adam Posted Monday at 01:37 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:37 AM The early line has the Bears as +4.5 Dogs coming out of the bye. I think the line will shift as we get closer and determine the health of Daniels and McLaurin. Washington plays in LA at 3:25pm on Sunday, so they have to travel back home, but get an extra day of rest for MNF. So they very well could be 2-3 heading into the matchup with the Bears. The Commanders' offense is still putting up points, even with Mariota at QB. They scored 27 and lost to ATL, yet Mariota only threw for 156 yards. They had 147 rushing yards, which is what kept them in the game. The Bears need to shore up the run defense, especially if Daniels is back. Too early for predictions. Will do that after next Sunday.

Pixote Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago This could be tough to call. Bears have a week to rest and prepare. BUT: The Bears rank dead last for run defense. Washington ranks #2 in run offense (largely because of Daniels). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing what he looks like this weekend will give us a better idea. Getting Jarrett, Edwards, and Gordon back will help because they are all solid against the run.

I did find this note in an article on NFL.com stating their opinion on each team's need leading up to the trade deadline. If correct, it could be a big game for Caleb: Quote No one in the Commanders’ secondary has played well, as they’ve been scorched repeatedly through the first month, allowing the sixth-most passing yards in the NFL (even with the Russell Wilson Week 1 reprieve). Marshon Lattimore has been wicked bad to start the season. Even if some of the penalties have been of the ticky-tack variety, he’s been picked on, giving up three plays of 15 or more yards in four games. The veteran has particularly struggled with pre-snap motion in man coverage, which teams will continue to exploit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If correct, it could be a big game for Caleb: WAS gives up the 9th most passing yards and are the 5th worst in EPA/Pass against. WAS has faced Wilson, Love, Smith, and Penix, and the last 3 threw for over 289 yards and combined for 7 TD and 1 INT in the last 3 games. Geno passed for 289 yards and 3 TDs against WAS and only 117 and 2 TDs against the Bears. So this is a favorable matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
