Re: Matt Forte
Matt broke off a 61-yard run that set up Chicago's first TD and had a 37-yard TD in the 4th quarter.
He needs more than 12 carries IMO to reach his potential.

It pains me to have to pull for Matt while he wears that uniform.

You do realize the Bears won 48-24 right? That's why Matt had 12 carries. If the game is close, Matt is getting 20-25.

Re: Matt Forte
Problem is that everyone is keying in on Forte' for obvious reasons. But that being said he should still get 20-25 carries a game.TPSTulane wrote:He had 13 carries in the 17-14 win over Pitt two weeks ago.FW wrote:TPSTulane wrote:Matt broke off a 61-yard run that set up Chicago's first TD and had a 37-yard TD in the 4th quarter.

Re: Matt Forte
A couple moronic blogs had Forte compared to one season wonders Saalam and Curtis Enis. That even set me off....
Re: Matt Forte
He had 13 of the Bears' 18 carries. Their OL sucks and they have a pro bowl QB. Matt's going to be more effective if the Bears pass to set up the run with their OL.
Re: Matt Forte
Matt's a Pro-Bowl runner if he gets 20-25 carries a game. Yep Cutler went to one Pro Bowl but I wouldn't call him a Pro-Bowl QB.
Had Toledo given Matt just 13 carries a game at Tulane he would have gone undrafted.

Re: Matt Forte
With the Bears OL, they are going to be more productive with Cutler throwing more than Matt running. I agree he should get more than 12 carries but I don't see them using him the same way they did last year. I also don't think he's 100% healthy.
