We saw what we are capable of when we played the Chiefs and then the Broncos. We used to hear about how our D was always moving. It no longer is.
My thoughts...
This game win or lose means nothing. The coaches are holding back because all we want is the divisional win. If we have a shot to get home field then we will take it. At this moment that is not being threatened.
All year everyone has said that we have to win in the playoffs for us to become relevant. Why tip our hand early? These teams don't need more tape of what works.

I'm sick of seeing a fullback or halfback split out wide then motion into the backfield. Everytime I see it im getting ready for a 2nd and 12

I agree with everything you said expect for the part about HFA not being threatened. The Bears are right there with the Falcons.

Our remaining schedule should allow up to 2 more losses before we should worry.
There are really only 2 teams worth worrying about for HFA.

I think the Bears only have 2 games after tonight they could possibly lose. Next week at the Niners and when they play the Packers again.
And the Bucs worry me. They have played so much better than I expected this season.

If the Bears lose Jay Cutler for any extended period of time after his concussion tonight, I don't think we'll need to worry about them. Their defense will need to start scoring a hell of a lot more points because I don't see Jason Campbell leading that team to the promise land anytime soon!

Quoted for truth. I've said all along that our fast start meant that we started holding back, and this is not what we will see come January.

I still can't believe the Rams couldn't put the fucking Niners away.
The Bears looked anemic last night. Despite the weather they could not move the ball. The Lions held them in check a few weeks ago. Now with Cutler on the sidelines. I think they are about to fade. With that said the Packers are now the team to watch in that division. They will sweep the Bears and take control.
The Giants played like crap and could lose the division and possibly the playoffs with a couple of more performances like that.
This could get interesting down the stretch and all those teams fighting beneath us could clinch the #1 seed early.

I think we will only lose one more game, and that would be to Bucs.

Giants have been playing like crap for weeks now. Eli Manning has gone 3 games without throwing a touchdown. Giants should have lost to the Cowboys and Redskins.
