I know that this is a Bears website but I also know some of you are not Chicago natives and some of you are specifically just Bears fans.  But I felt that you guys should see this, Rick Morrissey can definitely rub people the wrong way, sometimes with his over the top columns especially about the Bears, but I have to say after witnessing this I have a new found respect for Rick Morrissey.  Never have I seen someone actually stand by what they write quite like this before and it should be a lesson to all players and fans alike that sports shouldnt be taken soo seriously. 

That being said if the Bears dont beat the 49ers tomorrow, I seriously might kill someone or jump off a rooftop somewhere.  So what if Im a hypocrite, enjoy!!!

Morrissey Eats It!!!!

Since I feel like there should be SOME kind of Bears content on here, I will give my keys to the game.

LT Barry Sims vs. DE- Alex Brown or Gaines Adams With Joe Staley out this has to be a spot where the Bears dominate, Alex Smith may be improved but if the Bears get pressure they should be able to turn him into the Alex Smith of old.

TE Vernon Davis vs. Anyone with Self Respect After he said he could DESTROY the Bears, there had better be someone ready to take on this challenge.  He may be having a good season but losing 4 games in a row and yet still saying that they will destroy anyone is crossing the line.  This is not the The 49ers of the 80's.  Vernon Davis meet Mr. Briggs : )

The Bears Defensive Swagger vs. The Bears Defensive Doubts With some of the interviews I have seen this week, I gotta say what really has rubbed me the wrong way was players saying that some had doubts going into the Cardinals games and they need to get their confidence back.  After getting shalacked by Carson Palmer and the Bengals you would think that they would have gone out there with the mindset that they want to prove that they can stop a prolific offense instead of showing fear against the first prolific offense they go up against.  So this week the Bears need to impose the FEAR into the 49ers and get back that Swagger that has been missing since the Steelers game, if there was a week to ever do it, this is the week.  Their seasons on the line, their pride is on the line, and for some their jobs are on the line.

QB Jay Cutler vs 49ers DBs  This is not the week to try to and force the run game, Im not saying completely abandon it, but I would like to see a little more 4 wide, heck maybe even a little 5 wide spread formation assuming Aromashadu will be active with Wolfe being out.  And would it be out of the question to possibly see some no huddle.  This week the Bears need to pass to set up the run.  With the 49ers holding the 4th best rush defense in football they should have no problem stopping the Bears inept run game. 

But on the flipside the 49ers are 24th in pass defense and also have to deal with the absence of DB Nate Clements who has been known to make a few plays.  Jay Cutler is coming off a big day passing the football with 369 yards passing and 3 TDs albeit in a blowout loss.  But regardless the Bears need to keep that mojo going, those are numbers that should be enough to get you Wins if the defense can hold up to their end of the bargain and thats a BIG if.

WR Devin Hester  After another solid effort last week from our NUMBER ONE WR, I dont expect Cutler to stop throwing in his direction.  He has made tremendous strides this year and is making all the catches, after watching Cutler and Hester connect on a deep ball with DRC draped all over him I would like to see them dial that play up a few more times this week.  With DRC being one of the fastest corners in the NFL, Hester should have no problem burning any one of the 49ers DBs. 

At the halfway point of the season Hester is on pace for over 80 catches and well over 1000 yards receiving, so stick that in your #1 Wide Reciever Pipe and smoke it.  And as a little side note, Hester just gave birth to his first son Devin Hester Jr., so Im expecting a dedication game in honor of his newborn son, how bout a punt return to the house for Little Anytime!

Get Off The Bus PLAYING  So many times I hear Lovie claim they "Get off the bus running", well this week I just want them to get off the bus playing and I dont care how they do it.  Because not one week have I seen this team actually look prepared for a football game in the first half, we played with fire in the first 4 games and avoided disaster but in these last 4 our luck has run out.  If the Bears have ANY playoff hopes for this season this problem has to be fixed.
