Forte should have over 100 yards rushing, no doubt if we didn't hold every damn play. Both holdings costed him 20 yard runs and they weren't even that bad. Olsen could cost us the game because we look scared on offense. The defense has to play like mad men if were going to come away with a W.
There goes the most overrated player in football jawing it up after he got Jacked up by Briggs! I hope Briggs knocks him the freak out the next time. What an idiot!
Halftime Analysis:
Stats:
Kyle Orton 9/13 81 yards 0 TD 0 INT
Matt Forte: 14 carries 53 yards 0 TD (Should have over 60 if it weren't for Mckie)
B Lloyd: 2 catches 42 yards 1 TD (On the punt team!)
Offense:
Kyle Orton- So far he's looked brilliant. He's moving the ball on offense and has connected on some big plays, two to Brandon lloyd and one to Dez Clark. I'm glad he's in at Quarterback.
Matt Forte- Should have over 60 yards but due to Mckie's dumbness he's held to 53 yards. Look for him to come up big in the second half.
The defense has been DOMINANT! They are shutting down Carolina but I still don't think 10 points is enough to win the game. We must score more to win! Lets continue to dominate!
hmmmm, it sure makes you think about it more but how much does that test pertain to you on a personal level mentally? Isn't that test just about your knowledge of the game? I'm just asking cuz I don't know.
I'd almost rather have Kyle Orton than Jake Dellhomo. He just doesn't appeal to me as being a good quarterback. Him and Sean Alexander have always been on my "Most overrated players" list. Without Steve Smith, Delhomme is very average.
Predictions:
Kyle Orton: 11/22 158 yards 1 TD 0 INT
Matt Forte: 29 carries 152 yards 1 TD 1 reception 7 yards 1 TD
Kevin Jones: 7 carries 45 yards 1 TD
Hester: 1 rec 14 yards
Lloyd: 2 rec 29 yards
All in all I think we should dominate offensively with our running game. Forte will crush them and Kevin Jones won't miss a beat when he comes in. I predict Kyle struggles a little bit late and overthrows a couple open receivers causing his completion % to drop but he will still do his thing and manage the game the right way.
If the defense plays like they did in Indy we will blow the Panthers outta the water. We could score over 30!
I don't think the Packers miss a beat this year unless they have injuries. Aaron Rodgers looked like a top tier quarterback from what I saw Monday night. He even looked a little Farve-esque with that TD pass to that one guy at the goal line. But since Lovie has been here we've pretty much owned the Packers, and I expect the same this year!
The Bears surprised me! I guess preseason doesn't have any bearing at all on how the season will go for a team. We completely dominated the Colts on the ground and we controlled the game throughout.
Okay I don't know about you but I really like the white on whites! We should do away with the navy pants. Same goes for when were playing at home, go with the navy on navy! We look so much sharper with those jerseys on, what do you guys think?
