Monster's of the Midway?

The Chicago Bears started the season off with a less then impressive controversial win over the Detroit Lions. Who I remind you lost their last twenty plus road games dating back to the 2007 season. The only bright spots of the game was Julius Peppers hit on Matthew Stafford that knocked him out for a few weeks, and lance Briggs fumble recovery on the half yard line in the second half. Very bright spots in this despicable game. If it was not for the controversial call in the end zone, the Bears would have lost that game and would have been the laughing stocks of football.

1st down- what were the bears thinking this off-season when they went out and got Peppers, Martz, and Taylor w/o getting help with some wide receivers and a better offensive line. Cutler might have to get a good pair of running shoes because he will have to scramble a lot this year. Lovie never show's emotion no matter if the Bears are losing or winning. Like Dennis Green said "The bears are who we thought they were" except this year no one will let them off the hook. Sorry Chicago fans but if Lovie does not lead his team to the playoffs, management probably will fire him. His successor might be one of his hand picked coaches Marinelli, Tice, or Martz.

2nd down- The bears d-backs are some of the worst man defense players in the NFL. They DB's are use to playing that cover 2 scheme defense and not covering their man all the way down the field. Major Wright could be the Bears best draft pick on defense since Brian Urlacher. Hopefully the Bears can utilize their potential here with him, and make him a force soon.

3rd down- when will Lovie Smith realize that his ten year old defense is not that effective no more? The Tampa bay Cover 2 has run its course already, it was great ten years ago. The bears need to go another way with their defense, maybe a little more man coverage will help. Blitzing more can do some damage, since Peppers demands a double team every down and Briggs and Urlacher hits the holes fast.

4th down- Lastly, the bears need to fully utilize Mike Martz and let him throw some trickery into the offense. A bunch of fake passes and more imagination can really help the offense. The defense needs to stay off the field as much as possible, this will help them for the latter parts of the season.

Prediction against the Cowboys- The Bears can possibly win this game if they minimize their turnovers, keep the defense off the field for long periods and pressure on Tony Romo. Plus the Cowboys are coming off a lost on Sunday night football to an impressive Redskins team. So this is a very winnable game.

The Bears can drop the "Monsters of the Midway" theme and just call themselves the Bears... simple.

Until next time sports fans......BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
