Water Cooler Talk: How Bout Them Bears

The Chicago Bears got a huge road win last night 34-18 over the Cowboys. Here is the least you need to know about that game

This was a game about errors- especially for the Cowboys’ offense led by QB Tony Romo who threw for 31 of 43 yards and technically had three touchdowns– only two were for the Bears. Those two pick sixes plus three other interceptions were a large part of the loss.

Other problems for the Cowboys was a lack of conversion during third down plays- and those are critical for getting the ball in the end zone.

But Bears’ fans y’all quarterback Jay Culter had a hissy fit on the sideline when later in the second quarter after a drive that resulted in a punt goes to the sideline and completely ignored his offensive coordinator Mike Tice. Unprofessional behavior by Cutler and the Bears coaching staff needs to do something about it. Put him in time out- I wouldn’t accept that from my four year old and I wouldn’t accept it from a grown man either! Cutler did throw for 275 yards making 18 out of 24 attempts and two touchdowns.

Bears and Packers Meet Up Tonight

No matter if you say Da Bears or Go Pack Go this game is always a good match up due to the history of these programs. This will be the 185^th meeting between these two teams. It is the longest running NFL rivalry.

Both teams played Sunday with very different results.

The Bears played against the very youth filled Colts and won 41-21. Highlights from that game include what seems to be an improved offense– of course the ball was taken away five times, but QB Jay Cutler passed for 333 yards and Brandon Marshall has become his favorite target. Marshall had 119 yards, and scored a touchdown. For years this was a defense first team but it appears that the offense is ready to come out and show what it can do. I am not holding my breath however as this offense last year was converted only 33% of third downs last season. Plus the o-line allowed the QB to be sacked 49 times.

Green Bay on the other had is typically a monster when it come to offense. Last season Packers had a 48% third down conversion percentage. They only threw eight interceptions compared to the Bears 20. But Green Bay is coming of a lost at home to the 49ers. And Green Bay’s defense is suspect- they had problems with it last season and I think it is going to be worse.

According to the AP Pro32 power rankings, after the 49er loss the Packers fell two games behind the Bears. And these divisional rivals do not get another chance at each other until December.

So who is going to win?

Right now Green Bay is a 6 point favorite. I tend to agree. You can’t look at last week’s win over a very young Colts team as a sign of a championship run. And Packers you should look at the fact that the 49ers came to your house and well we know the outcome. Still the Packers have the edge here, look for the Packers to win.
