The biggest concerns I have are on offense as I think most others on this board also might have.
The Eagles do not have the pass rush that Houston does. Few teams do. That should allow us to sustain our drives longer. One more week for White and Cutler to get their timing and correct actions under different circumstances ironed out. Not sure if the Log will allow Jay to air it out or not, but I hope we really see some real hard hitting runs.
I feel like the OL will be much better this week. Not just because of one more week together but also because the OL takes the brunt of a brutal pass rush and so they should perform better. I will be looking to see about our own pass rush. IMO, there is no reason we should not have had a better pass rush last week. Houston has a killer DL, but really only average OL and a new QB. We have been able to get pressure. I am betting on Vic learning faster than most and making his corrections. I see a win, but we will see.

Should ? I suppose ... rookie QB starting his 1st road game ... Bears home opener , emotions running high etc . Except , we don't really know what kind of team we actually have . We could be the kind of team that improves quickly and you have to really work to beat - and we could also be a crappy team that is still 5 players short of becoming even decent . It's too early for me to tell I know that .
Well, so far I haven't guessed right on too much of the game. Looks like White is still not doing much, but I expected better this week from the OL. Cutler is still seeing too much pressure and other than the second series, not much to be proud of. Jeffrey is earning his money. Nice stuff from Hall, but still looks out of sync
Painful to watch. Hoyer actually did better than Cutler until the last two throws of that series. Why you don't have Howard punch it in on a one yard play is beyond me. They should have gotten that first down and maybe the score. Howard was running the ball well.
Freeman is a beast and deserves #50.
White did get a little better tonight. Floyd, not so much.
Well, I had been holding onto a 10 win season. I have to go down to 8, and if they don't get better soon, that might have to go down again. The Goldman injury was tough. No matter what though, I still like to watch my Bears. I see progress, but I also see stupid shit.
And boy I'd love to have lucked into a guy like Wentz, but you have to have an early pick.
