But I think that's his point about the injuries.  The Giants won't be
able to press upfield against the Bears and force Rex to throw off his
back foot as easily with their two starting DEs out.

I'd have to say the Giants.  On defense, they lost their ability to
rush from the edges and on offense they lost the opportunity to play
against man coverage.  Also, even if Burress can play, remember he's
still dealing with back spasms, so that should impact his performance.

This downside is that win or lose, the Bears will still have to listen
to more of the 'they're beatable' rhetoric, because they aren't
playing the Giants at full-strengths - never mind the fact that the
Bears aren't at full-strengths themselves.
