Post from one of my friends that is a great capper. However, look how wrong he was on his e-mail to me.
Just for you to get scared...
>This is as bad a mismatch. I mean, really bad. First and foremost, this game will be won from the opening kickoff by the defense of the Bears and most notably, their defensive front controlling the line of scrimmage and dominating the O'Line of the Cardinals. Now, to start with, I am going to give you 5 numbers that will begin to paint you this "Portrait Of A Monday Night Blowout" tonight. Here they are. 84, 65, 101, 31 and 76. Those 5 numbers are the yards rushing the Cards put up their first 5 games against the likes of the Niners, Seahawks, Rams, Falcons and the Chiefs defense.
> Now, if you understand football, you will understand that if you can't run the football in this league, then you have no shot at winning. You face a defense as dominant as the Bears and you will get flat out blownout and here is why. You can't face 3rd and long all night against a defensive front this good when your offensive line is big and slow and has already allowed 17 sacks in 5 games. I don't care who is your QB, whether it's Joe Montana or Matt Leinart, it all adds up to a recipe for disaster. Let me also add no Fitzgerald tonight for the Cards as well. Now I understand Leinhart is a bit further along than most rookies but this is only his 2nd start of the year as a pro against a defense that I am pretty sure he never saw the likes of in College. This is a defense that has given up a total of 36 points this year and their first unit, perhaps the best defense in the league, hasn't given up a meaniful TD in the first 3 quarters of any game. The touchdown the Lions got was in the 4th quarter, the touchdown the Vikings got was an INT returned for a TD and the Bills got theirs in the 4th quarter. So as you can see, Cardinals have no shot in this game and the most they will get in this game will be a pair of field goals. People, this is Monday night. The only game in town.
>This isn't a Sunday game where you are 1 of 12 games on a direct TV package. This is Monday night football and a chance for you to show the world just how good you are. Their last primetime show was Sunday night blasting the Seahawks 37-6. You might remember them, they went to the Super Bowl last year with a pretty darn experienced QB in Matt Hasselback. They picked him off twice and sacked him 5 times and made him look very average. They also dominated a pretty good coached team by Mike Holmgren. This line can't be big enough for as badly as the Bears are going to manhandle this team from a defensive standpoint. Offensively for the Bears, they are seeing a Cardinals defense that has allowed the Niners to run for 107, the Seahawks for 146 and the Falcons for 262. In the air, they allowed 286 to Alex Smith, 300 yards to Marc Bulger and 262 last week to a guy name Damon Huard. I fully expect at least 3 turnovers from this Cardinals team and at least 5 sacks on Leinhart and when all is said and done tonight, the Bears will have announced to the world on the biggest stage we have in the NFL that we are the best their is and nobody is going to stop us, especially a rookie QB, who is playing behind a team that can't run, can't protect and can't stop anybody. Lay this number and watch the Bears do exactly what they have done to destroy people. They beat the Packers 26-0 making Brett Favre look really bad, Detroit 34-7 making Jon Kitna look really bad, Seattle 37-6 making Hasselback look really bad and the Bills 41-7 making another young QB in JP Losman look really bad. As far at the Vikings game on the road in which they won 19-16, here is what I have to say about that. First of all it was a division game and secondly, they had first and goal 3 times and settled for field goals and had a pick six.from Grossman to overcome as well. Divisional games are different from non-divisional games.
> Bottom line is when the smoke clears tonight, when the game is over, you will have witnessed greatness by the Bears again in front of a national tv audience. Monday night football is where normal players become stars. Well tonight, there will be a lot of stars for the Bears in a blowout of legendary porportions. The right side of this game tonight is Chicago without question and they will not disappoint. No way. They will destroy Matt Leinart and the Cardinals.
>BEARS 31-6
