Bears to avenge last years loss. Lets go get them

by angryandy on Oct 16, 2009 8:09 AM CDT Comment 38 comments

The Chicago bears failed to make the playoffs last season despite a winning record. They would of finished 10-6 last year had they not blown a late fourth quarter lead against the Atlanta falcons. The Bears get to travel to Atlanta again to play this team almost a year to the date of the meltdown game. They were embarrassed last year by a rookie burning them in the late seconds of an important early season game. I really expect and hope the Chicago bears to avenge that disastrous game against the Falcons. The Chicago Bears defense needs to dramatically make up for that game by bringing the heat to Matt Ryan. He needs to pay for what he did to the bears last season. The secondary really needs to step it up as they made this Matt Ryan look like John Elway. I don't know where the coverage was late in the game last year, but I do know it better be there this Sunday night. Matt Ryan is no longer a naive rookie and if the Chicago bears are not careful they will be lite up like the San Francisco 49 ers were last week. The Atlanta Falcons look like they are going to be another tough opponent. The game last year ruined the playoff possibilities for the Chicago Bears. The Bears will have got off to a great start this season with a victory and I am sure they will not take Atlanta lightly this time. in fact, they have all the incentives for a big game. This is a victory they need for the city,the fans, and their coach. I am sure all week Lovie Smith has not got anyone on the team to forget about that debacle last year in Atlanta. Now they just have to go out there and destroy Matt Ryan and the Falcons. That is lot easier to say than to do.

I've never agreed with angryandy before...

…but I can’t find even a single sentence in this post that I disagree with.

That loss last season was heartbreaking, especially after the Bears rallied and Kyle Orton made one of the best passes for a TD, near the end, that I’ve ever seen by a Bears’ QB.

Bears by a touchdown

Instead of Orton bringing us back in the 4th quarter, it’ll be Jay, of course. And this time the special teams and defense will hold up.

I want to lead. I want to smack some reality into Matt “Gave myself a nickname” Ryan.

I have to admit that I am a bit surprised that

the spread is not more than 3 points. Which means they are calling this even without the homefield advantage. Hmmm..Vegas always knows more than us and they are calling this a pretty tight game…

Roachy love the run stuffin', but don't forget about the TE over the middle!!

Pressure Pressure Pressure

It all comes down to whether or not that D line can make it extremely uncomfortable for Matty Ice. If he’s kicking it like he’s at a Spa back there, then we’re going to get destroyed. I think we’ll get the pressure we need along with a close come from behind win.

31-27 CHI win.

a win at atlanta will be a measure in how well (considering the injuries on defense) the bearsare as a team

Falcons

Atlanta will be the toughest challenge the Bears have yet had this season. They are a good team and beating them will make a believer of me and many others. I agree with stepeo on it being a measure.

Just got through checking ESPN picks...

Marked me down as pissed too!! I’m not usually one of these guys that gets bent out of shape when it comes to media perceptions. I’m usually a realistic type of fan but you know what? For this week…Hell with it, I’m a meathead!

Every and I mean EVERY expert is picking the falcons to win this game. Even most of the media here is picking the Falcons to win. They act like we’re the Lions or something. Screw the Falcons and Matt Ryan. I hope this week the Bears handle business and Cutler starts his Pro Bowl/MVP bid this week. Bears 27 falcons 3…I hope.

Why would they not pick Atlanta?

Because we are the better

“team”

when one side lacks, the other picks up the slack, all 3 phases contribute week in and week out. ATL has a scary offense, their STS is nothing to write home about, and their Defense is IMO mediocre. i know Abraham, i can’t even name anyone on their secondary though.

so the bears

defense is mediocre at the moment, the special teams are good and the offense is less than scary, or at least not as scary as the falcons.

so they picked the home team in an nfl game. not offensive.

by mike b on Oct 16, 2009 3:41 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

The point is, they are very beatable

i didnt say it was offensive, just stating that they aren’t the 07 patriots

Yeah but everyone??

I think Atlanta is good but I didn’t know we were playing the ‘89 49ers. The Bears have maybe the best special teams in football and are putting up 26 pts a game. For a consensus of experts to pick one team… That’s including NFL network and everyone locally. I just think for a 3 pt spread, that’s pretty rough

by Dils on Oct 16, 2009 7:33 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

i posted elsewhere

but NFL insiders, Warren Sapps got the Bears back this week

I'm pretty sure they all picked the Steelers to win

didn’t they?

In a way Matt Ryan breaking our hearts last year kind of paved they way for us getting Cutler.

Had we won that game we would have more than likely made the playoffs thus never trading for Cutler, so in sick way Im kind of happy the way things transpired last year. But trust me I was NOT happy whatsoever after that game in fact I almost killed this guy who was messing with me the whole game at the bar. But as they say hindsight is 20/20.

I'm a little

nervous about this one.I don’t think we’ve seen the “real” Bears yet.The comeback wins were great but we had some breaks going for us.I think it will be an uncomfortably tight game.

We shall see.

even though

the bears seem to not play as well in night games, i expect they will play very well sunday night. the falcons did improve on o though but i’m looking forward to (hopefully) a real pass rush against them this time.

This Is Going To Be A Tough One.

I dread my I Predict coluum this week. We are so depleated at Linebacker I’m afraid we are going to turn,(Turner), and Burn. They have so many weapons on Offense, including Gonzalez who was not part of the team last Year. This game will be a shootout and I hope the Bears outscore them. I would lay a bundle on the over of let’s say 47.

Looking back...

The under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings, and 4-0 the last 4 games in ATL. Falcs are 8-3 against the spread in their last 11 home games. Bears are 0-4-1 in the last 5 games as a road underdog, but 4-1 against the spread in the overall last 5 games.

It'll be refreshing

compared to the 88 different “why didn’t we pursue XX WR for every draft pick we’ll ever have” debates… and I’m very curious as to what a “coluum” is.

What Is A Coluum?

A coluum is a pre-draft of a column. Once the pre-draft is complete it becomes a column. Let me know if you need anymore unique insights. Thank you.

My guess for a "coluum' would have been...
