Anyways, I've got massive respect for the Vikings--Zimmer, Cousins, Cook, etc. Got a solid opinion on this game I'm not going to share. At least until after it's over. That's the lovely Kate Beckinsale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the run defense on the other hand against Cook is another story. 1 You're probably right about that. The weakest spot on our team is the interior defensive line, so even with a #2 in place of Hicks, you can probably do some damage collapsing the pocket. You may not even need the exotic blitzes to do it. We are just weak there. You're also right that Cook can be a handful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 I'm going with 16-13 Minnesota. Their defense is pretty good and the Bears are likely going to be without Hicks (or at least a healthy one) and Gabriel. Long's hip is an issue too. Pineiro is still hobbled. I hope I'm wrong because a loss will be tough to overcome. 0-2 in the division and both losses being home games would leave them in a tough spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I think this game will be not so high scoring. Lots of good defense. You guys have given us a lot of problems in the past, but there is no way around it. The Bears are just a tough team to beat. Quite a turnaround from even 2 years ago. I'm impressed! For Chicago, I think getting an early lead and forcing Cousins to pass will be key. This takes pressure off Trubisky, eliminates Dalvin Cook and likely means turnovers a plenty. For Minnesota, its about controlling the game with the run and putting pressure on the QB. The Bears like to get cute, and if Zimmer can't adjust, it'll be a long day for Vikings fans. I see a good game on the horizon. Can't wait. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAF-N72EX Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Vegas seems mostly undecided but slightly favors the Vikes by half a point after HF and I can't really argue with those odds. I hope the OL shows up this week because they're gonna have their work cut out for them trying to give Mitch time in the pocket. Like Vegas, I'm not sure who to pick in this one. Flip a coin. But I do know that a win here will be HUGE! Get loud CHI-TOWN, get loud! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was listenting to ESPN earlier tonight, they were saying PFF (I know, I know) has the Bears graded as the #8 line in the league this year vs. the Vikings at #24.

I've been on record saying that they have been better than most units in the league based on games I've watched. However, that's not really my concern. My concern is how much they have seemingly regressed from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
