Wish we could play nfc south in the playoffs cause wth lmao
Important matchup, if we win we get the 2 seed and face the packers in the wildcard. 2010 was the last time we won a playoff game and we got eliminated in the nfc championship game by Green Bay, so beating them in the playoffs would take a demon off us i feel.
Really need to put Bagent in here

^ Hoping for a lot of this 🐻🔽
If we lose this game we most likely won’t win any playoff games
Tough call. Winning to finish 12-5 would be great and payback on Lions. Would also keep to pattern of losing first game to division rivals then winning the rematch.
But it means facing Packers in Wild Card and we all know Packers will win that one to ruin season. Maybe better to lose so inevitable playoff loss is to a better team.
Hopefully recent history is on our side btw.
First meeting with Vikes, lost.
Second meeting with Vikes, won.
First meeting with Pack, lost.
Second meeting with Pack, won.
First meeting with Lions, lost.
Second meeting with Lions, TBD
Fuck the Lions. Then fuck the packers again. Then fuck the superbowl. Hard.
Who we rooting for? 49ers & Seahawks? I kinda wanna run it back against the 49ers
Wait so is there any stipulation on who wins Hawks niners? Or is it pretty much set in stone
Do we have the #2 seed locked up, regardless of the score tomorrow?
First ever Bears game I’ll be attending tomorrow. Bear down baby, let’s get 4000
Do these always get posted this early? I got excited thinking the game was today
Man after so many high stakes and anxiety inducing games it’s so strange to be nearly indifferent about the outcome of a game
please for the love of all the ditkas do not give us the Monday night wild card game
Fuck it, Caleb: 25/34, 386 yds, 5 TDS, 34 rush yds
Bears: 53-20

12-5
Can we pin a post that clearly lays out the circumstances for win/loss and who we should be rooting for around the league? Obviously just win is top priority
Regardless of the outcome of the next few games the bears will not be looking for a new head coach or starting qb, and we all agree it is the right place to be. What a time to be alive.
FTP!!
I’m coming up to Chicago for our game, I just know the energy in the city will be absolutely electric. BEAR DOWN
FTP.
I mean, FTL.
Caleb does need to improve his completion percentage for sure, but that’s an example of a play where Caleb would have thrown it out the back of the end zone instead of taking that sack. His sack avoidance and just throwing the ball away does make a difference
who do we want to win the hawks 9ers game?
Can anyone explain what benefits the Bears more, a Seahawks win or a 49ers win? I’ve seen contradicting articles that explain both and why it’s better for us so I’m even more confused. Are we playing Green Bay no matter what? Do we have any chance of anything being different if one wins over the other? Much appreciated!
I would love to be the team that ends Detroit’s season with a losing record, especially with all the shit they have talked.
Planning on going to the game tomorrow. First Bears game in person. Besides the standard parka and some hand warmers, does anybody else have any recommendations to stay warm?
49ers defense is just awful. I have a hard time taking the Bears (or 49ers) as serious Super Bowl threats due to the two defenses. Amazing offense by itself only gets you so far in the playoffs. Need a defense that can hold its end of the bargain. Not to say this season isn’t a massive success still, but short term it is what it is.
