Today was a gutsy win. When we needed the offense to keep pace because the D was escorting the Jets to the end zone we kept striking the end zone matching them punch for punch. This was a wild game all around and man how many times did my heart about jump out of my chest. If we'd have played even decent on D we could have blown them out. One thing the Bears did show is they are capable of going toe to toe in a shoot out. That pick 6 and the missed FG were huge when they happened. But were for the most part the two biggest black marks on the the Offense and all in all they are forgiven because they kept us in the game when the D was giving away points like it was going out of style. On D we got virtually no pressure on Sanchez was he even knocked down at all? We sat back in coverage and let them make the catches and hoped to make a tackle or strip. It's a passive Defensive philosophy akin to a a cop setting a speed trap waiting for someone else to screw up. We wait for the opponent to make mistakes whether it's a bad throw, a shot to strip the ball, a pick, etc. Our defense doesn't attack it sits and waits for a mistake to try to capitalize on. It's only effective when we get turnovers. No turnovers and we give the opponents easy drives for points. it's a Gutless way to play defense.

Don't we still need to win next week to have the #2?

GAME OVER INT HARRIS!!!!!!

can't give them free yards

1:14 seconds and the D needs to hold them out of the end zone. Need a good punt and good coverage.

totally agree We need to leave no time we'll probably run again on 3rd down for a couple then punt. Hope I'm wrong and we pick up the first down.

Huge 1st down

anyone else feel like every Defensive possession is going to give you a heart attack? Horrible Field position again at the 5 now.

what a give up possession.

we're going to call 3 straight runs and punt.

that should have been grounding

an announcer calls the Bears cover 2 exactly what it is. Prevent

in other news grass is green

yep. Big miss there by Gould. Really needed to punch it in for the TD. D needs to really step up. now.

held them to 3 Hope Hester runs this kickoff back for a TD

shut down corners are wasted in a system that gives a 10-15 yard cushion on every play.

need to tackle rather than spectate. Piso in great position to make a play and they still get 8. while he watches the paint dry.

Neither defense playing up to it's billing today this was supposed to be a low scoring game. add to that who ever's D steps up first will likely win this game.

offically a shootout? TD Bears!!!

well that was short lived the offense is clearly going to have to win this game our D gave that up wayyyyy to easy.

enough of this bending... need to break their backs here.

Amen!

for a game that was billed to be low scoring we've seen 55 points in just over 1 half of football.

TD Hester!!!!!!!

Nice job D on the 3 and out and nice return by Hester. Bears start the drive at the 31 let's do it again offense we want 7 more.
