What to Watch For: Vikings

Lovie is dreaming if he thinks the Bears are still a "good football team" with a chance to get into the playoffs - well, they do have a mathematical chance, though the chances of me developing any football skill and becoming an NFL starter are much better at this point. With that said, if the road to the playoffs starts now, here's what I think the Bears have to do to stop the 9-1 Minnesota Vikings. Week 11 is over and done, so it's time to look ahead.
1) Stop RB Adrian Peterson
Easier said than done, I know - for further evidence, see last year. But, despite Brett Favre again giving Father Time the Paul Krewe Pass-To-The-Balls, Peterson remains the Vikes' best weapon. The Bears will need to dare Favre to beat them. Leading to...
2) Vikings' Receiving Corp
Sidney Rice. Percy Harvin. Bernard Berrian. It's possible one of these guys breaks out this week. Keep in mind even AFTER Cincinnati and Arizona the Bears are still the #8 passing defense in the league. Favre makes this unit relevant in ways Tavaris Jackson only dreams of, but he's also due for his yearly fall-off pretty soon. Not counting on that, I think this unit resembles Philly's pretty closely, and we did a decent job on them and limiting the big play (McNabb 23/32, 244, 2/1). Stick to them like glue though, they all have some explosiveness to them.
3) Contain DE Jared Allen
This D-Line is a mismatch against our patchwork O-Line. TEs Greg Olsen and Kellen Davis will be needed - or required, take your pick - to take their blocking games to levels never before heard of by them - Allen is their most dangerous rusher, so look for everything - more protection (in people, not necessarily in results...), shorter routes, quicker releases, maybe even Jay rolling out on his own for #3...
4) Taking it Deep
... That sounded dirtier than it was meant to be. But should Jay get any time whatsoever, this Vikings' secondary should scare no one. Devin Hester and Johnny Knox have the speed to burn these guys, and should Jay get his accuracy back and stop overthrowing guys, we should be able to throw some points on the board. The Vikes' defense has been run on pretty well this year, but after watching any Bears football this year, does anyone have faith in our run-game to step up? Anyone? Bueller?
(Please don't bring up Kahlil Bell. I'm not crowning him until he gets more time on the field and until he does it to more teams.)
Vikings X-Factor) TE Visanthe Shiancoe
The Bears are oddly effective at defending the pass this year against teams NOT named Cincinnati and Arizona - and even with those included they have the #8 Pass Defense at this point in the year. That being said, opponents are completing 63.8% of passes against them. In looking for a guy that isn't obvious, yet still has the potential to burn us, the TE comes to mind, and Shiancoe has been pretty good this year. Shiancoe has 33 receptions on the year, with 7 of them going for scores, Favre's red-zone receiving weapon of choice. Brent Celek had 5 targets, 4 recs, 33 yards against the Bears on Sunday night. I'll take that repeat.
Bears X-Factor) WR Johnny Knox/RB Matt Forte
Can't say Cutler here, too obvious, so I'll go with one of his targets, and I already named a TE. But Knox is Speedy Gonzalez-type fast and can leave this Vikings' secondary choking on dust - er, turf. And we saw Jay overthrowing people on Sunday, so we know they can hook up. It's just a matter of how many chances they get.
Last year, no one could run on the Vikings. This year? Teams are getting away with it - see, Ray Rice. You don't run up the gut on the Vikings, you run (and pass) around them. And provided that we rediscover the screen, Forte can gain some yardage on the outside of this defense.
Any questions? Comments on how much Favre sucks? "SJS you're a dumbass"? Below!

Vikings have the number 3 run defense.
Just saying.
Yeah.
It’s harder to than most other teams, but you can run on them better than you could, say, last year. And keep in mind I didn’t say Forte HAD to run it, and I specifically broke out the screen – Forte can run that pretty damn well.
You're right though
Their run D’s weak point is the edges. Someone needs to call Lovie and give him the scoop, I don’t think he’ll figure it out. Forte up the middle…. for a loss of 3.
It's not even really "Forte up the middle"
It’s “Forte, bounces off the back of Beekman…falls down. 2 yard loss”
"I'm a firm believer in the philosophy of a ruling class. Especially since I rule."-Randal Graves
don't leave out
Forte bounces off beekman after 2 yards cuz Beek got a push… now he falls down because he hits Beek’s back instead of bursting through the seam(not hole) caused by Beeks push
But
What about the wide receiver screen? Can that work this week? As Ron Turner is thinking, I know it hasn’t worked this year, but we’re due, damnit we’re due.

nice post
but it could most likely be summed up as
what to watch for: a giant asswhipping given to the bears by the vikings.
even if we don’t have much chance of winning i am really hoping to see some vikings players get their bell rung. if we can’t win at least we can kick their ass physically.
Maybe so...
But if I was a talented NFL QB, I’d play til my arm fell off too.
You are all gentlemen (and ladies) and good judges of cheap whiskey.
i don;t hold any ill will
against favre for playing this long, nor do i hold it against him that he was shady with this last retirement thing to get with the queens. he wants to win another sb and he has talent, why not do everything you can to go out winning.
Sure, Favre bashing is a tradition for Bears fans.

I predict
that this will be the game that Old Man Farve begins another late-season collapse.
But we’ll still lose, of course.
Indeed.
He is a serious MVP candidate. Not just for the team, but the NFC. He is easily the best wide reciever in the league. All he needs is the chance!
Tear Favre's biceps tendon?
It worked last year.
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan.
No band-wagoner fans allowed, pick a team and stick with em, throughout the good and the bad.
I'm calling it right now.
Bears WIN this game.

I'll say either 23-20 Bears
or 24-13 Vikes.
You are all gentlemen (and ladies) and good judges of cheap whiskey.
I want to agree...
But too much bugs me about this. We have had a hell of a time stopping Chris “Beanie” Hightower (yes I know they’re two people…) and LeSean McCoy. This is Adrian Bleeping Peterson. About the only thing in our favor is our defense is slightly underrated and we’ve done a good job on Favre in Lovie’s tenure, but we haven’t seen him in a year. This is the first time we’ve really seen an offense that can damage you both ways and bad – not even counting teams like Cincinnati. This will be an offensive shootout – at least, more a shootout than people think.
Of course the heart says Bears…
Unfortunately the mind is saying VIKINGS 27-20.
I like your faith.
Doesn’t feel like a win to me, but any given Sunday….

Hmmm...
not much of a prognosticator, but I’ll say Favre has more INT’s than Cutler in this game. How’s that for ya? And I’m not trying to dismiss the Vikings, they’re a solid team. I just have a feeling… even if it’s totally wrong at the end of the day.

That's the most delusional thing I've seen this week.
Favre’s thrown three interceptions all year long while Cutler’s thrown more than that in two games this year.
Yeah, it could happen, but I’d find a Bears win more likely than Favre throwing more INT’s than Cutler.
And yes, it is still weird arguing FOR Favre.

I know the stats for both.
And while it may seem delusional, like you said it “could” happen? And if Favre happens to throw two interceptions to Cutler’s zero, and the Bears do pull out the W, then what?

So...
what’s are we betting against… that Favre will have more interceptions than Cutler or that the Bears will beat the Vikings? I say go with the interception thing, although I’d go either way.
But let’s lay out the rules:
1. None of that backing out crap. I once bet a guy shaved heads and he pussed out after I beat him. But I also once bet a guy over a Dolphins/Bears pre-season game, and here’s my prize.
2. No profanity or derogatory stuff in the profile pics. Keep it classy.
3. Loser has to keep the pic on their profile until after the December 28th Bears/Vikings game.
Other than that, game on. Let me know what we’re betting against. One or the other and you can pick. And I’m not delusional, I know the odds are way in your favor… but you can’t win big if you don’t bet big, right?
Also, I’m on vacation and this resort has crap for internet connection. So I may be slow in getting back with you. But I’ll be around.

You're not the only one on vacation
So don’t sweat it.
The wager has to be on the only thing that matters. Who wins the game.
I’m not going to back out, and you should know well enough that I keep it clean. Third point is good enough for me.

If it's a Bears win...
it’ll be really close, and down to the wire. If the Vikes win, it’ll be a blowout.
I fully expect:
2 more Cutlers INTs
About 1000 sacks against our line
and some irate Packer’s fan to shoot Favre from the grandstands
Bears by 3.
Bears go down
Vikes 37-24.
Jay throw 4 picks (1 pick six)
Jared Allen gets 5 sacks
Forte rushes for 20 yds (less than 2 yd avg).
Peterson runs for 150, 2 tds
Farve throws for 275, 3 td’s
Rice has 140 yds receiving, 2 tds

Math in Public is a no no. :)
Something doesn’t add up.
If Jay throws a pic 6 and Peterson gets 2 td’s and Farve throws for 3 td’s that’s 42 points assuming they make the extra points. Also who gets the safety?

Six TDs
equals at least a score of 42 points for the Vikes. I have a difficult time believing thr Bears score 24.

No way AP (the second not the original!)
runs for a buck fifty..
Roach love the run stuffin', but don't forget about the TE over the middle!!
- "Original WCG Power Poster!"
Why not?
I hope he doesn’t, but he’s averaged 138.5 yards a game against us.
And that’s through four games where we didn’t have to worry about a legit QB torching us in the air. Not to mention, that we had somewhat of a better defense through those four games.
I’d say it’s definitely a possibility.

What to watch for....
everything. The Vikes have too many weapons to cover, especially with AP occupying most of the defenders’ attention. The Bears need to force at least two TOs and possibly a STS TD in order to win this game.

Missing the point.
The post is about what needs to happen for a win against the Vikings. No one is actually saying that the Bears can execute. Personally, I’ll pencil this is as an L. If anything, I would like to see the Bears come out aggressive on both sides of the ball, regardless of the outcome. They’ll probably play flat, like usual. At least the latter would be another step closer to Lovie and Ron being fired.
Thank you.
Never once did I say “Oh this is what is going to happen and we will blow them the eff out.” If we do stop Jared Allen from sacking Jay for the game, I will freaking dance a jig right in my living room and look stupid doing it.
This is more “This is what I see that we need to do/utilize for us to have the opportunity to win this game.”
And if you read through any of this comment thread, CTED, you would see that I myself predicted a Bears loss. In case you missed it I said quote “VIKINGS 27-20.” I HOPE I’m wrong, but I know this game doesn’t shape up well for us. The above keys kind of hinge on the Bears being… you know… better for a day.
Course, if you see something I missed, like something else the Bears need to do or cover to give them a better chance, feel free to mention it, prove me wrong in my analysis, et cetera.
Actually...

Why can't we win ?
Who beat the Vikings ? The Steelers put up 27 points on the Vikings. 14 agaisnt us, and we beat the Steelers. Now explain to me like I’m a two year old how the Vikes are 100% guaranteed to beat us when they couldn’t beat the Steelers and we could ?
Forget AP and the Bears running the ball against the Vikes. This has all the makings of a shoot out. The Viking secondary sucks. Fact. Cutler has the biggest arm and fastest release in the NFL and has two of the fastest receivers in the NFL in Hester/Knox. And the Bears can’t win ? Favre, granted, also has a very decent receiving corps, hence a shootout is on the cards. If that happens then AP becomes irrelevant as they go toe to toe through the air. If we win in the dome I say we have turned the corner and go undefeated. It ain’t over til it’s over. All the tie breaks go against us though, so qualification will certainly be tough and requires meltdowns from all the others …
by Irish Bears Fan on Nov 26, 2009 1:18 AM CST reply actions
Are you serious?
1. Of those 27 points, 14 were because of defensive TDs. The vikings held Big Ben to his worse passing game of the season with their “terrible” secondary. In addition, the Bears played the steelers when they were missing troy.
2. Have you heard of the fact that the Vikings lead the league in sacks this year. With the offensive line the bears have, jared allen and company will have a field day against the bears. Cutler wont have any time to even look downfield.
3. You really think the vikings wont run with AD? I saw Tim Hightower and Beanie Wells tear up the Bears D, what do you think Adrian Peterson will do against them?
4. The Vikings have continued winning all these games with a secondary that “sucks.” Their best corner, Antoine Winfield, hasn’t played since week 6. Unfortunately for the Bears, he is back this week.

Something in the water in Shy-town?
Anyone who thinks that ‘DA CUBS compare to the VIKINGS in any phase of the game
the game is an intractable homer. Forget Lovie’s record against Favre, you have not
seen him on a team like this. Shootout? You can go ahead and try to start one. Why
should Vikings? Peterson can score from anywhere on the field as well or better than
any reciever Cubs have. Vikes wideouts have way more explosive plays than the Cubs
corps, and actually have an offensive line that can give a gun-slinging Q.B. the time to find somebody open. The Vikes D has the swagger that Cubs D used to be famous for.
How about special teams? Have you cared to compare the starting field positions?
The only reason Favre doesn’t lead the league in yardage is because he rarely has
that far to go to hit paydirt. How about red zone efficiency, offensively and defensively?
No comparison. Anyone who thinks DA CUBS are going to win out needs to put down
their pipe of whatever and try to get their heads dislodged from whichever crevice it is in.

Just more sewage.
I will say once again, I never said “This is what will happen and we will blow them out of the water.”
Yes, it does have the makings of a shootout – the Bears receivers can beat the Vikes’ secondary through speed, and the Vikings will score on two out of three possessions through our -efense, run or pass at your option. Means lots of points. Lots of points means shootout. And if you’re doubtful, we played a shootout-style game against this team just last year when they were led by Gus Bleeping Frerotte which we won. I’m not saying that’s how the Bears win this week, I’m saying that we have the makings for it this game.
I bring up our success against Favre because we have lost 2 of 3 matchups against the Favre-less Pack since he left town. I do however agree that he has unbelievable weapons, maybe better than what he had in GB, and thus I will rescind that sorta-point.
Special Teams… Hester is still a weapon and has the potential to break one at any time, though he hasn’t been able to break through just yet. Harvin and Rice are just beasts.

Stuck at work, so I got the great radio insights of Kurt Kittner...
But what I did see on my lunch break was pretty impressive for playing an undefeated team. Nice to see the guys actually hitting hard, and Juice is going to make a fine RB himself in the NFL, or maybe another Pat White Wildcat QB-type. I’ve never personally seen a college QB just rock a ‘backer like that. Shame that we didn’t get more out of Benn and Fayson this year, but that’s what happens when you don’t really have a passing QB. Overall a nice showing by the offense heading into Fresno State, just want more of the defense to play like they mean it.
With all due respect....
Please excuse me if I may be afflicted by a slight case of fandom right now, and I have
only visited this site for the for the lively give and take discussions with the real fans of football in the truly great second city. I mean absolutely no disrespect to the operators of this site or it’s fans and contributors, intelligent, patriotic Americans all I’m sure. But……..
