It seem that the Bears have a clear advantage against defenses when they run the double tight end formation with Olson and Clark:
“When throwing with two tight ends on the field, Orton is 29-for-44 for 371 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. His passer rating is 113 and he’s averaging 8.4 yards per attempt, both well above his overall numbers.”

Well, I couldn’t think of a better title for this installment, but it was pretty much real life fantasy in week 4 for the Chicago Bears. Nearly everything that they needed to happen for the ideal scenario to set up the rest of the season did. Green Bay lost, Minnesota lost, and Chicago got a HUGE win against Philly to vault the Bears back into contention for first place in the division. It was a return to the W column the Bears desperately needed, and one that puts them back on track to making all the “experts” out there that gave the Bears no chance to win the NFC North. I’ve never understood why the media hates the city of Chicago in general by the way(as far as sports are concerned).
There is much reason for excitement and anticipation as well. The defense didn’t get much pressure on McNabb, but did hold the vaunted Eagles offense in check nearly the entire game. How much more can you say about the D’s performance on Sunday?
The offense, well, much more can be said about them. The Bears still desperately need some consistency on the offensive side of the ball. However, this unit is starting to come into its own. Greg Olsen went a long way to redeeming himself with a really solid TD catch early in the game. The receivers all got into the act. No one receiver flashed too much brilliance, but they collectively played well, with TD catches by Hester, Booker, and of course Olsen. Hopefully the injury to Brandon Lloyd isn’t too big of a deal. Matt Forte was…well, once again Matt Forte. And let’s hand it to Ron Turner, he adjusted the gameplan when things weren’t working, dialed up reverses, and even a pass play for Marty Booker(although he ended up not throwing it). I was pleased with how Turner called this game.
If this team plays a game, an entire game that is, with the offense, defense, and coaching staff playing near the top of their potential, this Bears team can beat anyone. Yes, I said it, they have all the potential to take on any other team in the NFL. We just have to see it done, and as of yet we haven’t. That doesn’t mean I don’t think we could eventually get there though this season.
