1. The Bear front 7 is a lot like the Raider front 7. The Bears are probably more talented overall, but it's not a huge difference. The Bears have the big bodies in the middle of the DL with good talent on the edges and a solid group of LBs led by a proven difference-maker in Mack. Like Burfict, he's a guy who flies around, disrupts things, and makes plays.
2. Vikes-killer Jordan Howard is gone and that should work to the Vikings benefit. I didn't see too much of the Bears/Broncos but I thought playcalling hurt them as much as anything in week 1 against GB. It will be interesting to see what they do tonight.
3. We will have trouble scoring on the Bears. Plus they create TOs. Rodgers put up 10. IMO they better stick with the ground game our Mack will strip Cousins. Plus our D needs to have a stellar performance. Trubisky hasn't had much success we better let that continue. If not we won't win. This game will come down to our D. If we get behind by 10 turn off the lights. We won't block that pass rush and at that point anything can up and non of it will be good. .
4.They need to rely on Cook. He's a stud right now and our OL can't pass block at all. Mack we be a breakaway train. To me our D needs to take it over. If they allow this QB to pass on them we don't have a chance. Shut the stiff down and run the ball. Cousins isn't good enough to beat them alone. Rodgers put up 10 points. I don't see Cousins and our O doing that. Zim needs to plan our O only getting 7. So he has some work to do. Shut them out and we win easy. Anything beyond 7 and we won't win.
5. It will come down to the OL blocking. If they let Mack do whatever he wants the ball will be on the ground. A QB who don't fumble like Case had how many fumbles and right from the start. This idiot OC we have better recognize that Mack can blow us up and adjust his micky mouse scheme to try an eliminate him from the action.
6.
Vikes should run on 1st and 2nd and if they get in a 3rd and long, run again then punt. If they attempt more than 20 passes Kirk will have 3TO. Just keep running and hope the D can keep us in the game. If we fall behind by double digits it’s game over.
20-3 bears
Ugh
7. Soldier Field hasn't been a great place to play for #Vikings, who are 3-15 in last 18 trips (2-3 under Zimmer).
8. I don't have confidence enough to predict a win. That defense is going to force Cousins to make plays in the passing game and he hasn't shown he can do that consistently against good teams.
9. If I had to put money on it, the Vikes lose by 10 points. Zimmer not only cant win tough road games, he rarely has his team ready to play. OMG, I think the Vikes will lose, I am a bad fan!!!
10. Goals: 1) Find an answer for Mack 2) Find an answer for Trubisky's mobility
I have looked thru about 5 Viking boards and they pretty much don't expect to win in Chicago. None are making outlandish predictions. Most expect us to focus on shutting down Cook. Most all think Cousins should not attempt more the 15 to 20 passes. Most also fear Trubisky outside the pocket and no fear of Trubisky inside the pocket.
