I like our chances. I won't quite call a win, as I worry about our dinged up defensive line being unable to pressure Cutler. He'd mincemeat us like Schaub did, though his receivers are surely less impressive. Benson needs to get back on track ASAP, and this game ought to provide maximum motivation.

That's just it. He has TE Greg Olsen and 3 guys who have never been in my kitchen. Leon Hall's biggest ??? will be who is the No. 1 he is supposed to shut down.

Olsen will get some yards given our troubles with the TE but control him and Forte and the Bengals cruise.

Too bad the Falcons have turned to crap so far tonight..

Our defense scares me a little bit though, with these guys injured not much depth, the CBs looking like crap today and missed tackles. Zimmer has to find a way to blitz and blitz hard. They didnt blitz Shaub enough today and they got no pressure and he sliced the bengals secondary. Lets hope they pick up some depth or a good starter, and hope they redeem themselves against DA BEARS!

Oh and the offense better soon start to get some kind of rythem otherwise this team could start to lose some games here soon. They really need to get something going, its getting real annoying.

Im ready for Bears week the game today sucked so im ready!

Like Rey says, "not dead, can't quit." We need Tank to step up. Roy Williams needs to wrap up that forearm and get into the game. I think the CBs will be OK versus Chicago. Either Frostee needs to suck it up or we need to find someone at DE. If we need DT...time to move Shirley back?

What happened to Simpson playing DT?

Well, we lost to Houston. That sucks. Fortunately, we have the over-rated Bears coming to town.

They will lose tonight to Atlanta.

And they will lose to the Bengals 27-13 next Sunday. :bengal:

Chicago is dreadful.

Give me a healthy RW and a focus on running Benson, and I will show you how to beat the Bears 27-10.

Told ya. Bears suck. They specialize in finding ways to lose. Meat on a stick next week :bengal:

The meat may be on the stick, but I'm just worried about the Bengals grilling skills. For all I know they'll try to go after it with foo-foo propane when they could do it up right and bring the heat with charcoal.

I'm much less optimistic than you guys! No one scares me on the Bears but if we play like we played today, we would've made JaMarcus Russell look like Peyton Manning! We put no pressure on Schaub all day and every play action he did completely fooled us and gave him even more time that he didn't need! I don't like Cutler and I don't think he's that good but if you give anyone that much time you will get torched everytime! Forte scares me b/c Slaton didn't scare me b/c I thought we had a good defense but apparently we don't!

I agree, not the Bears that scare me, its the Bengals that scare me. Im afraid with these injuries the defense will be going backwards. There was no pressure only way to get pressure is by blitzin but this team hardly does, and i dont get it. The blitzed against Baltimore, and had pressure, look at the denver game he blitzed and the defense had a great day. Then yesterday he dosnt blitz and Shaub goes for almost 500 yards.....Wow that is just horrible. I dont know what to expect anymore from them, but without a pass rush this secondary will get burnt. Way to many big plays!

Just watched the highlight from the CHI-ATL game again.

Chicago has weak WR group. Olsen and Forte are good football players but cannot do it alone. Cutler takes far too many risk, which we should feast upon. If we can shut down Forte running, Cutler will help us win. Seeing what our D-line can do without Odom and Peko will be watched very closely. I think Leon and JJoe could have very big games, making Cutler look foolish. I think Cutler is very overrated. He can zip the ball but is impatient and undisciplined. Too bad for him and Chicago.

The Chicago D has a bad secondary and is only so-so v the pass. Should be exlpoitable. They do stop the run well (6th in NFL v the run - 88YPG), so my hope is that they REBALANCE the offensive attack and give the ball to Benson, who will be running with something to prove against the team that kicked him to the curb. to open up lanes for Chad and Caldwell to gash.

Special teams is a concern, as Hester can break it for sure. I hope Huber can simply kick away from him, should the bengals have to punt often.

eh i was really more worried about the texans than i ever was about the bears. i dunno why but i just had a feeling the texans were going to outplay us, they are too explosive offensively. and they didnt make many mistakes. the bengals made a ton and still had a shot to pull it out. but i think the bengals beat the bears up, barring any superfluous amount of turnovers.

i think if we stop all the bs just all the metal mistakes. we can beat anyone, except maybe the colts manning is just wow! anyway watching the games, i don't feel like man these guys are that much better. we just hurt our self's way to much. we clean that up i think we will be fine.

i can't wait for this game. i think ced and tank are out to prove something this week. they may down play it during the week. you know they want to prove the bears made a mistake. especially ced, if the online can block for him. ced could have a huge game. on defense just attack the s**t out of them. i mean just bring it from everywhere and put cutler on his ass.
