Bears-Less Sunday: NFL Week 14 Pre-Party Open Thread

Editor's note: SBN and WCG readers have been winning money every single week from FanDuel-- click HERE to get your lineup set for today's games.

A Detroit Lions win over the Buccaneers or a Seattle Seahawks victory over the Eagles are all that stand between the Bears and the formality of their season ending. Either of those wins put the victor at nine wins, the fifth team (let's ignore the NFC South) to reach that number, and more than enough to stamp out the maximum number of wins the Bears can achieve.

Leaving aside the sour note of a potential Lions win wiping out the Bears season, our thoughts lately have turned to the Bears' future here.

Spongie put together another outstanding edition of the Weekend Bears Den, sifting through the non-WCG works so you really don't have to.

Adam Schefter reported Brandon Marshall could be out for the rest of the season. I took a look at some potential silver linings for the remainder of the year.

In the wake of that game on Thursday, we have some post-game reports. Namely, Les' "Number Crunchin'" and Sam's "Everything is Bad."

If you're looking for a pre-week stream this week, there will not be one this week, as a family birthday takes precedence today. We'll return next Sunday morning, when we have the third consecutive week of Bearslessness on Sunday.

As is, this is your thread for discussing today's NFL action. I know which games you guys will be watching, I think.
