So last year the Bears defense finished 1st in the league in DVOA by a large margin (not sure the run/pass splits). This year they are much lower especially against the run. Just curious what people think the biggest reason is, considering there are several areas you could point to. -injuries to Briggs, Tillman, Melton, DJ Williams, Paea -losing urlacher and izzy (am I missing some losses?) -new defensive coaching staff -age leading to decline -poor drafting Obviously it's a combo of all and more but which one was the biggest reason the defense is embarrassingly bad? How do we get this fixed?

and tonight
-
I'm stunned and down about the game last night, but I don't think the Bears were exposed anymore than they were prior to the game. I trust Trestman to make adjustments offensively. I think the Bears win this one something like 27-17 and probably get destroyed by SF next week.
-
probably not in game shape mentally or physically. He looked slow to react and took some poor angles. For this week at least he looked lik ehe didn't belong on the field.
-
lmao
-
You know outside of the 1st and 4th quarters we were pretty competitive tonight.
-
This is going to hurt our point differential I think.
-
This is a good example of meatballing the other way Seriously. I'm trying to think of a player who clearly played better tonight but everyone [expletive] sucked. If Cutler was the best player he is king of the idiots.
-
Just wait until McCown puts up some garbage yards and maybe a TD. Thank Jeebus that Xmas will temper the stupidity. I think it will be the opposite. Meatballs will be gathering in person and talk will inevitably turn to the Bears and Cutler will be brought up and even people who aren't anti-cutler will be sucked into the meatball vortex
-
Is this the start of some idiotic meatball rant against Cutler? No, it was a rant against the meatballs who have taken it way too far the other way and can't admit when he sucks I'll call Jay out when he sucks. He wasn't very good tonight. Wasn't at all the biggest problem (defense, oline, special teams) but he wasn't good.
-
Great. Because of that the consensus is going to be that it's cutlers fault the eagles won by 36+ points.
-
That's on Trestman. Same with Podlesh. He's gotta do something about it. Trestman? Maybe the ST coach or the GM not giving him better options. I guess you could put some of the blame on him but I think there's better options. I think this is right but DVOA had the bears special teams in the top 8 every year for a decade under Taub. This year they are something like 16th
-
Gotta remind myself this is year one of trestman and year two of emery. They have implemented a lot of what they want but there are still holdovers from the previous regime they need to shed before they get to where they envision.
-
How shitty would it be to miss the playoffs 3 years in a row when: Year one you start 7-3 Year two you start 7-1 Year 3 you have to win either of your last two games and lose them both. Hope we don't find out how shitty that is
-
Someone should tell Chip Kelly's 1970s era Soviet juggernauts that they have a playoff game next week and this game means nothing.
-
10 more yards for cutler to pass luckman
-
Hey were still 3 TDs and 2 2 point conversions away
-
Packers fans are already crowing on Twitter about how much fun its going to be winning the division over the Bears next week
-
OK just need 3 TDs and 3 two point conversions to tie
-
Is there any sort of term to describe going from what we were feeling at 7PM to what we're feeling now?
-
Every play should be a rush or a screen pass. There shouldn't be any other plays called
-
Wish Gould would have hit that FG on 2nd down
-
I'm sure a large segment of the Bears fan base is hoping for a repeat that knocks Cutler out
-
Trestman's offense isn't about throwing deep balls in double coverage
-
Yeah offensive line is failing tonight
