I'd like to know what people expect out of this game this weekend... who do you feel will be the stand out player, will any rookie's make themselves noticed?

I feel like David Gettis is the rookie that is ready to have a break out game and step up. He's slowly improved every game, he's getting open, making great catches, making the "should be" catches too.

Your opinions?

i just expect to see an improvement from the guys. only one in specific is clausen. other than that i'm just willing to wait and see. i want to be surprised.

I expect both teams to score atleast once. Plus gettis breakout ftw

I expect a breakout game for the defense..maybe a defensive score. The bears oline is gaudy and collins might not have all the timing down needed. Offensively, obviously we expect Clausen to improve at least a little every week. I also expect the running game to continue to improve.

I'm hoping Armanti and Clowney break out. But I have two wildly different sets of "break out" for each of them.

For Armanti I hope he plays with confidence and doesn't look like a chicken with his head cut off. I'm looking for maybe one or two plays that justify the praise he gets for his explosiveness and athleticism. I've only seen him at camp and the during the preseason and I'm hoping he'll be somewhat comfortable with NFL speed by Sunday.

For Clowney I hope he can adjust to our offense and add some "veteran-ness" to our offense and use that incredible speed to add something to our WR corps.

Above all I want the team as a whole to add onto what I thought was a good foundation last week. We have shown that we're not absolutely horrible and now its time for everyone to put their Big Boy Pants and get that Dub.

I expect a win, If we don't turn the ball over we should win. The Bears are without Cutler. Clausen has to play well. I like Gettis also, thought he was better than LeFell when I saw the two in the preseason.

I wanna see that wu tang dance

yeah, we need to see that in a panther uni.

[cdandi1]

i'll take any td dance at this point.

I think Anderson will continue his onslaught and have another good game. He is even doing a better than Beason. I think this has a lot to do with Beason.

Clausen will improve in the clock department, and the passing department, but I forsee an INT in his future Sunday. Perhaps a sack/fumble too. The Bears shut down our run game, but Kasay saves the day with a FG and a win for the home team.

Bradshaw put up 129 at 5.6 a carry with 1 TD and Jacobs (SUCKS BTW) had 62 at 10.3 a carry with 1 TD......I really think we can run better then those two. Big day in the running game and if Clausen can hit a few good passes this weekend......We may have a WIN!!!

I hope we can. Before that NYG game, the Bears gave up NOTHING on the ground. Like 30 yds a game or some crazy stat. Now it's like 77 yds a game. I think they'll retool and get their act together. This game is going to be on Jimmy.

Det did not run well against them, however they had two rushing TD's against the Bears.
Dallas was "Pass Happy" passing all game and for some reason passed for 51 times to 18 run plays.
Packers had 18 penalties that made them have to throw the enter game to get back into good "Down and Distance". (Plus it was the B. Jackson experiment.)
NYG was the first team that actually tried to run against the bears with 29 run plays to 30 pass plays.

You may be correct about their Run-D but it seems to me they have only had one team really test them this (early) season.

[rayzor]

bears seem to have been just plain lucky their first three games and that luck ran out on the fourth. hopefully ours will finally start to kick in this game.

we should run the ball down their throats...i just don't know if we'll be able to effectively. the whole thing depends on jimmy being able to get the passing game going just a little bit to get the defenders out of the box. until he can do that i think we're going to be stuck. we are going to have to have 3 receivers going out on every play as long as they are only getting single coverage and jimmy has to be spreading the ball out to them.
