Man, taking care of business in the division, two of them away. Well done!
LOL, Zimm really is running Cook into the ground. He carried it how many times!?

I don't really know how Nagy keeps his job. Their offense was spoon fed good field position all night and they scored 6 points. They were only in the game because of a special teams score. How does an offensive coach keep his job when he consistently has terrible offenses? I guess one step closer to 7-9. We're still 2 wins back of the wildcard teams. I think we can get to 8-8 or maybe even 9-7 if Foles is out for the year after this one but will it be good enough?

30 carries again and he was taking hits. Too many.

Is our young defense coming around or is it the competition of late? It feels like Zimm has turned this unit around.

Tonight was very clearly the Bears just being a terrible offensive team, but you gotta take care of business against bad teams and we did. We have some favorable matchups coming up so hopefully they keep the momentum going.

Yeah I think that with so many rookies starting out and no preseason that hurt the early season. It's pretty amazing too with no Hunter or Barr. Still it's the Bears but they have been playing much better too. Good against GB and Det. Last 3 games have been solid.

A couple games ago it was mentioned that they have switched the defense to mostly a cover 2 type defense that they used to play a few years ago. The Bears offense isn't good but the Vikings are starting guys like Chris Jones and have no proven outside pass rushers. They may have found something in Hercules on the outside. He looks like he dropped sole weight and is quicker. I bet they are getting more out of Eric Wilson's abilities too. It also helps that Kendricks is back to playing out of his mind again after just being good early in the season.

For the young CB's it definitely helps to have help over the top. They haven't been getting torched, even the backups. So yeah the system is working good. Zimmer!!!!

Cool. So the Yannick trade may get even worse if some fans can pull off voting him into the Pro Bowl. Good trade Rick.
