Madmike90 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 VS Week 3: Bears vs Steelers - 24th of September 2017 - Chicago High: 89°F | Low: 66°F - The Place... Trivia... All Time Record...Bears led the all time series 18-7-1. The last meeting took place on 22 September 2013 with the Bears running out 40-23 winners. Two of the greatest Bears of all times ended up here because of trades with the Steelers... On the first day of the 1964 NFL Draft, the Bears traded their second- and fourth-round selections to the Steelers in exchange for Pittsburgh's first-round choice the following year. With the picks they acquired from the Bears, the Steelers chose Notre Dame receiver Jim Kelly at No. 28 and Jackson State tackle Ben McGee at No. 51. Kelly played just one season for the Steelers, catching 10 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown. McGee had a more successful career, being voted to two Pro Bowls in nine seasons with the Steelers. But the Bears spent the No. 3 pick in the 1965 draft that they had acquired from Pittsburgh on Illinois linebacker **** Butkus. The Chicago native was voted to the Pro Bowl in each of his first eight NFL seasons, was selected All-NFL seven times and is still considered arguably the most ferocious defensive player in league history. Butkus was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1979 and had his No. 51 jersey retired by the Bears in 1994. Before the 1938 season, the Bears sent end Edgar "Eggs" Manske to the Steelers in exchange for Pittsburgh's first-round selection in the 1939 draft. The Bears used the pick to take Colombia quarterback Sid Luckman at No. 2. Luckman not only led the Bears to four NFL titles during 12 seasons with the team from 1939-50, but he played a key role in revolutionizing pro football by helping to introduce the "T" formation. Luckman was voted All-NFL five times, led the NFL in touchdown passes three times and was named league MVP in 1943. He was selected to the NFL's All-Decade Team for the 1940s and threw a league-record seven TD passes in a 1943 win over the New York Giants. Manske returned to the Bears midway through the 1938 season and remained with them through 1940, when they crushed the Washington Redskins 73-0 in the NFL title game. Stat Leaders...

CBears019 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'm expecting this will be ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 My guess is this game will be one of the nails in John Fox's coffin. This is an elite team talent wise and they are going to feast on Mike Glennon. Steelers 31 Bears 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Simply put, they need one of either Long or Sitton to play (preferably both) in order to stand a chance to run the ball and keep this game within reach. Otherwise forget it. Hard to contain an offense like the Steelers who have so many play makers but I'm not as worried about the defense. They can hold their own as long as the offense doesn't hang them out to dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you on this projection. I fully expect the Bears to be blown out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears019 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'll be working during this game, likely driving home from Iowa during the next game, working the following game. I have yet to sit down and watch a Bears game this year and won't for a while. And given their current state, I'm not all that disappointed. And that kinda sucks to think about. I miss the days when my entire week was essentially planned around watching the Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'm going 31-3, Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has no reason not to absolutely stack the box every play, because Glennon is like the worst or second-worst QB in the league in terms of their longest completed pass through two games. I can see the Bears defense holding up okay in the run game, but the Steelers passing attack will destroy them if there's no pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Can I also make a prediction for next Thursday? Packers, 48-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 You cannot give the Steelers multiple opportunities to score. 3 and outs and turnovers will get shoved down your throat. Give Ben the ball over and over and they will score points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ_11 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Ooooo the Markus Wheaton revenge game. I can't imagine that we'll be as bad as the Bucs game, however the Steelers are a better team than Tampa and I expect them to take this one pretty comfortably. Steelers win 28-13. I just wanna see something promising in this one, maybe we get the run game going, maybe a few sacks, maybe a few of those turnover things we've heard so much about. I'm just sick of games being over then it's just pure negativity for a week, just give us something. This week's first positive: That photo of Soldier Field is an absolute beauty.

We'll have a revenge game every week until we win, Josh Sitton week 4, Deonte Thompson week 6. SOMEONE WILL GET THEIR REVENGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nads786 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I think we are shifting our expectations way to far on the negative side. This is still a week to week league and Pittsburgh is not some elite next level team. I think we hang with the Steelers til the fourth quarter and then someone blows a defensive assignment (Looking at you Eddie) followed by a classic Glennon urinating down his leg pick in double coverage. Steelers run the clock out with multiple third down conversations. 23-30 Steelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
