Bears Going "All In" for the Draft

https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/vikings/bears-to-hold-out-justin-fields-in-season-finale-against-vikingsIt'll be Nathan Peterman, not Justin Fields, under center for the
Chicago Bears in Sunday's regular season finale against the Minnesota
Vikings. 
Field sustained a hip injury in this past Sunday's game
against the Lions. Head coach Matt Eberflus confirmed Wednesday that
Fields didn't suffer a long-term injury but Peterman will start at
Soldier Field against Minnesota. 

The
three-win Bears appear be destined to go out with another loss, which
would guarantee them no worse than the No. 2 pick in the upcoming NFL
draft. If the Bears lose and the Texans beat the Colts, the Bears will
have the No. 1 pick. 
If the Bears beat the Vikings, they could wind up tied with the Cardinals and Broncos for the second worst record in the NFL.

I mean there is no reason to risk Fields at this point. He already had a visit to the medical tent, he doesn't need another one

If I were Nathan, I'd fly his family in for this one. Could be his best game as a pro.

So a stat line like Peterman - 406 yards, 3 TD, 0 Int.

Watching that game I remember thinking the Lions were putting some damn hard hits on him and wondering when Eberflus was going to pull him.  Unreal they let him keep playing.

You can't underestimate what the D is capable of, hope they don't exceed my expectations. 

Last year I was wondering what it would have been like to win all those one score games.  I guess this year I am finding out.

I think last year's team was better. If we had somehow snuck into the playoffs, I would've had more confidence in that team winning a game or two than I do in this year's team.
