Thread: What a game!

That Defense was solid! Henry Frickin Melton FTW! Peppers and Urlacher looked great, as per usual, but the Dline overall was deep, penetrating, and monstrous. No "that's what she said" jokes, please. A little improvement on the o-line and we could be on the way to the top

I was excited with the push from the d-line. O-line is not bad but not great. still need to work on the run. Next two weeks will be tough.

Great production from 3 tech-Melton w/2 sacks and Okoye had one I believe. THAT is what will make this defense purr. Once Adams gets his sea legs back the run defense will be more stout.

The TE's can block better. Webb and Camiri were shaky but that's growing pains vs. good Atlanta D. They will definitely look better vs. Saints. There was even a Rwill sighting but then he got injured (figures don't it).

Thought overall good opening game for the Bears. Nice play from Garza. OT's had a rough time with Abraham and Carimi showed that he is a rookie, but overall, thought the OL had a good game. If they continue to improve, I think we'll be very happy by mid-season. Nice to see R. Williams hang onto the ball and make some nice playes. Good distribution from Cutler. Everyone got in the action.

Henry Melton had a very good game. Briggs wasn't in on a lot of tackles today....strange. Tillman strong game.

Well done Bears!!!!!!! 1-0.

Great game!! Hopefully our D-line is that good and not that Atlanta's O-line was bad. Melton has definitely stepped up his game, he and Pep had a "meet at the QB" thing going.

How 'bout Okoye's huge arms? Thomas Jones, eat yer heart out.....:D

Nick Reed! The Pack's Hawk and Matthews little/big brother or something.

Okay, enough about the D-line. Urlacher! Did he have a great game or what? He looked 10 years younger out there. It had been creeping up in my mind that he was possibly getting too old to play with these younger guys, I'm glad he's still got it.

We really need a solid LB at the Strong Side(?) I think that's right, Briggs is WLB right?

Tillman had a great game, and I suppose so did Jennings...no big plays on them. Was that Jennings who ran down the turnover?

Meriweather needs to get it together, Major Wright still looks to be lacking.

I thought Urlacher played great last year as well. He had almost 2 full seasons off due to injury. He's so much bigger than when he was drafted (HGH?). He grew fast early in his career, that's all I'm saying. I've always been a little worried about his speed/quickness after getting so big, but he's still showing he can cover sideline to sideline.

Thought Briggs was a non-factor yesterday. At least in the stats column. I'm sure he contributed, but he's usually in on more tackles.
