Time 8:20 pm Thursday Place :Sun Life Stadium Who: 6-3 and NFCN leading Chicago Bears vs the 5-4 3rd place in the AFCE Dolphins Changes: Tyler Thigpen is the #1 Qb after a rash of injuries. Which means Reshad Jones and Cory Proctor will have their first starts of the season at FS and Center respectively. Bears have one starting Lb out: At stake: Dolphins win coupled with a loss by either the Ravens or Steelers means a tie for the final WC slot (#6). Bears, in the lead in the NFCN with tie breakers over the Vikings and Packers, the Bears do not face a must win, but any team wants to put ground between themselves and their competition. Keep in mind, this is a wounded Dolphin facing the Bears, the 5 players listed as out or questionable are the surface of the injuries, players such as YBell and Dansby and Wake are seriously nicked up for this game. Wake may not be listed, but do not be fooled, Wake will play dinged up so expect Q Moses to play heavily in this game. Next games: Raiders, Browns, Jets, Bills, Lions, Patriots.
Hopefully Jones can continue his great play from the Tenn game...Miami will need it with Cutler slinging it all of the place..
Somehow ... win this game , then regroup , rest and head out west to continue the playoff hunt. I think the most points the Bears have allowed is 20 this season , so with our injuries , this definitely is a challenge. Feel good though , beware of Devin for Seven though ...
If we win, Thiggy fever will go to another level.. anyone know if the game is sold out? I hope our fans really get into this game.. If they win it, I would like to see Tony Sparano get an extension..I will have seen enough to know I dont want to lose him. If we win, I want to bring back alot of old threads that bashed this team, this coach, and some of the players, Its time our fanbase learns their lesson with public humiliation...lol. If we win, Prez has to howl?
Clemons out can actually be pretty damn big.. he covers a lottttttttttt of field. Hopefully Jones can make some plays.
Cutler is alwys good for a couple dumb passes a game... Fins just need to take advantage of those mistakes.
Well, Clemons covers ground, but he doesn't make plays, that is my complaint against his game. anywho, Nolan, the Shaolin Ninja Voodoo DefCord has to reach into his bag of tricks for this one, lots of injuries, but a must win then a vacation, Wake being dinged messes up a ton of things, we really need some other guys to make their bones. I'm looking at you: -Koa Misi -Randy Starks -Tony McD -Reshad "Rihanna" Jones Would like to see some new faces emerge on the offense, Mastrud, Cobbs, Hilliard, we need some stealth guys to step it up.
I'm excited to see what Jones has to offer. Especially after the last game. He looked to be everywhere out there.
Good news that Pisa is out for the Bears. He's been drawing a lot of praise for his play for them this year. We may just be able to run them to death.
Reshad "Rihanna" Jones? Either way this game is a must win along with every game up until the Jets game. Absolutely have to be 8-4 going into that game if we have a chance at the playoffs.
eh no. i will click and whistle however. everytime we get close we lose so lets not have this play out again lol. feed the fin! on a serious note i'm going into this game thinking we get blown out. if we stay close or actually pull out a victory i will be amazed. not to say it cant happen but it will be like aj feeley beating tom brady on monday night. i dont think our fans understand how injured our team is. we are basically playing our second and 3rd stringers vs their first stringers
How bout we look at Kendall Langford for ONCE to make A play, for cryin out loud...Time for that boy to raise his game to some other level..
The reason why I like our defense in this game is that the bears are just not gonna misdirect you to death...That's our biggest weakness, when we face a cordinator and QB that can deke and fake us to death.... Our secondary played really well last week, under 50 percent completion, less that 150 yards.. I heard that cutler has been tuckin it and runnin pretty well, were gonna need Dansby to spy ole sleepy eyes.
holy crap, i just noticed I had over 20,000 posts...lol...damn I love this site...and this team...and you guy's.
i hope its sold out im coming in from the west coast and nothing sucks more than a half full stadium! prime time should mean a big showing i would think.
nfl network is fake primetime Bry....Have fun at the game man, scream your *** off when were on defense, and Howl like a mother grabber.
I'm probably one of the few believers in Moses. I think he'll have a surprise game if he sees extra playing time. IMO he's dyin to make an impact.
Iam a Q fan TP...I had him making the team when most thought he would be cut...I've liked him over Pod's boy Ike.
You haven't noticed the quick jersey change? Tell your commish , you may be missing out on xtra fantasy points !

It's not bad I guess...I remember last year's crowd in Carolina being non existent. Sort of primetime when it really isn't (unless it's a marquee matchup).
I've said this time and time again in thread after thread... The only chance we're going to have to win this game is to RUN THE DAMNED BALL
I've heard that the NFL Network drowns out the crowd noise. I'm not sure why, but I've heard that a few times. As for why I love Thursday night football. For our team, it gives us a chance to get 2 wins in 4 days and give us momentum going into the final stretch. In general, hey, it's just another night to watch NFL football. Gotta love that!
