Can you talk about coming off of this big win and having to play against the Bears’ opportunistic defense?

“Yes. Very good on defense, on a short week, all those things, on the road. Obviously history has not treated us well in Soldier Field, so obviously we all want to be able to go up there, play well and get a win. I know the Bears are coming off of a tough loss in the division, so they are going to be ripe and ready to play us. We need our best, there’s no doubt about it. I think this week, a lot of it’s about recovery from the game, preparation, just being really really sharp, getting your bodies ready to go, and then getting your mind right to go up there and battle it out and get a tough win.”

Is it a tough game coming off of a Monday night into a short week?

“Yeah, it always is, especially when you know just the type of game it’s going to be. It’s going to be a physical game. They’re a physical team; they do a lot of things very, very well defensively. You see it in the way they play, what they preach. It’s all about flying to the ball, hitting you hard, trying to get the ball out. They do it better than anybody in the league, so it’s something we’ve got to be prepared for.”

It’s a very generic but popular theory that teams tend to play better at home than on the road, and especially a team with your kind of offense. What’s true about that and what’s false about that?

“I think you can say the weather conditions, turf versus grass, and especially like Soldier field, that’s not like going and playing on grass in Arizona. It’s thicker, it looks like it’s going to rain there all week so it’s probably going to be a muddy, kind of nasty surface. You just have to be prepared for all of those things. The game, just as far as in and out of your cuts, maybe things are a little slower. You just have to account for all of those things. As long as you know what to expect and you can prepare for it, I think that you’ve put your mind in the right place.”

I think the weather is not suppose to be too bad. I hope playing on grass does not slow us down too much.

the bears ground crew will run the sprinklers.

We will run slower routes in the mud...........maximum protection.

I suspect that this game they will try to cover up Marques and Jimmy and make someone else beat them. We will need to get Watson and the other receivers more involved.

The more I think about it, this is a must win game. Bears have giants, redskins coming up after this and after going to GB they have lions, ravens at home then go to rams and vikings. Then they have cowboys at home, and go to Cleveland and Philadelphia, and host GB last game. This team is they beat us could go 13-3. I would wonder if we could win in a rematch in Soldier Field in January if we lose Sunday. Though i feel bears will lose to giants but I'm not confident they will lose to the redskins and browns on the road.

Inside, outside whatever will beat them.
