I Predict...........Week 6 Bears @ Atlanta

This will be a very interesting game. We can start out with the Offensive side of the ball.
A. Total Offense, (13th), 25.5 Points Per/Game
B. Passing Offense, (14th), 240 Yards/Game
C. Rushing Offense, (15th) 106 Yards/Game 6 TD
Summary: Lots of weapons on Offense. QB Matt Ryan, RB Michael 'The Burner 'Turner, TE Tony Gonzalez, WR Roddy White, WR Michael Jenkins. These guys are going to get theirs. This game plan should be to play the time of possession game and to keep them off the field as much as possible. This can be accomplished when we look at their run Defense later on in this post. Also keep in mind that they were coming off a bye last week when they defeated SF 49'ers 45 - 10. 45 points in a game had a lot to do with their high ranking coming into this week.
A. Total Offense, ( 22nd), 26.2 Points Per/Game
B. Passing Offense, (19th), 214 Yards/Game
C. Rushing Offense, (27th), 91 Yards/Game 3 TD
Summary: We also have weapons of mass destruction. QB Jay Cutler, RB Matt 'The Rat 'Forte, TE Greg Olsen, WR Devin Hester, WR Johnny Knox, Wr Earl Bennett. Against a weak Rush Defense like Atlanta's, look for Forte to have a big day again. Once we eastablish the Run Game early on in this game the floodgates will open wide for the Passing game late in the contest to seal the victory.
Now we can explore the Defensive side of the ball.
1. Atlanta Falcons
A. Total Defense, (20th).
B. Passing Defense, (22nd), 228 Yards/Game
C. Rushing Defense, (24th), 127 Yards/Game
Summary: The Rushing Defense is ranked 24th despite not having to play against Frank Gore last week. This is a very telling stat. In my opinion, if the Bears do not have a big day Rushing against Atlanta then they will not be able to Rush against anybody.
1. Chicago Bears
A. Total Defense, (13th).
B. Passing Defense, (20th), 226 Yards/Game
C. Rushing Defense, (9th), 93 Yards?Game
Summary: I come from the school of Defense wins football games. With that philosophy in mind the Bears should be able to only have minor damage in points allowed Sunday. Like I said, Atlanta will get their but the Bears will get more. I look for the Bears to shut down Turner with 8 in the box for most of the game. Matt Ryan will hook up with his receivers for most of their scoring this week.
Bear single player predictions
Jay Cutler, 250 Yards Passing, 2 TD Passing, 1 TD Rushing
Matt Forte, 145 yards combined, 1 TD
Devin Hester, 80 Yards Receiving, 1 TD
Greg Olsen, 90 Yards Receiving, 1 TD
Final Score: Bears 34 - Atlanta 27 in a 4th Quarter shootout. Any other predictions out there?

That’s what I’m talking about Gesia! This is, BY FAR, my favorite fan post you have ever made. Great job breaking down your predictions for the week.
Seriously, I’m still in shock. You broke down the x’s and o’s, gave stats (without giving a perfect game scenario), spelled players names right, gave your predictions with the why and even asked for readers input. I’d rec your post if it wasn’t a weekly “coluum” and if it wouldn’t be outdated this time next week.
That being said, this was mine from the prediction thread…
@Falcons: WIN – The Bears D is vicious this game, salivating at the chance to get back at Matt Ryan for last years last second rally. They come out firing on all cylinders and Vasher has a 2 interception game, reclaiming his title as the ‘Interceptor’. 4-1.
About Vasher… YIKES! I hope I’m at least right about the victory.
I still see us coming out throwing more than running. And I see us being more effective at it than other teams have been – getting in the end zone via the pass at least twice (as you said). I’m also thinking Ryan is going to see a lot more pressure than he has thus far, and that his sack total will triple after this week’s game. Turner’s a good, strong back and he’ll probably get his, I just hope we can keep him out of the end zone.
I’d also love to see Knox make it four games in a row with at TD!

By the way...
Saw THIS on nflshop.com. If you want, I can photoshop it on your profile picture, I really don’t mind.
(you knew I couldn’t go a whole thread without one joke, right?!?) ;)

Hmmmmmmmm, Vasher Huh?
It would be nice to see this guy show up for a football game this week. I was really hoping to see him establish himself as a premier player in the league this Year.

You and me both.
He’s been given every opportunity now to return to form. At some point (as the Bears seem to have done) you just have to give up counting on him to.

Wait....
This is a well thought out informative post….. could I have been wrong about you all along? :) Good job punching bag! I’m proud of ya!!!!!
I’m going to say we come out with the pass to set up the run because I think the Falcons are going to look to stop the run. Look for the big play action pass in the first quarter to get the ball rolling. We need to start fast so I see us trying to get up early and then running more in the second half to milk the clock.
Look for Olsen and the TE’s to have a big day combined catches in 12-15 range, and EB gets his first TD of the season!!!!!
Wishful thinking but could this be the game Hester returns a punt? Field Conditions will be perfect, what better place than a dome. We all remember St Louis.
Defense plays well against the run, ok against the pass and register 2 sacks, 1 Fumble and an INT.
Patrick Manelley leads the team in Special Team tackles with 4. :)
Final score prediction. Bears 27- Falcons 23.

Unfortunately
My head suggests the following prediction
Atlanta — 36
Chicago — 24
The Bear secondary is going to get lit up like a Christmas tree.

That's actually not that
pessimistic considering it’s BLou.
Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec (wreck) comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.
Just because it can be done on Madden NFL does not automatically make it a viable option in real life.

Go figure.

Well, hopefully we light up their secondary, too
We should be able to run against this team, though. Anyway, I don’t predict we’ll have another last-second melt-down like last year.
Bears 24
Falcons 21

Nice Prediction.
We should have won the game 24 – 21. Unfortunately at the NFL level you can’t get away with stupidity on the Road.

Bad Nickname
The Rat, that doesn’t sound to nice. Matt “All Dat” Forte or Matt “Big Stats” Forte or Matt “Big Natts” Forte.

Yup!

Not So Much
3 Red Zone failures by the Bears doomed my prediction.

Did you see Vash had an INT?!?
