I'm not much of a "hate Green Bay" guy as I have great memories of Wisconsin but I like geographic rivalries and the Bears have been doormats for a long time in this one. The fanbase (and owners) care about this more than most games. It will carry more weight.
Bears play well and win -- major feather in Flus' cap and he's safe. Fields would almost assuredly be the starter next year too.
Bears crap the bed like they unusually do -- I could see Flus still being in trouble and Fields chances would take a big hit too.
I can tolerate losing a well-played, close game 26-24 or something but if they look unprepared and uncompetitive, I think heads could roll.
That's it in a nutshell, for me anyway. This is a great opportunity for both guys. I could see this going either way for them (staying or leaving the Bears). If they can pull off a good performance on Sunday, stacking it on top of the better performances in the last half of the season, then I think both guys could stay - even Luke Getsy. I know that's anathema to most every Bears fan, but it could happen if the team stacks another win with a solid offense performance. The flip side is also there and an embarrassing outing could still mean the broom comes out and folks get swept out of here.
