[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 622600"] For this game, I'd agree with a little different spin on it. The Bears had a pretty good possession passing game with Bennett and Forte combining for 192 catches last season. Getting them into long yardage forcing downfield throws should be a key, especially with Burnett possibly sitting and Barrington being sketchy in coverage (assuming he remains the coverage ILB) making the possession pass defense a vulnerability. 2nd. and 5 or 6, for example, is not a good look with these match-ups, especially with Forte as a particular run threat in those situations, requiring run-or-pass hedging on defense. Getting the Bears defense off the field and getting the ball back in Rodgers' hands should be the theme of the day. Allowing them to grind it out and burn clock, which the match ups suggest as a possibility, would keep the game close. Having a dinged up WR corps could work in the Bears favor to some degree if it translates to a game plan where Cutler plays ball control game manager and isn't making risky throws downfield as has been his wont.
