Finally a normal start time. I have enjoyed RedZone these first three weeks though.

No determination yet on Amukamara or Miller one whether they will play.

I think this game could be easier than the Cardinals game. I fear Evans and their receivers but I doubt they'll have time to throw.

Bears 31-17

the bucs simply have been unable to run the ball this year. fitzpatrick trusts his WR to win deep balls. Should be a fun game to watch... defnitely not the turdfest it looked to be a month ago.

I'm of the opposite opinion. Fitzpatrick is due for regression and I would be happy to catch the front of the wave

Tampa has no running game so it really gives the Bears some leniency on defense to do more of what they want. You'll see a lot of McManus and Callahan in this one. Toliver has to look better than he did against Arizona. Floyd vs OJ Howard will be a matchup to watch. Evans is a mismatch against anyone but he won't be enough to overcome everything the Bears are going to throw at Fitzpatrick. If Floyd takes away Howard and Jackson can't wiggle through the Bears zones I don't see Tampa having the firepower to overcome what should be some difficult down and distances. Fitzpatrick is a statue, his only trick is to move up in the pocket...that won't work.

Bilal Nichols may break into the rotation this game, keep an eye out. Also look for Cohen to get a bigger role, Tampa's defense blows and Cohen in open space could break a few.

-Win time of possession
-Win turnovers

Do that and win.

Tampa's path to victory is pretty simple: abate the Bears rush and don't turn it over. I have confidence this squad can disrupt that plan.

Bucs really have no ground threat to speak of, Peyton Barber sucks. The pass rush should feast.

Bears have to gameplan for both QB's. Fitzpatrick could get the hook as early as halftime if he is getting feasted on by Mack & co.

It's time to get Trey Burton the fuck going though. That's all I have to say.

TB's passing attack will shred the beloved. Evans/Godwin/Jackson/Howard will be too much and Mitch will be incapable of matching them.

Tampa 28
Bears 13

Defense forces 3 turnovers, 4 sacks.

Bears offense is going to make some mistakes in this game. Tampa will look to get the ball out of Fitzmagics hands quicker to keep the pass rush at bay. Still, that means Vic will blitz less and drop more guys into coverage -I think Roquan will have a big game for the Bears but..


..our offense leaves too much burden on the defense.

If Bucs have decent protection they could give the Bears some problems, particularly if Toliver has to play because Amukamara is out.

Bucs 38
Bears 17

Bears are still shitty.

We'll be back on Red Zone in Week 5 though.

Bears sack Fitzpatrick at least 6 times and get at least 3 turnovers. Mitch continues to suck and the offense scores no touchdowns but he leads them down the field on a 50 yard drive (35 of which come via pass interference and roughing the passer calls) for a game winning field goal, 15-14.

Bears: 27

Bucs: 10

I think that this is the game that (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky shows that he belongs in the NFL as a good starting quarterback.

This is a trap game for the Bears at home, with the Bucs coming in hungry after the home loss to the Steelers on MNF. I think the Bears will be able to pressure Fitzpatrick, but the Bucs will be better prepared protection-wise than they were against the Steelers. Fitzpatrick won't throw for 400 yards against this Bears D. His receivers will still have plenty of receptions and should take a few in for touchdowns. The Bears will counter by slowing down the game by running the ball and will have success. Howard will run for 100 yards and get at least one TD on the ground. Even while facing a depleted Bucs secondary, (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky will have trouble capitalizing by not being able to connect on long passes. The Bucs will be ready for the Bears short passes, lateral passes and screens.

This game comes down to WTW and the Bears might have a let up after their comeback win against the Cards. The Bucs don't want to go into the bye week with back to back losses. If Fitzpatrick does poorly, Winston could come in in relief and provide a spark. Coaching edge goes to Tampa.

Bucs 27 - Bears 17

Tampa has the better QB and better receivers. Tampa wins in a blow out.

People have some weird opinions about is important in the NFL.

.

The Bears have Mack.

He'll get double teamed all game. Tampa will be going deep all game. Just not a good matchup for the Bears. Bears will need to pound the ball this week. Take time off that clock. Rain might be a factor.

Let's hope you're right!

Geaux Bears!
