5 Reasons Chicago Bears Season Finale In Minnesota Is Actual

Except, if Barkley is still being evaluated then you can't throw him out there with the backup-backup WR and the scrub OL. You also can't play all the rookies on DEF because if/when Minny gets up big than Barkley has to throw. If they really wanted to tank, they should start Fales. But its the classic players wanting to win or guys like Bellamy playing for a job next year VERSUS fans wanting the 4th stringers to play 60 minutes to guarantee a loss.

Some of these guys are playing for their NFL careers or their next job. A guy like Bellamy has to have a good game to generate looks next year. So do some of the CBS and safeties who won't be on the team next year. There will be 4-5 FAs and 7-8 draft picks who take roster slots from guys currently on the roster. Those 10-13 guys who are going to be replaced are not going to roll over so that the team can get a higher draft pick. 

Just get a roster and go down it listing the guys who won't be around next year. Those guys will be trying for one last game to impress someone, anyone around the league. 

Look at Bellamy. IMO ST-gunners are not a rare breed. To make matters worse for him he's basically a ST-gunner who has struggled in the OFF with his hands. With teams always trying to maximize roster space, your ST-gunners (unless they are HOF level ST-gunner) have to be able to contribute in another phase when called upon. Any team looking for ST help wants to know that he can contribute if called upon as a wide receiver. So Bellamy is going to want to have a big game. No way he's rolling over for draft picks.
