Week 11: Vikings at Bears

[diehardtwinsfan]

This is pretty much a must win in my opinion. We need to go to Soldier Field and take them... which means we won't. 

[TheLeviathan]

Soldier Field has been a nightmare for us.  I honestly have no clue what ot expect going into this one.

 

I know this though:  Dalvin Cook is a game changer for this team.  He might be the difference.

[diehardtwinsfan]

yeah, the last few times I've watched them in Chicago, the TV got turned off in disgust... If they have one of those games, it may as well be season over.

Just looked this up. The Vikings are 2-6 at Soldier Field since 2010... Ouch.

Those haven't exactly been the glory years for the Bears, either. They just had one playoff team in that time (2010).

That's not good, though the Vikings weren't good most of those years either. It looks like they won at Soldier Field in 2015 and 2017, the two times the Vikings actually had good teams. In that span, the only time they lost at Chicago when the Vikings had a decent team was 2012 when they were still starting Ponder at QB.

 

I'm going to be optimistic about the game if the defense is relatively healthy.

Optimism? Our Vikings?

Well I mean, it's only a regular season phenomenon.

[Badsmerf]

Is Diggs in? Is Rhodes in? If yes to both I like the Vikings. The bears are overhyped.

yes to both. Barr is out.

If you want to talk Vikings tonight, head over to purplepain.

Wow... Already 8 pages deep.

[Badsmerf]

I need to try to get ace steam hooked up.... or I'll need to be at the bar all night.

based on the start of the game, you may not need to be in the bar all night.

[Mr. Brooks]

Dalvin Cook has no concept of ball security.

I like what he brings to the table, but until he learns how to hold onto the ball, he's a liability.

[Mr. Brooks]

Some picks are right place right time, that one by Harris was a hell of a play.

[gunnarthor]

Our OL is a problem. It's got to get fixed next offseason.

[Mike Sixel]

Nothing about this team says great, let alone super bowl caliber.

[gunnarthor]

This Bears team is going to be pretty easy to dislike.

[Vanimal46]

The Bears look pretty damn good... I don't know if we have to stay up late for this.

Yeah, our defense is completely outclassed right now. They better get things figured out quick, or the Bears can name their score.

[TheLeviathan]

Man, when Cousins looks terrible, this team looks like it can lose to anyone.

Cousins is playing bad, no doubt.

But this offensive line really puts the "offensive" in offensive line, my oh my.

[gunnarthor]

We should maybe start thinking about going for it on fourth and short.

[tvagle]

Any chance this game follows the same as the Pitts vs Jax game from earlier today?

 

One team totally outplayed...pathetic looking offense...down 2 scores late in the game only to comeback and win

[TheLeviathan]

This team is outstanding at making third and short look impossible.

[Mr. Brooks]

What could possibly be going through Kendricks mind there?

Zimmer's players have a hard time controlling their emotions.

[Vanimal46]

The defense is keeping this game close... Let's go Kirk.

[Mr. Brooks]

Time to start taking advantage of the turnovers.
