I'm a big Bears fan and last week was so close to call yet they won. I'm a little scared not that they are against the undefeated Titans. Should I give up hope now?

I am from the future. The lost. Sorry bro.
If Orton plays they have a chance. If it's Rex, I doubt it.
Well, Orton's doubtful, so it looks like Rex. A guy that never gets rid of the ball behind a line that isn't as good as it's looked (Kyle's quick release and the way he doesn't waste a ton of time...he either hits an open man, or just gets rid of it have made their pass blocking look better than it is) against a good pass rush...doesn't look good this week.
It should be close, though...Chicago's run defense has played well, and pounding the rock is the Titans bread and butter.
Yay! A sure loss for Chicago!
that statement blows my mind .... six months ago no sane person thought that Kyle Orton and the neckbeard were the answer.Quote:

I suspect the Bear defense could play its best game of the season, since they'll be spending more time defending the rush (their strength) and less time having to rush the quarterback (their current weakness).
Regardless of the QB (I can't imagine that Rex doesn't start this game), it's going to come down to Matt Forte and the Bears' D and ST if the Bears want to win.
I think the Bears will actually pull this one out, in a very, very close game.
Bears by 3!
Rex will play his best game as he wants to show he deserves to be a starter. Forte will run for over 100 yards. The defense will force at least 3 turnovers!
Well, if the Titans truly are "undefeatable" (which, I guess, would mean the same as "unbeatable"), then yes, cubbiebear, you should give up hope.
I don't think the Titans will go undefeated this season and this could be a trap game for them. The Bears are no slouches, but like Arctic said. A tough pass rush against a QB who has never played consistently well.
But maybe the great Rex will show up...
Also, let's not overlook the fact that the Titans defense has been DESTROYING people this year. Haynesworth is a lock at this point for Defensive Player of the Year. They're rushing the passer well, they're stopping big running plays, and their no name secondary is knocking down passes all over the field.
Yeah they control the line really well
Fumble on the goal line.
Grossman sucks
Bears lost! W00t!
Anyone want to hear my guaranteed successful investment advice! :pQuote:

RickD, you can make that same prediction in 3 weeks when the Vikings play Chicago! :)
This game was a massive disappointment for Bear fans. Yet another game this season where the Bears come up short against one of the elite teams in football.
It's worth noting that the 4 teams the Bears have lost to this season have a combined record of 28-8. In 3 of the 4 losses, Chicago led for most of the game, and into the 4th quarter.
Beyond the fact that Rex Grossman couldn't hit open receivers and overlooked the underneath options (particularly Forte), and the Bear pass defense (which looks worse and worse each week) was unable to stop the Titans from moving the ball, there was a lot of questionable offensive play calling. The Bears had multiple 2nd and 1 situations where they handed the ball off to Forte instead of taking shots down the field.
I still think the Bears are the best team in their division, and will show that in the coming weeks by crushing Minnesota and Green Bay.
As for the Titans, they're a very good football team (obviously). As always, Jeff Fisher manages to get this team to overachieve. I don't see them going undefeated (I predict 14-2), but they're certainly one of the two best teams in football currently (Giants), and will be a very tough out in the playoffs.
Well, you guys will get to prove yourself if you are the best, since 3 of the last 7 are vs. GB and MN. For the Vikings, we have the toughest schedule of the 3 remaining teams. How much longer is Orton supposed to be out for you guys?
He'll definitely be back for the game against the Vikings.Quote:
