We're on to the Bears.

Rogers only threw the ball 23 times last week against the Bears. The Pack ran the ball 30 times for 133 yards (4.4 ypc). Not exactly sure why Green Bay only had 53 offensive snaps... however, seems to me that if there was a game where the Cards rushing attack could come to life, this could be it.

What injuries do Jefferson and Bucannon have? Never mind it says Jefferson has a hammy issue and Buc has a groin issue.

I watched the John Fox interview earlier & realized where you were getting this from.

Notes from Chicago Media ^

Additionally, there is some grumbling in Chicago media about Gould's kickoff depth Week 1. Not impressive. Could be a big factor if our return game can set up good field position.

Didn't Rolle pick off Palmer 3 times in one game when Palmer was playing for the Bengals? Weren't they all Pick 6's but one got called back due to a penalty?

I'm curious to see how the Cardinals Defense bounces back against the short dump off passes and screens to RB Matt Forte. Stopping Forte will be the key for the Cardinals Defense IMO.

I'm also curious to see how the OL plays on the road with crowd noise.

Jared Allen is now playing OLB... And he'll be lined up over Big Earl much of the game I would imagine. Really big test for Earl.
Of course, if we can establish the run game against a questionable front 7, we can keep Earl from having to deal with Allen on a bunch of obvious passing downs...

Wow I didn't realize that was Palmer. Yeah, it would have been a record - 3 pick sixes. Instead he just tied it. And the block was completely legal - at least then it was. It was the first I remember anybody ever being flagged for a blindside block.

I hope Tyrann follows Forte around, tbh. Alshon is questionable for Sunday so pretty much Forte & Bennett will be their main weapons.

Yea, I remember that game well. Rolle got robbed.

I think (hope) time has finally caught up with Mr. Allen.

Go Cards!!!

Run, run, run, play action dagger, run, pass.

 

[Capital Card]

Run, run, run, play action dagger, run, pass.

I think that plays right into the Bears strength.

I see us spreading the field out wide and deep big time and letting Fitz and CJ exploit the gaps. Running game won't show until the 4th qtr.

Go Cards!!!

Agree. I think Thesmel will lose it before halftime.

Carson played Chicago twice as a Bengal. Once in Chicago in 2005. Bengals won 24-7 with CP 3 td 0 int. Again in 2009 in cincy. Bengals won 45-10 CP 5 TD 0 int. Cutler 3 ints.

I did see per the bottom of screen scroll on the NFL Network that Palmer's career record against the Bears is 3 and 0 .

Antrel Rolle was playing for the Cardinals at the time.

Jared Allen isn't what he used to be. He's lost a step or 2 and that's from when he played for the queens 2 years ago so I don't see him as too much of a concern, but obvious passing downs still pose a threat no matter who you face.

Thanks for all the write ups.. Enjoy reading them FYI

Not only that. But he is now playing OLB as the Bears have made the switch to 3-4 despite not having the personel for it. It's Jareds first time in a 3-4 and playing OLB

I also found this how Hall broke a INT record against Cutler.

I will be watching Big Earl this Sunday. He was pretty solid last week with a few flaws to work on. If he can keep building on that and have a good game against Allen then Massie may be riding the pine when he gets back.

Nobody has brought forth a Bold Prediction thread for the Bears , so I will hijack kerouca9s thread to post my prediction .

Last week I predicted our Cards would beat the Saints by a double digit margin .
This week I predict our Cards will beat the Bears by a double digit margin .

Try against the Giants.

 

[WildBB]

I,ll be interested to see if Palmer continues to implement the TE's in passing situations and how Arians utilizes them during the game along with double TE sets.

We kept an awful lot of them on the roster.
