Yeah, Rodriguez has been an interesting omission from the passing game. If anything, I would like to see a few more passes to Forte out of the backfield, and some more targets for the TE's. Watching the game again, Spaeth was wide open 2-3 times and Cutler never even looked his way when he forced the ball into coverage for an incompletion.

The way the media has been on the fence, I think this will go a long way towards validation (not that it matters, but from a confidence perspective it would be a great win). The home piece is critical as well, that is why I don't think the SF game would be as defining. If we lose in SF, it was on the road. Also, this is really the first major test for both teams. Houston's top 2 opponents were Denver (early season), and Baltimore (after they were decimated with injuries). Both teams have stars at their top 3 skill positions, and the defenses are stout. Cutler vs Schaub, Forte vs Foster, Marshall vs Johnson, Peppers vs Watt, Tillman vs entire HOU Secondary.

It is hard not to see this as a defining game this year for the team, the offensive line, and Jay. We seem to be as healthy as we've been all year (minus Jeffery) and the defense is playing some of the best ball seen in the last 30 years. This would be a great validation win, at home, in primetime. Jay has to step up this week, limit turnovers, and make some impact plays.

Wayne, Cruz, and Fitzgerald have all been targeted more than Marshall this year. So I don't think he is being targeted too much, I just think we are not used to seeing one WR being targeted as much as Marshall has been. He has a 65% reception rate, which is really good considering the amount of targets. Wayne has 60%, Cruz 57%, and Fitzgerald 52%. http://www.kffl.com/fantasy-football/targets/

Is he coming back against Houston?
-
Good point, I didn't even realize he was the last WR to score. In reality, only Hester has a TD as a WR, and Jeffery has 2.
-
I still hate how that game has been portrayed. It was a short week in GB. Not many teams are going to play that good in that type of situation. I would expect a completely different result if we were playing them now.
-
Yeah, Marshall's was 39, Jeffery had a 42. Now Forte leads all with a 47, but I was strictly looking at Receivers (WR/TE).
-
Looking thru the stats today, I could not believe Jeffery was still 2nd on the team in receiving yards. He also has the longest reception by a WR this year at 42 yards. It will be really nice to have him back in the mix with Bennett and Hester opposite of Marshall (who is tearing it up).
-
Peanut and Jennings are really making a strong case. They have won back-to-back DPOM awards, Peanut leads the league in Defensive TDs (2) and FFum (7), and Jennings leads the league in INT (6) and PD (15).
-
I am glad this came true, a dominating performance. Hester also had a nice run back, so all 3 phases are looking good. I would like to see a little more on offense, but with the defense playing at this level, I can understand why we are playing to limit turnovers.
-
1st String Defense only allows 10 pts, Tillman is sick. Lach with Pick-6, blocked Punt for TD. Forte and Marshall both with over 100 yards and TDs. Cutler with no picks and a 138 QB Rating. Over 50 pts is a great way to go into next week's game vs HOU.
-
In a blowout, I hate that the leading team is considered unsportsmanlike for running up the score, but the losing team can continue to play to score.
-
I am surprised the Bears took their starters out that early. I know you don't want to get anyone injured, but I would've thought they would allow the defense to come out one more time and bring in the 2nd string offense first. ..and I hate garbage time scores.
-
JJ Watt for MVP, I heard that this morning. It has to be Tillman at this point, at least for DPOY with some MVP votes. He is impacting every game. 4 forced fumbles? Silly.
-
This just in.................Marshall is good!
-
Ugly start to the half. 3 and out on offense, and TEN drives down without issue to score.
-
I have to agree, he barely dropped back and was hit.
-
lol, the ball was changing hands a lot.
-
The last thing we needed was a turnover, that was ugly.
-
Forte is the man, the delayed draw and screen were both nice plays.
-
This is crazy. I have never seen anything like this.
-
I would really like to see a dominating performance, especially for the offense. The schedule is brutal going forward, so a 7-1 start is a must. We could go 4-4 in the 2nd half and still end up 11-5.

1. The 46 was moth balled because it became ineffective against the West Coast offense. The Bears scheme is fine, it actually works to the strengths of many players. The only thing I don't like is when we drop the Safeties deeper late in the game into more of a prevent Cover-2. That is when we get soft. Otherwise, we really challenge the offense to play almost perfect to score. 2. I am sold on Cutler. Just look at what he has had in terms of WR's since joining the Bears. Marshall is the first elite talent at that position. He also has dealt with numerous OC's and schemes, and a pretty weak offensive line. It is hard to compare him with other QB's unless you put them on the Bears. A great indication of his value was the Bears record (1-5) after he got injured last year. His record alone, especially in the last two years (12-4) speaks volumes about his value to this team. Also, if you notice, he is not taking the same risks as he was previously. This is a good sign. 3. They are still a work in progress, but most teams have trouble with the Lions front-4. We just need to cut down on the penalties from the O-Line, that would help a lot.

The cheering when he came back out onto the field was awesome too. It is amazing how polarizing he can be. Now the media has their attention on Newton and Sanchez. I even heard Dilfer and Young both compliment Jay, which is amazing because they have ripped him in the past.
