Thanksgiving and the Bears

First of all I want to say Happy Thanksgiving because I won't be posting a blog when it actually is thanksgiving, tomorrow, in case you are calendar deficient. I am also going to preview the Bears game this sunday. It will be a tough game and no doubt it will be very close. So lets get at it. (very interesting wording)
Lets start with the bad thing for the Bears, the offense. Cutler has been playing well recently. He is playing smart and making really good decisions. Yet, he might crack because they are playing a tough team. Cutler is a very unique player in that he needs confidence or he throws interceptions, but if he has too much confidence he will make a mistake. He needs to find that perfect balance in order to be good. And for parts of the game against the Vikings and Dolphins he found that balance and that is why he played really good at those times. Forte and Taylor have become a bit of a dynamic duo and together have built a pretty good running game. We have built a pretty good offense as long as everyone plays as well as they can. This doesn't have to be our weak-point but so far this year it has.
Now the good thing the Bears defense. They have been really good this year. They played really well on thursday against the Dolphins. Peppers was a beast with 3 sacks and the defense had 6 sacks overall. That may have been because the Dolphins offensive line isn't the best, but the Bears pressure is still very good. We have had many interceptions in the past two weeks also, I'm too lazy to look up the stats, but I know they are good. They will be playing a very explosive player in Vick, so lets get into that.
The eagles offense will be hard to face. Vick has had a great season so far after missing three of the games. He had a great game two weeks ago and there is a chance that he could have another game like that. Like I said before our defense is good, but no matter what you do with your defense he will attack it a different way. The thing that makes Vick really good is that if your defense tries to stop him from running he will throw really well and if you try to stop him from throwing he will run on you. He is a great player and he is back. The Bears can stop him if they don't try to necessarily stop one aspect but try to stop both.
The eagles defense is a defense that I don't really know anything about. I know they are a pretty good defense. I don't know if they are good enough to get Cutler off his really good track, but they will make it tough. They might make it tough for forte and taylor to run the ball well, I'm not sure. This is the thing that I will need to pay attention to the most when I watch the game and this could make or break the game.
After looking at all this I'm going to be a homer and say the Bears win. But, if they give up the game they will lose. They could easily lose this game. The eagles are a good team and if we don't take them seriously they will beat the pants off of us. With a win this week people might take the Bears seriously for the first time this year. Bear Down.
