Cards news:

 

Last week Boldin hurt his ankle (again) and was limping pretty badly. I really don't expect him to play except he might because Early Doucet is also fighting an ankle injury and Boldin is one tough man who will fight through the pain if it's possible. If he's on the field he won't be close 100%. Nobody can stop Fitz and Breaston is a good compliment to him. Boldin mostly works the underneath stuff these days and isn't someone who runs away from even LB but if you give him space he'll hurt you with YAC. At best we can contain this group.

 

Cards Oline is quite possibly worse than our Oline on pass protection. Their OT's routinely get beat on the edge. There is only one way to stop Warner and that is to get pressure on him. Carolina did it all game long last week but of course we don't have Julius Peppers on our team. This is the KEY TO THE GAME for us.

 

Cards RB: Hightower, good RB similar to our AP but not much of a threat you need to focus on. Beanie Wells however is a different story: size, power, quickness, and speed. Wells isn't fully up to speed so he gets about 1/3 of the carries but you will see the difference when he gets the ball. Bears need to note when he's in the game.

 

Cards DBs: Been playing better in the last few games and DRC can shadow anyone in the league but sometimes bites on double moves or play fakes. Overall you can move the ball consistently against them if you take what they give you. Adrian Wilson hurts people when he hits them but you can catch him out of position at times.

 

Cards LB: good unit, not spectacular but good all around. You will see them doing the exact same thing the Bears LB do before the snap--shuffling up into the gaps to blitz/fake blitz.

 

Cards DL: Dockett can get push up the middle but can also take plays off. Watch for Calais Campbell DE he's playing well coming off the edge and he's tall. However, his height likely help Pace when it comes to blocking. Pass protect against their pass rush and blitz and Cutler will be effective.

 

Overall: Their run D is solid. We need to pass protect for Cutler and he can find plenty of opportunities against their DBs. Forte won't have a good day but regardless we should run enough to make play action effective as their DBs bite on it. Our defense absolutely must get to Warner early and often.

 

 

 

 

A win would be huge and keep us in the hunt for the WC, but a loss essentially makes a playoff run almost impossible.

This is a game we should win...but for some reason will find a way loose it..

I hope that I am wrong. I studied the game so long last night I had to use eye drops and sit in the dark because of eye strain. I honestly think the Bears are going to get their asses handed to them today.

 

Our DL can stop the run (not an issue with AZ, they can’t run the ball) but cannot pressure the QB (big issue with AZ). Our secondary is ok versus an average receiving group, however, AZ’s receivers are elite. We for some reason have always had trouble covering RBs catching balls out of the backfield (Hightower has excelled at this).

 

Our OL could not stop me on a pass rush. Our OL cannot open holes for Forte and AZ despite giving up a ton of yards against CAR last week (who has an elite OL) is still one of the top units against the run.

 

On paper it appears we have a chance. I am usually the first in line at the Bear’s Kool-Aid booth but unfortunately when I went for a refill this week the booth was with a sign saying Out of Business. I suspect after this game, the Bear’s may be out of business also, or at least out of the running for a legitimate shot at the playoffs.

Our Dline is looking like its getting some early push. freak me, Tommie Harris messes up big time. We give up a huge 3rd and 10 and than a big run by Hightower and a dumbass personal foul.

freak you Tommie..get lost you asshole.

freak you Tommie..get lost you asshole.

Get someone in there who wants to play football. What an idiot.

I can't say this, but I have to. We are toast. Our D is going to get torched with Hunter out. They can't get in positions without him on the field and roaming the middle.

That was the most disgusting defensive series I have ever seen. Pure disgusting, I want to vomit. How many missed tackles can Tillman have? Absolutely freakin pathetic.

Great and now we have holding on the kickoff return. Could this game start any worse for us.

Thats why we got Jay Cutler. I want moreo f that in our playbook. Beautiful.

Wow what a throw by Cutler!

OMG we opened Cutler up to go down field and what a throw and catch

 

freak YES...Beautiful

That's what I want to see from our offense. Throwing the ball down the field. We have the weapons! The only thing I hate now is the fact that I took out Greg Olsen for Heath Miller on my fantasy team, lol..

freak YES...Beautiful

Thatsis what we haven't done in the past 4 to 5 weeks now. We must continue to go deep and test there DB;'s

Why is it that we can never run a successful trick play?

LOvie lecturing the D on the sideline. That 10 yard loss killed our offense. Cutler is so good. Wish he had some receivers that really knew how to ran routes and help him out when he scrambles. Its the little thing that our WR's don't do that well (they are young so hopefully they'll learn to).

Time to see how the D responds to Lovie's speach.

So far, not too well...

If the D doesn't stop them on this 3rd and 5 this game will be over before halftime.

And 1st down Arizona, LOLZ.

 

At least the Oline and offense looked better in 2 drives.....freak me...11 straight completions and a TD.

 

At least I got Fitzgerald on my fantasy team.

Game Over! We are officially the worst defense in all of football.

If not the worst, 1 of the worst. Please tell me why we are only playing single coverage on Fitzgerald.
