The Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) travel to Chicago this Sunday to do battle with The Bears (0-1).  Kickoff is 4:15pm EST (CBS).  This is the first time the Steelers have graced their presence @ Soldier Field since 1995.  All guns will be ablaze on both sides of the turf.

Bears Offense - Lead by Jay Cutler (QB).  Cutler was a Probowler & member of the Broncos last season.  Will be making his Chicago debut this weekend.  Takes chances with the rock (had 4 picks last week vs the Packers).  Tends to throw the ball flat-footed & eye-balls his WR's.  Also plays with a major chip on his shoulder. 

Bears WR's - none worth mentioning in particular.  Are a young core.  Try to create matchups, but lack of experience is their downfall.  Not running the proper routes the majority of the plays.

RB's - Forte - Class - 2nd year in the NFL.  Accredited for 1/3rd of all the Bears plays last season.  Is dynamic, explosive & runs downhill.  Raw talent @ its finest.

TE's - Olson - Up & coming star.  Smart & efficient.  May be the lead TE this week as Desmond is possibly injured.

Hester - Phenom of a kickoff returner.  Occasional WR when the Bears pass attack goes down the crapper.  Can bring the heat.  Will be a major test for the Steelers special teams. 

Bears D - Typically one of the best in the NFL. Play quick & physical.  Yet seem not to be playing up to standard so far this season.  Are minus one Brian Urlacher (LB & Defensive Captain).  This is a huge blow to their squad.   Urlacher has been replaced by Briggs as the new defensive cub scout leader.  Keep your eyes on this hulk of a player.  He's the Man!

Final Thoughts - The Bears will take the field running on all cylinders.  Cutlers' debut will charge Soldier Field.  His lack of timing with the WR core will be detrimental.  Steel D will apply constant pressure right up the middle of the line of scrimmage.  Urlacher's injury is to much for the Bears D to fathomn.  The Men of Steel will be the ones to do the "Super Bowl Shuffle" this weekend!!!!!

STEEL V !!!!!

OOPS!!!!!!!!!
Tough loss man, Jeff Reeds worst game of his career. the Bears D held up after the first drive and Cutler and the no name recievers made the plays when they had to.
