A resilient win against the defending champs

Let's kick another FG now LOL

Bears WIN!!!!!!!!! :headbang :headbang

If the Bears pull this one out Reed might need body guards

I wonder if it has to do with his hammy it was sore in early workouts. Well, this is where we find out what the Bears are made of.

need to tackle better

Knox is da man!!! Nice drive spread the ball around and looked sharp.

Brown making some big plays And the FG misses We have got to take advantage of these opportunities

poor tackling is back

Anderson was held on that play. doesn't mean it's ok to retaliate but Pit's getting away with holding a lot

we need to use Forte's speed to the outside. We have gotten nothing at all up the gut. AP's big runs were to the outside.

Very true and I'll take it as well. I'd have been sick if we'd have ad to settle fore a FG. I admit I was worried when we gave up that long drive and did nothing on offense or defense till we got that pick. We very easily could have quickly found ourselves down 14-0. The thing that concerns me is we can't take nearly an entire first half to get our heads in the game. We need to get a better start out of the gate. We keep doing this we are going to be playing from behind a lot. That will wear a team out fast. It puts more pressure on a young group of wide receivers. We definitely miss Urlacher on Defense

Also nice to see JK adjust on that play to get open and make a good gain out of it. This kid could be something special. Jay needs a dependable target like that.

Davis has looked good and Knox has looked good both are showing good hands. Man is Knox fast. Cutler and the Receivers get on the same page and gel they could be dangerous. AP doing a great job on that drive. Forte has disappeared this season so far. Olsen has been disappointing so far as well. BTW I think that was a catch and at least should have been a personal foul for spearing.

way to finish the drive Nice Job

Knox really making his presence felt

well, as ugly a start we have the ball and are still only down 7, albeit inside our own 5 to start the drive. offense really needs to do something here. field position like this can be devestating.

Good job hanging on two. unfortunately that drive halted. That was a critical holding penalty.

needed that turnover. Offense needs to step up now. Defense needs to get their heads on straight, steelers have it way too easy

what an ugly first quarter We may well be down 14-0 when we get the ball next and have not gotten one first down yet.

spoke too soon lol.

So far the Lions have kept themselves in the game. It would be funny if Detroit pulls out a win against the Vikings. But then again the Browns held them close for about as long and then collapsed.

IMHO Screw Hub, always eager to get his digs in. Picking his brain is like trying to figure out what a woman is thinking.

We've also had some of the worst QBing over that stretch of time and beyond as well. With the exception of a few flashes of competency. Yes Sunday looked absolutely awful from a QB/WR standpoint Jays body of work indicates that he's better than he showed and he did settle down as the game went on which is a big difference from Rex if Rex had had that kind of first half start he'd have found a way to do worse in the second half with him when he hit rock bottom he began to dig. The positive I take from that game is that Jay calmed down and took back control of his game and didn't let it continue to get away from him. As ugly as things got he put us in a position to win. We were a blown coverage away from possibly leaving GB with a win. But I also don't blame the D for the loss as they held a potent GB offense in check for most of the game and as an offense that's all you can ask. The offense just needs to step up their game from coaching all the way down to the execution on the field. The line needs to do it's job, Jay needs to trust his line to give him time and make his reads, WR's need to run their full route at least two of the picks were caused by a WR stopping his route. People will only remember that Jay threw 4 picks not that at least two of them were not his fault. The mistakes that are happening are chemistry and timing mistakes. Fortunately those things should diminish with time and the passing game should improve. There were a lot of drops as well. Hester did look the best of the WR's out there. He had a solid game. As Bolingtwig mentioned he did a better job in the return game as well, no big plays but he didn't lose yards and didn't attempt to field the punts inside the 10 like he did before he let them go.

thanks for passing along and explaining that, now it does make sense why he's saying done for the year. Despite what we as fans want these things are a quality of life decision. Like when a player retires while they are still effective so they can physically enjoy the rest of their lives. Perm nerve damage is a serious thing. I can't blame him making that call. Brian has had his share of injuries and when you stop and think about these guys that have surgery after surgery when they get old are likely going to have problems. I too was thinking why not just get one of those big casts and keep playing when I heard just dislocated wrist I though, come on man tough it out. but knowing the details I don't blame him. Let it heal properly and be ready to go for the 2010 season. This season may in fact have many growing pains while I still think we can overcome the poor play of this past week and salvage this season and make the playoffs. I'm not going to expect anything beyond that. It's easy to loose sight that we have a lot of young inexperienced guys at WR and we have only had Jay with us since this offseason. Chemistry doesn't just happen it's built over time. I'm thinking that next year might be the year we make a push for the SB. This year I'm looking for improvement, and a playoff birth. Not having Brian will hurt but, it is what it is, and he's not there. Time for the other guys to step up. Brian left the game fairly early and to be honest I don't think that Hilly didn't do that bad of a job filling in for him. He didn't stand out but he also didn't make a negative impact either. I do think the idea of moving Briggs to the middle would work out. Aside from URL he's our most athletic LB. If we get Pisa back soon then we can fill the other spot with Hilly, Roach, or Williams and it may not be as bad as we think.
