Agreed. Didn't like the initial penalty on the OL, but the running attack has been looking pretty good. And the TD run was up the middle...which is all OL (and a great seal block by Olsen).

 

What I don't like right now is the D...they don't look great. The fumble was nice, but the pressure isn't happening and the cover-2 has holes.

Yes but there has been a Tommie Harris sighting....

 

What the hell has gotten into him?

Tommie has been in on two good plays. Unfortunately, the Bears' cover-2 is the Bears' cover-2. It relies far too much on a four-man rush creating pressure, and allows average QBs to carve up the secondary for the majority of the field.

 

Hell, on the one play that there was a rush, the Bears sent 6 and the Jets calmly stoned it before throwing a 10-15 yd completion.

 

Let's hope they hold here.

Well there Tommie got killed on the TD play so that sucks.

 

 

So what should they do if their 6 man blitz gets stoned?

Design less predictable blitz packages and use them in unorthodox, unpredictable patterns. Other teams can do it, but it's just not part of the cover-2 package.

 

Ever notice how frequently the Bears send a blitz that gets stoned? It sure does seem to happen more often to the Bears than most other teams I watch. When was the last time you saw a Bears' blitzer come clean? Not that often. I just flipped the channel during commercials, and saw it happens in the Rams/Niners game.

This Bears team is definitely one and done. Defense = overrated and Cutler is essentially Rex Grossman.

 

I hope you're wrong, but I suspect you're right. I've said it pretty much all year. But since they've officially made it into the playoffs, I'm going to hope for greatness over expecting the norm.
