....where we're so damn close to Sunday.

670 The Score

The Bears are back to business.

ChicagoBears.com

The Bears partnered with the Blackhawks for some TV ads.

The offense is pointed in the right direction.

Chicago Sun-Times

Israel Idonije returned to practice Thursday.

Adewale Ogunleye is appealing his fine as Matthew Stafford will likely miss a 2nd game.

The Bears offense is waiting for Jay Cutler and Greg Olsen to click.

Rod Marinelli is facing the toughest test versus the Falcons.

Don't bet on the Bears dealing for TO.

Chicago Tribune

The Bears CB's can limit the Falcon's receivers.

The All Ex-Bear offense by David Haugh. A heads up: It's bad.

The Bears fans should be happy with the players they have.

Daily Herald

Lance Louis faces assault charges.

The Bears probably won't acquire TO. Duh.

NIU alums Wolfe and Turner will meet again this weekend.

ESPN Chicago

Matty Ice is focusing on this year, not the past.

Garrett Wolfe is ready to get some more touches against Atlanta.

Adrian Peterson's brother, Michael, is a LB for the Falcons.

Jay Cutler wasn't too enthused about answering questions on TO.

Moral of this story: John Abraham is a beast.

Matty Ice has only been sacked twice this season, so harassing him is the D's goal this week.

Nnamdi Asomuhga???

Can we try to trade 4 him. They suck, he’s good, and we need secondary help. Would he fit our scheme?

Not gonna happen.

Between his contract, his value to the defense over there, and the secondary-loving owner in charge, he’s staying.

By the way, the Bears’ defensive line vs. the Falcons’ offensive line is the key matchup. If they give Matt Ryan too much time to throw, he’ll pick apart the Bears’ porous secondary.

Asomugha fits every scheme there is.

Our front-four vs. their o-line is the key

Atlanta’s only given up 2 sacks in 4 games. It’ll be a very interesting match-up. Ryan is like Aaron Rodgers – pressure him and he’s only an average QB – but give him time to throw and he’ll destroy you.

Secondary

It’s definitely in a better shape than last season when playing the Falcons. Didn’t the Bears trot out McBride and Marshall? I think we’re going to be fine as long as we limit the damage across the middle. Roach should improve covering the middle of the field after having two weeks to review film. Tillman does very well against big physical receivers, so White shouldn’t completely go off against us.

We tried

McBride for a while, Tillman was injured, so Hamilton was out there as well, and he blew the coverage for us in the end, Mike Brown was playing though

they had it on the best 4th quarters thing on NFL network last night

I was furious!

I had NFLN on my bedroom TV unknowingly, and was very annoyed that they were playing it.

I meant Hamilton, not Marshall (not sure where that name came from). In other words, I think the Bears defense plays better than last year cause of a healthy Tillman/Bowman and an improved D. Manning.

I watched up until they slow the game down

i noticed that we held their “prolific” offense to field goals all game though

probably thinking of the all time Bears D fanpost… and dreaming about Wilbur.

i agree, last year our D was even worse, so with our DBs gelling a little better and our line generating pressure, we expose ATLs weaknesses this weekend
