    Why all this love for DA' bears?

    I'm not seeing the angle where the public is overwhelmingly on the Bears. If your taking the Bears please tell me your angle and what i'm missing.

    Arguably the best passing attack vs a not great secondary. Chicago seems like they're good for at least mid 20's, don't know if I can say the same about the Jets. Jets at home didn't exactly dominate the Raiders. I can see Chicago having more success running the ball than most against the Jets, because NY really has to respect the pass. Meanwhile I don't know if the Jets can get in the endzone as they tend to settle for field goals, which probably won't work here.

    Aside from a fluky opening twenty minutes, the Jets were out scored 28-3 by the Packers.

    Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself into taking the bears. All these pluses for the bears.. Forgetting how bad cutler is? They couldn't use that "best passing attack" against the bills at home .. Should've lost to SF aswell. Jets ML.

    Cutler has thrown for more yards than any other QB in the 1st two weeks. Also tied for 1st with Peyton Manning for touchdowns thrown.

    Thanks, for your insight poolside and your avatar.

    - Bears 2 offensive lineman out.

    - Bears WR's A. Jeffery hamstring B. Marshall ankle.

    - Bears -7 lose to Bills.

    - Bears getting snot kicked out of them till refs stepped in and changed direction in 4th. Should be 0-2.

    - Trestman is a one trick pony, he will sit Cutler back and make him hit the long ball when the real plan should be 2 step drop and deliver the rock and shorten the pass patterns to offset the bad Bear line.

    - Public (last i checked) was @ or over 80% Bears.

    Bc they have trailed in both games they have played and had to throw it a ton to try and get back in it.

    They were dominated in both games, SF coughed that game up and handed it to Chi. It was way more good fortune and good breaks that got Chi that win more so than Chi taking it.

    Both teams are about equal tonight with the Jets actually having a defense. Could literally go either way.

    Hey, i think i know you! aren't you the clown from the circus?

    This is a post by you just a few days ago:

    "The fact that everyone is on the Pirates is a decent reason to take the Brewers. It probably holds a lot more weight than it being a "must win". No play for me yet though".

    Convince myself to take the Bears? I'd already taken the Bears, for the reasons I posted. Reasons that turned out to be very accurate, wouldn't you agree?

    Did I say public, sharps or squares? Nope. Fading SBR is profitable. Get with the program.

    Yes, he's a noob, but neither had any "reasoning" and there were plenty of other threads on this game.
