It's Game Night, baby!!!
Hopefully Orton can take advantage tonight.

Get it done, Bears!
I’ll be away from the game threads tonight (last grad class of the semester, so I’ll be out celebrating), but I’ll be able to watch the Bears.
Let’s hope Santa brings us:
1) No FB dives
2) We don’t get beat on slants
3) We don’t rush 54 and 55 up the middle
4) Hester not fumbling the ball (or running anywhere but north)
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
BREES
Let’s hope the cold “BREES” coming off the lake gets Brees to throw us a couple of int’s. GO BEARS!!
I've heard a lot of negativity about our D facing the #1 passing offense
But I think we should stay positive early. We have got the best of these guys lately and they do struggle against the cover 2 and we seem to get a lot of picks as well. History says we match up well, so I’m going to stay hopeful.
I also think that Grahm will make our passing defense better than when Vasher was in and Nick Roach/Daniel Manning (depending on if we are in the nickel) are playing better than Hillenmeier did in passing downs. So I think we are better than we were in the passing game. Hopefully the Tillman blown coverage was a once every 3 or 4 year mistake.
Kick it to me... I'm open!

NFLN (which I don’t have) is 154 on Dish Network.
Thats all I know.

Dunno
If you’re in Chicago the game will be on Ch 50 (it should be 50 on most services, its always been 50 for me anyway)… otherwise you’ll have to find the NFLN.

I believe WPWR probably bought the rights to play the game in the chicago area so the home team fans could watch their team

They just said that Manning was the first ever bear to return a kick off for a td in the opening kick off.
Didnt Hester do it in the opening kick off of the superbowl?

I left Moore in, but I also decided to go with the Bear defense

Brees is gonna be utilizing that slant all day...

What are some of your thoughts on the Bears team this year?
Are you impressed by anything?
What changes do we need to make?
Any surprise players good or bad?
Kick it to me... I'm open!
Asking a player on the team?
Shouldn’t he be worrying about Brees and the receivers right now? He’s got Shockey to cover too.

LOL, I was so lost.
I was thinking he should be getting his playcalling in quicker to Turner.
No, not Mike Brown, our very own Mike B.
I was wondering some of his thoughts on the year. Mostly because I don’t usually understand really what he thinks about the Bears. I’m trying to understand better.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
they're a .500 team
which might be better than i thought they would be, i think i picked .500 as their ceiling. almost all of that can be attributed to forte and orton
they’re bad in a lot of areas. when you watch the giants d they look a lot faster and better, and better coached. i think they need a lot of everything, wr, safety, new scheme, oline, would be nice to have a big fast freak of nature corner.
Our defense has lost some speed for sure, maybe two steps
Some of it is Urlacher. He made everyone look better for a long time, now he is just hoping to make himself look good.
Do you like how Payne and Brown have played and just want depth or do you think they aren’t cutting it?
Do you think we could really change schemes with this personnel and coach?
Who do you like on the line and what changes would you want to make their?
Kick it to me... I'm open!

Tonight I don't know, but he has obviously been in the dog house from the injury earlier and not coming back sooner.
I think he is the best receiver right now on the team even with that drop. Best teammate? That is another story.

It really is a Jekyll/Hyde thing
Which is pretty rare this season for any other team. Brees for one is just not even close to the MVP caliber player he is at home. However, it’s more of an extension of them never having a consistent running game.
