According to Chicago Tribune Article:

Division lead at stake for Bears, Vikings

"You could say [this is] the biggest game we've had in our division in a long time," Smith said.

"They're a good football team. They've been playing well, especially here of late. We know them well. They know us well. Should be a heck of a game."

Well said, Lovie.

They should be scared. In 3 games against chicago Peterson has 62 carries for 423yds 7tds. 6.8 yards per carry.

I am a bit worried about their passing attack.

I am hoping some yutz Bore defender tweaks Ortons ankle again in practice so he is a bit off his game.
;D

I don't have
very good feeling about this game

It was a fluke we were putting up that many points

If we get into a shootout again we will be on the bottom end

I hope we can pull this off.. Im just very nervous

Heck Marrdro, maybe one of our guys can give baby face Orton a little tweakin', perhaps a nice massage on the way to some turf salad....

Lol the vikings drop every important game so i think we will lose

We need to beat baltimore to make the playoffs in 2005? we lost

We needed to beat the Redskins to guarantee a playoff spot in 2004. We lost

Once again we must beat the redskins to get a playoff spot. We lose again

Anyone see the trend? we can't win when it means the most. So my hopes are down

Don't forget that they scored most of their points off of bad mistakes made by us, weather it be special teams or one of Gus's interceptions(I believe he threw 4 in that game).

If we can play a game without making as many mistakes as we made in that game I like our chances.
If we turn the ball over or have special teams mishaps the Bears are a team that know how to take advantage.

It was a fluke, wont happen again.
We had more passing yards, and 3 times as many rushing yards. The only reason they won that game was a pair of fumbles returned for TD's along with 4 ints. If they can play with out the turnovers they should win. I feel very good about this game at home. Of course it will be high anxiety because the stakes are so great.

orton had all day to throw in the game at soldier field, I'm guessing that won't be the case in the dome where are pass rush has been dominant in every game this year.
