Does anyone think the Bears could end up with the #2 Seed (Of course the Rams will keep the #1 Seed!) the NFC? The Saints have a pretty tough remaining schedule so even though I think the chance is very minimal I do think it could happen. Would you rather play the Bears or the Saints?

Bears.
But, that means they would be playing us in the NFC Title game which is the only time the 1 and 2 seeds would play.
Dallas is playing very well now was well.

Yes, it's possible.

Dallas really showed not only a recipe for beating the Saints, but also our Rams.

The difference is that our weapon set is more diverse than the Saints. If the Saints were more diverse, it's unlikely Michael Thomas would be having the season he's having.

The funny part is that when the Rams beat the Bears in Chicago, it won't be because the Rams killed a good defense...They will say "Turns out the Bears defense isn't as good as the Cowboys'"

Only if they beat the Rams...so no.
In a normal situation, I think the Rams rough the Bears up pretty well, but if that storm in the forecast ends up burying the field in snow, I think anything could happen.

Its possible but with the Rams, Vikings and Packers left on their schedule I wouldn't think so. They basically cannot afford another loss the rest of the way if they want to finish ahead of Rams or Saints.

Bears could still get the #2 seed if NO loses to both @Carolina and the Steelers at home.

This is where the Saints lack. Michael Thomas is rank as the #3 receiver in the NFL. Their #2 and #3 receiver are not ranked in the top #50. http://www.nfl.com/stats/categoryst...3-s=RECEIVING_YARDS&d-447263-o=2&d-447263-n=1

To be fair, their #2 and #3 receivers were their #2 and #3 receivers when the season started. We lost Ginn (who was our our #2 wide receiver), and Kamara is actually our #2 receiver, followed by whatever tight end is out there. TQS has stepped up over the last few weeks, so if your numbers were trending (as opposed to just over the entire course of the season) he would come up as a top 50 wide receiver.

after the way other fans bad mouthed goff and really had no idea what they were talking about i'm reticent to give judgement on trubiscky. the bears offense looked real gimmicky in the first part of the season and trubiscky didn't really look good at all. but lately some of his passes have been great throws. will be very interesting watching the rams play the bears and see where he's at right now. talib being back changes everything for the rams d.

Rams need to play solid D and not get flustered if the Bears D starts strong...Patience could be a virtue...I'm not so sure that Talib alone is a big game-changer this week, unless his mere presence has a positive domino effect on everybody else in the secondary

Our D will get Better Talib, along with getting healthier across the board will help. Don't think for a second that son of bum isn't throwing in new wrinkles to help the D adjust and succeed.
