There are no gimmie games in the NFL. Bears better go int there and be prepared and beat the snot out of Jax.

Let me put it bluntly, if this game is not a blowout by the Bears, then it will be failure. I don't want this game to be close. I still think the Jags might choke this game. They are close to getting the #1 pick. But I could be wrong.

You think the coaches and the players want the #1 pick? Gabriel and Schuster were talking about this on their youtube vid yesterday on the Bears Barroom. That's not how anyone goes out thinking in the NFL, and the minute they think the team is doing it on purpose they'll check out permanently.

Those guys are going to go out and give it their all. Could it be a blow out, ya. Could it be closer then it should be, Bears should have trounced Det and lost. Again the Jets had the #1 pick secured, and the Rams had everything to play for that game is just as easily how the Bears game could go. The jags are not worse then the Jets and the Bears are not 1/2 as good as the Rams.

This is why this game is a trap game for the Bears. If the Bears lose, then Nagy is gone.

As bad and disappointing this season has been, I truly expect a blowout win. Jax is AWFUL.

Bears 41

Jags 13

Biscuit 244 yards, 2 passing TDs, 1 rushing TD

Monty 136 total yards, 2 TDs

ARob & Kmet both w/ a TD

Santos 2 for 2

Nichols 2 sacks

Mack 1 sack

Fuller & Jackson both w/ a pick

This is the easiest game of the year by far. Playing an awful team, with nothing to play for, who just wants to get the season over with.

players don't think there is nothing to play for, nor do their coaches. The Jets and Cincy had nothing to play for last week, and they won against far better teams then the Bears.

There are no gimmie games in the NFL. Bears better go int there and be prepared and beat the snot out of Jax.

Wasn't suggesting any game is a "gimme". Was simply pointing out its an easy win, by NFL standards, unless you screw it up.

So, don't mock the other team by dancing on their logo or take them for granted and coast.

I honestly think all this talk of "this needs to be a blowout" is poppycock.

The Jaguars, yes, are lined up to earn the No. 1 overall pick. But in the last month and a half, they only lost by two to the Cleveland Browns, three (in overtime) to the Minnesota Vikings and four to the Green Bay Packers.

These are NFL teams and no wins are easy. No matter how improved we think the team should be, we aren't the Chiefs. The Bears are not a complete team. A blowout is possible, but this team is 7-7. Keep your expectations in check. Get the win, stay alive.

Of course, just saying this game should be an easy win for a “playoff team”. Jags have nothing to play for. If the Bears can’t win convincingly, that’s says a lot about them.

This ^^^^^

There have been upsets of some of the best teams in the entire NFL this season. I don't think this is a game where the Bears just "show up" and stack another win. This is the NFL. There are no sure things here.

I suppose I simply disagree with the word "blowout", when I comes to this game. The Jags as an organization have "nothing" to play for, but the players do. Players play for their incentives, new contract, or just simply to extend their careers.

Obviously, some players will tap out, but this is week 16, not 17. I think that plays a small different, but a recognizable one. Players still have another week to stay in their weekly routines. Week 17? They will be thinking about cleaning lockers.

Players are professionals, you know they would love to play spoilers in another team making the playoffs. They find motivation all over.

I agree, the Bears should be the more focus, complete, and better team. Fans deserve to see the team be the dominant team. I would like to see a complete performance (example: 24-14). A blowout (28-3) would be nice, but not expected.

I’m just hoping that the Jags GM calls up Doug Marrone to tell him that James Robinson has a groin strain and can’t in fact play. The guy looks like a pretty legit threat and reminds me of Jordan Howard in the John Fox era!
