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.

 

No, the defense has been spineless from the start today. The offense isn't helping matters, but they've shown no fight at all.

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

 

 

How to handle 1st and 1 from the 1:

 

1. Get 5 better offensive lineman

2. That's all

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.

 

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.

 

They were pretty bad at the start and then pretty good in the middle. To say they've been uniformly bad is just not true.

 

That was a bad drive for them but I do put some merit in the argument that the offense sucked the life out of them.

I still disagree. The Seahawks have had 3 good drives all game. The first drive of the game, and 2 others when the offense couldnt stay on the field. The other 8 drives of the game have consisteted of 6 drives that were over on 4 plays or less, one moderate drive of 37 yards, and another drive that was 6 plays for 12 yards.

 

That's a very average defensive day.

In large part because they can't tackle worth a [expletive] or stop anybody at any point on the field. Are you blind? Seattle is raping the Bears defense and their offense sucks.

This is the kind of confused, lackluster, unprofessional effort I expected to see more of, to be honest.

 

Heading into the season I thought we'd lose games by just not being able to be a cohesive football team. A few early wins and fans & media tend to forget what we were seeing in training camp & preseason.

 

But that stuff just doesn't go away magically. It's still here, and the Seahawks are feasting on our incompetencies. And now we kill our own plays too.

 

There's an INT too -- but I think he's out of bounds.

That's on the coaching staff. There is no excuse for an effort like this.

Its the coaching staff and its also the lack of talent.

 

I could not believe that a majority of the "experts" were picking the Bears in a blowout this week. I mean are you serious? This team?

I'm really tired of these commercials with these rich clowns fortunate enough to go to every Super Bowl. Congrats, pal.

What the hell is uniformly bad have to do with anything? You dont' win games by having a few defensive stands. The defense has been bad. They'd made a handful of plays, but they've been terrible overall. The offense has been abysmal, but the defense was bad before the offense had a time to hurt them.

I don't mind pitching it around, for the most part, but it'd be nice to throw out of formations where the threat of the run exists. It's too easy to sit in coverage or send some edge rushers against these weird ass alignments Martz has our running backs in.
