As most of you out their probably know, Chicago plays Atlanta in the season opener at Soldier Field Tomorrow (Sunday 9/11). The Falcons ended with a 13-3 record last year. This was mostly because of their amazing offensive production, but how could they not win with such big names on their team. Matt Ryan had one of the best seasons of his career last year. He threw for a personal best of 3,705 yards and 28 Touchdowns. These numbers are not solely because of Ryan’s abilities to make plays though. It really helps Ryan when he can throw to a receiver like Roddy White. Roddy White caught an NFL-high of 115 passes in the 2010 season. He is highly considered one of the best receivers in the league. Not only do they have those two playmakers, but they have a great running back in Michael Turner, and a all-star veteran in Tony Gonzalez. Also with the six pick in the latest NFL draft the Falcons drafted Julio Jones which can be a deadly receiver with his quickness and speed. Needless to say The Falcons Offense will be a major threat when competing against the bears. But what a lot of people seem to forget is that the Bears have one of the most premier defenses in the league.
The Bears still have some of the best linebackers in the league with Urlacher, and Briggs. We still have Israel Idonije and Julius Peppers, and we still have a great veteran corner back in Charles Tillman. The Falcons might have a superb offensive, but they will have to get by the bears defense to win the game.
