It's Game day, folks, and time to step up and take out a weak Washington Redskins team.
Wait, that's not right.
This may be the beginning of a pretty tough journey for our heroes. The Redskins come to Chicago with a 3-3 record and a strong shot at challenging for the NFC East title. Our Bears come in 4-2 with some nagging little injuries beginning to pile up, and an offensive line that just may be made out of clouds.
As always, or for at least the past 3 weeks, we'll have your quarterly game threads available for you. The first will be up a little before kickoff. In the mean-time, feel free to congregate here, discuss your food, your pre-game rituals, and check out the den that I put behind the jump for you.
Oh, and also, a big chunk of the nation should see this game. Here's the TV maps.
Cheers.
Bears set to battle McNabb, Redskins - The company line to start your day.
Bears' Urlacher goes from explosion to corrosion - OH NO, BRIAN'S HURT. WE'RE DONE FOR!!>!>! WHARGARRBL
Butkus, Sayers decry dangerous shots by today's defensive players - The old guard is concerned about some of the hits happening on defenseless players.
NFL stats: Squeezin' is pleasin' - Who is writing headlines over at the Bright One?
Lance Briggs: Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs hopes to age gracefully - Your body is a temple. Mine's like a temple of double cheeseburgers and onion rings. Lance, however, is a prime physical specimen.
Mike Martz: Can Chicago Bears offensive coordinator make necessary adjustments? - Can he? Yes. Will he? I can honestly say I have no idea.
Chicago Bears: Michael McCaskey Q&A - He looks like Emperor Palpatine.
Bears Notebook: The tight end disappearing act - Well, he's not catching the ball. And he's certainly not blocking. So where's Charmin?

2 hours down 10 to go
I hate the rain. Rain falls in this world, too. When your heart is in chaos, the sky becomes clouded. When you are sad, rain falls so terribly easily. Can you understand, the horror of being pelted by rain in this solitary world? If only to stop that rain, I shall lend you any strength. If you trust in me, I will let no rain fall in this world, trust me. You are not fighting alone.

I'm just thrilled I can see the game on TV down here in Central Florida
I’m hoping for a good game heading into the bye.
Today is a day I'm going to choose to look at the positives
I know the O-line sucks and I know the second half of the season is going to be tough but here’s the thing. In the worst case scenario even if the Bears lose today, they will still be leading their division at days end.
With that being said, let’s look at the bright side. If the Bears win a tough game on a rainy day where they hold on to the ball, get a few turnovers, and run the ball successfully, we’re in excellent shape going into the bye. Plus with a few breaks in some other games, guys we will really be set up well going forward. So for today I’m not going to think about the O-line, Martz stubbornness or Cutler getting hurt again. For this week I’m looking at the glass half full (well until Cutler’s first sack at least). Go Bears!
Yeah but it worked!
Well we have the head to head with GB right now
Yeah but it worked!
If I were to pronounce "ayyyeee"...
is that two or three syllables? What syllable gets the stress? I need to know these things…
This game will set the tone for the rest of the year
it is a must win

I always feel like
every game is a must win.
To be a good team in the NFL
YOU CANNOT lose two games in a row at home, or it is punishable by Ditka
Guns dont kill people. Brian Urlacher kills people.
bah
looks like the rain is clearing out already….
There are 3 types of people in the world:

3) And those who wonder "What the HECK just happened?!"
Right now I am at number 3 when going over the offense.....
-Mike Martz
i would get to watch
if i was home
they show all the redskins/ravens games here
i normally dont have many issues watching bears games when i wasnt working the weekends
and yes this is a must win, in my eyes EVERY GAME is a must win though

everyone is picking the 'skins to win
that is, ‘experts’ on yahoo and playbook
don’t we seem to do better as the ‘underdog’?
i hope we blowout these guys…
Ya
everything I have seen and heard have the skins winning this game…..Some even have them winning big with Cutler getting sacked at least 6 times…..

OKAY. I'm setting the over/under on Redskins sacks at 5.
Gimme your picks.

Hmm
think under only because I think they run a little more since martz is getting hammered in the press….but I still think like 4 sacks…..

Based on what I've seen...
over. Martz and Cutler haven’t shown a willingness to adjust to what the defense is doing. Until they do, I have zero faith the offense will curb the onslaught.
Plus, the Skins have a much better pass rush than Seattle.
"How do you know somebody is great? When you see how they respond to adversity. Anybody can man a ship when the waters are calm." - Jerry Angelo
I'll take the over
I see 7 sacks for sure. Hope I’m wrong, but our O-line is beyond dreadful
I'm not so mean. I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something. - Dick Butkus
time for knox to score
and how bout Henry Melton in the backfield at the goal line?
Wonder if I should
watch todays game….Had a dream last night where I was trying to watch TV but this big bear would always get in my way and try to like sit on me….The only way to get it off me was to like holds its tongue and squeeze but that would make it get sick on me which in turn would make me sick….
Wonder if thats a bad sign…..

wouldn’t let me watch the game and drank all my beer. I woke up in a cold sweat
Jake is right, we did have a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.

Inactives
Although he was listed as questionable with a concussion, Redskins tight end Chris Cooley is active and ready to go today against the Bears.
The Redskins’ inactives are cornerback Kevin Barnes, defensive tackle Anthony Bryant, guard Derrick Dockery, defensive end Jeremy Jarmon, running back Clinton Portis, linebacker Perry Riley and running back Chad Simpson. John Beck is the third quarterback.
The Bears’ inactives are running back Kahlil Bell, cornerback Zack Bowman, tight end Desmond Clark, guard Roberto Garza, defensive tackle Marcus Harrison, defensive end Corey Wootton and defensive back Major Wright. Todd Collins is the third quarterback.
Surprised no Wooten…..guess they are kinda of desperate to find that 3rd DE….

I've heard they're looking at Spellman
Stability and consistency is what he brings to the table.

Cutler plenty of time
but misses an easy conversion. Dear goodness.
