and done.

 

[hawkinmontreal]

Even if the Packers game means nothing to them, there is no way that team is lying down for the Bears. Erin won’t go for it, it’s his legacy to crush our Bears at any given chance.

That really depends on if they want Bears in the playoffs or not. Wouldnt be surprised whatsover, if they play all starters against us, with #1 seed locked

 

[Briggs is GOAT]

You are correct, but don't expect miracles to happen.

Well I don't suspect that CHI will make it, I was just wondering if that was correct. CHI does have a fair shot at it though, I think there's a favorable chance that it'll be win and your in (AZ will lose one of those 2 tough division games), and that's the best you can hope for when it comes to squeaking in right?

We took saints to OT this season, and thats before this offense woke up. Anything can happen, we just need cards to lose.

They might but that could be a costly decision as well, Adams and Rodgers and Jones have all had injuries in the past. If I was them I'd give Jordan Love a go and at least rest Rodgers/Adams.

 

[CRM 114]

It's very unlikely this team loses to the jags.

Our season depends on mitch beating the packers.

Expect 8-8 and to miss the playoffs.

It was also very unlikely that the Rams would lose to the Jets. As long as Trubisky is starting, the Bears can lose to literally anyone.

 

[Toast88]

I don’t think the Cardinals are losing either of their final 2 games. Today was the Bears’ chance to get into that 7 spot, and the Eagles just couldn’t quite take care of business against the Cardinals. Now the Cardinals are going to be full-bore ahead.

I think it’s pretty likely the Bears go 9-7 and miss the playoffs in a year where there’s an extra wild card.

Some of those losses looming big now:

Lions
Vikings
Saints in OT

I think the Cards have a good shot at losing at least to LAR.

As 6.5 point favorites today; it was the Cardinals easiest remaining game as they'll be small favs over SF and dogs vs LAR

That would be the smart thing to do, but you know very well, thry get off on tormenting Bears

Rams lost to Jets today.... lol
Probably helps us, because chances are they will have something to play for week 17
