We'll see but no defense is playing better than the Saints

One bad game erases 4 stellar games before it?

Bears D is ranked 6th in the NFL - Saints are 10th.

The problem is the Saints D gets to face Bears 30th ranked offense, while the Bears get to deal with the Saints offense which is ranked 22nd.    Looks about even to me.

I think that was the sentiment heading into the game with the Vikings.  I believe the whole social media world is bubbling because Mitch through the bad pick against the Redskins, followed by the sack, fumble, injury, no fumble against the Raiders.  any good will generated in the 2nd quarter against the Redskins was immediately rinsed with vinegar and epsom salt.

I hope Trubiksy plays and ends the drama...

Yes, one bad pick followed 3 TD passes.  I'll take that every Sunday. 

As for the Viking game - Trubisky played what?  6 plays? 

And many Bears fans are advocating trades for Eli Manning, Matt Ryan and Cam Newton.  There's only one way to shut them and the media up...at least until the next game.

I just hope Trubisky can come out and be serviceable.  Thats all.  Well that and the D has a chip on their shoulder and comes out smelling blood in the water.  I would like to see Teddy Bridgewater pooping his pants personally.

Agreed, but that is what is driving the whole media storm about Trubisky and the Bears.  This game can't come soon enough.

Remember... wishful thinking thoughts...

I can wish and hope all I want, but that doesnt guarantee is a win. I may wish 16-0 but that doesnt mean it will happen. In fact I had superbowl thoughts before the season began. Now it looks more like a wet dream.

Are we missing a first round pick next year as well? We seriously need some picks to get this team some linemen. I think best we can hope for is 9-7 and that's being optimistic at this point. More likely 8-8 or if things really go south, 7-9....

Actually, Pats are #1 defense (points AND yards).

As for SF, I will give them credit for being 5-0.  They beat the teams they were supposed to.  But a closer look at their opponents records.  Not one team on their schedule that's now above .500.   Rams were the best team they faced (Rams are 3-3).  But the rest of their schedule is a bunch of 2-4 teams (Cleveland, TB, and Pittsburgh) and 0-6 Cincinnati.

Defense is a lot easier when you're offense is putting up big numbers, which is the case with both SF and NE.

They're playing great but they aren't rushing the passers like NO.

Saints have 18 sacks, 5 fumbles, 3 picks.

Bears have 17 sacks, 8 fumbles, 4 picks.

And Bears have played one less game.

Saints have solid O-line and D-line, it will be a tough game no doubt.

We are counting on Gabriel to get our offense going....  Oh brother we are in trouble.

I am counting on Nagy shelving his offensive pride and hoping for a better offensive line performance with Coward replacing Long.

Love it:

No lawsuits have been filed (yet), but advertisements have been purchased.

Via ESPN.com, billboards have popped up in the Detroit area showing a referee wearing a cheesehead hat and jamming a fist into his chin.

The billboards, which protest a pair of illegal hands to the face penalties that fueled Green Bay’s come-from-behind win on Monday night, were purchased by the same anonymous group of fans that have leased billboards objecting to bad calls or free-agent defections in the past. Three times in 2015 the group funded roadway messages regarding more bad things that have happened to a long-suffering franchise and fan base.

IMHO this is a barometer game for the franchise and where it currently is and where it is going to go....

Nagy has to figure things out and get the O playing to at least average NFL level.....

Trubiski has to show something this week (or at least not be as sucky as he has been so far this season)....

The Oline has to suck it up and actually not be so terrible....

Not as worried about the D but the Roquan thing is troubling....

I get the feeling that this season is on a razor edge of going either totally down the tubes or starting the claw its way back up...

Pack/Vikings running away with the Division (they've looked better all around in all their wins than the Bears had in their 3). I don't think they will be one of the wildcard teams so they have to win their way in. Tough row to hoe for sure.....

Season on the brink. This is usually when the Bears either blow it or blow out their opponent.

Go Bears......

I think Coward is going to make a huge improvement in the Oline, which should help Mitch and the running game, fingers crossed.  I hope Roquan snaps back into form, as he wasnt that great in London.  If the D can get back to smothering and attacking, I think we can pull off a win.  We shall see.
