Game 12 - Seattle Seahawks @ BEARS - 12 PM - Louis on IR :(

[UMFan83]

Another great Podlesh punt

[Butterscup1679666578]

Podlesh is trash.

[rawaction]

Podlesh is done. Cut him tomorrow.

I'm surprised at the passing game for the Seahawks. Not sure what we have to do, but it would be nice to have DLine in front of Wilson more often because he can't see over them.

 

Their defense is good, and it does not surprise me to see the Bears struggle against it. I have actually been OK with some of the playcalls, but not taking 3 points when you could get it was bad. Certainly running it over & over when the quick passing game is working was not good.

 

You nailed it in the first paragraph, need to get more pressure.

 

When we have gotten pressure, Wilson is annoyingly tough to get down and has been able to make seemingly miraculous throws to find open guys.

[scarey]

If I hear them mention the 4th down play and how it changed the momentum one more time, I am going to find a way to bomb Soldier Field just so I make sure Ryan and Rosen are dead.

[UMFan83]

Jesus christ, they are torching us through the air

[Soul]

Wilson is just killing us.

[UMFan83]

15 seconds of blocking before a Bears player is able to finally touch him...for a short gain

[UMFan83]

lol we're never going to see Seattle's side of the field on offense again are we?

[Soul]

You know, a better throw and that's another killer play too.

 

Glad we stopped them but the dynamic isn't real good here. You've got a short, rookie QB and you need to be in his face.

[Butterscup1679666578]

i'd trade a 3rd round pick for jon ryan

[KaiserCesar]

I think if the OL can hold up, a few manufactured drives will happen. Don't know if the offense has a big play in it today.

[Soul]

Peppers is kind of having a down year too, isn't he.

[ctcf]

Man... If only Christian Ponder wasn't terrible.

[Soul]

Late hit, thank you.

[Omar]

Does anyone have the numbers for the amount of times Bears run on first down compared to passing on first?

[UMFan83]

So wait, why is Bennett out?

 

So our only healthy WRs are Marshall, Weems and Dane?

 

Why not have Forte run some routes?

[rawaction]

Forte a step slow hitting the hole today.

 

Helluva throw by Jay.

[Guest]

Unreal.

 

Thanks Lovie and Earl Bennett

 

You go for it on 4th and short on the other side of the field. Don't blame Lovie, blame Bush and the interior run blocking. And definitely Earl Bennett who cost the Bears 7 points.

 

They'd been getting stuffed on that play all game, including the play before I believe. I don't think it was completely outrageous of a call, but I would have taken the points, especially because there's no guarantee that they get the TD even if they convert. If they were to go for it, I certainly would have called a different play, like a sneak.

 

That's fair - I want a sneak too. But that complaint is on Tice, not Lovie.

 

If I hear them mention the 4th down play and how it changed the momentum one more time, I am going to find a way to bomb Soldier Field just so I make sure Ryan and Rosen are dead.

 

Felt like the Bennett drop is where the "momentum" changed.

[UMFan83]

So our offensive options are

 

Marshall

 

our 5th and 6th best WRs

 

Our gimpy ankled RB

 

Michael Bush

 

And our league worst TEs

[Omar]

So wait, why is Bennett out?

 

Concussion.

[Soul]

Took me awhile to figure out who caught that.

[Guest]

What a bad ass throw by Cutler to Marshall on the sideline.

[rawaction]

The EFF was that?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Took me awhile to figure out who caught that.

 

I just assumed it was Marshall because it was a tough catch.
