The Chicago Bears are 0-2, with the needle pointing downward, and are entering Week 3 of the 2015 season without their starting quarterback and starting wide receiver. Adding insult to injury, they have to play on the road in one of the toughest stadiums in the league, and are facing a hungry Seahawks team that has also opened the year at 0-2.
If ever there was a significant disadvantage, John Fox and company are facing one.
We all know that on any given Sunday anything can happen, and bigger upsets have certainly occurred, but it's hard to imagine the Bears defense being able to shut down Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch, and hard to imagine Jimmy Clausen leading a hobbled offense to any success in that stadium.
But, anything can happen. And we'll be right here with you for the duration.
This is your Bears vs Seahawks 1st Quarter Open Thread... Have fun!
