The cowboys offense didn't do jack against the 30th worst defense against the pass. Without Smith and Frederick their OL is not better than the Bears. The Bears have better weapons and I'm taking Tru 10 out 10 over Dak who can barely throw more than 200 ypg. And when you factor Nagy over Garrett, it's not closeThe Boys D is closer to the Bears than the O is. 100% agreed. Daks numbers looked good last night but watching the game he looked like garbage. The guy cannot stop fumbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marinelli has basically recreated that same D down in big D. Cowboys are a very similar team to the Bears right now except that they have a better OL and run game. I give Cowboys offense the edge and Bears defense the edge. Either way I wouldn't want to face either of these teams on the road in the playoffs. Bears have a better QB (assuming he is healthy). Dak is brutal. I would feel pretty good about facing Dallas in the playoffs if I were a Bears fan. The Saints are very beatable too. The Vikings would have beaten them if not for two very uncharacteristic turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a lot easier to beat the Saints in the cold in Soldier Field than having to go down to their loud dome. It's hard to believe we are talking about the Bears getting the 2nd seed in the playoffs. I knew you guys would be good this year (I said before the season started that I worried about the Bears a lot more than the Packers), but I sure didn't see you getting this good this fast. It would be great if the Vikings could find a way to catch up to you and win the division, but I don't think it will happen. We will probably have to settle for a wild card and hope to make some noise at that point. Also, as much as I respect what the Bears have done this year, I have to admit that I'll be cheering for the G-Men this week. It would help the Vikings if they win, and they are also Kate Mara's team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dll2000 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 NO is 10-2. They play: @Tampa, @Carolina, Pitt, Carolina Really hard to beat a team twice in three weeks, Tampa will probably lose but who knows, Pitt is no easy out. Not inconceivable they drop 2 more games to finish at 12-4. Rams are 10-1 and have to go to Detroit, Chicago and then get Eagles at home followed by Ari and SF which are practically gimmies. Not inconceivable that they drop 2 of the next 3 games, not likely, but not impossible. Go Lions, Go Bucs and Panthers. Yes, I know what inconceivable means. Of course Bears have to beat a semi resurgent Giants at home down their starting QB, GB, and Minn still. Not exactly easy and they have pretty much zero room for a let down game or off performance like NO just did. Should be an interesting finish.

This was supposed to be a learning year for a young team and a year for Robinson to heal his knee. We figured we would be a game or two over .500 pre season. MN was a pre season SB favorite. GB fans thought they were for some reason, I wasn't seeing it, but they were still supposed to be a playoff team. I thought North may be toughest division in football with even Detroit being dangerous. Saints, Dallas or Rams playing in 10 degree windy weather would suck for them. Home field would be huge. At least MN could just step outside for a week and acclimate their bodies. Other guys will be freezing balls. Like Miami kept us in sun, we should have little hidden water misters and air conditioned fans blowing on visitor sideline keeping them extra cold. I hope you guys lose. It sucks playing intra division games in playoffs. Like to play some one different even if they may be a bit better. Really hard to beat any team 2 or 3x in one year.

I once saw a documentary about the Purple People Eaters where a Rams player said that it was so cold in Minnesota that they almost knew they were going to lose when the cold air hit them as they walked off the airplane. It's a big factor for teams who play and live in warm weather all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't realize we are no different, your body just adjusts to colder or warmer temperatures as they come. In early Fall 50 degrees feels very cold. In early Spring 50 degrees is shorts and t shirt weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People think Chicago and GB is cold, there was nothing like the Met in December and Jan. Or so I've been told. I'm just a LITTLE too young for that. But I've been in Minny in the winter. Fortunately Minneapolis is a hot town, but the weather stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
