It concerns me how pretty much every game they get a little lead and the other team makes adjustments and comes roaring back. We have got to out teams away!

News flash.  This team is not going to win the Superbowl this year.  They have a lot to learn still but damn its a fun season!  Put on those shades because the future is BRIGHT!

Someone needs to let Cousin's know that the Vikings are not why this game was flexed.  It was flexed so the nation could see the future monsters of the midway.  That is why two Bears games were flexed and not two vikings games.  Dumb ass.

Our team is young with a young QB.  That is the reason we cannot put teams away and they come back.  Additionally that's the NFL.  Too much talent on most teams to hold them back for 4 quarters.

I was wondering where A. Hicks has been, he showed up in a huge way last night!  Really everyone on D played great.

Since I had not watched a game in a few weeks, was interested to see Mitch play.  He does look as if he is getting better, obviously he still has some work to do.  Seems like he throws 4 or 5 WTF passes a game.  Also I wish he would slide a little sooner.  Just have a feeling he is going to get hurt with all that running around.

We gotta add some straight up running between tackles blocking schemes to help get Howard going.  When you have a 14 point lead on division rival in the 4th quarter, you have to be able to run the ball for first downs, if you do not want to put pressure on your QB.

Love the energy A. Miller brings.  Give him another year and watch out. 

Shaheen looked as if he grimaced on that 2 point conversion catch when he got up.  Now they are saying he has concussion.  I think his ankle is not right.  Will be interesting to follow.

Put me down for Detroit as a trap game.  I gotta a feeling we are going to catch a L.

Not so much a trap game because I don't believe for a second that they are overlooking Detroit.  More like a fatigue game, likely to run out of gas mentally and physically after the high last night.  But damn it would be nice to sweep those bastards.

Detroit beat the Panthers yesterday at home, so they got that going for them....

With the quick turnaround and to save the team from further wear and tear, if the Bears were down 1 with a few ticks remaining, I might actually be ok with Nagy going for 2...maybe.  Third time could be the charm after the Rivera and Vrabel failures

This team feels different than the previous incarnations we've experience in quite a while.....

Funny too see the on field interview of Mack when Tafoya mentions Hicks name and Mack breaks into a beaming smile for a minute then realizes that and brings his emotions back in control for the rest of the interview. These guys like playing for one another......

The team chemistry is real....

 Would it make sense to spend the week studing film and game planning foregoing practice in order to stay fresh and eliminate the chance of injury?

Panthers went for a win with a 2-pt conversion at the end of Lions game - instead of a tie

Cam Newton had a guy wide open and overthrew him

All those years....all those crappy coaching staffs, innovators on the opposing sidelines.  Sleeping Bears behind two scores before they make a first down.  Out of games early, franchise lows on defenses, grey, hopeless playing out the string.  The franchise making head scratching major decisions that drive it deeper into the basement.

Then somehow Ryan Pace shook all that muck off, hired Nagy, convinced Fangio to return (brilliant, impossible to underestimate) completely revamped the receiving corps, and somehow convinced the guy who analyzed MNF for years to give up Mack for two birds in the bush.

This team...

I was talking to a Lions fan yesterday and she said they are playing for draft position.  Remember that ALL too well.  Now we are playing for playoffs.  Who knows what could happen once you get in.....although watching some of the Saints they look almost unstopable.....

Mitch will only get better....he has so much talent. This Detroit game scares me - it's hard to get ready 3 days - we should have had the BYE week before this game. Guys are going to get hurt.

You can't tell me everybody on the Bears won't be gassed going into the fourth quarter of that game or before the fourth quarter. The Bears are better than the Lions but not that much better they can play lights out in the last half of their third, third! game in what, eleven days?

Trubisky did not have one of his best games, but that Minnesota defense is loaded with talent on defense.   Kudos to our unsung heroes of the game....Leno and Massey.  How many times did you hear the names of Everson Griffin or Danielle Hunter?  Two of the top 4-3 DEs in the league.

A good defense, like the Vikings, will limit the big plays by Trubisky and the Bears, making them work their way down the field.  Bears had another good chance for 7 when they  had first and 10 on the 10, but the Braunecker tackle put them back 10.

As for the defense at the end, Fangio went into a prevent giving the Vikings the short gains to eat the clock but preventing the big play.

Recall the Packer game when the Bears weren't able to accomplish that with Rodgers hitting those long gainers for TDs in a very short amount of time.

Too tense at the end but the object is to win not get style points.

Yep Minnesota's D is top notch. Many play makers.....it will be hard to win that game up in Minny + those week 17 games sometimes mean nothing.
