Too freakin' early to get into all of this wild card scenarios bit, imo. Too many possibilities still.You know, it certainly seems like we would want the Bears to win and it is even hard to think about hoping that Sea wins - but I think with the Rams at 4 losses and 2 chances to play Seattle still coming - a Seattle win tonight probably increases the chances that the Rams make the playoffs.
Now its early, and of course anything can happen - but if SF doesn't fall apart, then we are likely looking at a wildcard and so our main competition is anyone else who might be in that wildcard fight - thats clearly the Bears.
The North and the West have the 6-7 best teams in the NFC - unfortunately, the league is going to toss a team from the South and the East into the playoffs anyway and some good teams are going to be left out.
Yes we HAVE those 2 games with Seattle as our safety blanket. Dont play the Bears. It appears like we don't own ANY relevant tie-breakers (as usual) Feels like the NFC teams we DONT play (the Bears) will beat us in Conference record.You know, it certainly seems like we would want the Bears to win and it is even hard to think about hoping that Sea wins - but I think with the Rams at 4 losses and 2 chances to play Seattle still coming - a Seattle win tonight probably increases the chances that the Rams make the playoffs.

Quick-hitting, quick-developing plays. They're done before the D can react.Impressive opening drive for Da Bears. Williams looking good.
