Your retarted
The battle between a couple of 2-1 teams that probably don't deserve to be 2-1 teams. Obviously with each passing week, I'm hoping for that "Aha" moment when JF finally gets it and has a monster game. Unfortunately, it probably won't be this week. The Bears, until proven otherwise, have turned into a running juggernaut and when you couple that with the Giants poor run defense, this has primarily running the ball as a game plan written all over it. Kahlil Herbert, despite only playing significantly in one game to date, is nonetheless 7th in rushing yards and 2nd in YPC - only QB Lamar Jackson has a higher avg. The Giants will have to prove they can stop him in order for the Bears to tilt more to the passing game. Right now, he's the only offensive star of note, as the Bears are presently dead last in offense. That's dead last for the entire 32 team league.
Interestingly enough, it's pretty much the same way when the Giants have the ball. Altho a bit more balanced, they too will more or less rely on their running game. Saquon Barkley, who's having a monster season to date should see a lot of action against a Bears run defense that's been pretty crappy so far - unless you think being 30th in rushing D doesn't constitute as crappy. Daniel Jones, their QB, is not having too bad a bad year so far, but his OL sucks in pass protection even more than ours, and this has stunted their passing game. If our D can at least slow down Barkley, they should be able to get some big time sacks in this one.
