Game 15: Packers @ Bears - Saturday, Dec. 20th @ 7:20 PM

[Fear The Chorizo]

Jacobs got dinged on that 3rd and short

[young guns]

I almost wish he hadn't got such a big chunk.  I'm enjoying eating all this clock.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

If we go into Chicago without Parsons and Love knocked out of the game and win, it'll be enough for me to be happy with however the season ends considering the circumstances. I'm salivating over just the chance I can throw it in every Bears fan's face I know.

Yeah. We need to just score. But I despise our 2 minute defense. 

[adambr2]

Absolutely hate that call. Keep pounding it.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Really hate kicking the FG here. It just doesn't help. 

[adambr2]

That run to Jacobs to the 3 should have been the 1st down call.

[HarryDoyle]

Field goals are not going to win this game. This has 7-6 halftime score all over it.

Triple..

Yeah, sorry...got lost in the ads

Think Willis could've run that in on 3rd down.

Cant for the life of me understand why they get pass happy on the 5 when youve basically run the ball the previous 85 yards

That drive was shot on that first down call. Absolutely hate that. Then the obvious run out of shotgun followed by an obvious passing down. Just bad playcalling the whole sequence.

No, they’ll just start from the 35 and wind up down 6-3 to go into halftime. If you go for it here, they’re probably not getting into FG range anyway, so this is probably a wash. I’d rather try for the 7.

Id look forward to the offseason debate about how Williams is the better qb than Willis

And Wilson did most of the lifting. He is so much quicker to the hole.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Would have rather forced the Bears to burn more timeouts and drive 96 yards. That FG is near worthless and now they will probably start a drive from the 40. Ironically if they kicked the first time down, that one would have been actually meaningful.

But then maybe the Bears score on the following drive with much better field position.

[OldHeidelberg]

With Willis in get all the points you can, this is a tough lift anyway. Going to need turnovers to win this.

[adambr2]

Annddd they start from the 35. So we gained 3 points minus 32 yards field position in return for sacrificing a 50-50 shot at 7.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Feels like a massive win not surrendering the 3 right back. Feels like a massive loss having 6 points.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Ill say it and will continue to do so even if the Bears manage to grind out a home win against yet another backup qb- this 10-4 record is so damn inflated.

[adambr2]

Man I think I just go for that if I’m the Bears. Take the knee here and the 6-0 lead.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I get it and I can't say it's an awful decision but 45 seconds and a timeout is definitely an opportunity. 

[adambr2]

Seems like Chicago kind of sucks with their 0 points, Soldier Field fans.

From your own 8 with a backup QB? Nah I’m good and I lean aggressive.

Too much can go wrong and too little of a chance for things to go right. You probably need 60 yards just for a shot at a FG.

Yeah.  If you fail to get it, it's good field position, but you couldnt expect Willis to get us into much closer field position than a long fg attempt in this huge wind.  Feels like well worth the risk.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Somewhat dominant stats in the 1st Half, except points scored. 6-0 is a very tenuous lead. But it still is a lead.

Massive momentum potential drive for Chicago to open the 2nd Half.
