You mean it could come down to coaching down the stretch? Or a Maher field goal? Damn. We're done. No confidence in either.

Could come down to all the above. The Bears have had their share of struggles and both teams need this game. It’s down to crunch time.

Here in Chicago, it's not that bad out. Rule of thumb on the lakefront that it's around 5 degrees cooler than what the actual forecast says. Either way, the conditions will be better than they were the back in 2013 - it was 8 degrees with a wind chill of -9. In 2014, conditions were about the same as they project for Thursday.

Hard to win close games when your kicker is pretty much guaranteed to miss one each game. Not to mention the offense always bogs down as soon as they get in field goal range.

We need to finish drives and not have to settle for kicks. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot with mistakes and penalties. A lot of teams have had problems with their kicker this season look around the league. We need to get better in the redzone and score TDs. We need to force some turnovers and protect the football.

It's not the catcher it's the pitcher who "no shows" against good defenses!

P.S. Unless he has 10 seconds to throw and we're playing the Giants.

Some Qb's dont need no stinkin gloves:lmao:

I'd bet my life savings if I were you. That's good money right there. You'd make quadruple the money back betting against the Cowboys.

This is an absolute must win game for the Bears and even that might not be enough. They're 2-0 in the last 2 and the fans will know the importance of this game.

When you’re dealing with less than ideal weather conditions you have to get the running game going. We have got to get Zeke on track. We’re putting too much on Dak.

They’ve had a lot of issues offensively but are coming off a win. They have a game wrecker at DE so we better be ready to play. We have got to get back on track the division is ours for the taking.

Only because he got blasted the week after the loss to NE. He’s a reactionary coach, not proactive like the greats. Tells you everything you need to know about this clown.

most reactionary coach in the league. Going for it on 4th and 1 from your own 19 in the second quarter so you can seem aggressive is the very definition of reactionary

Amari: 3 catches, 23 yds

When asked about it after the game, he'll stare blankly in the camera and give us a detailed description of the weather forecast and how that affected his game. The chumps in the DFW media will fawn over his intelligence. Meanwhile CZ will :banghead:

Throughout our 13 weeks, we have had 4 close games and haven't found out how to win them yet. If they haven't figured it out by now, they won't ever figure it out. Dallas will lose.


Last year we won all those, when your kicker is way below kicking % average, it's pretty easy to see instantly where to go for a jump. You are right though with this staff they will never figure it out to get where it matters.

get him on track, he was running all over NE, GB, and Buffalo the first half, they went away from him..Zeke isnt the issue its the play calling and blocking..

maybe not throw bonehead passes to the other team or throw up prayers etc is the issue not the weather..

BTW the NE game was more because it was wet is why the grip was poor.. so some cold and wind wont effect anything but the kicking game..

The run blocking has been terrible this season no question about that but Zeke hasn’t shown the burst or game breaking ability he did earlier in his career. Instead of trying to elude defenders he tries to run over them. He doesn’t appear as good in space as he was. We had to get away from him against Buffalo because we got behind. Our big plays are coming through the passing game. Our defense has been inconsistent and we’ve missed a lot of tackles.
