Bears D has cooled off of late and GB is always a threat to put up monster points. Anyone benching Bears D for a better matchup play? Considering SD (vs Car) or Mia (vs Jax). Thoughts?

I would almost certainly go with Miami vs. Jacksonville over the Bears.
The Packers were available in one of my leagues- think I would roll with them over Chicago as well.

I don't think either are terrible starts...especially if you get big points for sacks.Though...if Clay is out...I would not trust the Packers D to get sacks...even against that OL.They do, usualy, pick Cutler a few times though.

If Matthews and woodson come back I think gb is a great play. If not, I am playing det

Shutout

Just a gut thing but I don't see Detroit putting up big team defense points this week. I know you have to lick your chops after last week but those kind of things don't tend to just keep happening every week. Yeah, there will be sacks and a pick or three but I can't see another shutout at home and the chances of defensive scores can't be that high in back to back weeks.'need2know said:

i agree. part of me wants to play GB over det regardless because I know cutler will turn it over and I think gb is starting to play some better def as a whole. if they get woodson/mathews back could be great. detroit has been awful all year even though the matchup is sweet with arz, still nervous about rolling with a below average defense in a semi final playoff game...

Rotoworld considers them a must start. Not sure I can disagree there.
This all hinges on Jennings. If he can play on Cobb they can contain the packers. If Hayden is on Cobb or Tillman has to play Cobb and leave Jennings with Hayden that secondary will get burned. On Dec 9 Jennings was targeting a return this week.

Mathews is on track to play. I am sure cutler is happy about that

Every site I have seen ranks the Lions above the Bears this week.

Get to Cutler early and often and he's done. The Packers young DBs have been playing well, and Williams will do fine on Marshall, so if Woodson sits it no big deal, IMO.

Cobb loves the slop. It's in his bloodlines. His father was a mudder, his mother was a mudder.

Ya not sure how that helps Chicago at all? Personally I would think they would want the best field as possible to keep it a lower scoring game with the defense being able to cut better to keep up with the WRs.'Kleck said:
Since when does good field = low scoring?Games played on astroturf (the least-sloppy field imaginable) have always been known as promoting high scoring, high flying offenses.

It's not a bad bet with Lindley starting for the Cards as you are guaranteed at least two picks. They're a middle of the road defense going against the worst offense in the league. I just can't trust them.ETARegarding Jennings, Bears coach Lovie Smith said the cornerback is getting a lot better but still held him out of practice today."

Detroit is not an average defense -- more like a bottom-ten defense, maybe even bottom-five.
That said, all the injuries on the Chicago D really worry me. I'd like to see both Melton and Paea on the field before I can trust them against a team that's finally learned how to the run the ball.

Have the Bears, Pats, and Denver in one league where we start 2 D's. I haven't benched the Bears all season..but think I have to this week.
Bears inactives:
Bears: LB Brian Urlacher, CB Tim Jennings, WR Earl Bennett, DT Henry Melton, LB Geno Hayes, DE Shea McClellin, QB Josh McCown
Ugh.
