What is our game plan for victory versus Chicago

[DynamiteRave]

Another key to winning: Scoring points in the redzone.

Taking FGs within the 20 yard line is killing us score wise. Think 7 not 3!

Of course the irony is that the Bills had the same problem yesterday

LOL I can't believe someone wants to get rid of JC already. No, check that I'm not surprised at all. Just when you think you've heard it all, some idiot here will come out with an opinion that defies logic.

Everyone is always talking about the fumbles, blah blah blah, but I mean COME ON, he's NOT AN RB and if he's running for his life because the offensive line can't block for shit, I don't lay that on him.

Yeah, It's one thing if he's taking off and scrambling with the ball all flailed out, but he's basically getting bum-rushed from behind and losing the ball on sacks. He's a competitor, and he's trying to make a play. I'm not going to ostracize him for that.

Will the "He's an NFL QB, NO EXCUSES", argument hold ground? Sure. But let's yell at our o-line before we start going apeshit and demanding that he be traded.

My thoughts exactly. I read some of his posts and I just put my head down and started laughing. I will, however, admit that Campbell through some nasty balls yesterday though. I loved being at the game, because I got to look at the field and sort of see what Campbell sees.

( on a side note : I wish there was a way you could buy some package and get different views of the game. Maybe a QB cam or something. I can't wait for the future)

I just remember seeing too much cushion, and Campbell would glance over, make his read, and fire haphazardly. He seemed to get rid of the ball as quick as possible, and just over throw his receivers some time. He's got a gun, and has got to learn how to give a little more touch.

I also saw a few plays where he anticipated some of the routes perfectly (most notably a deep curl route by McCardell) and threw the ball before the cut was even made. The ball sailed perfectly and landed right as he turned back and looked for the ball. The execution gave me goosebumps.

How to beat Chicago?

1.) Do not kick to Devon Hester
2.) Do not turn the ball over on a short field

Look at the past few games of the Bears. Hester scores on kicks and punts, and the only scores the offense get are on a short field.

In the last 2 games the Bears have had ONE offensive drive over 60 yards. The other scores are from the Bear defense getting a turnover and giving Grossman a short field, or, some idiot kicker that kicks to Hester.

Sunday vs the Giants, take away the 3 turnovers by the Giants and the Bears only score 3 points.

Last weekend vs the Broncos, take away Hester and there are only 14 points on the board and 7 of those are from a short field.

1) do NOT kick to Hester
2.) Do not turn the ball over

By accomplishing steps 1 and 2 you force Grossman to be a QB, and we all know he is not!

Benson is OUT and that puts the game squarley in Grossmans hands.

Ok, I looked it up and he started with the Pats in 2000 and started in 2001.
