Sounds like he will still get some solid playing time though

[UMFan83]

I don't know why but I have a feeling the Bears win today.

 

Something like 35-24

maybe because a decimiated Bears team is still better than a dumpster fire Vikings team?

[rawaction]

i think the run D holds up respectably today. Peterson gets 100, but it will be tougher than most expect. Watch out for Cordarelle Patterson in the passing game. Bears don't really matchup with him well size/speed wise.

 

On offense, gotta block Robison better than last time. Forte has a big game. WRs and TE all have 70+ yards. Hester either breaks one or has a long one. Probably a close game because of the Bears D. But cut down on the penalties (well called game would help refs) and don't turn it over and the Vikings can't beat us.

Double white safeties? Uh oh

[Guest]

Wow, Peppers untouched.

[Banedon]

Billick telling us about Chris Tillman.

[Guest]

Sweet, penalties on top of a negative return.

[rawaction]

Just fair catch and don't block.

[Careless]

The Hester experience, 2013 version: they're talking about how he's the all time return TD leader while he runs backwards, falls over, and a penalty is called on his team.

[BigSlick]

literally cannot remember the last time we had a special teams play without a penalty

[rawaction]

Wow, Peppers untouched.

Good idea not letting Kalil block him.

[Careless]

literally cannot remember the last time we had a special teams play without a penalty

kickoff was 4 plays earlier

[BigSlick]

Jeremiah Ratliff on the field!

[Guest]

Henry Milton, eh Billick?

[rawaction]

Hey new guys on defense looking good.

[Guest]

PASS RUSH!

[BigSlick]

Wish the Bears D could play the Vikings every week

[rawaction]

No penalty?

[UMFan83]

No penalty?

 

they must have missed it, im sure there was one

[UMFan83]

McCown looking meh so far, although the Vikings pass rush not making it easy on him.

[BigSlick]

ouch...you can see McCown wind up like a pitcher and put everything he could on that and it still..wasn't good enough

[rawaction]

Ugh. Gotta score first. Would be nice to actually try. Podlesh is ass!
