That was the last of the Lions before that wonderful Matt Millen era... I also remember the lock room demanding that Matthews start. They hated Mcnown that much. And, of course, he ended up playing anyway. Oh yes Roy, I remember the DET game.

JDM, maybe I'm just that much older than everyone, but also the Bears famously ended Detroit's last brush with the playoffs for 11 years in the last game of the 2000 season. The Bears & fans loved that one. And forgot that one Kenneth, the O-Line did play shockingly well against Seattle. Good thoughts all, guys.

How well we play in those games will determine how far we go. 4 left, 3 in the division. How well we play in those games will determine how far we go.

I get what you're saying, though. That game just took a lot of life out of me. I've been avoiding coverage of the Bears most of the week. It's just hard to think about it, without visualizing all the ways it can go wrong and collapse. I hope they crush the Vikings. Getting back to 17 point wins would do a lot for my confidence.

I always pencil in the game at the dome as a loss. However, with the way the NFL is, and Percy Harvin is out, I might change my mind. I have no doubt Cutler can crave up the Vikings defense. I don't really have faith they can avoid having 25 false starts. It sounds like they've almost thrown in the towel in Minnesota. So, hopefully, that means half of the dome will be filled with Bears fans. They are two games ahead in the playoff hunt, and they currently hold tie-breakers over all the 6-6 teams. None of those teams are running the table, so it's up to the Bears to get to 10. One of those teams will probably go 3-1. You would prefer not to have the DET game count for anything. Underachiving teams late in the year are dangerous to play against. This is especially home underdogs in a division game. The Bears did it to Minnesota in 2003, 2004, and 2009 and the Packers in 2007. Well, they still can get in at 9-7, but you certainly don’t want to come down to that.
