The NFL Network is very happy that the Thursday night schedule is underway. They are probably less than thrilled with their opener, however. In a game that many people might find unappealing, the Chicago Bears will face the San Francisco Forty Niners. Still, any football on Thursday is better than no football at all.
The Bears began the season as a team to watch, but they have yet to live up to those mighty standards. They stand at 4-4, and are still within the realm of a playoff bid. If they can figure out what is going on with the defense, and score some points on offense, they might just get in. (Talk about stating the obvious) Still, it is the real problem in Chicago. They are struggling without Brian Urlacher, and the offense is simply not clicking at the same time. If they ever get Forte running and Jay Cutler passing well at the same time, the Bears could be very dangerous.
The Niners on the other hand are kind of the darlings of the NFC. Lots of experts jumped on board as they have been better than expected. Unfortunately, that may have been a bit premature. The Niners are starting to sputter and need to right the ship tonight against the Bears. They should have some opportunities down field if they can get the ball out there.
Here is a toast to NFL football on Thursday nights! It matters not who is out there….
