Bears at Giants Quick Recap

D played well???

Only thing I can think of is that he comes back and helps the line.

GET IT DONE JIM ….oh wait….jerry

For a while there, i thought I was going to see Bobby Douglass come onto the field.

about this o-line since week one.
they are horrible im trying to figure out what mike tice smokes cause he thought we looked good

HE MAY BE STILL WORKING FOR THE VIKINGS WATCH HIM…. wait who said that?

Remember last year when we started off 3-1 with a win over the Steelers and everyone was thinking we we’re the real deal? Yeah, good times, good times….

we could only survive with the o line problems for so long before it came back to haunt us.

Martz did a poor job with his play calling.

No matter what people say Cutlers concussion had to have happened in the first quarter something was just off about him.

Hats of to the giants defensive line they got it done and won the game. hope we meet again

Shite O-line…no run game…Cutler looking rattled…smells like 09

This game counts as one loss.

I’m not mad at the defense, they looked pretty good most of the night.

However, I’m absolutely crazy pissed at Martz, after the first 5 sacks is there a reason we didn’t go to the three step drops and the rest of the Cowboys package? It was obvious that we weren’t going to get the time to throw it down field so do something else?

We’re 3-1 and on top of our division.

run blocking and TACKLING.

And maybe theres a way out of the mess.

I however am still not sold.

PRICK!!

QB’s: C, Cutler was terrible, Hanie made a nice throw, Collins was the same as Hanie
RB’s: C, Better burst than expected
WR’s: B-, Knox is still good
TE’S: D, Olson caught a block but can’t block
OL’s: F- Horrible
DL’s: B+, Good pressure all night. Pep and Izzy played well
LB’s: B, Briggs was bad. Pisa was solid and Brian was all over
DB’s: B-, Good in run support for the most part, had to play man which is out of comfort zone
K: Gould was bad on kickoffs
P: Maynard was horrible tonight, need to look for an heir
ST: Hester let two go that he should have tried to pick up

We are still 3-1. Let’s all calm down. We overreact to everything. Plenty of time. Overall, a fun season to this point.

being favored sucks and always screws us over.

All I want to do is curse. Grah.

• Sloppy sloppy game.

• After borrowing Coach Quenneville’s line generator modified for O-Linemen, about all we really can do is just pray for better line play.

• If our hopes are pinned on Collins or Hanie for a few games, may Ditka help us all.

• Nine first half sacks. Now imagine if Kiwanuka was actually playing. Or not. I’d prefer not.

• Forte cannot run the ball, especially behind this line. Taylor only looked marginally better. As long as the line is this crappy, the offense just crawls to a halt. Kinda what you’d expect.

• Was anyone else having flashbacks to 2004 or 2005?

• On the Cutler interception in Olsen’s direction, he got too focused on his binky again… He had Knox running the drag, would’ve been a simple pitch and catch for the first down.

• Brandon Jacobs clearly still has ability. I guess somewhere down the line we got unused to getting hit in the mouth by a back.

• Batman needs a Robin on that line. Melton was getting more consistent penetration, though Harris did have that nice one play.

is it fair to say Collins is out?

I wanna know who else is our QB option. I still like Jeff Garcia.

FO_BBarnwell Quarterbacks sacked nine times or more in a game from 1993-2009 are 1-19-1.

And it gets shoved right up their asses

This o-line sucks, but Cutler did hold on to the ball on a few plays way too long. Kinda glad I’m not drunk right now.

can we trade the entire draft now for Mankins?….seems like we could use the damn help…if your going to ruin the drafts to get Cutler why not do it to get someone to protect his butt

get better? Does this cost Lovie his job??!!

Drunken rant…. Good night all. We’re back to some kind of reality right now. BEAR DOWN!!

well to read anyways……Cya tomorrow…..and pray for Cutlers health this season and hope makes it through….

less miserable.

Would of been pretty pissed.

both teams all playing tough, if we have cutler we should be able to bounce back if we dont?…….

and a week of talking about how to beat the Carolina Kitties. I’m gonna go to bed before I start typing stuff that doesn’t make sense – well, less sense than usual.

But why the fuck didn’t we try to run it more? it you gotta find some way to offset that kind of QB pressure.

the defense is carrying this team, and it’s not just Peppers.

lost at golf, lost both fantasy games, and now this..time to go to bed so it is finally tomorrow..

panters— win
sehawks— win
ridskins— lose
bills— come on
am i right people am i right?

no shotgun, no screens, no nothing.

George Santayana comes to mind: “Those
who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Martz system has typically had tons of picks, tons of sacks and a history of getting Qbs concussions. As good as the Kool-aid tasted, I think we had a reminder of the poison which lies within.

Hopefully this quote does not ring true but certainly serves as a reminder after watching this awful performance tonight. I think the thought of no Turner might have hoodwinked us a little… or maybe it was a 1 game bad fluke. Here is hoping for the latter but understanding the possibility and reality of option #1.

Absolute refusal to try and establish the run against the 5th worse run defense in the league. Well done Mike. Abandoning the shotgun. Well done.

Cutler played so badly that one wonders if he didn’t get concussion on one of the early hits from the thousand or so he took. He was running out of bounds instead of tossing the ball away, the clock in his head either wasn’t working or he likes being hit.

Martz offenses :

1. Get their QB hit a lot.
2. Turn the ball over a lot.
3. Occasionally score a lot of points.

Well, we’re not going to achieve #3 with Todd Collins, that’s for sure. Caleb won’t last too long behind that line either, not with Greg Olsen and Omiyale’s blocking, amongst other’s – but theirs just stank.

And before anyone says thank God for our defense, Bradshaw & Jacobs ran for 129 and 62 yards with a 5 1/2 and 10 yard averages for a TD apiece. The #1 run defense looked very poor against a team that was missing their center and having trouble running the ball. Where do we go from here?

1. Cutler held the ball too long (like Big Ben at times does) But I can’t blame him for the offense failure.
2. Why the Fc*k do we NEVER let the QB change the damn play?
3. This is the worst O-line EVER, PERIOD, End of discussion.
4. We had no running game, cause we didn’t run the ball when Jay was in
5. This falls on the bad Coaching, the Linemen, and Angelo’s refusual to look for better linemen.
6. Why the hell was Collins old ass in the game?
7. The Giants D-line caught the Bears O-line on a bad night (usually they will allow about four sacks before the half) Thats then on a good night.
8. Olsen STILL can’t block for nothing
9. Manumalkala was a waste of money
10. At least defense gave it their all (all except for Tommie again)
11. Peppers is still awesome.

1. Cutler concussion was probably earlier than the Ross hit; he played like he was confused.
2. The O-line is simply useless; they cannot handle 3 or 4 guys with no blitzing.
3. Manu is a waste of space and money!
4. Forte cannot run between the tackles with this O-line.
5. C Taylor can run between the tackles with this O-line.
6. T Harris is done; he’s just flailing about, falling down, and doing nothing.
7. A Adams and Toeaina are the best combo at the DTs
8. Bowman is still not as good as Jennings.
9. Martz did not adjust at all and it may have cost the Bears a chance at the playoffs.
10. Next week will show how well Lovie can coach; if he can rally his team and the coaches to actually develop, execute and modify the game plan as needed, he deserves to remain the HC. Otherwise, I’m changing my tag line back!

I agree above with L I S, I think Cutler was foggy early on and he was not himself. He was hurt and shellshocked and unable to make good decisions with the ball. But the effort on the Oline is almost unforgiveable. They were just waving at guys as they ran by it was an em"bear"assment to athletes all over the world. The only reason we won the last 2 games in spite of them was their supreme effort to make up for their lack of skill. Lack of skill + lack of effort = disaster. The line between a good team and a poor one in the NFL is a very thin margin. A poor team that comes fired up and ready to play vs. a team that has superior talent and not ready to play is going to spell trouble. Our coaches did not have our offense ready to play last night.
