I hope you didn't take my post as suggesting that I think they will run the table, my intent was just to show that if they did they actually are in good shape to win the division, all things considered. If they do, MN is out of the picture. If they do, Detroit only has to lose one other game for GB to win the division. They don't need a lot of help, they control their own destiny, needing only one other team to beat Detroit.Originally Posted by hoosier
I didn't think you were suggesting they would run the table, and I wasn't reacting only to your post. What I was hearing from several posters in this thread was some renewed optimism following the Eagles game. Nobody, except maybe for the quarterback, was talking about running the table after the Redskins gaem. Fine, I get that and I share the optimism to an extent--it's much easier to see the bright side of a team when they play a relatively complete game. But I also have a hard time believing that the problems that became apparent in November are now in the past. I hope they run the table but I think it is highly unlikely.

Back to the original discussion of the Bears, Cutler is done for the year, having been placed on IR.
The question now becomes where will he end up next season, as there's no way Chicago keeps him under his current contract.
I wonder if Cleveland will make a run at him.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
He's going back to Denver. They are a QB away from the Super Bowl.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

If he went there, they still would be.He's going back to Denver. They are a QB away from the Super Bowl.

Elway's not stupid.He's going back to Denver. They are a QB away from the Super Bowl.
Romo to Denver.
Garrapolo to Chicago.
Cutler to Cleveland (only team dumb enough to make the move).
Interesting development today, the Chicago Tribune, in an article on the Bears injury report, stated that the Bears have not put Cutler on IR. He is still listed on the Bears' roster. NFL website does not list Cutler on their transaction list as of today, but CBS Sports still does.

Is this the final year of his contract with Chicago? If so I wonder where he'll end up next...
Romo? Elway would be stupid there. Poor Tony can't take another hit.
That was the general consensus a couple of years ago regarding Peyton Manning. All he did was win a Superbowl.
All he was was the anchor that stopped the team from a shot at a perfect season.

Brad Biggs said despite bak of IR, there was also talk of him still returning sooner rather than later. Not sure what this means, though obviously someone wants us to believe he could rehab his way back to the field.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Pugger you may well be very correct. We are aware of Tony Romo`s humility now giving sway to new sensation Dak Prescott.
Is the humilty or simply an admission of ìt`s time to retire. He has had a remarkable career in terms of his personal contributions.

It would make some sense not to put him on IR, to downplay the significance of the injury if they are, in fact, wanting to trade him in the off season.
The odd thing is that news services reported that he was put on IR. I think most get their transactions info directly from the NFL. I would be curious to know how the mistake originated, since as of a while ago CBS Sports still lists it on their transactions list.
I don't think that's controlling one's own destiny b/c when you need another team's help, fate's out of your hand regardless of what you do.
2010, the Packers didn't control their destiny til D-Jax took that improbable punt to the house to beat the Giants. Thompson REALLY do need to FedEx D-Jax a Super Bowl 45 ring.
I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
I wrote they don't need a lot of help, I didn't say they don't need any help. I stated in several posts that they need the lions to lose one other game. Obviously, GB does not control that game result. However, I fully expect the lions to lose one other game, so that caused to to omit "mostly" in stating they control their own fate. I think my intent was clear to everyone, except perhaps you.
What does 2010 have to do with this year, or to this discussion?
But still won a super bowl.
