This would be the first time since late 2013 that we've got to face a back-up QB (sadly we got burnt that year by Flynn and McCown). We were set to face a Saints team without Brees last year, but as always, everyone heals up quickly to play their personal Super Bowl with the Cowboys. Karma needs to start swinging back in our favor.
I sure hope so !!

I dont care how cold it was, our defense was awful that night, and the cold didnt seem to affect the Bears defense that night.

A defense that had used 18 different starters on the DL alone. A top college program would have done the same. That D was decimated with injuries all throughout that year. Of course they were going to be horrible.

I see your point, but we both know that this team makes things more difficult than it should be. We lost to a Colt McCoy led team 2 years ago, with romo.

Yes. They don't know how to do simplistic. I guess that Princeton degree didn't teach a few basics. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Or in this case, 6 points and a TD...LOL...

Dallas is catching the Bears at the right time. They gotta get this one. Look at all the injuries for their starters:

Jay Cutler (QB) - Possible broken thumb. Was seen with a cast on during after the game. Played with ligament damage against the Texans week 1.
Lamar Houston (OLB) - Significant knee injury per John Fox. Expectation is its a torn ACL
Eddie Goldman (NT) - The dreaded high ankle sprain. Was in a walking boot after the game.
Adrian Amos (FS) - Concussion, will have to pass protocol this week.
Bryce Callahan (CB) - Concussion, will have to pass protocol this week.
Parnell McPhee (OLB) - on PUP will not play.
Kyle Fuller (CB) - Had arthroscopic knee surgery during training camp. Not likely to play.

There is no excuse to lose this game. And I live in Chicago and have seen Brian Hoyer play this year (and during preseason). He's awful. He makes Cutler look like a legit NFL starter. He had a pass last night that he pretty much threw into the stands (unintentionally).
Add MLB Danny Trevathan who is out with a thumb injury

If I'm Cutler I'm playing against the Cowboys and throwing with my left hand. If Hoyer plays expect a QB controversy the next day.
