Rattle Rex, if he has time, he does make some pretty good passes. He's not that bad of a QB, he just makes stupid nervous mistakes when the pressure is on. If we can sack him, he is prone to fumble.

BLOCK. There were quite a few plays against the Eagles where we didn't block well, Stecker especially. And while we're on Stecker..........don't throw to him on 3rd in the end zone. Karney would've caught that pass.

Pound Duece. 143 yards against a stout Eagle D line, I think he can reach 100 against the Bears.

Someone, PLEASE help Thomas out there! If I see him blow a coverage like that again, I might cry. Those are the plays that cost games. Burress against the Giants, Stallworth against the Eagles. We cannot have that. (and don't think Rex can't hit Berrian or Muhammed 40 yards out without a gold jersey around for 15 yards, cause even AB could do that!).

Everyone else seemed to play awesome, and the play calling was stellar!

I think the key to this game will be the weather. If it's raining or snowing, it's gonna be a REAL tough time, and if the wind isn't too bad, Drew can explode. Colston is due for a big game.

Except an ill advised pass to Reggie in the flat (which EVERYONE was looking for) and a certain option 'pitch' play late in the game when we were trying to run the clock down.

Lots of play action... and going down the field from time to time. We will have to open it up to keep the D back and honest. You can't tell me they are not game planning and really going to concentrat on stopping our run game.

First, I would take Billy Cundiff out to dinner every night. On his napkin would be the words "Keep...away...from....Devin."

Stick the receivers at the line of scrimmage every darn play. Jam 'em up. Blitz Grossman until he has fleur-de-lis's tattooed on his jersey. He is an errant thrower when it counts and this game counts. the linebacking core will have to be sharp to anticipate everything.

First I'd try like hell to score a couple of TD's quick to put added pressure on the Bears offense.
I'd blitz Grossman often early on, hit him a few times and he'll begin his bad play, doesn't take much.
Run Deuce wild, early and often, pound the ball , something will have to give..
No pitch out to Bush are anyone else.
Line up 4 wide-outs to spread the Bears defense, some one will be open.
Have a long talk with Thomas before the game.
Wear two layers of thermal underwear.

To make it short and sweet

Pass on first and second down

Run on 3rd down

The Bears COUNT on predictability - saw it all game vs. the Seahawks. Overly agressive against run on early downs, drops everyone back on passing downs. Sean Payton will put on another football clinic like the Dallas game.
