[Soriano12]

Zebra Crew 6

 

Bears 3

[Transmogrified Tiger]

They tried to get the FG team out there?

[Southpaw191679666239]

Horrible, horrible half...

[Shavo]

Both D's look excellent

 

 

 

What game are you watching?

 

The one where the score is 6 to 3?

 

 

Score is not always indicitive of what is actually going on. Missed tackles are aplenty.

 

True, but the score is still 6 to 3. Missed tackles don't count against the score.

[CubmanPi]

What happened that last play?? I just saw a catch, then it was halftime.

[Careless]

Lovies crappy challenge takes 3 points away from the Bears

he is so very bad at challenges, they need to get someone to do that for him

[UMFan83]

Those 3 extra yards that Moose fought for taking 4 more seconds off the clock really helped the bears into the tunnel

[jaydee]

what are the bears doing? they should not be losing to the trash known as the minnesota vikings.

[ToupeeOnFire]

20 passes, 6 rushes.

 

Unacceptable.

True, they do not.... but your words were "D looks excellent"... they are a far cry from "excellent".

[rawaction]

Good news is the problems can be corrected. Play smarter. Don't make dumb challenges. Don't make dumb throws in the middle of the field......and the Bears should dominate the 2nd half.

It is when you don't have good run blokocing and Thomas Jones is your RB. He cannot make anyone miss or create his own space for the life of him.

we somehow need to find a Zebra crew that calls it both ways.

[CubmanPi]

20 passes, 6 rushes.

 

Unacceptable.

 

The Bears haven't had a running game in ages. If they were to rugh the ball 15 times this half, they would have done it for 32 yards, if that much.

Lovies crappy challenge takes 3 points away from the Bears

What was wrong with it? The only replay that Fox ran showed the ball between his legs as he was going down, but you couldn't see when it came out. His team obviously told him that it came out and he challenged it.

 

How about burning a timeout by not having the right personnel out there for a field goal?

[Brian]

They tried to get the FG team out there?

 

they tried to get to the line to spike it

[UMFan83]

20 passes, 6 rushes.

 

Unacceptable.

 

 

The coaching staff is really bugging me with certain decisions. They always promise that they are a running team, and that they are committed to running the ball, but once they hit a little adversity, they lose control of their game plan and all the sudden its pass pass pass, that kinda disorganiztion only favors the other team.

I would say thats a little dramatic. A "far cry"? The fact remains that, despite horrible calls, they held the Vikings to 6 points.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

I think the Bears are going to win this game. They played their worst and they're only down by 3.

If they stop with the penalties and start tackling.

I'm pretty sure that was the FG team, I saw a white guy in the backfield and Muhammad and Berrian sprinting off the field.

I'm getting the Redskins/Texans game here. If you want to see "far cry from excellent" watch the Texans' defense. Brutal.

PUT BENSON IN THE GAME AND RUN THE FREAKING FOOTBALL!

It was clear live, it was clear on the replay, and the bears wouldn't have gotten the ball even if they had called it a fumble.

the way minnesota bliztes put them in good spots to get the qb but a quick handoff and there are very few players to stop jones in the backfield if he gets past the line
