Bad loss and lovie needs to fired if he doesnt make the postseason but I'm not writing this team off. That would be stupid. The d wasn't prepared and Colin was great. It happens in the nfl.
I won't over react to one game. But I is dissapointing to get pants we especially after the bears failed to execute and beat the texans, whom they had out played had it non been for all those terrible turnovers.
Cutler really wasn't that bad all game. He had 2 sacks on back to back plays which I felt were on him (one being the fumble that led to the Panthers TD). Other then that, I thought he played pretty well. Missed a couple throws (including underthrowin the ball that was intercepted). However, he made a lot of good throws that were dropped for 1st downs (that were routine catches in this league). Those non-catches were huge as they prevented the team from continuing drives (and really prevented them from gaining momentum).
Late in the game he came up huge though. Was real nice to see them get the ball to Earl.
Webb has had two straight above average games. He's going to have some bad ones, but those were two games that he had in which I don't think Williams would be capable of. That said, he'll also have a couple stinkers which I don't think Williams would be capable of having.
All training camp those following the Bears on a regular basis were saying that Williams was stinking up camp and there was a chance he wasn't even going to break training camp on the roster. That was an indictment enough. Supposedly he was lazy, put in little work, and didn't do anything the coaching staff asked him to do. Which is really pathetic when you consider he was fighting for a spot.
They still have to do it against teams with above average to elite pass rushes. There are going to be games that the Bears are going to have to score a lot of points and against strong pass rushes. That is our achilles heal.
They had almost 200 yards of total offense in the 1st half. It wasn't like they weren't moving the ball. Game was very simlar to the Cowboys game. Effective offense in the 1st half (but not enough points to show for it), domination in the 2nd half.
Dude had his 3rd highest rating of his career. When you look at a small moment, things happen. Big picture, things are fine and the Bears are moving forward and getting better, which is exactly what they need to do.
Shea has looked pretty good. Where were you the other days when he had pretty solid games. Guy is getting better and has shown a consistent motor and knack for getting into the backfield.
