Yeah, I hope the game plan dictates the receivers at least get a chance to do something. The Panthers are allowing 83 rushing yards per game and Howard is averaging less than a TD per game. The Bears offense may have to find another way to put points on the board.

Wow... The Kool-Aid is flowing. The Ravens offense is crap, hence our defense looked better than it actually is. Their defense is pretty good though, but their safeties played 2 deep a lot, which helped our running game rush for 200.

Chico is going to take away the run and continue the exotic blitzes. The only chance we have to shut down is to take away their run game and do things to get into Newton's head as he runs a one dimensional offense. It's certainly possible that we can overcome them. But the odds are against it.

Every home game has been a one score game.

Panthers 23
Bears 17

Edit: Kuechly being out has to change things for me. We really have a fair chance in this game now. It really boils down to our ability to frustrate and contain Cam. I think we will to some extent. But I don't know.

Bears 20
Panthers 20

We go OT, but we either turn it over or miss a long FG while our D holds them. I'm calling a sister kisser this week. :-P

Now that Cooper is back I’d like to see them use Fuller as a spy.

Bears catch Carolina banged up and Cam with no rhythm:

Scoring for both will be by defense or from very short field provided by defense.

Bears will most likely lose this one. The Panthers defense is stout against the run this year and I'm sure they will be successful in forcing the Bears to pass the ball more than they'd like to.

I think in doing so, Trubisky will make some rookie mistakes and gives the ball away (sort of like the Minnesota game).

Panthers 24
Bears 13

I think the only chance the Bears have is winning the turnover battle. Meaning if the Bears can force the Panthers into early miscues like we did against Pittsburgh - then we might have a shot. If not, I think it's going to be a tough game to win. The Panthers have better talent and look to be the better team.

I can't wait to see this week's big trick play! Every single game sense Mitch been playing they draw up a couple of these and been impressive each time. I wonder if the conservative crap Fox is known for is why they get away with it but than again it is the players execution that makes it work to. Definitely a great time to be a bear fan, got a new Qb an some promising rooks to, and I like this Loggains fella, he seems to know how to game plan an make adjustments, hope bears keep em or make him head coach an keep the Fang for DC.

Hope they kill Cam to, sick of that trash talking show off.

Keep Cam in the pocket, and we will win. Floyd, Pernell, Acho, Irving. If you cannot beat your guy, at the very least, keep contain. I'd say keep Danny down as a spy, but he can cover to well, so use CJones or Timu. Whoever is in. Both Benjamin and Funchess are miss matches from hell. Lots of press-man coming.

Offensively, I'd like to see about 25-30 passes thrown. Their secondary is meh, and Luke Keuchly is likely out. JH gets 25 carries. TC gets 15.

Bears - 28
Panthers - 22

Kuechly out is big. I just wish it wasn't from a concussion. The dudes a stud and is so fun to watch flash around and make tackles. Three concussions in as many years is never a good thing.

And what’s really scary is that he’s not suffering these concussions from obvious massive hits to the head.

The Trubisky hate is real, folks...

Trubisky isn’t going to wash out of the league or anything. An “average” NFL starting quarterback can often get 6-10 decent years out of the league. But former Clemson star Watson – drafted No. 12 in that 2017 draft by Houston, while Trubisky went No. 2 overall to the Bears – is going to be the standout quarterback of this class. He will be considered a franchise quarterback. Ultimately, Trubisky will not be.

My reasoning on Trubisky is not based on his decent athleticism or his fantastic arm. It’s based on the most important statistic – the fact he didn’t win enough in his one year as North Carolina’s starter.

Remember, Trubisky ran an absolutely loaded offense in Chapel Hill – far different from this year’s UNC team. Yet in his final four games, he lost to Duke (3-6 at the time), N.C. State (5-6 at the time) and Stanford (without Christian McCaffrey, who skipped the bowl game to avoid possible injury). UNC finished 8-5 in a season in which the Tar Heels had the talent to go at least 10-3.

Trubisky too often couldn’t convert on the final drive when he had a chance. Chicago fans saw an example of this in Trubisky’s first NFL start, when he threw a bad interception in a 17-17 game with less than three minutes to play deep in his own territory to set up Minnesota’s game-winning field goal.

Bears worked out a left-footed punter this week to get their returners used to the Panthers' lefty. Interesting.

That "loaded" UNC team is about to go 1-7. Did everyone graduate?

Fuck this guy.

Loaded UNC team, lol.

All 5'9" of Ryan Switzer being their best offensive weapon who has no catches and one rushing attempt in the nfl.

I wonder how many guys in their first year as a college starter struggled at the end of the season when DCs had adjusted to them. And then went on to play better in their 2nd and 3rd year as college starters. Oh yeah, Trubisky never got that chance. And then to look at one bad play in his first NFL start and add to that same conclusion.

What a pile of rubbish.

That's good. The defense will probably need the injury time out to catch their breath.
