Week 4: Eagles at Bears, 7:15 central on NBC

[jersey cubs fan]

Sunday Night Football in Soldier Field. Philly is favored by 3 and I am actually a little surprised it wasn't more. The Bears pass defense is very easily shreddable, this one could get ugly in a hurry, and if they do fall to 1-3, they are going to have to pounce on the next four opponents, all winnable games, to stay in the race.

[Soul]

Bet on Philly.

[UMFan83]

Bears 17

Eagles 13

 

Everyone starts wondering how the Bears can move the rest of their games to Sunday night. Book it.

[rchap24]

McNabb will tear our defense apart

[Sammy Sofa]

Start Rex.

McNabb's looked meh the last 2 games, Westbrook's status I believe is up in the air as well.

I'll take "Meh" McNabb over Orton every week...

 

But yeah, this game scares me more than the Colts game did.

For whatever reason even Meh McNabb picks apart our D every time he plays it

I don't know what I was thinking, I got fantasy Donovan mixed up with real life Donovan in my mind. He wasn't great but he was good against Dallas.

 

Also, McNabb didn't pick apart the Bears last year when we beat him. Again, he was decent but not good or great (21-34, 226 yards, 1 TD)

yeah I'm wrong about last year...I'm thinking of him against us in the playoff a few years ago...That game was pathetic ha I'm talking about the Bears team with Jim Miller we got destroyed in the opening round by him.

That McNabb is about 5 injuries away from the current McNabb. He's still a really good QB though. Just not one that's going to rush for 600 yards anymore.

[Soul]

A bigger issue than McNabb might be Philly's stunt-driven defense confusing and dominating our subpar blocking schemes.

 

24-10 Philly.

Agree and That's probably sound about right with the score :good:

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm more convinced the Bears suck

[YearofDaCubs]

Bears lose.

[Guest]

Start Rex.

 

Unleash the dragon...

[stuy119]

With Westbrook out for another week, I see McNabb having to pass to win. Of course, I can't see the Bears stopping him at key times, since their pass D is abysmal.

 

Philly 13-3.

[rickrolled]

Eagles 24, Bears 10, Rex makes his return, I yawn...

[Guest]

Am I wrong in thinking Beekman has done relatively well this season?

 

It'd be great if Williams came in later this season and makes a contribution too.

[Butterscup1679666578]

After watching Philly's D rip Roethlisberger a new one, I fear for Orton's life on Sunday.

It could be a bloodletting on national TV unless somebody figures something out double quick.

As someone who has gambled on football, I can say that more often than not the obvious pick doesn't play out that way.

I guess hope springs eternal.

 

I'll watch until we get down by 10. Then I'm moving on to other more pleasant things.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not planning on being up too late on Sunday to watch the end.
