The Chicago Bears played exactly how I thought they'd play

but the domination by the defense was an absolute thing of beauty.

Melton is as good as advertised

I would never have predicted that the D would get three turnovers and not allow the ATL offense into the end zone. This was a HUGE opening statement, pundits be damned.

There isn’t a team on the schedule the Bears can’t beat, and I thought that before the season began. As long as the o-line keeps improving and the D keeps doing its thing, there’s nothing stopping this team. Yeah, I like to guzzle Kool-Aid from time to time.

Just saying.

I saw some real flashes of brilliance is all aspects of the game. While there’s always room for improvement, this group has the ability to be dominant.

I was particularly impressed with JC’s command of the field. He knew exactly where his guys would be, but more importantly he knew where the defenders would be. As his group plays more together, I predict they will be the nightmare that Coordinators lose sleep over.

Our D, I mean they are the best we’ve had in at least 5 years. We are beastly at so many positions, it’s a wonder that they got any scores at all.

Pass the pitcher, there’s plenty of Kool Aid to go around.

I really should have called my bookie with the Bears playing as a road dog.

Home dog….I’m here to serve and protect hassle and annoy.

so I was very disappointed in the game…

Now if we can continue this dominance throughout the season…

He is so much better when we can generate a pass rush with the front four.

Jay smiling, cracking players on the rear, Hemi doing his sack skip…you could tell they were having a lot of fun. It was even more evident in the highlight videos. When you see players having a good time like that, it’s a really good sign.

They were who you thought they were.

I was expecting a subtle link redirecting us to a post of yours detailing how the Bears would dismantle the Falcons.

I had to say it, don’t ban me!

In the power rankings of the sb site sbnation, the Packers are ranked 1st, Bears are ranked 8th, and the Lions 12th. I’m loving the idea of the last game of the season being the determining factor on who wins the division. All 3 teams in the playoffs would be exciting for us NFC North’s team loving fans.

I like the Bears in the New Orleans game. I don’t see Brees having a big day against this defense. I also like Cutler as well in this one.

And realizing it would be a hard job to pull off.
The fact that they executed just made me content and glad they realized me expectations.

If i, living i Brazil seethe at the general disrespect the bears suffer day in, day out i can only imagine what you native guys feel.

But before the season started, based on last record, keeping coaching staff intact, re-signing SOME key players, new additions through draft, free agency, i predicted da bears to go 10-11 wins.

My other predictions:

1 – Bears Will go to the Playoffs as the 5th or 6th Seed, winning 10-11 games.
2 – Defense will be top 5 in yards and points, but will be n.1 in Turnovers
3 – Sack total will go up to 43 sacks, INTs will stay at 21.
4 – Jay Cutler will throw for 3.750 yards 29 TDs and 11 INTs. 4 more TDs in the Playoff game.
5 – Bears and Packers will Split series.
6 – Bears will hurt Stafford again. (For the 4th time)
7 – Bears offense will be in the top 15, Top 10 if defense and STs contribute with scores.
8 – Matt Forté will have 1200 + Rush yards, 8 TDs + 500 yds 5 Reception TDs (might make the pro-bowl)
9 – He will get his contract before the Year ends. So will Briggs.

The bears Looked THIS good against a pretty strong Atlanta team, makes me wonder what we’ll do when get to the cupcake parts of the season.
We might lose to GB and NO. But we might have the opportunity to Knock a couple of QBs out for the season if the Bears passrush is what this last game showed me.

Melton, could be a star by the end of the season.

That makes me feel great! If that’s them playing decently, imagine what this offense will look like when it is firing on all cylinders. I think this offense can hang with anyone if the protection hold’s up and yes that is a pretty big if but the line didn’t look as horrible as we all thought it could’ve. With time and more experience and coaching, this line will be decent. I think they’re already better than a handful of other olines around the league.

The defense is legit and always has been. While the secondary is still a bit worrisome, that dline is just beastly. The depth and talent on it is deep and it’ll only get better when Wooton gets back, hopefully with his burst still in tact. As long as the hate keeps coming and the team stays loose, they’ll keep on embarrassing the “experts” all the way to the Super Bowl!

I couldn’t help noticing that Major Wright looked less than spectacular. More like a liability. Was that just me?

along with GB, ARI and NE. 150 yoyos netted 760 or something. Here’s my question. We’re 2.4 to 1 dogs this weak (no spread). Are we that far behind the Saints? I wouldn’t have thought so. Their D doesn’t appear that strong. Their O could be in trouble againt our D. Are we a worthy bet
