Bears Going "All In" for the Draft

I mean there is no reason to risk Fields at this point. He already had a visit to the medical tent, he doesn't need another one 

If I were Nathan, I'd fly his family in for this one. Could be his best game as a pro. 

So a stat line like Peterman - 406 yards, 3 TD, 0 Int. 

Watching that game I remember thinking the Lions were putting some damn hard hits on him and wondering when Eberflus was going to pull him.  Unreal they let him keep playing.

I think I'd rather watch this Peterman...

You can't underestimate what the D is capable of, hope they don't exceed my expectations. 

Last year I was wondering what it would have been like to win all those one score games.  I guess this year I am finding out.

I think last year's team was better. If we had somehow snuck into the playoffs, I would've had more confidence in that team winning a game or two than I do in this year's team.

And it'll feel worse in this game against Chicago. I hate to be such a downer, but this D is f#$%ing horrible. The O-line is missing parts. I expect Chicago to release the hounds and make Cousins's life miserable.

I'm not too worried about Chicago. We're probably better off with the 3 seed anyway.

But the prevailing thought in the preseason--that this team needed some time to get the new offense and new defense clicking--never materialized, especially on defense. 

Also, I've always believed that the team who wins the Super Bowl isn't necessarily the best team, but it is almost always the team who enters the playoffs hot and healthy. The Vikings are neither hot nor healthy. 

Could it happen in the playoffs? You bet. See 1987. We can win the 1st game, but getting past teams like the 49ers or Cowboys seems so unlikely right now.

Don't disagree. But my point is its going to FEEL worse for VikingNation with a loss in Chicago. Which I really think is going to happen. 

Losing O'Neil really took the steam out of my engine...

And has already been pointed out, what we fans were hoping for as improvement over time? Just hasn't materialized to the degree we would have liked by now. On both sides of the ball. 

The losses being as fugly as they have been? Just casts a spotlight on how the play calling and personnel need to improve next year.

We'll see how far they can go this post-season. Frankly, I think GB is the team on a roll in December and the Bucs are lurking out in the shadows.

I will be happy when Brady and Rogers are faded memories.  

Vikings fans need to invest in this, especially this year.
