I know this is a pie-in-the-sky prospect, but not impossible. If they end up splitting with GB, they would clinch the North, since GB will have lost to Detroit or the Vikings, both of which the Bears will have beaten.

It wouldn't be the first time a 7-9 team has gone to the playoffs, assuming the Bears win out.


Ummmm...Detroit has 8 wins right now. Bears going 7-9 means they lose the division. See how that works?

Some of your people can't read. The first line I wrote was a question.

"Despite the Bears overall bad record, don't they still have a chance at making the playoffs if they win out their remaining divisional games?"

W_Z's article on the Raiders is proof that the system for determining playoffs is inherently flawed and stupid, that divisional games count secondary compared to overall record when determining the divisional winner. It should be the other way around, first division wins and when a tie-break is necessary, looking at head-to-head record, and then overall record if still necessary. For the wildcards, it should be best overall record of the teams not chosen by the above method.

No wonder why people aren't watching anymore. The NFL can't even set up the playoffs properly.


This playoff format isn't anything new. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And your second line was a statement. I know this is a pie-in-the-sky prospect, but not impossible. If they end up splitting with GB, they would clinch the North, since GB will have lost to Detroit or the Vikings, both of which the Bears will have beaten.

Bears eliminated, that makes six straight years out of the playoffs, out nine of the last ten, out twenty of the last twenty-five.

For people like me born after the Bears won the Super Bowl, why should we treat this franchise as the undisputed king of Chicago sports?

Not the way the Bears play it. It's a Cub's town and it always has been.

I'm not even sure the Cubs are a bigger story right now.

The John Jay signing was bigger news than another Bears loss.

Have the Bears been officially eliminated? I thought you could loose 12 games as long as you split with the Packers or something.

Oh, my god... I never saw this thread before.

How can anyone who even remotely follows sports not know that?

Dignified Rube is the board's greatest asset.
