Bears game 6: Sunday Oct. 17 vs SEA on FOX

[Omar]

Why can't we tackle worth a damn?

[Magnetic Curses]

somebody tackle lynch behind the line or is that his superpower?

[kujay]

They aren't forcing mistakes. No pressure at all. Bad tackling. Just too easy for Seattle.

[17 Seconds]

seems like there's been a letdown from peppers after returning to carolina

[Magnetic Curses]

seattle is quite simply a much better team than the bears.

[UMFan83]

I know I'm not breaking news, but this line is terrible. It was always going to be terrible because they ignored it. That freaking pisses me off so much. Because it was obvious 5 years ago. And the defense is not good.

 

The defense is fine for the most part. It's hard to keep playing well when the offenses longest drive is like 6 plays, and then after that like 4 plays.

 

No, the defense was giving up plays left and right from the start today. They aren't good. They are occasionally opportunistic, but not good.

 

They gave up a TD on the first drive. That's allowed to happen. Next 3 drives were 4 plays 10 yards, 3 plays, -1 yards, 3 plays 8 yards. Then the Bears started going 3 and out on every play and the D tired. I'm not saying the D played great today, but they haven't been at all the problem.

[Soul]

I didn't want to say it before because it was early, but I don't see how we win this game now.

 

Just not getting the results from play to play that we would need to produce a win. We're getting beat in some way, shape, or form on most plays, both offensively and defensively. Simple math dictates: = loss.

 

Plus we aren't getting the turnovers we'd need to flip this thing around. We're just being ground into the turf by the Seahawks.

And Jerry had plenty of time to put together some semblance of a solid line knowing you had Martz coming in whose offenses rack p a ton of sacks.

 

Yes and no. He's had a decade to fix the line that he ignored. But by the time Martz showed up their fate was set in stone. The line sucks and it has for four years. You can't fix that in one offseason. You have to address the line every single draft and every single year. It's the single most important position group on the field. You need 1 QB, you need 5 OL.

The line has been bad since the 2nd half of 2006.

 

Right, but my point was that it had to be even more of a priority with the Martz offense coming in.

[cubbyvirus00]

This is horrible. We're going to lose to the Seahawks.

The defense has been weak from the start of today's game. There's no ifs ands or buts. It's been bad for 3 years, and it's bad right now.

By then it was too late.

[UMFan83]

Can you imagine when we're gonna be in a position where we have to win 3 of 4 against the Vikings, Jets, Patriots and Packers to make the playoffs.

[ctcf]

We're toast today.

[kujay]

I hope someone was taking notes there on how to handle a 1st-and-1.

[Magnetic Curses]

there is no excuse for not tackling a bum like lynch. he has broken first contact every time he's had the ball.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Marshawn Lynch is the hardest person to tackle in NFL history

[CDBears1259]

Ugh 10 pts. is going to be insurmountable the way they're playing.

You saying 'no ifs ands and buts' doesn't prove anything or make your statement true. Our defense was fine, until our offense started going 3 and out every drive. The Bears have been on defense for just about 2/3rds of the game so far.

[Magnetic Curses]

hasselbeck is the best quarterback in the league, hands down, he never makes mistakes at all and he never takes sacks.

[cubbyvirus00]

Marshawn Lynch, your 2010 NFL MVP.

[17 Seconds]

the bears will finish 9-7, sneak into the playoffs, get obliterated in the first round, and it will be enough for lovie to keep his job another year. yay!!
