Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

Seattle beat them in their house last week, and Seattle isn't a very good team. The Bears are ripe for the picking, I don't think it will be a blowout, but I'm predicting this one won't come down to the final plays like we've seen almost every week from the Skins.

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

I just hope we dont do anything stupid and not play AH to take advantage of such a poor Oline. There is no excuse this week.

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

We better beat them...it will ruin the entire year for me if we don't. I expect Orakpo to have a field day and that POS QB they have to throw multiple INTs.

Man I hope you are right! We need a EASY W for once but I see this as a defensive struggle for both teams. Cutler COULD have a big game but I just dont see it. As for our Offense, No Cooley could mean trouble. I really like Davis but hes not that good of a blocker. Torain must have a good game again, This Bears D isnt the Colts D.

[quote=LavaRnChad;750146]The same could be said about us at 3-3. I know if our defense can't sack Cutler at least 5 or 6 times with the horrible o-line the Bears have, that would be simply sad.[/quote]

Through 6 games the Bears o-line has given up 27 sacks. That's 4 1/2 per game. Even the Seahawks were able to sack him 7 times, and you can't tell me the Seahawks are this defensive powerhouse like the Giants are. Like I said, we should be able to get to Jay Cutler with how porous the Bears o-line is. All we need to do is get a lead and make them pass to catch up.

Now the Bears defense is pretty good too, but they're not the Steelers defense. They can be scored on. And don't forget the Bears would be 3-3 right now if the officials had ruled that was a catch by Calvin Johnson in week 1.

Martz and Cutler is a match made in near heaven.

[quote=SirClintonPortis;750342]Martz and Cutler is a match made in near heaven.[/quote]Usually just from the perspective of NFL defensive coordinators.

I honestly think it would work there if they had better OL personnel, because they really do out-scheme some very good defenses. But Cutler get hits so much that he's absolutely stopped reading coverages and going through progressions. Ergo, that Martz relationship hasn't proven beneficial to his career. Of course, one of the reasons they don't have better OL personnel is because they traded multiple first rounders for a mediocre QB prospect they didn't have the means of developing. At least they got rid of that "bum" Orton.

Still could turn around, but right now, things don't look good.

Hence the "near" part. They're an OL away from reaching offensive "heaven".

Like I said, it could still work. They're just wasting time spinning their wheels in mud.

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

It's just one value metric, but: Brandon Lloyd and Kyle Orton have combined for 983 DYAR this season.

Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall have combined for 112 DYAR (two fewer games though).

Brian Xanders/Josh McDaniels FTW? Well, at least until you look at how those draft picks were wasted.

[quote=SmootSmack;750355]Home team generally gets a 3 point spread don't they? So this is basically even I think[/quote]

Yup, the home team usually gets a FG... but considering how both teams have been playing lately, it's interesting to see where the money's going.

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

I will say this game seems to have AL's name written all over it. I really want this guy just to be this mean nasty monster and just crush the pocket. I really want him to be successful here. I know he has been dominated on in some games but I feel a big one coming from him. Just like Los gets at least to pass break ups his week not Int's, but break ups.

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

The spread will tighten a bit as we approach kick off. Vegas is betting the Skins will probably take this one, maybe by much as a touchdown.

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

I would say they need a couple of real WR as well. They arent just an oline away. Which by the way is a HUGE piece of the offensive puzzle as we all know.

I want to say we can win this game. I do not know if we will, but I know we can.

I havent predicted any games this year as I honestly think this team is to hard to predict. BUT I do have good feeling about this one!

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

I was looking at PFT and noticed that Dallas Clark's season is pretty much over due to hand/wrist injury.

I then wondered which Bear gets injured?

But.... I think someone should start a thread with a list of players who got "knocked the "F" out" by the Skins. lol. Hasn't there been an opponant injured each game?

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

imo we shouldn't be favored they are 4-2 and we are 3-3. On the road at that

[QUOTE=skinsfaninok;750370]imo we shouldn't be favored they are 4-2 and we are 3-3. On the road at that[/QUOTE]

So the team with the better record ALWAYS is favored. When you look at two teams you look at the individual matchups and general schemes. I would say TW has earned a favorable matchup against Peppers - not saying he will win every battle but he will hold his own I think. Urlacher did not practice today so I don't know their LB status, and their corners are average. That means our offense ought to have some success attacking the middle and deep parts (which Mcnabb and KS love to do). As for their offense, obviously Orakpo gives us an advantage in pass rush and if AH plays (well) he gets a push too(unless E Williams knows a secret to stopping him). The biggest threat they have is forte and he scares me a lot. If Addai can run like that up our center Forte may break rushing records.
If you look at the teams we have faced: houston, philly, indy,packers are no slouches and we have matched up well there.

No but they are home and usually when 2 teams are about equal, they have a 2 or 3 point line. I really think this will be another nail biter. The Bears Defense is solid, they dont give up alot on the ground and thats going to be a KEY factor with us Sunday. McNabb has had 1 great game and the others have been AVG to Good. I think we will win this game but I don't have a problem being the underdog.

16 PPG and only 94 yards per game on the ground for the bears D.

I've caught some streams. They're arguably worse than we were last year. Sometimes they go max protect, and Cutler still finds himself on the ground.

Yeah their D will certainly be a challenge, but I still think they are susceptible to medium and long passes, which is what we kind of excel at. I doubt we will do much running at all. I also wonder if Shanahan knows how to get into Cutler's head.

I can see being the underdog, we certainly haven't blown anyone out (yet) but if there were a case where the records don't reflect the performances I would think this would be one of those type matchups.

The more I read about the Bears, I think this will be a close, low-scoring, even ugly game. Special teams might be the difference, so don't kick to Hester!

This is an intriguing matchup for the NFC. I think both teams are middle of the pack, but a convincing victory would elevate the winner above mediocrity, for now at least. The Bears are in their position because the NFC North has been a big disappointment so far.

This probably will be a close game, and we are both middle of the pack teams with issues on both sides of the ball. Chicago Defense is absolutely no joke...but they can be inconsistent. Yeah they have a bad Oline, ours isnt so great itself. But their front 7 can be very aggressive and usually play solid. I think the difference will be which offense can play the best and turnovers are probably be the difference in the game.

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

One thing that worries me is how we play with a lead. When we went up 27-10 on Houston I figured it was business as usual, all we had to do from there was play smart football, don't turn the ball over, and run out the clock and we'd have an easy win. So if we do go up by a decent margin Sunday I'll be holding my breath to see if we can sustain that lead.

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

[quote=SirClintonPortis;750342]Martz and Cutler is a match made in near heaven.[/quote]

And by heaven you mean the opposite right? That's why Martz keeps calling 4 and 5 WR spread looks with an empty back field when the O line can't stop my great grandmother from blowing up the back field. Let's hope that continues this week.

And FYI, I saw someone say earlier they predicted Torain to go for 125 and a TD and that our running game was going to propel us. Don't count on that. After doing some fact checking...

Bears 2010 Defense
Rushing - Rank: 3rd Yards/G: 90.8
Passing - Rank: 18th Yards/G: 220.8

If anything its going to be our passing game that does it. I hope Cooley is back...

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

[quote=diehard;750144]Let's rack up some more wins in the conference. Grossman surely wants to play too.[/quote]

Speaking of racking up points, let's go with oRAKpo doubling his sack total for the season this week. How's that for a prediction? If we don't get atleast 11 sacks in the first half I won't be satisfied. I don't want the Giants holding that record.

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

Also lets keep in mind that Briggs is going be playing hurt this week, its an ankle so hopefully slows him in coverage against Cooley/Davis/any RB and we can exploit that during the game! If AH plays I would look for Orakpo to have a big game

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

I think the key for us will be sustaining drives more than causing turnovers and sacks (which I suspect we will do). But if we cannot do anything once we get the ball, we leave ourselves open to Forte trying to grind us down and keep our D on the field for a long time. To sustain drives, we need to get something going on the ground to set up the pass (esp. play action), and that will reuqire Torain to play with more discipline than last week. Against the Colts, he was solid, but tried too often to bounce outside the tackles and go for longer yardage, usually to the opposite effect. Had he stayed with his blockers, he likely would have been more effective. If he does that, I think we can keep the chains moving on offense.

An early lead will be key. We need to get out in front and force the Bears to throw. If we do, we could have a great day. If they do, they can pressure McNabb and try to grind us down with Forte, which has to me their strategy.

While no one should take the Bears lightly, we should win this game and I think we will. It would be nice to having a convincing win for a change, but I will take an ugly one at this point. I predict 22-16 Skins (we get a safety).

[quote=Buster;750513]Nah...we only beat the Eagles, Packers and played the Colts down to the wire...PATHETIC!

:pffff:[/quote]

Not pathetic, a win's a win, I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss etc. We've all heard those phrases over and over again.

At some point, in order for us to be a complete team, we have to go into someone's house, play better than them in every facet, and win on a regular basis. We are not there yet and so there is always room for improvement.

Chicago is 4-2, has a stellar defense, and they also happen to have beaten the Packers. Can the Redskins win? Absolutely, I think we've proven that we can hang around with a lot of teams in the league. We have 3 wins in 6 games, 1 less than we had in 16 games last season.

But we have to improve our overall defense, the offensive line still has to gel, we are still looking to establish a consistent running game and we have yet to develop a very thin WR corp, arguably one of the worst in the league. So, while not pathetic, we have a ways to go before we are where we could be.

Re: It's F-ing Bears Week!
 

What excites me about this game, is this really will be the first week without any serious drama. (well Hall was drama:rolleyes: but yeah well back to my thought). AH is at practice and playing nice apparently, the whole 1st team is at practice and working hard, Rocky was back. I am hoping we get a real solid win out of all this, and a long look at what this team's identity will be going into the second half of the season.

Us blowing them out would be great, but if this team just comes in and does a hard day's work and gets the W without any last minute heart attacks, I will be very happy.
