Chicago Bears VS. Atlanta Falcons - Second Half Game Thread

Briggsie_tiny by ChiFan13 on Comment 676 comments

Well, Robbie Gould can kick. That's the only positive to this whole game right now.

It's only 9-3, so maybe Lovie will circle the troops and get it done in the second half.

not with this little time left

2 scores in under 8 minutes, considering how poorly our defense has played…you have to get the points there.

by guy incognito on Oct 12, 2008 2:37 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ok, seriously

We had 9 guys blocking (seven on the line, two from the backfield) and we can’t hold the line. We didn’t have to move the line, we just had to hold it. If we hold it, Forte can jump over and into the endzone. But when you have to jump from two yards behind the line of scrimmage, you are not nearly as likely to get the three yards into the endzone. The line has done well for pass blocking during the game, but thy can’t seem to come up with enough push to hold.

Again, no need to move the line – just hold.

Ugh…

We have a week to 2nd guess

But the squib took 5 seconds off the clock, wouldn’t a regular deep kickoff have done the same thing? The odds of them getting another great return were not in their favor.

why squib kick?

kicking it deep takes plenty of time off the clock, too. more importantly, they have the ball (so long as our ST do a reasonable job) deep in their territory. besides horrible D today, the coaching was abysmal. 3rd and 1 to mckie (again), not opting for the FG, and then squib kicking at the end.

A winnable game where they stop the opponent’s huge running threat….yet they let the rookie QB throw for 300 yards? Great drive by Orton, but seeing all the celebration after taking the lead was just dumb. It’s the NFL, anything can happen in 11 seconds, and hopefully the Bears realize this too. The Vikings barely beat the Lions, let’s see the regroup.

doesn't matter

our scheme calls for soft coverage by the corners anyway, so all those slants are gonna work wether we have vasher/tillman or graham/hamilton.

they have been getting killed in the soft zone for a few years now. madden pointed that out in the game against philly…and lo and behold, everytime they played it, philly got a good play. i mean, the tampa 2 is great and all, but if you’re getting no pressure from your front 4 (and we got next to nothing today), many QBs can absolutely shred it. like we saw today.
