8U on da Bear? Jay Cutler is still Trestman's quarterback....
Another reason for the Eagles to dog it tonight is that there's an outside shot Bears-Eagles meet in the NFC Championship game (UNLIKELY, but still). Bears haven't played against Chip Kelly's offense ever and so Kelly tonight has little reason to go all-in with his new-fangled offensive playbook against the Bears D.
Course, Jay is still Jay and if you think Bears fans are doom-n-gloom, check out this Philly.com article on various Eagles playoff scenarios:

[The Cowboys lose to the Redskins, should Kelly play his starters all game?]
Kelly should play his starters because if he doesn't, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and NBC Sports chairman Mark Lazarus will make sure Jeffrey Lurie gets a lousy table at Victoria and Albert's in Orlando during next year's owners meetings, and at halftime Bob Costas will deliver a six-minute monologue on how we could restore integrity to sports if we just cracked down on performance-enhancing drugs and did away with the designated hitter and passed more gun-control laws, and no one wants that.

Scenario 4: The Cowboys lose to the Redskins, and the Eagles beat the Bears.
What would happen in this scenario? Exactly what you think would happen. Sports radio would demand Kelly be elected mayor, and Rendell would call Dick Butkus a wuss. The Christmas lights at Macy's would shine brighter. The eggnog would taste sweeter. And two weeks later, Drew Brees would throw half a dozen touchdown passes at Lincoln Financial Field, and college basketball season would officially begin.
