Week 12: Bears (5-5) at Green Bay (7-3)

[richig07]

Basically, a must win, if you want to stay in the divisional hunt. If they pull the upset - oddly enough there's a very real life pulse. They'll be 6-5, one game back in the North with H2H advantage, and they'll play winnable games vs 4 losing teams in DET/HOU/JAX/MIN before finishing with what could (if they win) be a winner take all Week 17 game for the north.

Mitch is your QB again. Eddie Jackson is good to go and Hicks/Leno are game-time decisions.

No one really gives us much of a shot. But... in divisional/rivalry games especially, weird things can happen. If the 5-9 Bears can beat the 12-2 Packers by a score of 35-7 13 years back. I think the 5-5 Bears can pull the upset vs 7-3 Green Bay.

Will they? Probably not, but... I'm here for it. I sat and rooted for us through this hellish last month-plus. No point in stopping now.

If Hicks can't go, that's pretty massive towards our upset chances, though.

Well Nagy and Pace made Mitch their guy, they have 6 games to prove they were right or get moved the fuck on. Same with Mitch.

I mean, Pace did. Nagy got stuck with him and then made Mitch "not his guy" 2.5 games into the season. I agree they're all gone if Mitch fails again, though.

Sort of fitting that Pace's future rides on Trubisky.

Well if Nagy wasn't all in on Mitch he wouldn't have made the Mack trade. I know Pace didn't need Nagy to sign off on it but Im guessinf they made the decision together. If you're giving up those picks, you're probably thinking you have the QB you want.

Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy announced Friday that Trubisky would start Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

"We're excited that Mitch is ready and it's an opportunity for him," Nagy said. "... He's extremely prepared."

The head coach made no assurances that Trubisky would keep the starting job behind Week 12.

Pace made the Mack trade. So, I don't really get what you're driving at there. And I think that, obviously, Pace thought Mitch was the guy. I also don't think Nagy would have taken the job if he didn't think he could work with Mitch. However, it's also widely reported that Nagy wasn't high on Mitch in the draft. Nagy also was clearly looking for a reason to bench Mitch. Doing so just 2.5 games in with a 2-0 record.

Maybe during this long period riding pine, it has given Mitch the time to gather himself, to observe and learn. Let's hope he's a smarter and better QB since the benching.

5-6, here we come.

Trubisky vs the defense that has laughed at him in public. I’d like to see him kick their ass, but I think this is the final nail in the coffin for his career as a starter.

Bears 19, Packers 17

Fuck you all.

Nagy is gone, im all but certain of it. You cant bench your 2nd overall qb for half a season then go back to him with a my bad.

Patriots beat the Cardinals...so that helps if we decide to ever score again.

 

[Jiddy]

Welp. Bucs lost too so if the Bears were ever going to get back into the playoff race it’s set up for them.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Vikings about to take 2nd place in the division.

 

[Jiddy]

Welp. Unless something changes, defense didn’t come to play.

 

[Payton]

SO damn hard to give a shit anymore... Going on 30 years of the fucking Packers walking all over us and I’m pretty much done with it!

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Mitch doing his thing.

 

[Jiddy]

Shades of Rex...

 

[Jiddy]

Maybe make the play in the first place and you won’t have to chase him down Quinn...

Talk about a complete, full team implosion.
