Any predictions for the Bears game, after this awful loss?

The Eagles loss really hasn't hurt my confidence but a Bears loss would..

The way the Cowboys lost to Philly did hurt my confidence in the team. There was no excuse to take a beat down like that at home to a division rival in front of a National audience in such an important game.

Yea Matt forte should have 200 yards . We seem to have terrible traction on their ugly field .

I have no confidence in Murray right now . He looks worn out , slow , and lackadaisical. Not the same player he was earlier in the season.

What? He just came off a 121 yard performance vs Nyg. If we didn't go to pass pass pass,ode he might have had 100 onThanksgiving again.

Hate to say it but I bet they have a hangover next week and lose. When a team is dominated as thoroughly as we were it can have a lasting affect. Don't get me wrong, I want them to win but I expect them to lose. In fact, I would not be surprised at all to see us slide to 8 - 8.

Dallas is 3-0 in games after they have lost by 20 plus points under Garrett.

Well, there is a reason if Philly is just that much better than we are. What would have been inexcusable would have been losing to the Giants--of course, we almost managed to do just that.

my prediction: lose to Chicago and the season is over (yes, I know mathematically they'd still be alive) .

4 straight years of missing the playoffs when in a good position to do so is a more than large enough sample size to evaluate the veterans and head coach of this team (no leadership, no heart, and poor preparation)

He hasn't looked the same to me . Should have had 170 vs NYG. He looks worn down , no burst .

Your parenthetical is hyperbolic, but I agree with your underlying sentiment. For years, fans have suggested Garrett deserves mulligan after Mulligan due to the fact that he's a young head coach dealing with the slew of injuries. Yet, here we are very close to losing the division for a second consecutive time to a second year head coach who has lost his starting quarterback in each of the past two years.

It's really going to depend on what Dallas Cowboy team shows up. The game can literally be a blow out, either way. That's what is troubling about this team, at least to me anyway.

Have you seen the way this team has played the last 4-5 games?

Not to mention it's December. They look identical to last years team at the moment.

I will give them the benefit of doubt, but if they lose this game the season is over.

26-23 Cowboys

Also depends on what Bears team shows up, hopefully it's the 7 loss team, I kinda like our chances with that team!

Yet again, we have seen this movie before and know how the ending has played out.

It's December, it's Chicago again in the cold and it's a pretty big game for us. I'd imagine that our offense rebounds and puts some points on the board but this defense won't stop Jay Cutler, Alshon Jeffrey, Brandon Marshall and Matt Forte.

I'll say Chicago 38 Dallas 24.

This game is more apt to be just like the Bear's game last year rather than a W for us. It could get ugly early and if it does I wouldn't be surprised in the least that we fold up like a cheap suit.

Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm just going with how this team has performed for the last three years at this time of the year. It's hard to go against that until they prove you wrong.
