The thing is the Bears cannot score outside of what Hester contributes so if we keep him down this should be a win for us.
Hester gets the PR for one TD and sets up the other with a return to our 44 in the first game which netted the only TD's they have against us in two games.
Both QB's will get some pressure but Rodgers is very good under pressure and Cutler is not. If you thought you saw pressure on Ryan you ain't seen nothing yet because Capers knows what happens to Cutler when he's getting constant heat.
I hope to see McCarthy take it deep early as he knows he has the matchups to beat the Bears downfield and this would back the Bears off some. The Bears DB's again showed you can get over them against Seattle. I thought the Seahawks should have been taking longer shots earlier on but they just kept trying to go short and couldn't move the ball.
By the time they figured out they could go downfield they were out of the game.
The bottom line is they don't have the defenders to stay with our guys downfield and we do so the big play potential is definately on our side outside of Hester. Our kicking game is going to have to be there this week. We keep him down and we should win handily.
They won't get much in the run game against us and I doubt we do much against them. This game will be decided by who makes the big plays on offense and that happens to be where I see us with a big advantage.

This was an excellent post, warhawk.
I agree with you on most points. However, I believe that Urlacher and Briggs deserve a mention. I think that for our offense to be successful, we will need to throw down field, like you said, to avoid these two. I think that they pose the biggest threat to our team, offense and defense both being taken into consideration.
It's going to be a nailbiter I think, but we've got this.
