One Down Three to Go

The Bears played a much better game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They took control of the game with the first turnover and converted touchdown pass from Kyle Orton to Desmond Clark (Clark's first TD of the season). The Bears won 23-10.

The Bears defense did a terrific job against defending the run which was a big strength of Jacksonville. The Bears defense was able to contain Jacksonville's two solid running backs Jones Drew and Taylor to a combined 108 yards rushing. The total yards passing allowed by the Bears defense was much less this Sunday than last Sunday's game against Minnesota, but there is still room for improvement. The majority of the first downs completed by Jacksonville came by the pass. The Bears need to tighten up the pass if they expect to beat higher quality opponents such as the New Orleans Saints.-the team they will be facing Thursday night.

The Bears offense played much more like how I expected them to play. Orton was a little more calm and the plays that were called spread out Jacksonville's defense and allowed Orton to really mix up plays with less hesitation. Just as I suspected the Bears' offense connected early and more often to tight ends Desmond Clark and Greg Olsen. This and the Matt Forte's yardage opened opportunities for the wide receivers to gain some yardage and allow the offense to better manage the field.

The Bears have four days to work out their kinks and heal up because there are three games to go and we are going to need every single one of them. Minnesota won against Detroit 20-16 which still separates them a game from the NFC title. All the Bears can do is to keep winning.

GO BEARS!!!
