Bears vs. Seahawks Week 2 Preview

Chicago Bears Week 2 Game Preview

On Monday September 17th the Bears prepare for their home opener against the Seattle Seahawks in Chicago. Both teams come into this match up off a loss. The Bears fell to the Packers in a very close game in Green Bay and the Seahawks lost in Denver 24-27. Injury report this week has the Seahawks missing their top receiver Doug Baldwin, and their top two linebackers K.J. Wright and Bobby Wagner. Meanwhile, the Bears have no major injuries to be worried about, as all starters are expected to play.

The first half of the season for the Bears looked great, but then some questionable play calls and decision making occurred in the second half. Bears fans know that the team has the talent, everything just needs to come together at this point. Last week the Bears top linebackers in Roquan Smith and Khalil Mack looked great, but were on a snap count. Expect that to change, as both guys should play the majority if not the whole game. The Bears should come out striking early with the now lackluster Seattle defense and the fast paced Bears offense under Matt Nagy.

I predict the Bears to do a lot on offense tonight, and even more on defense. The game final will be 38-17 Bears win big in the home opener. Russell Wilson won't be able to deal with the pressure the Bears defense can bring, and he essentially has no offensive weapons. I expect Mitch Trubisky to have a little more freedom and pass for just under 300 yards with 3 TDs. The player of the game will be Khalil Mack, who will rack up two sacks against the Seahawks awful offensive line.

I've learned that blogs are easy to write if you are passionate and knowledgeable about the topic. The blogs I read I could tell people knew a lot about what they are talking about, others not so much. I didn't have a specific favorite blog but I was impressed by a lot of them. Blogs are important because people are able to get and see a different perspective about something they are passionate about.

Bears Packers: Week One Review

The Chicago Bears kicked off the 2018 regular season with a match up in Green Bay against the Packers. This game was just one week after the Bears acquired former defensive player of the year Khalil Mack via trade with the Oakland Raiders.

Image result for khalil mack bearsThe Bears got off to a great start on Sunday Night football, especially on defense. In the first half, the Bears held the Packers to just 61 yards on 7 drives. The Bears new addition Khalil Mack proved his worth early providing a forced fumble and a pick six in the first half alone. Offensively the Bears scored a touchdown on the first drive of the season driving down the field 86 yards for six. The first drive was probably the only good drive from the Bears all game as Mitch Trubisky used his new weapons in a meaningful way. At halftime, the Bears lead 17-0 and opposing star quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sidelined due to injury.

The second half the story changed. The Bears defense seemed lackluster, and the offense was non-existent throughout the half. Both teams started the half with field goals, but then after that the momentum started to shift. The next two drives for the Bears were both three and outs lasting a combined three minutes and 50 seconds. The next two Packers drives both resulted in touchdowns as Aaron Rodgers returned to the field, cutting the score down to 20-17, Bears. Likely the biggest drive of the game, the Bears couldn't give Aaron Rodgers any chance. This drive lasted nearly six and a half minutes just for a field goal. It didn't take Rodgers long to respond to the six point deficit, as it took three plays to take the first lead of the night. On the next drive, young quarterback Mitch Trubisky had to make a big play. Despite multiple opportunities, the Bears couldn't even score a field goal as the game became out of reach.

Chicago Bears Blog Introduction

Chicago Bears 2018 Blog Introduction

Welcome to the best Chicago Bears blog in the United States! In this blog I will be covering everything Chicago Bears. Throughout the season this blog will be the number one place for trade breakdowns and game reviews! I am a junior who has been a die-hard Chicago Bears fan my whole life.

What got me into the Bears was my dad, since he was born and raised in a suburb of Chicago, he grew up a fan. When I was younger, I got to see my Bears in the Super Bowl in a game against the Indianapolis Colts. After losing that game, I've been waiting to see us play in the big game, and this year I believe that it is possible. The Bears are important to me because it's a big connection between my dad and I, as we spend every fall Sunday watching the Bears on TV!
