True, but the Bears need to take care of business or there still is still a possibility they'll miss out on the playoffs and be watching from home...

That and there weren't any serious injuries, right?  Plus Trubisky is coming back.

It definitely would as I had counted that as most likely a loss and still think that is most likely a loss. A win against the Rams I would class as a major upset.

I kept waiting for a Giants’ safety to try to intercept one of those wheel routes they kept allowing to Coen...

I kept waiting (and I bet I'm not the only one) for a late pick 6 or a strip, scoop, and score by the Bears defense...

Of course you can't depend on stuff like that, but it sure was a major factor the last couple games prior.

Exactly... I just knew it was going to happen.. Just never did..

Manning had too much time.. And Daniel was rushing the whole game..

That's why I was worried about this game.  Bears offense is not a juggernaut by any means.  In fact, the last 2 wins were decided by defensive scores.

The offense did put up 27 but in today's NFL you can't always count on your defense to totally shut down opponents and certainly can't expect them to score points.

Daniel almost pulled it out - made a lot of plays, but not enough to overcome his own errors.

As for the defense 30 is a lot to give up.  But if you take away the 3 in OT, the 7 when they weren't on the field, and another 3 (I believe) after Gabriel fumbles deep in Bears' territory...that's 17 points which in today's NFL is damn good.

Yep - need all 3 phases to perform well in order to win
