Hester has done an absolutely miserable job as the punt returner today. Like to the point where he needs to be taken off punt returns for the rest of the game because he's absolutely killing the team.

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.

 

That's a really dumb post. A couple good stretches doesn't mean you didn't have a bad day.

Neither does a couple bad ones.

 

Your posts on the Bears defense this year have been uniformly stupid, by the way. If you step back from the immediacy of the individual games, they've been one of the better units in the league.

This is a dumb response. You seem to think either a defense can be great or it can be awful with no in between. But there is. The D has had some bad drives but they've had more good ones. Overall, they've given up 3 scoring drives. That's an average performance, and possibly slightly above considering they had to be on the field for 13 more plays than the opposing defense has. The defense did nothing to lose them the game. They didn't play a great game, but our offense should be able to score more than 21 points most weeks.

What is it with our receivers being so [expletive] incognisant of where the 1st down marker is? Knox just took a 1st away from the Bears wow.
