Here are my thoughts on the game from what I’ve read and what I saw on the Bears post game show.
After dominating the first half and winning 21-7 at halftime, the Bears offense stalled and couldn’t put up any points in the second half. In the meantime, the Bears defense, which dominated the majority of the game, allowed the Saints to move the ball and take a 24-21 lead with just over 7 minutes remaining.
Why can’t the Bears put a complete game together? That has been one of their biggest problems all year. The offense plays good for ½ or ¾ of the game but then there is another quarter where they move the ball 10 yards.
Or the defense plays well the first 80% of the game but then can’t stop a team in the last two minutes, proven in earlier losses to Tampa Bay and Carolina.
At 8-6 Bears are still sitting pretty. If they can win their last two games over Green Bay and Houston, I like the Bears chances of getting into the playoffs at 10-6.

2 more Bears wins should clinch them a playoff berth

Vikings looked pretty good in their win today but enter the rough portion of their remaining schedule...and those two games are at home.
Bears-Packers game is the big one. Both teams seem to be heading in opposite direction. Kind of ironic considering how things were looking the first time these two teams met with the Packers demolishing the Bears.
The Bears will probably return the favor to keep pressure on Minnesota.
