Minnesota at Chicago
If Minnesota plays how they played last week then there should be no problem. Give Peterson the ball early and often, and let him rack up some big scored and make the opposition play catch up. McNabb still didn’t do much though, and the Vikings didn’t do much after the first quarter. If they expect to beat Chicago this week they can’t just play for the first quarter of the game and expect it to be enough. Throughout the game Peterson is going to need to get a lot of touches, and a lot of yards. McNabb needs to finally have a good game, and maybe Chicago will crumble.
I’ll continue to stand by my thoughts that Forte is the Bears offense, and I will continue to think that it is going to work. Cutler is a decent quarterback, nothing special, but when he has the ability to just toss the ball in a dump off to Matt Forte, or hand it off to him in the backfield there’s not too much that could go wrong. Forte makes magic happen, and he exploits various weaknesses in the same defense throughout the game. Unfortunately Jahvid Best got 163 yards on the ground last week, and Jahvid isn’t close to being as good as Adrian Peterson. The good news is probably the fact that the Bears were planning for Stafford to Johnson, and not Best running through them, where as this week they’ll have planned to try and stop Peterson.
I think the Bears rely on Forte and a defensive game plan that focuses completely on Peterson to really take this game and hold it in their hands. The Bears losses this season have come to the last two Super Bowl champions and the Lions, they’ve been plagued with a tough schedule, and I think that they hop back on track this week.
Forte leads the Bears in an NFC north victory 24-17
