Well the Bears Managed to pull out last nights game 20-17. Packers had a bunch of costly penalties. :/ And a nastyyy Devin Hester Punt return for a TD didn't help. xD

The past couple Monday Night games have been really good. :)

Chicago got lucky Green Bay had a really off game with all the penalties and the mistakes.

 

[donavannj]

There's still no denying that Chicago's still 3-0, though.

 

[Sweet Candace]

Yeah. But, Chicago will come back down to earth eventually. Cutler is going to revert back to his old ways throwing interceptions left and right.

Well certainly not during October. All the teams they'll be facing that month are slumping or are terrible to begin with. (Giants Panthers, Seahawks, Redskins)

 

[Sweet Candace]

Chicago will have to play Green Bay in Lambeau and they still have to play Minnesota twice. Chicago will have a very rough landing after the calendar rolls over to November.

They will probably get fat off of that schedule they have, though, in the meantime.

 

[Sweet Candace]

Yeah, the Bears play a bunch of cupcakes in the upcoming weeks. Then they hit the meat @ Green Bay and vs./@ Minnesota, vs. Philadelphia, vs. New England and vs. New York Jets.

 

[donavannj]

Green Bay's got a pretty cake-tastic schedule themselves, leading up the Vikings game. But the Bears still look like the most together offense in the NFC North at this point. Green Bay and Minnesota both have huge issues with their offensive lines.

 

[Sweet Candace]

But, you don't know if Cutler can keep this up. Plus, Chicago has problems on offense too, they have no set in stone #1 WR because the #1 WR seems to shift from game to game. (From Hester to Knox to Aromashodu to Hester to Knox, etc.)

At least they have people consistently catching the ball. Cutler is good enough to be "good". The Bears' defense was what was faltering most often last year. Chicago's ridden their defense in every year that they've been good this decade.

 

[Sweet Candace]

When Urlacher went down Week 1 last season the defense suffered. If this happened to a team like Dallas if they lose DeMarcus Ware, it'd be huge, but Dallas has good backups or they could move Spencer to ROLB and Bradie James to Spencer's spot; LOLB.

 

[donavannj]

The key for a lot of the league's consistently good teams is their depth.

 

[Sweet Candace]

You need depth especially at QB, RB, WR and LB. Those positions are key to have viable backups in case of injuries/holdouts.

Saints vs Panthers on Sunday!!

 

[Sweet Candace]

There are some good games on tap Sunday; Baltimore and Pittsburgh and McNabb's return to Philly.
