PLAYOFFS! Bears at Saints Game Thread. Jan 4, 2021 11:08:56 GMT -6

Yes, we lost to the #1 seeded team yesterday, a Super Bowl caliber team. Stuff happens. But the Bears are heading into the playoffs for the 2nd time in 3 years. It sure would be nice to get a playoff win in this one. I know it's a long shot for sure. But I'm still hoping.

On a side note. There is no way Nagy is going to lose his job after making the playoffs. He took over a team that had a losing record 4-straight seasons. He's been in the playoffs 2 of the 3 seasons he's been here and won the NFCN in one of them too. I'm not saying he's great. I am saying he's not losing his job. Not now.

Here's how its going to go down.

(1) DEF is going to hang on to two picks.
(2) Patterson is going to return at least 1 kickoff for either a TD or into great field position.
(3) Santos is going to go 4-4 on FGs, including a 52 yarder right before the half.
(4) Mitch will have a Mitch game 20-30, 248 yards, 1 TD (Graham) and 1 redzone int.
(5) Montogomery will struggle but still put up 70+ and 1 TD.

(6) Kamara will not clear covid protocol.
(7) Thomas will reinjure himself early.
(8) Mack will hit Brees early, draw 15 yards for roughing the passer but the ribs will separate again, forcing Hill into action.

Therefor:
(9) Bears will score 26 points while playing keep away from the Saints OFF.
(10) DEF will force a punt/turnover late in the game.
(11) Mitch will throw the redzone INT
(12) Saints kicker will miss from 55 yards as time expires

Bears win 26-24 or 33-31 if Patterson get the KO for a TD.

I'll send anyone who wants what I'm smoking if you send me a self-addressed box with a $20 bill inside.

Ok but will you take a Canadian 20? 😃

I was reading that the reason why our game is on Sunday at 4:40 is so if Kumara is clear of Covid, he can play. If the game was on Saturday he would be able to play due to not enough days in isolation.

Could you imagine the uproar the league would have had to deal with after screwing the Saints in the last two playoffs and then scheduling the first playoff game where their main OFF star couldn't play?

But I am looking forward to the refs screwing the Saints again, this time against the Bears! Just imagine, 4 and goal from the 1, 7 seconds left, Bears by 5, Brees drops back, Mack turns the corner and slips, the Saints OT grabs a handful of his jersey and pushes him further into the ground. Brees finds Sanders flashing open in the back of the endzone and flicks him the ball. Everyone celebrates and then:

Flag on the play...an 8 minute conference ensues between the refs, that idiot head ref at NFL-Central-NY, and Roger Goodell. Then:

Holding number [insert number of Saints DL-man who is on the bench], 10 yard penalty, repeat the down and a 10 second runoff. The game lock has expired, and the game has ended.

People's brains would melt! It would be awesome.

Whats the best way the refs could stab the Saints again this weekend? post below!!!!

I think it goes down like this:

1. Bears come out of the tunnel for the game and curiously Nagy doesn't appear. Days after the Bears win the game, the custodian hears a pitiful whimpering cry coming from the air duct in the locker room. Upon further investigation they find Nagy duct taped in the air duct... he's fine but did lose a few pounds. When they remove the tape Nagy's first words are "I promise NEVER, EVER, EVER AGAIN - to call plays on offense."

2. During the game itself, the Bears defense does just enough to keep the game close - due to the refs calling an NFL-record 18 pass interference calls on the Saints. Mitch keeps winging the ball wildly (but within 10 or 15 yards of his receivers) all game long and the refs call PI over-and-over again. Bears win laying a 50-burger on the Saints.

3. The "bad news" though is that after the win, Pace believes it's a breakthrough epic game for Trubisky and gives Mitch a 5-year guaranteed contract that staggers the imagination. Nagy is then given a crazy long contract extension (once they find him in the air duct) due to the fact Pace believes it was Nagy's game plan that won the game "in absentia" because Pace believes Lazor was just the puppet and Nagy the brilliant puppeteer all along.

4. With Nagy firmly back in control for the divisional round playoff game, the Bears receive the opening kickoff and Patterson breaks a good return to midfield. Nagy, knowing he's by far the smartest HC to ever HC, dials up his vaunted "Orange234Tiger" personnel package and calls play #4734.2 variation 363.67c resulting in.....a delay of game penalty. Followed by a False Start, then a timeout, and then another delay of game penalty. 1st and 25, Sheer genius...

In fairness to Nagy, we need to take note of the fact that the old "play #4734.2 " is very complex. Nagy's variation 363.67c of that play alone is 3,578 pages in length. It is estimated that our current roster of players would all be dead of old age before they could possibly understand the play - much less actually execute it. Nagy is proud of that fact tho because it proves he's the "smartest guy in the room" even smarter than Jerry Angelo (I'm in awe of that fact to be honest).

FWIW

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton on Alvin Kamara's availability Sunday: 'We'll see'.

(...) However, Kamara will not be able to practice or be around the team before game day.

This could be huge.

It was Christmas Eve in 1944. The Germans and Americans put down their guns and celebrated Christmas together... It's with that spirit in mind that this week, as the Bears prepare to take on the Saints, that I stand up and raise my New England style IPA high and pronounce: Bear Down!
