The worst one was a play where Devin Hester had his man beat and if Grossman would have connected it likely would have gone to the end zone, but it sailed high.

grossman obvioulsy throws the deep ball so much better.

for the Steve Spagnoli or McGinnis era (again) to begin?

that if we have our real quarterback in there we would have taken out the last undefeated team and would still be in sole possession of first place. It would be one thing if Rex made some mistakes but also made some nice plays, but I didn’t see anything positive from Rex. He was atrocious, underthrowing and overthrowing his receiver and throwing well behind Rashied Davis on a couple of plays. His saving grace, the deep ball, has been nowhere to be found this year. Thats twice in the last two weeks that he has missed a wide open Devin Hester.

He’s still doing that wrist/flick thing with many of his throws, apparently. I wonder what Pep Hamilton worked on with him during the week? Same annoying tendencies, rarely looked off his 1st options at receiver. Didn’t hear any boos, though – so no one can blame the crowd for this performance.

I thought todays game had a lot more to do with field position than anything else. sure the offense and defense looked spotty at times but given the fact that 10+ drives started for us inside our 20 and then the defense was forced to defend a short field….

1. Kudos to the titans…they came on the road in a cold, hostile envirnoment and played their type of ball.

2. He wont get much praise im sure around here, but rex has improved in some areas. pocket presence is much better,especially on the early drives. i thought he went through his reads decently well, especially on the td to forte which i believe was his 3rd read. He missed some plays.. 3 or 4 on my count…Booker catches that slant late, i think we’re talking about something else right now.

3.)Kerry collins is apparently an incarnation of joe montana… or scratch that our pass defense made him look like that way. we gear up to shut down the run and when we do, we have no answer for the pass…..really?

4.) dave toub was a genius the last two years…or so ive heard. i havent seen any game chaning plays from special teams all year. i wonder if brandon lloyd comes back if he might get hester to focus more on special team returns.

5.) other than shutting down the run, can anyone figure out what was the gameplan in any of the three phases?

when a team is forced to be one dimensional like the titans, you would think we could get some takeaways, it would have been huge to flip the field position battle.

didn’t see a whole lot of jamming the titan WRs at the line…we gave them a nice cushion, like we do everybody. no pass rush at all (again), largely because collins almost always took a few steps back, saw 2-3 wide open players, and threw the ball before anybody on our line had a chance to rush him. this is getting ridiculous. if we play this soft coverage, we absolutely need to blitz the QB. otherwise, ANYBODY (kerry collins is not that good, people) will pick us apart. or (a crazy idea), we could play more physical against the WRs. if we throw their timing off, our line might actually have a few more seconds to generate a pass rush. lovie/babich better start making some adjustments asap, or else both will be out of a job by the end of the season – there is NO WAY we will make the playoffs playing this scheme, unless the offense becomes an absolute juggernaut.

The return on the last possession was a td if this was 07 or 06. That extra little burst is gone. I don’t know why.

How can the face of the defense turn into an anonymous face that isn’t even mentioned? Sadly, it’s because Urlacher seems more than anybody to have taken his extra cash and decided to play with half a heart this year.

In just this game I watched as he’d run into an o-lineman and either fall down or bounce backward and then do nothing at all. It’s either Urlacher is being called to blitz and fake blitz too much — or he just isn’t covering the middle of the field as in years past. Where are those big paws hauling in one-handed INTs on slants and TE posts? Is it Babich’s scheme or is Urlacher just sucking. I find no excuse in his neck and back. He’s constantly trying to hit an offensive lineman. Perhaps he’s confused, as I did see Chris Johnson do a nice spin move around him, luckily before Brown and Co. made the tackle two yards later.

Bo Scaife killed us. Just killed us. Couldn’t Urlacher have shadowed him?

As I mentioned earlier, he looks to be regressing with his play, no difference from last year. No stepping into his throws, that damn wrist flick, etc. – he needs a change of scenery, no doubt he’ll get it after the season’s over. He will not win in GB.
