DAMN GOOD post.

Mel Tucker:Defense::Offense:John Shoop Thoughts?

Seriously, just buy out Conte's contract and give his cross-eyed ass a bus ticket home. I've never seen a safety with worse instincts...and we got to see Daniel Manning for a few years.

Gotta be. This is clearly "get the game over" play calling.

Has the OL done well? No. Has Forte picked up blitzes? No. Nonetheless, this is one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL, and the "McCown played against bad defenses while Jay played worse defenses"-excuses is out of the window. Jay absolutely has to put up better numbers against a defense virtually everyone killed this year.

Look, we all probably like Cutler and want him to succeed. To break records. To dominate. But the simple fact is, regardless of what stats are pulled out of various orifices, the offense looked a lot different when McCown was in there. They looked faster, better, more in sync, and more dangerous. With Jay they look less certain, out of sync, less dangerous. And that's all there is to it.

No, they were forced to abandon the run because ST play AND the fact that they couldn't run. Speaking of ST play, man do I miss Toub.

How is the salary cap affected if Conte is cut before this game is over? Whatever it is, I think it's worth just cutting the loss. He's horrible and should be selling insurance in a strip mall.

That sack sucked. On the replay, everybody was covered. Not much Jay could do there.

Why is the edge ALWAYS open with this D?!

LOL. Funny post.

It looks good now, but it wasn't promising at first. Maybe that last long drive where he spread it around will loosen up Philly's D.

In years past, I'd consider this game over. This year? I still have hope. This offense has crazy potential. It's just up to the OL to keep Jay clean, and for him to make the smart reads.

Agreed. At least then the Bears might be able to capitalize on the athleticism of two rookie LBs, smallish DTs (because of injuries), and give McClellin a chance to prove he doesn't suck.

Seriously. Fire Tucker. Being injured is bad, but that's a lot of missed assignments, bad tackling, and poor gap discipline.

That looked like Slausson misread his assignment and Forte sucked. Bad combination.

This is looking MUCH better this drive.

Ermahgerd, don't throw into double or tight coverage. Hit the open guy. Like that out to Alshon.

Call it hate it not, but Cutler has under thrown several passes so far. I have counted three. And I could swear I saw someone open on that last bad throw to Marshall.

I thought I saw someone open but I couldn't be sure. But when the throw is into double coverage I would figure someone is open.

Philly offense is perfect against an undisciplined defense.

SMC bites too far inside, AGAIN.

And if I recall the convo, I still say five scrubs with good continuity means a beat up QB. There has been some continuity in previous seasons and the still sucked. That's talent level, period. You need a balance of both, but if you have to choose one, you choose talent and ability over continuity every day. Give me a probowl OL with zero continuity and they will quickly outperform a poor OL with lots of continuity. If that were Webb and some other scrub on the right side instead of Long and Mills, the continuity wouldn't matter much. Luckily, this year the Bears have both talent AND continuity.

I want better than 56% regular season and 50% post season success.

Yep! One good year, one bad year, repeat. Too many holes in his Tampa 2. Too passive. No clue on offense. No clue on drafting. No clue on FA. Horrendous in game coaching decisions. Laughable replay challenges. Retarded loyalty to bad assistant coaches. Zero fire. I'm with you; I'd love to see Lovie in Detroit. You can go ahead and book Cutler for 300+ and 2-3 TDs, with receivers open all over the place in the zone.
