Bears at Baltimore

[tsylvester]

Not sure I can honestly call this team the Ravens, seriously, they certainly haven't "played like Ravens", they are clearly not talking like Ravens, and now, if reports are true, they are not even thinking like Ravens. I don't even think baby birds would chirp and whine as much as this group has over the bye week.

Lamar, will he play, won't he play? He missed practice Monday and Tuesday, but he was reportedly at practice today. Maybe the hamstring is healed, who knows, those things are as pesky as a tummy that cant handle spicy food. Speaking of which, Lamar was caught out late earlier this week, getting some good food from a truck, spicy food, yeah, the kind that has had his tummy tumbling round & round in the past. So maybe the hammy is fine and his thrown is calling.

Who wins? The Baltimore team is favored, last I lookesld, by 6 pts

Last year's team, sure, this year's team is scared by the sound of the wind...

So, who ya got?

I'm going to go with the Ravens leaving their funk behind and winning a close one. Just a gut feeling.

I think the bears win and big.  Detroit shoved it up our ass.  They are still running Ben Johnson’s offense.  I’m sure he took major interest in that tape.  He was oc when we smashed them a couple yrs ago.  Like Houston who decided to embarrass us bc we humiliated them I expect Johnson to do 5he same.  I expect swift to run wild.  I think he will look to shove it up our ass for his slice of revenge.

Bears are only letting up 22 pts per game, 2nd in the league. They are 16th against the pass, 212 yards per game, but a whopping 137 on the ground, 25th in the league.

Seems, just as against the Rams, Henry, early and often, no matter who is qb for the Baltimore team

[papasmurfbell]

And you run swift like crazy and don’t let Henry on the field.  

[tsylvester]

Yep, should be a short game, may break a record for rushing yards in a game. 

[papasmurfbell]

I don’t trust our ol.  

[tsylvester]

I expect more of Bullock & or Cleveland in this game, should open holes even you could run through 

[papasmurfbell]

Interesting.  The bears lead in to differential.  We like to turn it over and also not get any for ourselves.

[tsylvester]

Yeah, Henry, Flowers & Rush, the lawfirm of turnovers will often skews stats

[papasmurfbell]

Don’t forget Jackson.
