Gamble doubtful

Look for Panthers CB Darius Butler to get the start in place of Chris Gamble (concussion).

Time for Butler to seize the moment.

I hope Butler does a great job and gives us a solid number 3 corner. Depth is critical to any defense these days. I would love to see him play well on Sunday. It is a big opportunity for him.

ugh

poo.

Eh, not good. Bears are too pass happy to feel good about this and the Panther secondary is about as mistake prone as it can get. Too many big plays given up.

Hopefully Butler has improved from his prior starting days.

Injury Bug is hitting us extra hard this year. Really glad the Bears don't have a legitimate #1 WR. I think the Captain and Butler will hold their own against Hester and Knox.

Eh, they have Roy Wlliams, but he's meh-ish. If there is any week to have a dinged up Secondary, this is it, as they also don't have a threat at TE. Forte in the screen will the biggest threat in the passing game.

I think last week was more ideal.....considering they were a run O and the bears are a pass O.

Knox and Hester both average 20 yards a catch......that isn't an ideal matchup for a Panther secondary giving up more long passing TDs than any team in the NFL.

Forte leads them in receiving yards this is a good game for gamble to chill on the sidelines and heal up.

Truth. I'm worried about Matt Forte, you know hes going to get the ball early and often. Hopefully we can do a better job on him than we did on MJD.

Marion Barber makes his Bears debut also....when healthy, he does pack a punch.

:lol: when is that?

Just be very careful of Johnny Knox. I'm not too worried about Hester.
