Game 2 Preview: Chicago Bears @ Dallas Cowboys

Really looking forward to this game. I think we can learn alot about this team if we can pull out the win.

The game is on Fox by me. Usually I have to wait for Sun/Mon night games or hope that the Bears game is picked as one of the games of the week on NFLN replay. I can’t wait, this should be a good game.

How did KVB school C-Dub?

KVB didn;t register any sacks
and if i’m correct didn’t even touch cutler..i could be wrong, but i’m pretty sure that doesn’t count as a schooling

Williams has not shown the ability to win such a battle one-on-one.

This isn’t true. Williams handled Jared Allen last year at Minnesota extremely well. Yes, Williams hasn’t had the best season so far, but I still think that he is more of an asset than a liability.

I think Dallas safety position is maybe they most weakest position in their secondary. This can be a game where Mike uses Olsen, Clark, and Davis a lot.

Neither showed much in week 1 and it’s hard to take 1 games rankings of offense and defense and conclude that we’re great or terrible. I think each team played sloppy last week and should be on their A game this week if they want to win. Should be a good one. I hope the Bears they pull it out.

that will be a problem for this o-line. Ratliff, Spears, and Olshansky help to round out a damn good front 7. The Bears will have to go max protect for the most part early and try to run the ball. Passing will not be easy because of the front 7, so look for deep in routes and shallow crosses to have any effectiveness. The Bears defense has to be strong up the middle against the run. The ‘boys passing game is better than it showed last week, don’t be fooled. The safeties have to be on their game.
IMO, the biggest challenge for the Bears is simple fundamental football. Block, tackle, and run solidly. This game can be grind it out win or a blowout loss. The Bears offense needs to find that set of plays/players that can get 2-4 yards on third down. I think for now, C Taylor is a better option on third down and short. My prediction is Bears win again 23-16.

Carrie Underwood, Skinny Kelly Clarkson, Skinny Jessica Simpson > Kristen Cavalleri. Times a millions.

I will be happy. The numbers are SKEWED. It was Detroit we were playing last week, not the Patriots. Take away that long ass run after catch by Forte and the numbers come into focus a little. We will learn a LOT from this game, There is going to be PRESSURE on all fronts. We still dont play like a team, just a bunch of jobbers getting a paycheck.
My prediction 42-10 Cowboys. Romo 315 yards 3 TDs 2 INT Cutler 250 yards 1 TD 2 INT 1 Fum. Cowboy rush 150+ 3 TD Bears <100 yards 0 TD.
Crappy prediction and I am not happy about it and I hope I am wrong, but gut and head think different.

• Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson from ABBA and there is no “Dancing Queen”
• Huey Lewis from the News and Back to the Future has no soundtrack
• Ferris Beuhler and we lose Abe Froman (Sausage King of Chicago)
• The middle finger and there’s no way for Jets fans to wave
• Games vs the Cubs, Pirates and Brewers…St. Louis wins the National League Central

Fact is, you cannot selectively remove statistics. You cannot state a number is skewed based on the opponent. And you cannot discount a win because the ManBeast layeth the smacketh down up a starting QB (it will happen again…oh yes it will happen again – David Caruso impersonation from CSI).

how we doing Bears fans. im a big Cowboys fan in iowa who also really likes the Bears. this is a bad game for me, but i have to root for my Cowboys. this is gonna be a game thats won in the trenches for sure. Chicago is still a blue collar team, tough and physical. Cowboys are a lil bit of both. this is gonna be a huge game for both teams. to me week 1 isnt a true showing of your team, week 2 it gets really going. good luck and if nothing else hope for no injuries, neither team can afford that

But not with anything crazy like end arounds or anything. Cowboys are too fast on D for those to work. I want to see Hester working out the slot and getting some nice chunk of yardage throughout the day. We need to get Hester involved in this game.

i think the offensive and defensive linemen will tell the story
mark anderson needs to take advantage of the fact that colombo is older, and coming off of a knee injury, if we can keep pressure on Romo from Anderson the cowboys could be in a world of trouble. The return of the cowboys linemen dont scare me much in the passing game so we need to shut down the running game early

the cowboys front 7 as a unit are tough, the outside linebackers do a great job rushing the edge and the linemen so a good job tying up blockers. keep in mind they had at least 2 players in the top 10 in both qb pressures and qb hits, with jay cutler having a tendency to force throws, an inexperience receiving core, and a new offensive system its easy to see how this can be tough for chicago

dallas the last 4 or five years have not ranked above 23rd in forcing turnovers which is good when your qb has led the league in total interceptions over the past few seasons.

if dallas can pressure jay cutler early this could easily end up 27-10 or worse
chicago stops the running game we could see dallas go 0-2 and us 2-0 for the first time in awhile

final prediction im liking chicagos versatility on offense hard to predict who is going to be hot this week, if the offensive line can give jay time this could be an interesting offense against any team. the cowboys offense didnt produce much last week points wise but they were playing against a really good washington defense. i expect to see dallas coming out running the ball early and often to take advantage of chicagos smaller quicker defensive linemen and limit the amount of time jay cutler and the offense hits the field. 21-17 you decide the winner
