This is exactly what I think the biggest problem has been. There's just nobody plugging the middle and keeping guys off the LBs to make tackles in the running game. That, plus the inability to get any kind of pass rush on a regular basis have just killed the defense. Good play up front really hid the weaknesses of the safeties last year it appears. I don't know of many teams who could hold up in the defensive backfield without any kind of disruptive play along the line anyway. Yeah, it's revealed weaknesses in the backfield but it's just too hard to succeed on D with nothing happening up front.

I feel like I can go back to any week this year and find calls that weren't just bad judgement -- they are just wrong on the actual rules, or missing something so obvious that you wonder how it's possible. It just seems like the officiating in this league is going backwards. I don't know what the solution is, but I hate when things like that happen and it just never ends.

With that loss the Bears became the only division leader with a negative point differential. The only team in the NFCN with a positive differential? Detroit, who just got eliminated. I would never, ever have believed that the NFCN would be won by a 9, or even 8 win ballclub at the beginning of the year. But here we are. The Packers are under .500 on the road this year and the Bears are 5-2. It's pretty clear this team is much better at home, so I'm expecting a good effort and solid preparation this week, and a win on Sunday afternoon. Any kind of lackluster effort will be met with extreme scorn. What I saw yesterday just simply can not happen next weekend.
-
Agreed, but this whole season's been touch-n-go and yet the Bears still have shot to put in a good game at home and make the playoffs.
-
Oh, I'm down with the Packer hate. We need a mind wipe to erase tonight's game. Clear the mind, because Bears/Packers FOR ALL THE [expletive] MARBLES is upon us!!
-
He's been medically cleared to play? No, McCarthy already said he's not.
-
If Rodgers plays, they can beat anyone, Seattle included So, put Rodgers in the RG3 scenario even if he's not medically cleared?
-
Packers have to consider carefully whether their entire franchise is worth an 8 win, one-and-done team. If it's me, I play Flynn unless I've got multiple doctor's signature in blood. They already have the doctors OK. I don't see how playing Rodgers hurts the franchise at all. At worst he hurts the collarbone worse and is back 2 months before training camp. Trust me the Packers aren't taking any chances with that collar bone, and that's the likely reason you haven't seen him back yet.

Well, any team that can run the ball and avoid turnovers will absolutely shred this defense. Makes me feel like throwing up. Not sure why you're OK with it.
-
Good. Who cares? Screw [expletive] NBC
-
Well if it makes anyone feel better McCown looks like ass too with unblocked monsters in his face
-
yep There are stats that prove it now, too
-
Here comes McCown Let the controversy begin!!!!
-
Well, at least we have next week. More than you can say for the Lions.
-
About as fucked as losing your star NBA player with 2 season-ending knee injuries.
-
He just got old, that's all. As I recall the Bears chose to keep him around this year when they didn't have to.
-
In fairness it looked like he was trying to play linebacker there, to make up for our hapless bozos who get blown out of their position every [expletive] play
-
Rofl.
-
I think Cutler needs the work, guys. Can't pull him, he's not sharp and we need better next week.
-
At this point I'm very concerned about this beat down having a carry-over effect on next week
-
Lol! Unreal
-
Bears defense: able to cause an occasional punt. That's a couple notches above the Cowboys -- WOOT!
-
They've been doing it all night, thanks for finally calling it now that it's too late
-
No soup for you
