Actually...
Right now is when the Bears D—in typical fashion— get the ball back to the offense through a turn over. It is so predictable. We fail to get a TD, get the FG and we go on right to the end hoping for a final TD drive only ended by another Cutler INT.
We need corners, lines, damn.

Out played by the Seahawks. This season has been all over the place.
There is no "I" in "TEAM" but there's "ME"
Biggest problem?
Horrible rushing. Seattle was able to rush for the pass the whole game because the Bears couldn’t move the ball on the ground. I know some will claim that it was because we didn’t rush enough, but I cannot blame Martz for not wanting to push the rushing issue when Forte and the line managed all of 11 yards on 8 rushes against what was effectively a constant pass rush. The only time the Seahawks protected against the run was on the 4th down play and that ended up in a 24 yard run by Taylor.
The best fix for our horrid pass protection is to fix the run. Teams aren’t even defending against it now, and the Bears still can’t move the ball.

Not going to happen this year......
But something has to be done about the rushing. Lynch and Forsett were getting hit behind the line of scrimmage frequently, and still gutted out yards and made people miss. Forte and Taylor did not accomplish that except on Forte’s TD run and the 4th down run by Taylor.

I hate it when they just take a knee and let the clock run out.
One thing I like about arena football is this rule:
During the final minute of the fourth quarter, the clock stops if the offensive team has the lead and fails to advance the ball past the line of scrimmage. This prevents the offensive team from merely kneeling down or running other plays that are designed solely to exhaust the remaining time rather than to advance the ball downfield, as often occurs in outdoor football.
Can the NFL adopt that?

The team played well despite Ron “The Douche” Turner’s horrid playcalling. And 374 offensive points is considered a good year anywhere. The reason it only lasted one year was because the line was aging when it was built, and Thomas Jones was sent packing. Not to mention the decision to rotate QBs for the next few years. 2006 was a good scoring offense by any standards.

My memory might be tricking me a bit...
But in 2006, as I’m flipping through the PFR box scores, the only game that I can really remember where our defense and ST literally had to carry us into the locker room victorious was this ‘un vs ARZ. Every other game, they just had to play well enough for us to outplay Bad Rex. Honestly, I’d say that even just the threat of Rex being able to throw deep was enough for our offense, especially with our run game at the time.
For as Jekyll and Hyde as Rex was, given his first few games that year, we did need him.
by Steven Schweickert on Oct 17, 2010 9:59 PM CDT up reply actions
I maintain that I'm not
“changing history”. That team was overrated and that window closed before it was all the way open between Lovie’s outdated system (which unless you have the exact right pieces, an offense that keeps them off the field, and a good matchup) and Turner’s predictablity on offense that team wasn’t as special as Chicago would like it to be remembered.
They had a good year, but theres a reason that year stands out in the Lovie Era: everything feel in place by luck. Healthy and Good Rex (at least for the first 6 weeks) with a opportunitistic defense? Great. They had a good solid season, but if this team were run properly that wouldn’t stick out the way it does.
Part of it is the fact that that SB has me still severly pissed. I was a lone Bears fan surrounded by Colts fans (only one of whom knew anyone other than Manning). But the rest is the fact that that team for all its success is the root of a LOT of problems on this current roster. Thats the year that got us stuck with Lovie (because you can’t fire a coach even if he isn’t very good after a SB appearance) got Harris & TIllman paid. Got Chris Harris traded (b/c we had so much “depth”). Was the beginning of the severe Danneal Manning Disease. And created this era’s false reputation as a “great” defense.
So yeah, you can cite stats. I enjoyed that season at the time, but I do NOT remember it fondly.
Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it. -George Halas
Some of what you say here rings true, but....
I have a few bones to pick….
First, Chris Harris was traded because Lovie wanted Adam Archulleta, not because we had so much depth. And DMS started in 2008. Manning played FS til that point.
Second, There wasn’t a false “great” defense. It was a great defense. The Super Bowl didn’t change that. Lovie Smith did by letting Ron Rivera go because Rivera go so he could insert sock puppet number one at DC. The defense hasn’t been right since. Cover two is run successfully all around the league still. It wasn’t about Lovie’s system in 2005 and 6. It was about Rivera’s implementation of that system.
Third. Why is it that whenever someone is losing an argument, they always say things like “so yeah, you can site stats”? The only stats I cited (see, I can play pointless games to. Did it make my argument more credible?) were the ones that you were entirely wrong about. 374 points and #2 scoring offense. These things actually happened. They aren’t debatable. They simply are. I could understand the argument if they were subjective stats that didn’t reflect the conversation accurately, but your position was that the Offense in ‘06 wasn’t that good, and that just wasn’t the case. They moved the ball and they scored, and they did it better than every team in the league except Indianapolis.
And finally, the SB season had little to nothing to do with the aged decline of Charles Tillman (and his inability to stay upright on Chicago’s turf, wtf?), nor does it have anything to do with the injury prone lethargy that is Tommie Harris. In fact, I would instead forward the argument that it’s another indictment of Angelo that these two highly paid players (especially Tommie) are still on the roster. Any other GM would have ditched Harris to free up money. If anything, I’d think the high salary would have greased the wheels of Tommie’s vehicle of exit. Somehow it has not.
Now on to the other side of the argument. You are absolutely right in mismanagement of a very talented team. You are absolutely right on that season getting an extension for Lovie that has him still at the helm. And I get the whole surrounded by Indy fans (I live in Indiana) thing, as well. And one more thing I completely agree with the your analysis of Ron “The Douche” Turner. The mistake so nice that Chicago made it twice.
My point is, though, that I won’t try and change history just because Smith, Turner and Angelo were to stupid to correctly navigate the ship after the SB. ’06 consisted of a great defense and a very good offense, in spite of Turner and Smith.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Too vague. How do you feel about our O-line for instance?
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
Who's sugar coating?
lay off the caffiene. The o-line sucks and EVERYONE knows it. you’re not exactly breaking news here.
But the team has overcome the line 4 out of 6 games. Nobody should sugar coat the line, but jumping off the cliff ain’t gonna do shit either. This tema is stuck with the Matadors of the Midway. Might as well start trying to figure out how to win with what we have.

We could've had the best record in the NFC with a win today.
What a shame.
Yeah but it worked!
we are not one player away from having an o-line

AP fumble!!!
"We were freaking robbed!! Our defense totally dominated all day! What? we gave up nearly 500 yards on defense? Yeah but we stopped them on the 1 yrd line! Our D is awesome!!"

I heard so many experts give so many reasons why the Bears would win.
They were wrong on every one of them.
tired of watching the
defense play its heart out while the offense just goes along for the ride
i live in baltimore i had to watch that same nonsense watching there games
samething happening here, we are on the field too much.
offense giving up too much pressure resulting in too many o for’s on third down
short yrd situations o-line cant get a push
1st down o line cant get a push
someone said their 5 year old and their friends could be a better o line and i agree

Is there going to be a separate afternoon game thread?

Nah--nobody'd find it.
I might just go take a nap and come back for the night game.

We ran out of hard stuff and didn't notice til the liquor stores were closed last night.
all we have is beer and cider (magner’s). and box wine.

Gonna stay away from the box wine
Hubby saved the day and went out for Dairy Queen blizzards for all. Chocolate with Heath bar chunks is good therapy.
