Truly one of the key elements of our team along with Mannelly and Maynard (even though he had a rough game last week). With Field position being so critical our special Teams do an outstanding job in that department. Too bad we seem to struggle to take advantage of it like we should. Having a guy like Robbie makes it easy to forget about guys like Chris Bonehead and the seemingly endless parade of imitation NFL kickers we shuffled through prior to Eddinger who was best known for the weirdest kicking routine I've ever seen.

This about sums it up

of all the teams play this way against..... It'd have to be the friggin Bengals and Benson.

at least we didn't get shut out

now that we're down 31-0 with seconds left in the first half we show a sense of urgency If the team had diarrhea they'd be **** our of luck with this kind of urgency

even the waterboy sucks

why are we calling time out???? What's the point of prolonging this

may as well take a knee before this gets worse

Can't believe the stats... 22 tackles by the defense. Doesn't feel like we've tackled anyone

That would be an improvement

Tip INT........ :puke :bang :bang :bang :banghead Halftime score 35-0 Cincy

this is beyond sad. Who will score on us next. Final Score 108-0 Bengals

Lance and Jay may be the only ones. Wonder if Jay's going to demand a trade to get out of this hell hole

well, we'll soon be down 28-0 do we just go home?

Bengals offense Bears Defense

And even preschool kids could show you how to beat it without thinking

..... and in todays walkthrough practice in Cincy

fire the Bears

this is possibly our week to get blown out 59-0

Because we are unprepared, uninspired, and poorly coached. Our players don't give a dam and are ok with loosing and looking bad doing it.

yet another uncontested TD.... 14 nothing. We are a friggin joke

The Bears look like they have mailed it in already. Sick of watching this crap

IMO the reason we are blitzing so much is because a of a lack of talent in the secondary. I think the hope is that we can get to the QB before we can get burned down field. Sadly though that hasn't worked and teams abilities to pick up our blitzes has allowed opposing QB's time to then pick us apart. A DB's job gets harder the longer the play goes even for good DB's when your DB's are mediocre at best continual failed blitzing is pure suicide. Blitzing for the sake of blitzing isn't a good strategy we need to be more creative and careful with our blitzing. We simply do not have the secondary to make up for failed blitzes down after down. IMO we are gambling on D and are loosing that gamble more often than not.

Totally agree, this deal works for everyone. It gives him an extension, gives the Bears time to build around him and evaluate if he truly is the best fit for the Bears (not saying he isn't or that I'm not thrilled with him), and if the next deal is big it means that he has done what we brought him here to do. It also stabilizes the QB position so we can address the other need areas on the team. Namely OL and many have pointed out it does help to have a franchise QB if he's constantly being pounded, harassed and generally running for his life down after down. Next priority is evaluate, and come up with a plan to fix the OL.

3 turnovers in scoring position (including the turnover on downs) were the killers. first one the pick, the defensive free roamer able to make the play on a ball thrown too far outside. second, first and goal inches from the goal line and we fumble not once but twice on consecutive plays resulting in turn over. Third the final drive we had opportunity after opportunity and we shoot ourselves in the foot with stupid penalties offensive pass interference and we were in a hole on 3rd down on our own 29 needing the 4. We nearly get the first down. Then the offsides making it 4th and a long 5. and an incomplete pass. The other turnover was the pick on an overthrow when we were moving the ball. Conclusion this was sloppily played game and we deserved to lose. Inexcusable, we had two weeks to prepare for this game. This is one we should have won and these types of losses are the ones that can come back to haunt you.
