I think the wheels are falling off.

Bears 31

Cowboys 17

Even if that happens, you will hear the same kind of things from the decision maker. Disappointed. Man in the mirror. Woodshed. And no real tangible progress.

Likely.

But if the wheels do fall off, no amount of spin will cover for it and huge, sweeping changes will have to be made.

This season is at a tipping point and these coaches need to find some answers. If they don't, I'm not sure any of them will be back in 2015.

I'm thinking this beat down has left our Cowboys ,which are a lot better than what they played like on Thursday, hungry to redeem themselves against a struggling Bears team, of course never undestimating them as well. But I feel we perform a lot better in this game, play Cowboys football and take it out on the Bears by at least a 14pt margin,
This is what we desperately need right now after a loss like this, to come back strong,so they gain there confidence and poise back to face our Division rivals again the following week.

31-17 cowboys.

I have zero confidence in our pass rush or defense as a whole. I see forte and their 2 recievers torching us. Hopefully our offense can keep up. After starting out the season strong, our defense has definitely faded in recent games, they've been pretty bad against the Giants and obviously the Eagles. I don't see how we can stop Cutler, other than him just throwing dumb picks, but even rookies don't do that against this defense

Cutler is fully capable of stopping himself. The Cowboys need to work some sort of miracle to get in his face and let him do the work for us. Easier said than done, I know.

People said the same thing about Sanchez, "he'll beat himself", "it's only mark Sanchez! ". Well that didn't work out. I agree with you, if we can somehow manufacture some pressure against the Bears (and not just in the 1st quarter) then we'll win, I just don't think we can do that.

They have beaten us the last three times by an average of almost two TD's. I will take the law of averages and predict the Bears win 35-22.

If that is the case, then there should not be a fan out there talking about how this team has "progressed".

That is a bad football team, regardless of what has happening in recent matchups with Dallas.

The only progression this team has made is the discipline to stay with the running game. It doesn't matter who you play when you cannot pressure the QB. Our secondary is rarely close enough to the receivers to contest a pass. This is the same old story as last year. The defense has not progressed. People want to blame the offense, which played poorly last week, but the offense needs to click on all cylinders for 17 weeks for this team to win. One off week by the offense and we see what happens.

Less than 24hours, I hope our boys are well coached and ready to go, we desperately need this win to save our season, just can't see us beating Philly if we lose tomorrow.
I'm still picking the Cowboys win 24-10...we shut down Cutler and get pressure on him and Forte is a non factor in this game...Go Cowboys!

Cowboys 34
Bears 24

Romo 2 TD passes (to Dez and Witten)
Murray runs one in
Dunbar runs one in

We get a pick and a fumble recovery to offset the 300 yard passing game by Cutler.

Not sure what to think, all I can say I wouldn't be surprised either way.
Then, there's another side of me that says, this is a different team, we won't crumble in December like we usually do, we should win but then I remember the last 3 years and think, here we go again. frankly, it sucks.

I see Cutler and Forte having huge days. We just don't get enough pressure on the Qb to force Cutler to make a mistake. I think our offense will try to keep it close but our defense will struggle and we lose 34-24.

Brandon Carr will get torched in this game.

Why are you even on here? Way to pull for your team.

I think we see a big game from Dez. But our D is really bad. I think we lose a close one, 34-31.

I'm more nervous for this game than any other so far this season. This game will make or break our season . If we win I think we make the playoffs . If we lose I won't put in much hope for the remaining season .
