Week 11 Preview: Eagles @ Bears, SNF

Devin Hester and the Bears are ready for the High Flying Eagles

The Bears are playing in prime time once again this season, and so far it hasn't been good. They are 0-3 in Sunday Night Football Games this season, and Cutler has played horrible in all three games. Losing to the Packers in Green Bay week 1, then losing to the Falcons in Atlanta week 6, and finally losing to the 49ers in San Fransisco in week 10. This time the Bears are at home, maybe that why Cutler has played bad in prime time.

Both teams desperately need a win. The Eagles are coming off a tough stretch in which they lost to the Cowboys and Chargers. To keep pace with Dallas in the NFC East the Eagles know this is a must win. For the Bears who are 4-5, if they want any shot at the postseason, they need to turn it around now. A win over the Eagles would move them to 5-5, and the worst they could be is one game back of the wild card.

But the Bears have looked horrible the past five games.

It's really going to take a all-around team effort to win this game, and right the ship. I have some doubt though, as whether or not this team is motivated well enough to win.

The Eagles have a high flying offense. Good news for the Bears though, they are one dimensional. Their run game isn't the same without Brian Westbrook so hopefully the Bears can take advantage of it.

The outcome of the game is going to rely on two things.

Number one: The Bears secondary vs. the Eagles passing attack. The Eagles have play makers all over the field in the passing game. Desean Jackson isn't someone to let run free either. They can score from almost anywhere on the field. It doesn't matter. It's now up to Peanut Tillman and the gang to shut that down. If they do, I believe the Bears will have success.

Number two: Jay Cutler. Pretty obvious huh? Cutler HAS to rebound and have a almost perfect game to gain confidence in the Bears fans and this team. It's going to be all on him to get this offense going. Hopefully Matt Forte gets on track. That will allow Cutler to have other options, rather than passing 35+ times a game.

Bottom line is which team wants it more and limits their mistakes. I believe whoever win's the turnover battle, will win the game.

Bear Down!
