Stat Comparison http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/201112180 ... ab=analyze


Injury Report

SEAHAWKS: QUESTIONABLE: T Jarriel King (hamstring). PROBABLE: WR Doug Baldwin (ankle), DE Raheem Brock (calf), CB Kennard Cox (hamstring), G Robert Gallery (hip), LB David Hawthorne (knee), LB Leroy Hill (neck), QB Tarvaris Jackson (pectoral), CB Richard Sherman (knee).

Stat of the Week

The Bears rank 10th in rushing yards allowed per game, but allow 4.4 yards per carry, more than all but 10 teams in the league.

The Last Time they Played
http://m.youtube.com/index?client=mv-go ... Dz-GB9AggQ
January 2011 -- Lovie Smith called his quarterback "undefeated in the playoffs for his career," which drew a few laughs considering that Jay Cutler is now 1-0.

At the same time, it can't be overstated how important Sunday's victory was for Cutler, who was doing double-duty intercepting passes at safety for Heritage Hills (Ind.) High the last time he played a postseason football game.

The operative word for Cutler after he led the Bears to a 35-24 victory Sunday over Seattle to vault them into the NFC Championship Game and a step away from the Super Bowl was "fun." But of course. http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/columns/story?columnist=isaacson_melissa&id=6028430

Boy, what to say. Injuries have killed the season and exposed a poor roster building strategy. Sitting at home with $18m in hand and Bob Avalini as your starting QB.

Two weeks ago we lose to a Hail Mary. Last week a 58 yard field goal. What possibly could be worse?

Bears take their last breath.

Yea, I know it's depressing being a Bears fan right now. Just look on the bright side, though. We could always ask Sam Hurd to hook us up with a few PICK-ME-UPS :wink: :nod: :meditate: .

Should have won the last two games despite god awful offense. Win out or we're done at this point. With Hanie leading the reigns we're bottom 5 offense in the league. I expect similar awful offense this week.

I admit it - I picked Seattle in my office pool.

Not sure how you can pick any team with Hanie as the QB.

Who knows what this team will be like now that their coke supply's been shut down.

Good point. When you're high, you sometimes make bad decisions. Maybe now they'll draft better (Angelo), change their prevent defense (Lovie), and call a better offensive game (Martz) :lol: .

Gawd - the Tebow hype on the pre-game shows is just nauseating.

I really think the preamp is geared to soft rather than hard core fans. All the human interest crap. I don't know one hard core fan that enjoys the national media coverage.

Was talking about ESPN, actually - which I consider more in-depth. I couldn't take it.

Would getting Enderle same regular season time be such a bad thing? Rookie QBs are starting all over the league.

BTW, speaking of ESPN's pre-game coverage....every one of their analysts picked the Bears in this game.

Every one of them.

Okoye is more than capable to step in for Melton. I'd like to see them play together next year.

Caleb is going to have to throw to someone ther than Knox now. That can only help if he can't zone in on one guy.

There's always that guy that's making starting WR money.
