It'd certainly be interesting to see if the Bears could pull it out. They honestly aren't that bad; injuries have hurt them more than anything.

If the Packers slow down and hit back to reality at the Bear's home, I can see something. Vikings are a joke now, I can see them become stagnant.

This appears like the more likely scenario that could occur, but I notice also the Rams are dependent on beating the Cardinals, which isn't too unlikely with their H.C. change, but still questionable.

*EDIT: take that back. Seahawks just have to spank them (you forgot to add them) the prior week and it doesn't matter.

What really matters is the Bears winning against the Packers and Redskins. The Skins will be the longest shot in all honesty, but if that occurs, then really it doesn't matter if they win or not in week 17.

If you look at it that way it certainly seems possible, not likely of course.  I have based everything on the ESPN machine but that makes it look possible, assuming of course we won out.

ESPN Machine has something buggy. I don't think they really calculate conference records well. We have the better record than our NFC South counterparts honestly, so I think the NYT calculator is more accurate.

3 fuging plays: the difference between 5-8 and 8-5.  Gano missing the FG in Denver, not setting up for a FG by running on 3 down against KC when we were up 17-3; and not going on 4 down in Oakland.  Do all of that and we are probably the 4 seed going into the playoffs.  (Guess you can add the Anderson interception against Tampa and we are 9-4) 

Hopefully we refocus, make some upgrades and come back ready to go next year.  I would still love to win out, I think it would be a boost going into next year.
