Bears: Week 1 Review / Week 2 Pick




Are we finally ready to start the NFL season?... Week 1 of the NFL season seemed more like week 5 of preseason for the Chicago Bears as they ruined 1st overall pick Andrew Luck's 1st career game. This was suppose to be a week 2 preview and not a week 1 review, but due to lack of time and real life - that is what it has become.

The .gif you see above is the 42 yd strike from Cutler to rookie WR Alshon Jeffrey who recorded 3 receptions for 80yds. Pure perfection- I could watch it all day- one of the reason it will repeat for as long as you're on this page. Anyways, he wasn't the top receiver as Chicago and the nation saw once again why Cutler and Marshall might be the best QB-WR combo in the game. Marshall finished the day with 9 catches for 119yds and a TD- Damn good fantasy numbers which should stay pretty consistent. Forte showed us all why exactly he needed to be paid, and the Bush did what he is suppose to do. Oh, and no one is talking about the O-line......that is a good thing.

Defensively, Bears are always hungry for turnovers and QBs. Defense got 5 turnovers (2 fum, 3 ints) and recorded 3 sacks. Tillman got hurt and his status is unknown whether or not he will play against GB, but I would like to applaud the work of our secondary. Tim Jennings showed that he was a much better player than last year and on Sunday he showed us how much he had improved. Conte and Chicago-born Hayden were good in coverage and in tackling.

Anyways...like I said, that game seemed more like a preseason game but a win is a win. Now all the focus is on Thursday night and the team's whose fans put cheese on their heads. Seriously, that's just stupid - Cheese is for eating, not for wearing.
