I forgot, where are your niners right now, oh yeah preparing for the draft.
He shone pretty well last time, just didn't find the end zone:Chicago 13, Carolina 3Steve Smith will shine this time![]()
Cats 24 Da Bears 13![]()
I think that's just a testament to how close everyone thinks this game will be. It's an awfully tough game to pick. Both teams are going to roll coverage to the star reciever, so it's going to come down to the Justin Gage's and Bernard Berrian's of the world rising to the challenge. I think they do.Bears 20 - Panthers 10I'm surprised to see this game get so little attention from my fellow FBGs.
10-10 game in the 4th...
Rex goes down.
Orton comes in and leads Da Bears to a game winning field goal!
13-10
Bears
The Bears are 7-1 at home, and with the execption of the only loss, an Orton 5 int Cincy game, no opponent has scored more than 9 points in soilder field this year.September 18 vs.Lions W 38 - 6I don't believe that Carolina will be that ineffective at scoring points
The Defense of course!I don't see who scores points for Chicago.
[namath]I guarantee that the Panthers will score more than 9 points.no opponent has scored more than 9 points in soilder field this year.
Recieving = edge panthersRushing = edge BearsPanthers...they have a far better offense in both running and receiving.
Does it matter who advances... only to go to Seattle and lose?I'm surprised to see this game get so little attention from my fellow FBGs.

Against the Bears they will.The fact is, the Bears offense has been bad this year, so they play a field position game.Carolina = #8 scoring offense. Carolina doesn't need yards to score.

You are assuming next week's game will be played in Seattle. I'm not so sure.Does it matter who advances... only to go to Seattle and lose?I'm surprised to see this game get so little attention from my fellow FBGs.![]()

Chicago 17
It'll be settled this weekend...you'll see who has the better running game.Recieving = edge panthersRushing = edge BearsPanthers...they have a far better offense in both running and receiving.
The Bears have the 5th ranked rushing offense in the NFC and *th in the league, while the panthers are ranked 10th in the NFC and 19th in the league, so I can't see how you would say that they have the edge rushing. Both Thomas and Foster have a 4.3 ypc avg.
Foster has really had about a 3.5 or so avg untill tha last two weeks where he has gone off on atlanta and the giants. Jones's yards have come , despite the fact, defenses that knew the Bears were going to run and they had 8-9 guys in the box. I am by no means saying Chicago has a great overall offense, or even a good one, but their running game is good, very good. The Bears also have great depth at RB, with Peterson and now that he is back, Benson, so if things don't work out with Jones for some reason, we have two solid alternatives.
Really?? ya think???What's the sig bet gonna be???It'll be settled this weekend...you'll see who has the better running game.
Why yes, I am. Not to hijack this thread, but:Seattle 31You are assuming next week's game will be played in Seattle. I'm not so sure.Does it matter who advances... only to go to Seattle and lose?I'm surprised to see this game get so little attention from my fellow FBGs.![]()

What's the verdict? Even with the Bears All-World defense...Carolina still outrushed them.It'll be settled this weekend...you'll see who has the better running game.Recieving = edge panthersRushing = edge BearsPanthers...they have a far better offense in both running and receiving.
