Week 5: Bears (2-2) @ Panthers (2-2) Noon Fox/780

[rawaction]

Cam Newton isn't as crappy a thrower as Kaepernick or Geno Smith. If the Bears sit in a zone all day, he'll pick them apart just like Rodgers did. Hell, just like Manuel did (and nobody talks about) in the opener.

 

The offense should probably try to put together 2 good halves too.

 

Cam isn't anywhere near Rodgers' level. I had to look up what he's doing this year. It was kind of surprising to see some of his #'s: pretty good completion percentage. 9 completed throws over 20 yards. Only 3 TD passes though, probably relying on the running game alot down by the goal line.

 

Still though, I'll have to see him beat us like a rag doll like Rodgers did before I believe it. HUGE knock on wood.

 

I wasn't saying he's as good as Rodgers. I was saying that most NFL QBs will pick apart a basic ass zone. Hence, the following sentence about Manuel, who completed 73% of his passes against a Bears D that got very little pass rush and sat in zone coverage all day.

Bring sulley into this wooo-Fest

 

Nah he usually stays away for a day or two to sober up.

If you want to call out Tucker I've saved a spot for you.

I'm gonna try to be shocked every week by a Bears win because whenever I start to feel good about this team I get let down.

 

 

31-24 Panthers. Newton does his best Superman impression.

Chris Williams will finally get shot in return game. #Bears promote him from practice squad and place Rashad Ross on waivers.

I don't know much about ELO but it appearantly thinks the Bears have the worst chance of making the playoffs of any NFC North team: http://53eig.ht/1yyaNFi

[minnesotacubsfan]

ELO just doesn't want to be brought down

Makes sense. Good division, with no teams under .500 and the Bears lost a home game in the division. That can swing things in a big way.

very big considering they had the best odds last week (although the Bears, Packers and Lions were all pretty close)

#Bears WR Brandon Marshall on @insidetheNFL: "These past few months, I really haven't talked to the media at all."

 

 

um... huh?

Hahahaha what in the hell. I know this is obvious but I want to lay it all out

 

-Marshall said this on a weekly tv show which he is paid to...speak to members of the media

-He also signed with ESPN 1000 to alternate weekly with Jay Cutler on his weekly radio show

-Finally let's not forget the 45 minute press conference/rant he went out of his way to hold

 

Brandon Marshall....who you crappin?

 

People someone call this in or email it.

[Guest]

i'm hoping it was sarcasm that zaidman just missed

[Banedon]

My guess is that he's talking about specifically talking to the media immediately postgame, but even that isn't true...he did a joint postgame with Jay that got a lot of coverage, because he kissed Jay's head, and Jay was texting while Marshall was talking.

[minnesotacubsfan]

The way this season has gone, I just assume he's talking about dead bodies

 

:(

Yep, I agree with that.

 

Also I can't remember who but someone had predicted this before the season started and we all (myself included) thought he was crazy.

 

Guess not.

Bears signed some dude named Teddy Williams (no not the baseball player) to the active roster to play CB...

I would guess his role will be involved more on special teams.

Speaking of corners, hopefully McMannis can go because I don't want to see Frey in the nickel.
