JayZ pic master fo realz!But no, not sure I've said it a ton here or not, but I've been saying in person all season, if the O-Line gives Cutler time, he's good! He gets so much criticism for the bad games, but even Peyton showed you this season, bad O-Line = Bad QB.Not sure what happened to the D today though.

Money is incredible. Where would Jay Z be more out of place than in that picture? A Klan rally?

That was always the biggest criticism of Martz, right? He was more interested in the pass patterns and how to create space and match-ups than protecting the QB. It seems (via the talking heads as I haven't actually been watching their games for the most part) that Martz has been keeping an extra guy back to help out on blocking.ESPN's Playoff Machine!Next week's game is huge. Could be the difference between the 2nd seed and having the bye versus 3rd seed and opening against the Packers (assuming Philly beats Minnesota on Tuesday and then turns around and beats Dallas, which certainly isn't a lock with such a short week).

Martz definitely got a beat down during the bye week.I actually just heard a report today about what happened. They got to the bye week and did some self scouting and decided that trying to install the 'Martz offense' in one season was just too big of a task. Apparently it's still the plan in the future though. Not like people weren't saying that for a few weeks before that, but at least they realized and got it done. I wish Lovie and the staff would have done stuff like this all the years when they didn't have their heads on the block. Amazing what a good coach you can look like when you stop being so stubborn.They're definitely using extra blockers, but even on top of that, the continuity seems to be helping as much as the coaches claimed it would.

Would you rather play Philly or New Orleans? I'm pretty sure those are the only two possibilities based on having the 2 seed.edit: since Chicago beat Philly and New Orleans is peaking I guess this is a question with an obvious answer. Better root hard for Philly to beat GB/NYG.

is this a lock? or is there some mathematical scenario where they could lose this bye?

Here is the ideal scenario: Bears beat the Packers to keep them out of the playoffs, Giants beat Philly, Seattle beats New Orleans. That results in Chicago getting Seattle. Then the Giants beat Atlanta, so Chicago gets home game against 6 seed for the conference championship.Can I get some kind of odds on all this happening? Parlay!

I think St. Louis is better than Seattle, which is why the Bears getting to play Seattle would fall under the ideal scenario.

I bet you can get pretty good odds just on Seattle or St. Louis beating the Saints.

I'm more excited about the bears " Knock green bay out of the playoffs" seed. That would make my year.

Enmity to the Packers aside, if Atlanta wins its 1pm game with Carolina (which it will) would you sit your starters knowing you are stuck no matter what at #2?
