    Good call. This reminds me a bit of the old Ron Turner offense when Forte was the only legitimate offensive player. I assume Bennett is out next week; even if Hester is back, you probably have to go bargain hunting or look at the practice squad. Can't go with Marshall/Weemes/Sanzenbacher/Hester(?) as your receiving corps. Wasn't it possible that Jeffery could be back from his surgery next week?

    You think with the new rule that all scoring plays are reviewed they'd be more willing to call close scores as TDs because it's a free replay. But isn't it the same as the normal replays where there has to be inconclusive evidence to overturn? If so, then it would make sense for the refs to keep calling things the same way, no?
  3. UMFan83
    Now I know we are all biased to noticing things that don't go our way, but how did like 6 of us immediately know that he should have been given a TD because he wasn't down by contact, but the announcers are praising the refs for calling him down short of the goal line?
  4. UMFan83
    Good challenge, he wasnt touched until he was in the end zone. Announcers are dumb.
  5. UMFan83
    Especially with the other options out there. Considering the way Cutler has tunnel vision for Marshall, they could probably get away with letting the safeties just loosely cover Dane and Weems
  6. UMFan83
    So our offensive options are Marshall our 5th and 6th best WRs Our gimpy ankled RB Michael Bush And our league worst TEs
  7. UMFan83
    So wait, why is Bennett out? So our only healthy WRs are Marshall, Weems and Dane? Why not have Forte run some routes?
  8. UMFan83
    lol we're never going to see Seattle's side of the field on offense again are we?
  9. UMFan83
    15 seconds of blocking before a Bears player is able to finally touch him...for a short gain
  10. UMFan83
    Jesus christ, they are torching us through the air
  11. UMFan83
    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.
  12. UMFan83
    Another great Podlesh punt
  13. UMFan83
    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.
  14. UMFan83
    I don't know what's crazier, that we are losing at halftime, or that the Bears are going to go an entire half without using a timeout.
  15. UMFan83
    He didnt catch that but they called it a TD on the field
  16. UMFan83
    holy [expletive] [expletive]
  17. UMFan83
    Seattle on pace for 450 yards of offense today
  18. UMFan83
    Unreal. Thanks Lovie and Earl Bennett
  19. UMFan83
    Well Seattle is almost certainly going to score now unless we get a TO
  20. UMFan83
    Ugh, 1:44, 2 TOs and most likely decent field position.
  21. UMFan83
    Ugh, we might be putting them in a position to score before halftime.
  22. UMFan83
    Bears have clearly outplayed the Seahawks. Didn't get points on a 70-yard drive and Earl Bennett's drop. They've out gained us in total yards, passing yards and rushing yards. We are averaging 2.8 yards per rush, they are averaging 6.8. They had a promising drive taken away fumble that might have gone the other way if it was called down on the field, and were unlucky to not be able to fall on the 2 Bears fumbles, one of them being inside the Bears 15 yard line. I'm not saying they are dominating us, but I definitely wouldn't say we have clearly outplayed them. Yards per play: Seattle: 8.1 Chicago: 5.6
  23. UMFan83
    I wasnt worried before the game, but I feel like if we don't make good adjustments defensively at halftime, I could be worried. I also think that the missed 10 points we pretty much threw away adds to the worry.
  24. UMFan83
    OK Lovie, you owe us at least 3 points, lets get them back before halftime. Very disappointing drive. I'm worried about the defense today. Way too many big plays allowed Total Yards: Seattle: 185 Chicago; 157
  25. UMFan83
    And we're about to be tied in a half the Bears should have dominated
