First thing that sticks out to me is that Brock Osweiler will probably get his first start. I hate going against teams that have made significant changes....starting QB, HC, front office people etc. Examples this season include Miami, Tennessee, Detroit, all enjoyed success after making a change. In the case of installing a new QB, the team often (not always) performs better than expected, because the rest of the team tends to be more focused, to help the new QB.
I'd feel better about the Bears chances if Peyton was the QB. OTOH I do like the fact that Fox knows the Broncos personnel very well, so that should help the Bears preparation for the game.
Gonna think about it, maybe make a play later this week.

off-topic, but sort of interesting
yesterday, Zach Miller scored the longest TD by a TE since 1999. He used the scoreboard to help him evade a tackler. From the recap:
".....After receiving a short pass in the left flat from quarterback Jay Cutler, Miller broke a weak attempt at tackling by linebacker Akeem Ayers and was off for an 87-yard score that evened the game at 7.
The 31-year old Miller, who prior to this season hadn't played an NFL game since 2011 with Jacksonville due to injuries, used the scoreboard behind the end zone to help him evade cornerback Trumaine Johnson.
"I was looking up at it to see when I had to cut away from him," Miller said. "I was tracking him all the way."

If getting rid of Manning is the answer ( I never thought I'd say that ) on Sunday then they should let Osweiler start the rest of the season for Denver but fossil fart Manning is getting arch supports for the plantar fasciitis and some testosterone shots and that will help him not throw ints.??? What this mans legacy will be....choker!
Osweiler needs an o-line and Denver doesn't have much of one from what I can tell and how is he going to get a running game going that's non-existent to help him? Denver was exposed in more ways than one last Sunday. Chicago does not come home from winning on the road in fine fashion and lose to these sorry arsed Donkey's. Not a chance.
