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

[SpongeWorthy]

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.

 

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.

 

Because having a good stretch of defensive play is better than having no good stretch of defensive play. This isn't rocket surgery.

 

The defense has been pretty good this year, overall, btw. Just look at the stats. High in yardage allowed, high in yards per play allowed, at the top in takeaways, etc. Not great at stopping 3rd downs of course.

We'll probably need 6 more wins. Where are they coming from? Buffalo and Detroit are the only 2 teams we're better than

[Soul]

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?

 

It just shows how much of a guessing game the NFL is. People see one or two wins they weren't expecting, and they just flip their entire opinion of a team completely. Plus most of the national guys -- they aren't watching these teams closely. They're taking a couple tid bits here & there and making a whole buch of quick conclusions based on it.

Wow what an amazing disparity

First guy missed him. Again.

 

This is a completely unfocused effort on defense. Even when they get stops, there is [expletive] like this.

Don't know. They might not come at all.

[SpongeWorthy]

The Packers are losing, btw.

[SpongeWorthy]

Yes Billick, it does matter whether you stop the guy 10 yards short or an inch short as evidenced by us, once again, have ass field position.

[UMFan83]

What crap decision making the last 2 plays.

[UMFan83]

LOL, way to turn away from the 1st down marker Bennett.

 

0-10 on 3rd down.

[UMFan83]

That was the 3rd longest drive today for the Bears.

[kujay]

Yeah that was terrible.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Bennett is really stupid.

disagree with the punt

[SpongeWorthy]

He was not that short. [expletive] line judge was duped by the Seattle DB placing the ball.

I agree with you.

[cubbyvirus00]

Bears, Packers and Chargers losing to garbage teams.

good thing we punted! dont wanna give them good field position or anything

[Magnetic Curses]

i would bench bennett for not going for the chains on that catch.

[UMFan83]

Bears, Packers and Chargers losing to garbage teams.

 

I'm not sure that any of those 3 teams they are playing are garbage. Especially Miami.

[kujay]

Miami is not a garbage team.
