Gotta love those three and outs that give the pack the ball all game......lol and you talk about my "ignorant hated" whaaahahahahaha

lol Whatever man. Please refrain from the personal attacks and calling my comments "stupid" like in a previous post. Bottom line is that Martz and Cutler haven't scored a touchdown on these guys in 6 quarters. You even agreed with me in you "grades". If you dont like what I say then dont respond.

Its also dependent on the quarterback actually hitting the wide open receivers with the ball.

Another 3 and out from Martz and Cutler, this sort of thing will be the death of us.

Another terrible throw. Cutler needs to get his crap together at half time.

Ball needed to be thrown.

Stop it. Cutler has missed on several open throws and the time of possession is terrible.

Pressure bursts pipes. Cutler looks like he is freaking out half the time. If he hits the open guys this game is tied right now. Martz is freaking out and going to his 7 step drops. The play calling has been average at best. They need to keep the ball out of Rodgers hands. Its not happening. And that last play was a joke.

Actually, if Martz and Cutler dont get their heads out of their asses it will be a long bad game.

Whatever it is guys, we are in the Championship game!!!!! Raise your hand if you called this at the beginning of the year. I know I didnt

I agree with Tillman, disagree with Jennings. he has had a couple of bad penalties and has been beaten be brandon stokely repeatedly

What a great time for a wildcat HB pass, come on man!!!! Also there is no doubt in my mind after watching this game that our first round pick needs to be a CB. I'm sick of watching Jennings not being able to cover frikin stokley.

gotta give it up to the line. Cutler has been getting a long time to throw.

Good points. To me the keys will be better balance on offense and quick passing when we throw. Same formula we have had all year when the offense has been good. Hopefully Martz realizes that now is not the time to experiment, open up the playbook, and show everybody how smart he is. When he does that crap, the offense costs us the game.

Agree, remember Kalil Bell looked good in a game once too....

And maybe his wont have alligator arms when running over the middle.....

Agreed. I clicked the link and Mr Shannon has a very nice little site. I especially like the that he summarizes info from many spots in one place. Good reading. I will have to make this a regular read, just like Noots. I also agree with who cares about multiple threads on postgame reaction. If people dont want to read them then dont.

God get Cutler out of there, he is pulling his girly crap.

Wow!!!!! Great find.

Yeah, average opponents like the Eagles and Jets, jeez.

How many wins do the Bears have this year?

The only part that is flawed is your logic. The two years prior to this one the Bears were tops in the league in blitzing, ie. aggressive which you say they are not. Well when the players aren't able to do their jobs it is the players not the schemes, chief Really? I see the LBer's hitting running backs at or around the line of scrimmage all the damn time. And Urlacher is a perfect LB for getting to the deep middle as he is the fastest linebacker in NFL history, duh. What? Wait? So are they passive or aggressive? Make up your damn mind. The CB has to be able to read what is going on to his side, can't do it if he is sitting inside, unless you want a receiver Running up the sideline untouched. My preference for getting a better corner is when we aren't in cover 2 they would have a better shot at playing man. And the fact that you sit around for weeks on end waiting for the defense to have a bad game so you can puff your chest and scream about how you been "saying it for years" tells me you have a drama issue, as in you love to create it. I dont know what poster said it but you overexaggerate everything. Hey Bud, I understand the purpose of the defense just fine. The bottom line is your are wrong when you label it as passive. Sorry, but thems the facts. And I like the subtle way you change from "they are waiting around for teams to make mistakes" to "of course they are trying to create turnovers", nice. Again no defense is perfect or everyone would be running the same one. This year the Bears defense has been pretty frikin good. Anyways I'm done arguing with you. You are not going to change your views and I'm not going to change mine. I will ask however that you cut out the drama and chest puffing and actually enjoy the season. Your act is wearing thin and its not just on me. Good day.

This, before the Jets game the Bears defense was 3rd in points allowed. All this is a poster who wants to run a 3-4 defense that blitzes all the time (even though before this year the Bears were at the top of the league the last two years in blitzes). Again, labeling the cover-2 as passive is just not accurate, but its good to get message boarders in an uproar. The dline in the cover 2 is an attacking one, the should be getting in gaps and getting upfield as opposed to soaking up block. Dline more aggressive. The LBer's. Man these dude flow and are as aggressive as they get. Sometimes too aggressive, as they are typically late to getting to their pass drops. (You can see that the OLB's were late getting to the slants especially last game). Safeties are hella aggressive coming down on the run and hitting. Harris and Wright deliver some shots. Again I would say that they are too aggressive as they come down to early and give up deep balls (although this year there has been much less of that now that we finally have some athletes in Manning and Wright back there). The biggest complaint from everybody that I hear in the CB's cushion. I agree. However, as you watched Tim Jennings get beat like a drum and we know that Tillman still gets beat even when giving the cushion, they dont have the ability to bump and cover. They just dont, so why the hell would we have them do that when in the cover 2. (In fact, after watching Jennings get beat off the line multiple times I suggested we need a big, fast corner in the draft who could play better man to man and was scoffed because they would be wasted in the cover 2, ridiculous) So really the only part of the damn defense that is passive is the CB cushion in cover 2. Now, another problem is that most believe we are in cover 2 all the time. Not true. And we are not in other coverages 1 out of 100 times or whatever exaggerations people will say. So just stop with that. All in all, the defense we run is not just sitting around waiting for the offense to make a mistake, and anyone who would have you believe this is wrong. They are trying to be fast, fly around, and CREATE the turnovers. Get that. Not WAIT, CREATE. Now, that being said, does the defense have weak spots, yes. But here is the thing, EVERY DEFENSE DOES. Every single defensive scheme can be beat. The difference is who you have playing in the defense. You have great players your defense will be great. Everyone goes back to the 85 Bears defense. That defense wasn't so much scheme as they pretty much had a Pro Bowl level player at every position. I've said for years that its not so much the x's and o's, but its the Jimmys and Joes. Sorry this was so long, but that stuff just irritates me sometimes. I think the real problem people have is with Lovie which is fine, but with 11 wins I think props are in order.

This, its not like we are in that all the time, its just makes for good complaining when they dont play well. Its real catchy to scream cover-2, cover 2 all the time. Its not like they are just sitting around waiting around either, they are trying to force mistakes. Its not as passive as some would make it out to be.

Crazy game, offense kept us in it. Defense was crap but sealed it in the end.
