I don't know. Packers could use an upset win but Bears really suck this season...and they'll suck even more with Clausen. Ergo, easy Lions win. In fact, in the long run, it sucks that Bears are realizing that Cutlers is not a winner and in reality a douchebag.

Not to worry.
No way the Green Bay Packers back into a playoff slot.
The Packers will handle Tampa Bay this week.
The Detroit LIONS would have (with Cutler @ QB) and still will defeat the Chicago Bears this week no matter who the Bears use @ QB. The Lions are a seriously good team. The Bears are a very bad team.
The Detriot Lions will be a formidable foe @ Lambeau in Week 17. The Lions don't win @ Lambeau Field.
The Packers will win out and grab the NO. 2 Seed.
It's all very simple.

I doubt Clausen can be any worse than Cutler has been this season.
Ditto. Don't forget, if this is trap game week for the Packers, it's more so for the Lions. They killed the Bears in Detroit so they may be looking beyond the Bears.
Let's hope the Bears' players feel they've got something to prove.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

This move might be more to motivate the other players on the roster = "If they can bench Jay am I next?"
I think it's all about Jay Cutlers lousy play and attitude.
How that affects everything else....and possibly winning based in a solid game plan.
Jay Cutler simply isn't a TEAM PLAYER.
This goes back to last season and the decision to replace Josh McCown with a returning Jay Cutler (from injury) when Josh McCown had the Bears really rolling.
With Josh McCown behind Center you could see a positively different and confident team. The Bears offense was seriously hot.

It's entirely possible something unexpected happens in Chicago this week-end.
The Bears have Forte, who has had a top 5 RB type of season with almost 1700 yards from scrimmage and 9 TDs. If Clausen comes in and is a game manager, Forte has a good game and the D shows up, they could be a tough opponent. Add in the Lions history of late season collapse, well, there is hope for the Bears to help the Pack out here!

Man... the Vikings sure messed up a great opportunity to help out.

I cannot imagine a scenario where Jimmy Clausen gives the Bears a better chance to win than Cutler does. Cutler is having a bad year, but he's still a top 10-12 QB. Way better than most of what the league has to put up with.
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
Actually, no there isn't. The games this week have no bearing on the division. The winner of the Detroit - GB game will win the NFC North. The games this week do matter for seeding and possible wild card births. But there is no way for the Bears to actually help the Packers out (excluding injury), unless they find some sort of Detroit weakness and put it out there on film.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
I don't understand - you actually believe, with your exhaustive research, that the Bears have a better chance to win with Clausen in lieu of Cutler, in spite of the Chicago turmoil?
I'm in the Pro Pickem. I didn't see the Bears winning with Jay Cutler nor do I see Chicago defeating the Lions this week with any other QB on their roster.
Benching Jay Cutler is a positive move for obvious reasons.
First - The team isn't winning with Jay Cutler. Moving on now without Jay Cutler will help answer important questions. I'm discounting any games here to shake up Cutler. That man is a loser.
Looking at another starting QB. How did that team look last season with Josh McCown behind Center?
Anything concerning any change at QB in Chicago can't be much worse at this point in the schedule.
Have you been watching any Bear games? Following the Bears at all? That team is in an ugly mess. I'd hate to be a Bears fan. Watching their pain on MNF wasn't pretty. Jay Cutler stunk out the joint. The GM and HC and his staff; many players and the Bear fans are sick of Jay Cutler.
I pay attention for various reasons. Specificlly I'm interested in things Chicago Bears and especially in the rumors surrounding their HC. The Bear offense is nowhere with Jay Cutler 'the TO machine'. Cutler doesn't even do a decent job of protecting the ball. I watch him and know he'll toss a silly pick.
That team had/has real potential with any QB that can follow a plan. That can exercise discipline. Jay Cutler is for some reason on his own planet. He's not in sync with his HC, OC and fellow players. That's all right in your face if your paying any attention to the Chicago Bears.
Yes there is obvious turmoil in Chicago and benching Jay Cutler is a step in the right direction.

Wow, didn't see this coming.
Can they really have lost faith in him to that extent? Seems pretty incredible.
