To Beat the Bears

[Woodman]

We gotta play a smart balanced game.

Win the turnover battle.

Never take any opponent lightly.

[TacklingDummy]

Got no chance. Ask Opi and Canadian douche.

I lost my head for a minute. :cheers:

[Novacane]

They need to win one easily. My heart needs a week off. This should be that game.

Its away after winning a close game. Dont be surprised its clsoe.

I'm enjoying how we're getting Hines and of course Cook more involved that has to continue .... you win as a team.

Was also nice to see Cole Beasley get a catch hopefully he gets more targets next week.

[Woodman]

Its away after winning a close game. Don't be surprised its close.
Hey we just won another close game ! :cheers:

[Goobylal]

...they just have to show up.

[Night Train]

Too soon.

Violates the 24 hour rule.

The players and fans get to enjoy the still warm current win.

[Mad Max]

Frazier better stop their run/Justin Fields just broke 1,000 yards on the ground.

do that and win easily

[Woodman]

It all starts with stopping the run !!

[Mace]

Its away after winning a close game. Dont be surprised its clsoe.
At this point the Bills will surprise me if it's not close. Bears have the number 1 rushing attack before this weeks games. Makes me wince, Not taking anything for granted.

[sukie]

Dorsey.

notice how drives move systematically with the chain gang absolutely winded when they attack the center of the field?

the out routes with the need for perfect placement kill me.

whenever they play between the numbers… first down. Easily.

[Woodman]

Do we spy Fields?

[Mad Max]

Do we spy Fields?
Just crowd the box. If it comes down to an air game between then and us who you taking?

[Woodman]

Just crowd the box. If it comes down to an air game between them and us who you taking?
Always us !!

[Forward_Lateral]

Stop the run. Make Fields pass.

Basically use the same script you used vs Lamar.

[DraftBoy]

Focus on the offense and scoring consistently and we should win by double digits. Defense can stay in its basic Cover 2 and should have enough talent to get us enough stops to win the game.

Nothing really special needed here.

[trapezeus]

This is the kind of game where a strong offensive showing lets out base defense excel. If we are up 10 or more, bears will feel pressure to score faster and will look to pass.

If we let a long kickoff to start, it just gives them momentum and hope. And it will be a slog.

[Night Train]

Once again, weather a major factor. Looks like big snow storms hitting Chicago for 2-3 days before the game. Might be a struggle just to get the team there.

So the weekly predictions of "winning easily" will again disappoint, based on a total rejection of weather factors. Some never learn.

Fields has rushed for 1,000 yards and the RB's are also good. They have lost 7 in a row but have kept many games close. I saw the Fins gash the Bills running the ball.

Just win the damn game.

[Chet]

Just crowd the box. If it comes down to an air game between then and us who you taking?
This. None of that 2 high ****, this offense can’t pass to save their lives. Key on the ground game all day. If they get lucky and hav3 success over the top, you live with it.

[Kenny]

If we can score early and often, this will be a blowout. If we keep it close, then I'm actually a bit worried given our soft defense. They kept the score pretty close with Philly.

Agreed with everyone here though... crowd the box and keep a spy on Fields.

[Woodman]

Too soon.

Violates the 24 hour rule.

Is now good?

Bills vs. Bears opening odds: Buffalo favored by nine points


The Bills have won five straight games and have their destiny in their own hands. They lead the division and the conference after a 32-29 victory over the Miami Dolphins (-4) (https://www.thephinsider.com/)

The Bears have not had a great season, but quarterback Justin Fields has been the bright spot of the entire year. His growing pains also come along with the flashes of why they drafted him. But the team has not put the best talent around him, and they have struggled to win games. They are competitive every week, but their three total wins will tell you that they have difficulty closing out games. But they are competitive and play hard against teams week in and week out.

[Woodman]

Crowd the box and Spy fields seems to be a consensus.

It looks like the weather could be an issue once again.

[notacon]

Try to contain Justin Fields. He is an elite running QB.

TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. Keep Cincy game out of your heads!!!

I'm a Patriot fan this week. :snicker:

Cinci is now missing two very key players on their DL.

Hubbard and Hendrickson.

[TacklingDummy]

Move the game to Detroit.

[Woodman]

Our home away from home !

A chance to go 3-0 would be great !

[Goobylal]

Yup, sell out to stop the run early and make Fields pay when he does, and when they keep scoring on their weak defense they'll abandon the run and the Bills can pin their ears back.

[Oaf]

Bears will look to pound a light defense btw Monty (who went one pick before Motor), Herbert, and Fields. I bet they average over 5.5-6 ypc. Then they'll toss a few jumpballs to Claypool etc. Bend but don't break on TDs.

Score 23-27 pts on offense and it should be ours.

[Bill Cody]

Hard to pass in high winds

[Woodman]

No Claypool !

[Woodman]

Hard to pass in high winds
Farting is as well or was that walking ! :snicker"

[Forward_Lateral]

It's simple.

Build a lead, stop the run at all costs. Make Fields beat you with his arm in that wind. I highly doubt he can.

I think Josh will be able to do pretty much what he wants in this one.

Play smart spread the ball around and lets get this one in the win column.

[Goobylal]

No Claypool !

They have no passing game. All they have is Cole Kmet and St. Brown and they're nothing special. Certainly no Hill, Waddle and Gesicki.

Looks like the forecast is 20-30 MPH winds along with blowing snow at around 10 degrees temperature…although we have a Cyborg at QB he’s still 3/4 human…we’re gonna need to run the ball FAR MORE than we usually do…and then score tuddys in the RZ as Bassomatic won’t be viable outside of maybe 30 yards (maybe not even that).

[Woodman]

St. Brown is out !

Bears put Jaylon Johnson, Kindle Vildor on IR

The Bears ended the seasons of two of their cornerbacks on Friday.
Jaylon Johnson (https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/60064/jaylon-johnson) and Kindle Vildor (https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/60215/kindle-vildor) have both been placed on injured reserve. They will miss Saturday’s game against the Bills as well as the final two games of the regular season.

[Night Train]

-6 in Chicago. Let's play football.

[Canadian'eh!]

This is the easiest how to all year:

stop Fields from running.

[Woodman]

Play smart aggressive football.

No turnovers.

[Novacane]

Stack the box and spy Fields with two if we have to. He's not going to be able to pass in that wind.

[Novacane]

So far they look surprised by Fields rolling out. Real genius Frazier.

[Woodman]

Get the ball to Cook!
