A month after Bears fans wanted to protest the Bears Halas Hall and boycott games for a new coaching staff, the Bears are 3-0. This followed a win vs. the Packers on Monday. The game was the highest-rated cable TV program all year with 17.5 million viewers according to espn.com.
The Bears are going to be on Sunday Night Football on NBC. The Bears make their first visit to new Giants Stadium. The Giants had a complete meltdown last Sunday at home. They committed five personal foul penalties and Eli Manning threw three interceptions against the Tennessee Titans in a 29-10 loss.
Julius Peppers has only one sack on the year so far. But he drew many holding penalties and double teams against the Lions, Cowboys and Packers.
He will certainly be ready to redeem himself, along with Chris Harris, both former Panthers. Their 2008 season was derailed with a loss to the Giants in old Giants Stadium.
Jay Cutler and the Bears offense are becoming more efficient with the football. The offensive line is working well without first-round-pick Chris Williams. Frank Omiyale and Kevin Shaffer are adjusting to their new roles well.
Devin Hester and the Bears Special Teams are back to par after two explosive returns by Hester. One for a touchdown which swung momentum in the Bears favor Monday. Julius Peppers also blocked a field goal by Mason Crosby to begin the second half.
The Bears are playing disciplined football with only four penalties compared to 18 for the Packers on Monday. If the Bears play the way they have for the first three games, expect the “Monsters of the Midway” to be 4-0 come Monday morning.
