Bears fans, how do you see this game turning out? I think in order for us to have a chance in this game, we need to establish a run game. I hope our coaches see what Adrian Peterson did yesterday, and consistently feed Westbrook/Buckhalter/Hunt. Our receivers will not be able to get off the bump of your corners at all. The secret is out on our receivers. They are not physical enough to break free, unless if we get Hank Baskett and Jason Avant more involved.
Our defense has been playing well all season. Minus Thomas Jones yesterday, our run defense has been lights out so far (We only gave up 34 yards to Jones in the second half yesterday). We've been making good second half adjustments on the defensive front. Also, I'm planning on Lito Sheppard to be back next week, but I'm not sure about Dawkins. His neck stinger seems to be a mystery regarding his return. Some people are actually saying that it may be career threatening, while others are saying that he could be back on the field next week. The prognosis for his injury is just all over the board.
I see this game being a defensive game. McNabb has struggled against Cover 2 defenses in the past (think Tampa and his favorite receiver Ronde Barber). I think the X-factor in this game for us will be LJ Smith/Brent Celek/Matt Schobel (our TE's). They're going to need to be McNabb's security blanket in this one, considering our receivers are going to get abused all night long. The guy who scares me the most for you guys (as he should) is Hester. I can just see Andy Reid going into the game with the "It can't happen to me" attitude and actually kick to him. This game should be interesting.
My prediction:
Bears: 20
Eagles: 14
