Here's a little primer for this week's game:

Week 8 Tale Of The Tape: Chicago Bears At New Orleans Saints « CBS Chicago

Re: On To The Bears
 

this should be a great battle in the trenches.

Re: On To The Bears
 

I think we put up another 50. Too many defects with the Bears.

Fifty Burger Time!

Yummm!

Re: On To The Bears
 

This game is gonna be a test for the Saints run defense. Chicago runs the ball a lot. They're tied for 3rd for most rushing attempts over 6 games at 212. So far they're only had average success at 4.2 yards per and 4 rushing touchdowns. The defense could see long clock eating drives all day. We could see how the defensive rotations hold up.

I think it's funny that this author speaks highly of Chicago's defensive improvement but then says the Saints D has a long way to go. Chicago's allowing 21.6 points/game and the Saints are allowing 22.2. Only 6 tenths of one point difference.

Re: On To The Bears
 

Those averages include the points allowed on offense and special teams. I saw a stat earlier (can't find it now) that had the Saints' defense allowing the 2nd fewest points in the league over the past four games to only the Jags.

Re: On To The Bears
 

If they are truly one-dimensional like they say, or if we can MAKE them that way (force them into a passing game) they cannot win.

Another trap game? Surely not...

Re: On To The Bears
 

We clamped down last week after halftime adjustments. But, the best way to force the passing game is to jump out to an early lead. Make them play catch up. And then take advantage of the rookie.

Re: On To The Bears
 

Hopefully I can catch this game on the cruise. The ship has a sports pub.

Re: On To The Bears
 

That would take some research on his part. You're expecting too much from a sports journalist.

Re: On To The Bears
 

The Bears defense is really, really good. Guys like Akiem Hicks, Danny Trevathan, Adrian Amos and Eddie Jackson are having some phenomenal games. I look for it to be a little tougher to move the ball than we think.

Re: On To The Bears
 

Agreed - but Drew Brees isn't Cam Newton either.

I don't think we'll hang a 40 burger on that defense, but considering how horrible they are on offense we "should" be able to make some things happen.

Re: On To The Bears
 

Agreed, I expect about a 27-17 game.

No freaking way we even put over 30 on that Bears defense with their run oriented offense.

Do you butt-bumpers even watch football?:p

Re: On To The Bears
 

I think we hit 40 plus. Their defense is good but ours is no joke either.

Re: On To The Bears
 

At least there is a little more film on Trubisky for the Saints to watch than there was on Hundley!

Re: On To The Bears
 

True.

Re: On To The Bears
 

Spar with 'em early without the turnovers, then put em away and don't let up until the home flight's wheels are coming off the ground!!!

Re: On To The Bears
 

Man it feels good to be able to read that and believe it.

Re: On To The Bears
 

This going to be "hit you in da mouth" game. Really would've felt more comfortable if we had Walford. At least we still have Unger



#DaBears* D hasn't allowed an offensive TD in their last 9 qtrs & are the only NFL team to not allow an offensive TD over the past 2 wks. ��⬇

Re: On To The Bears
 

Going to be a tough game and need D to show up. Bears D is good and I think QB Mitchell Trubisky could be a Smith type tough QB, he has leadership skills.

Re: On To The Bears
 

This should be a good game. Hey Mitch get ready for the SAINTS!!!!

Re: On To The Bears
 

Bump ... Da Bears talk.

If John Fox is ever going to let Mitch Trubisky come out and play, the Saints are it - Chicago Tribune

Re: On To The Bears
 

This writer is a moron ...

Re: On To The Bears
 

Haha

Someones has not been keeping up with events outside of Chicago.

Like the fan that looks at a box score and make his opion on who sucks.

Re: On To The Bears
 

We have the 4th ranked offense in ppg and ypg...

We have the 23rd rated D in ypg and 16th rated D in ppg...

When we won the Superbowl we had the 20th ranked D in ppg and the 25th in ypg

In '09 we were ranked 3rd in the turnover margin; guess what we are this year so far? (5TH)

So we have a better defense than we had when we won the Superbowl!

We also have the 11th ranked D in total defense and the Bears are 21st...

Re: On To The Bears
 

That maybe true on paper

But redo them stats after week 2 and the team ranks far higher. No surprise a team that was full of new players and rookies struggle out the box.

Lost our best DT from ladt year
A new DE
3 new LBs
New safety and finding a starting CB

Re: On To The Bears
 

Have you guys watched any of the Chicago WR's as of late? If the Saints can effectively play good run D, make the rookie one dimensional the Bears are done. They have no down field threats.

I take no NFL team for granted but Trubisky won't beat (Bears rank 30# in offense) this Saints team with his arm.

Re: On To The Bears
 

Exactly.

Re: On To The Bears
 

Re: On To The Bears
 

Kick them while they are down and pound them into submission. Knock their mouth pieces out on every play and wear them down mentally and physically.

Re: On To The Bears
 

The Panthers owned them except for the turnovers.

Re: On To The Bears
 

I think we'll stomp the Bears. I have Mitch on my fantasy team and he's probably my QB of the future just like the Bears but the future will have to wait until after this game for sure.

45-16

Re: On To The Bears
 

Re: On To The Bears
 

Don't stop believing.

Re: On To The Bears
 

Bench Mitch this week.

Re: On To The Bears
 

If the bears get a few tipped passes on us, they'll win. Trust.

Re: On To The Bears
 

Another game the Saints SHOULD win.

Hopefully the Saints won't repeat the Detroit game and let the Bears hang around!

Saints 34-17
