Agreed, need to put their foot on the necks of the Lions and come out with a W. Then they can enjoy a 17 day vacation before facing the Rams.

Per Nagy, Shaheen and Lynch suffered concussions. With the short turnaround, I would expect they'll be out, though nothing official yet.
Not glad to lose them, but it certainly could be worse.

SEVENTEEN?
Oh you're chalking up NFL road games as automatic wins?
(Plus, I keep thinking we play the Rams after Detroit, but we don't.)

It would be hard to win out but it is possible.
I'm not sure we will take out the Vikings at home, especially if we have already clinched the division. I'm hoping it doesn't come down to that game. The Pats and hopefully SeaHawks will take care of that but I think the Vikings are good enough to play with those teams, even if they are away games. This team went to the NFC Championship last year.
I think 11-5 a very good possibility which won't catch the Rams or the Saints. I would love to clinch the division at home against Green Bay. That would be a sweet situation.

No, I'm chalking a win against the shitty Giants as an automatic win.

Yeah, well, the Chargers probably thought that having the Broncos at home would be a lock as well. Never take a team for granted.

I don't think it's too outrageous to think we can catch the Rams. If KC beats them, and I think it can go either way, then the Bears will be just one game behind them to set up the showdown in 3 weeks. Of course, the Bears have to take care of business against the Lions and Giants, but the Bears will be favored to win both of them. We shall see.

Bears shouldn't be taking any team lightly, especially after they have floundered away games this season against Miami and GB.
Anyways Giants are terrible and are afterthought at best.

Kerryon Johnson likely out for the Lions on Thursday. He's having a MRI on his knee tomorrow. That's huge.
