No Favre No Problem. Rodger That?

Sure maybe the Bears won't have to play against Brett Favre this Sunday, but we are still are going to have our hands full. Green Bay is excited about their new quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, who just signed a multi-year contract with the Packers. The guy was the back-up for Favre and Green Bay has high hopes for his potential. He certainly is a force that has contributed to Green Bays' record of 4-5- one game behind the Chicago Bears. I don't think he will ever be the player Brett Favre has been, but he is someone the Bears' defense has to keep an eye on.

The Bears will have to take care off all those bad habits they have showed in the last two games and defend their lead of the division. The Bears' opponents have managed to capitalize on every mistake the Bears have presented to them. In the game against the Titans, the Titans' offense at first resisted to only throwing the football, but after they realized that the Bears were constantly stuffing up all the holes for their runningback they decided to throw the ball 90% of the time in the second half. The result: The Bears defense never adjusted and the Titans come on top winning the game. The Bears defense must adjust and close on the holes the cornerbacks and safety's are leaving open for the opposition's' wide receivers to make
huge yardage.

The Bears are currently ranked 30th in the league in pass defense. If they wish to take on the Packers they need to tighten up their defense against the pass. Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers is known for not being afraid to let the ball lose and go for a big touchdown throw.

On the hopeful side, Kyle Orton appears to be the starter for the Bears. He has had a couple of reps this week and has been placed as probably for Sunday's game. No matter who is quarterback on Sunday, one thing we should expect out of the offense is running the football and more accurate passing. The Packers do a poor job against defending the run so this is something we should expect and see this Sunday. Whoever the quarterback is must connect with their receivers. Too many times the Bears' wide receivers were wide open but Rex Grossman failed to deliver the ball.

Prediction:
The Bears are going to be fired up for this game especially coming off a loss against the Titans. I believe the Bears expected a whole lot more than what happened at the end of the day against the Titan's last Sunday. I feel they are going to want to prove to themselves this Sunday against their rival opponent that they are a force in the NFC North and teams cannot overlook them. Bears will win in front of the Packers fans. It going to be great. Bears 31 Packers 19.

GO BEARS!!!
