Hard to trust the Bears despite them piling up wins lately and taking over 1st place in the NFC North

 

[King of the Jungle]

Damn Bears keep somehow winning, don’t see that changing here.

 

[travdogg]

I've seen a lot of people talking about how many injuries the Bears have on the back 7, but honestly, I don't think that matters against the Steelers, who don't really have the offensive talent to take advantage of that.

Its possible the Bears struggle to block the Steelers pass rush, but Caleb has been maybe the best QB in the NFL this season at escaping sacks. I think the Bears will have a lot of success running the ball. I like Swift a ton in this one, and Monangai could be a decent desperation start.

Bears-30
Steelers-16

 

[Rubi]

A battle of first place teams
One looks pretty god
The other...meh
I'll take the one that looks pretty good...

Bears- 27

Steelers- 17

 

[IHEARTFF]

Battle of 2 division leaders just as we expected

 

[GrantK]

Steelers are weak agaisnt the outside run, Bears are good at outside runs, should be fun!

 

[FairWarning]

ARod is OUT for today.

I'm gonna go a different way here and just say I'm not a firm believer yet in the Bears despite being atop the North in late November
The Bears have won 7 of their last 8, have a 4 game win streak earlier in the season and a 3 game win streak coming in...
47-42 over Cinci and then it's a close win vs the 2-9 NYG and a close win against the 4-6 Vikings who they lost to in Week 1

I'm gonna take the Steelers as the road dog +2.5 today

I think we will learn a lot about both teams today. Both are fighting for their playoff lives.

I think I forgot that one guy was a former all pro stud and the other is still Mason Rudolph. My bad.

 

[belljr]

That's my Quarterback!!

 

[fred_1_15301]

That's my Quarterback!!

see you in January!

 

[renesauz]

wtf was that Caleb?

 

[irish eyes]

Heck of a 95 yard drive then strip sack td.

 

[crushedspirit]

I'm not sure what Caleb was thinking there

Pitiful play

 

[Osaurus]

A learning moment for sure. WTF?

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Pretty cool for TJ to break JJ's record with JJ on the broadcast team.

 

[karl.Racki]

That should stand

 

[FairWarning]

A learning moment for sure. WTF?

That is two today, running out of bounds a yard short of the first down without getting hit also.

 

[karl.Racki]

Can we stop with this Heyward crap..

 

[ShamrockPride]

Has the opportunity to go up 2 scores

Tomlin: Nah, I'm good.

 

[timschochet]

Not good if Metcalf is hurt. Hes not just the Steelers WR1, he’s also the the Steelers WR2, 3, 4….

Nice that they have 3 TE that are like WR and all 3 have good hands..

 

[belljr]

Worst sneak ever. It looked like they weren't ready for the snap

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

That was a great throw by Williams.

 

[FairWarning]

Loveland starting to carve out a piece of the offense.

 

[JoeJoe88]

Loveland starting to carve out a piece of the offense.

He’s going to be really good.

People were panicking wayyy too fast on him.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Offense looks more alive with Rudolph than with Rodgers.

 

[karl.Racki]

Rudolph is so trash LMAO

 

[irish eyes]

Game over.

 

[karl.Racki]

We have the Browns left, but outside that and its even 50/50, Steelers may not have another win left.. Bills, Lions, Ravens 2x, and Dolphins (playing better) are losses.

 

[Desert_Power]

"He's a hammer"

 

[karl.Racki]

People will complain tho about the offense, but that is 5 games, Steelers D has given up 30+ points.

Agree, defense has been trash all year.

 

[karl.Racki]

losing a timeout for a injury when the clock is stopped in wild..

NFL rules are so bad

 

[karl.Racki]

JFC Throw the ball more than a yard

 

[ShamrockPride]

Why are you throwing 2 yards to the middle of the field on a 3rd and 8 with time running out & no TOs?

 

[karl.Racki]

Cause Rudolph sucks and they have no faith in him to throw more than 5 yards..

Calvin Austin played like he had Bears ML today.

 

[karl.Racki]

People already throwing out this wasn't a bad loss against a 8-3 team with a backup QB.. Bears record is very misleading with wins over Commanders, Giants, Raiders, Vikings, Saints.

Only real team they played is Lions and they cooked the Bears.

They usually save the trash D for playoffs

Won’t have to worry about that this year.

Nope, went from division leader to out of the playoffs. It's for the best really. They would get steamrolled anyway.

I don't think the Ravens are much better than Pitt. They seem to be hanging on IMO.

I think they are way better..

Also don't get the hanging on comment? Ravens didn't play their A game today, but still won by 13. A few weeks ago, they were on life support, now they lead the North.

They haven’t played their A Game in a while. Balt had a hard schedule to start the season, now they have a very easy part where they can just out-talent everyone.
