hough Chicago Bears have lost the pre-season opener against Carolina Panthers by 24-17 held on August 9, 2013, it is still impractical to write them off for the entire season. The team has many encounters scheduled ahead. The loss in the opener has to shatter the team’s confidence yet, and they are charged to bounce back. At the press meeting after the match, the team management has confirmed about learning a few things from the match. Jay Cutler, the quarterback, who kicked off the opening pre-season game, has put forth his views on the need of strengthening the offense. He also added that the team still had enough time to improve its offense tactics before the start of the regular-season opener, which is on September 8, 2013. He also believed that the reason for the loss was under utilizing of Matt Forte, who plays at the running back position. According to Coach Marc Trestman, Brandon Marshall for not fed with enough passes to run the ball effectively, and the difference is seen the goal score. Further, there were some mistakes committed by rookie linebackers Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene. Though both were at their position for most of the time, Greene was not able to match up with the elite speed of Bostic. The team also faced problems on right tackle since J’Marcuss was too shaky. There is a possibility that he might be replaced either by Jonathan Scott or Eben Britton for right guard if he does not find his rhythm soon. Chicago Bears team management is reviewing the game day from the Friday night in order to rectify their mistakes and work on it. Even in the loss, there is something for the team to cheer up. This includes the performances of Matt Blanchard playing at the quarterback position, and could complete 15-to-18 passes for 194 yards in spite of poor pass protection. Marquess Wilson, who has recently signed a four- year with Chicago Bears, had a good debut. Nate Collins was as usual impressive in the defense. Then, corner back Sherrick McManis recovered greatly after missing a chance to deliver a knockout shot. With three more pre-season encounters with Chargers, Raiders, and Browns scheduled on August 15, 23, and 29, it is too early to talk who is going to make to the finals. Until then, you can keep showering your faith on Bears. For more detail information about green bay packers please visit http://www.nflgiftideas.com/
