-Fellow NFC North team, the Vikings, joined the 1998 Chicago Bears as one of four teams to have a lead at halftime in their first three games and then go on to lose in route to a 0-3 start

:bears: better Rivera and Olsen.

 

[marky mark]

cover two is designed against a scrambling QB... i feel good

 

[BNB]

we should/better win this game.

I feel confident that we can shut down their offense... if they put up over 24 points and win the game... the Bears better start firing everybody

 

[Bearsfanfillereste]

Bears should be able to get a win in this game, if they cant do that...

 

[Gunzaan]

Bears victory. The Panthers might put up some points/yards in the 4th quarter as the Bears go prevent defense to protect the lead.

Bears 27 - Panthers 20

 

[Scoot26]

I think the Bears will win, I also think Greg Olsen will have the best game of his life (Typically when a former Bear plays against his team again).

 

[B18]

Just like last year gt forte involved early and often and it will be smooth sailing. Bears better bring their mitts, because good ole' newton will lob up a few.

 

[JackieJokeMan]

If we dont win this we can kiss our ass goodbye.

This is all about RUN THE BALL.

Keep newton off the field.

Yup, look at Micheal Vick, his ass couldn't do shit against us. Also I think we go on a streak in October. I just don't think we lose to a team like the Panthers, if we do, which will win imo, then its time to give up on the season.

lol, yea just look at Brandon Lloyd, Kyle Orton, Rex Grossman, and Thomas Jones have had pretty good careers so far after they were Bears. Grossman isn't having a good career but he is doing pretty good so far after he has been given the starting nod.

The Bears will win. It's kind of like last season where they are getting better as it goes along. The problem is that they haven't had the luck of last season so far this year.

An angry Bears team goes off this Sunday, Bears win big.

I see Forte having a HUGE day. No Jon Beason in the middle of the Panthers' defense? I'd run all day.

What team have you been watching last 2 years?

 

[TheChicagoFan]

I wouldn't run all day, but a little balance would be nice. Sure, Forte wasn't good against Green Bay but that's because he only had a few chances and hasn't run very much all year. Give him a chance, Martz.

Forte wasn't good against Green Bay because there was zero blocking against Green Bay. Martz I think would have actually tried to run the ball if the Bears could actually gain some yardage.

If we don't win.. I'll be pissed.

[Scoot26]

So sounds like Chris Harris and Earl Bennett will still be out.
