How much of Mack's disappearance is his injury vs. teams adjusting to him? It's hard to believe how fast the D went from awesome to terrible but here we are. That's the biggest thing I see, not Mitch's play. The D is going to see this same offensive scheme for the rest of year, but not every team can execute it like the Pats. I see a mix of good and bad teams left on the schedule. Win the next 2 and maybe the confidence level rises enough to beat the Lions @ home, leaving us 6-3 heading into a tough game vs. the Vikes. I didn't expect much yesterday, so I guess the Bears outperformed. I'm much more upset about the Dolphins loss and right now I'm dumbfounded by the cliff-drop of the D over the past two weeks, even with Mack's injury.
