Do the Bears let the Packers in now that they've clinched??

Lovie Smith would love nothing more than to beat GB and knock them out of the playoffs........so, with that said, do the Bears fold up shop at halftime to rest some starters to prevent injuries? OR do you think with the bye week the Bears play it out and try to beat Green Bay?

I think they play them into the 3rd quarter at minimum.....

What do you think?

I think bears have to be tickled pink to get a 1st round bye, even they could not have dreamed to be in this position when the season started.

Green Bay pounds them by 2 TD's whether starters play 1 quarter or 4

Everyone says bears are weak this year but they have proven they are contenders. I don't know why people think they're the same shitty team they were last year. They just beat the jets, beat the packers already, beat the eagles... What else do you want? Only team they lost to was the patriots and the weather was horrible. I'm sure they still woulda lost with cleaner weather, but it wouldn't have been so bad. Bears are NOT as bad as everyone thinks, and if they do lose to the packers, it will not be by much.

What do you think?
I would guess they will play the first half and then keep playing as long as it's a one score game. If it gets to 2 scores then Lovie will pull the plug.

Once again, I am thrilled to see a prediction from you, propably the worst ever at it.

I did read you had both the Bears and Ravens(Not positive, but another that made the playoffs) missing the playoffs. Then at 7-3 you had the Bears not winning another game ..how's that prediction going?

Now you have them getting blown out in GB..I like it

Nope it was the Bears and the Jets...and yes both teams are frauds and will be lucky to win one game in the playoffs.
