Benson looks like a completely different back. He has speed that I have never seen before. On his TD run, he was stopped in the backfield and busted out for 25+ yards outrunning everyone on the field. In Chicago, he would just run into the backs of the OL. Could it be Turner?

I don't think we need help at WR, or at least it is not the top concern. So I would hate to give up a pick for something we don't really need.

With NYG, MIN, and NO all undefeated, they are clearly the forerunners, and essentially locks for the playoffs. Someone will win the west, and the 2 WCs will come from the other 3 divisions. Right now the Bears, Falcons, and Eagles are vying for 2 spots. So the game next week is huge. We stay ahead of the Pack, and push ahead of the Falcons.

They looked great this week vs SF. Almost 500 yards of offense, 8-15 on 3rd downs. This will be a huge test for us next week.

You are making it seem like this is dink and dunk. Orton completed 73% of his passes and threw 48 times and a bunch were beyond 10 yards. He averaged more yards per attempt than Brady, and 5 receivers had 4 or more receptions. This wasn't just the defense either. Denver had the ball for 36 mins and over 400 yards. Orton would've been much better for us this year (but I still do the trade every time).

Yeah, that is crazy. Also, I remember Mohamed Massaquoi during the draft and that some were thinking we would take him in the 2nd.

5 seems high for him right now because I thought he was the 10th Best QB on their list.

I remember the high five at midfield.

NFC 1. Saints 2. Giants 3. Bears 4. 49ers 5. Vikings 6. Eagles AFC 1. Colts 2. Patriots 3. Ravens 4. Chargers 5. Broncos 6. Steelers MVP: Brees OROY: Sanchez DPOY: Allen I think Minnesota could easily be 5-3 at their Bye Week and that last game at Soldier Field will probably decide the Division.

Mine is all NFC North teams, then all NFC teams, then all AFC teams.

Odds for making the playoffs: 4-0 84% 3-1 64% 2-2 35%

I actually liked how GB stopped AP, especially in the 2nd half. Otherwise, I thought GB played like crap, and even like that, they only lost by 7.

Detroit had one of the better coverage units before the game.

I am loving me some Jay Cutler. 3 consecutive games with a 100+ QB Rating, and 7 TDs and 1 INT in his last 3 games.

I don't want to see Minny go to 4-0. Very few teams miss the playoffs after starting 4-0.

I was kidding (blue = Detroit colors).

Wear blue so I can see you.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_...?urn=nfl,193266 I think it is a little too early for a comparison like this. Especially considering that Forte's rookie year was better than any year by either of the two. I also believe that he is playing injured, our O-Line has been bad in support of the run, teams have stacked the box, and we've played 2x 3-4 defenses.

I would love for a fast start. We have yet to score in the 1st quarter and have been outscored 17-0 so far. Lets also have some nice sustained drives. I am sick of the quick 3 and out to start the game or half. Bears 31-17.

It seems like teams are still forcing the Bears to pass and stacking extra guys in the box. We have also been very predictable on our runs.

I was just posting anything related to the Bears-Lions game, and an injury to their starting RB seemed to be post-worthy. I was hoping for anyone to be out. I think the Bears will win the game pretty easily. I just want to see a big early lead so we can get the ground game going. I really like what the Cowboys did last night. They had a sort of Play-action, delayed draw, trap that was really successful.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/...s-week-to-week/ This would be a nice break for the Bears.

Nice work. Other Projections: Olsen: 48-496, 6 TDs Forte: 800 Rushing Yards, 0 TDs, Rec - 59-389, 0 TDs Here is a fun one, take only Cutler's last two games and project that for a full season (if you consider GB as : 3864 Yards, 40 TDs, 8 INTs, 7.4 YA, 73.8% Comp Pct.

I am very happy with a 2-1 record after those 3 games. We could've easily been 0-3 or 3-0. However, we are only 1 play from being 3-0, so I will gladly take a 2-1 record at this point. Next week is a big game, we can't play down to the Lions. 3-1 into the Bye is a must.
