Walter Brzeski, Bears Superfan


The game against the Chiefs is a game the Bears should win and win big. In fact, the game should be over by the third quarter and allow the Bears to play their backups the whole 4th quarter, including Brian Griese. And, the only thing interesting for Bears fans to watch, besides the Bears dominating, is the for the play of Ex-Bears Casey Wiegmann, WR Eddie Kennsion, and DT Alfonso Boone; all players starting for KC.

The only thing the Chiefs fans can brag about is they have cheerleaders at home games and the Bears fans don't. And, there will be only one person looking good in #11 this year in a Chiefs jersey.





My Keys for the Game are:

Offensive:

1. Ron Turner needs to open up his play-calling and not just go vertical in the passing game. Turner needs to utilize misdirection, outside and inside runs, reverses, motion, and formation shifts in the running game.

2. Give Olin Kreutz help on the man over him and combo/chip block to the second level (LBs) to get Cedric Benson and Adrian Peterson a chance to break long runs. In the SD game, the line mainly had 'stalemates' on or near the line of scrimmage (LOS). And, SD spent a lot of time in the backfield on running plays and didn't give the back a chance for cutbacks or to get into the next level too often.

3. Take what the defense gives you. If the starting position is from the 20 yd. line and in, the Bears need to nickel and dime their way down the field.

4. 2 or less turnovers and stay away from 3rd and long situations. If the Bears are in certain passing situations, go with the 'shotgun'; which will give Rex Grossman more field vision and a better 'mental' clock.

5. Keep it simple and work on sustaining long drives; which will wear down a young and weak depth Chiefs defense.


Defense:

1. Put pressure on QB Damon Huard and force him into bad throws. (I predict 3 Bears INTs, 1 for a TD)

2. Pound Larry Johnson and gang tackle him. Limit him to under 50 yards rushing and 20 yards receiving with no TDs.

3. Cover Tony Gonzalez like a blanket with good under and over coverage by Hunter Hillenmeyer and Adam Archuleta.

4. Bring more pressure off the end with LBs. PREDICTION: Brian Urlacher will snap his sackless streak and get 2 sacks.

5. Rotate players to keep everyone fresh as the Bears have good depth and this will be key today and all year long.

Special Teams:

1. Continue to bring pressure up the middle on punts and not allow KC P Dustin Colquitt to hand the ball up for fair catches. PREDICTION: Bears will force a block or deflected punt; which will force an easy score for the Bears offense.

2. Give different looks on the KO return team. Though, I think they may get only 3 chances for returns because of the Chiefs inability to score. Save any reverses on KOs for a future game. But, set it up.

3. New P Dirk Johnson needs to not over-kick his coverage, put the ball up high, and keep the ball inside the 20 yd. line. Johnson needs to average 38 yards net on punts. Look for Johnson to punt only 4 times on Sunday.

4. Force a turnover.

5. Make the Chiefs start at their own 18 yd. line on punts and 24 yd. line on KOs.


This is one of those games where the Bears should dominate every facet of the game. A game where: Grossman throws for 3 TDs, 1 INT, and over 250 yards,
Benson rushes for over 100 yds, on 22 carries, 7 different receivers catch a pass, and the defense reminds people of the '85 Bears with its domination.

My plea to Ron Turner is to: PLEASE OPEN IT UP!!!

Final Score: Bears 41 KC 10
