This is the way the NFL has been played for years, this rule will absolutely have no effect at all with the number of concussions. Matt Millen made a great point tonight, with the way NFL players are taught to hit (That being hitting the center of the chest and exploding upwards towards the helmet, this rule is just going to make more players go low for tackles which then will create more career ending knee injuries and also concussions. Most defensive players suffer their concussions because they make contact with a knee to the helmet when they go low.

Yeah, I was shocked that the Redskins are actually the worst defensive team in the NFL in terms of total yards. You can throw that stat out the window though when you play the Bears. All you have to do is blitz every single play and you will either get a sack or force Cutler into getting rid of the ball before he's finished with his 70 step drop.

If you all were watching MNF tonight, I guess the league is announcing that they are going to make a new rule effective immedietly that you will be suspended for a "Devastating" hit or a "Blow to the head." There having a big debate about it now on ESPN. This is a joke, a flat out joke. You can't legislate hitting in football. Now everything that these guys have been taught about hitting they can no longer do. So basically the next time Urlacher comes and lights up Roy Williams across the middle he's going to get suspended, even if he doesn't make contact with the helmet. If this crap goes on for more than this year I might give up watching the NFL. What this is is a total overreaction from a weekend where quite a few players were hit hard. This is not football anymore and it's going to cost one of our players because of it which ultimately could effect our playoff chances if one of these guys are out for a game or two because of a stupid idiotic rule. I guess Earl Bennett would then be suspended because of his hit on the punter which was a perfectly legal hit but it's a "Devastating" hit. I can't say enough bad things right now about whoever made up this stupid rule. I'm so pissed off, I can't imagine how mad these players are. What's your guys' take on this?

It aint going to get any better because we are going to lose to the Redskins next week. If we win next week I'll be as shocked as ever. That team disguises their coverage as much as anyone and will bring constant pressure all day. I suspect the game will be similar to the Giants game. Cutler may go down 8-10 times again and with a pass happy Martz he will not adjust and we could get blown out. The Shanahan offense is perfect against this Bears defense. Lots of quick short passes, the kind of passes we tend to just give in to... We will need to play some real inspired football to win next week.

Olsen could be a probowl TE in a West Coast type offense. We all know Martz ignores his TE's. But getting back to the question, not one of our timeouts were used to stop the clock at the end of halfs to keep the offense out there or to stop an opposing offense. They were used as mistakes because either Martz didn't get the play out quick enough or there was some personel confusion. It's ridiculous and it shows up to kill us. If we had one TO there at the end, we would have been able to get the ball back assuming we could stop them 3 straight times on the ground. Who knows what would happen from there. Were probably a good return away or a 20 yard pass play from being back into FG range..

2006 was just the perfect storm when it came to defense. Everybody seemed to be in the ripe years of their primes. Of course you had Mike Brown who was the leader of our defense until he went down with an injury. Tommie Harris was a beast and Mark Anderson was a young rookie who was playing out of his mind. He and Tommie were always bringing pressure which is a very reason why the D was so dominant. Now we have Urlacher and Briggs who are still good but they have no support behind them in the secondary and our D line gets no push whatsoever. Peppers has been making an impact but he hasn't gotten to the quarterback much at all this season and it has hurt our overall defense. When you have such a vanilla defensive scheme like the Cover 2 it's imperative that you get pressure from your front 4. When you don't, almost any quarterback can beat the cover 2.

Aside from Cutler not throwing as many picks (Knock on wood) Martz has been worse than Turner's offense. Atleast Turner called far more short 3 step drops to protect what little protection Cutler had from the offensive line.

Let's be real here, anybody not named Jimmy Clausen can look like Peyton Manning whenever they play against the Bears. And on the flip side any defensive end/ LB/ DT can look like Reggie White when they are rushing the quarterback. It's just ridiculous and inexcusable.

Well that was two awful teams we just watched right there.

LOL that guy got blown up. Too bad we still lose because we have no TO's!

This team is full of fail. This is disgusting.

You have got to be kidding me. What a absolutely god awful no call. HOW IS THAT NOT PI?!:?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Jesus Christ do we have the dumbest team in the league?

OMG. Hester is a moron, and this faggy looking punter is pissing me off.

I'd be willing to bet at this point last year we were scoring more and probably gaining more yards than with Martz.

This is a grade school offense. It's so bad it isn't even funny. Where is Ron Turner?

Leave it to the Bears to freak up a good run by Manning. Unbelieveable.

Your preaching to the choir dude

We are the luckiest 4-1 about to be 4-2 team on the face of this earth. This Bears team is terrible.

Hasselbeck has a day and a half to throw, defensive line getting absolutely no pressure at all. Peppers has to do something.

My god are we awful

Atleast we finally started in Seahawk territory. 2 first downs and we are in FG range.

And this is one of the reasons I didn't want Mike Martz to begin with. He puts no emphasis on blocking at all, all he thinks about is throws down the field. You combine that with our atrocious offensive line and you get a disaster.

I wish I could play DE against the Bears, even I could get a sack.

It also makes no sense to make Cutler go into a 7 step drop back at our own endzone
