December 3, 201015 yr comment_85775 Darn, Pisa is not going to play. Then again, Roach has done a fine job of filling in and we will need Pisa for the remmaining tough games. Report

December 5, 201015 yr comment_85793 Big surprise ...the OL sucked on the opening drive. You would think Martz would be able to predict this and plan accordingly. Terrible first possession. Hopefully it gets better. Report
December 5, 201015 yr comment_85794 You would think Martz would be able to predict this and plan accordingly. Terrible first possession. Hopefully it gets better. On the run play, there is nothing Martz could have done. The guys didn't block, period. On the pass play jail break, there has to be an adjustment presnap when the opponent shows a massive blitz. That has very little to do with Martz. If he calls a pass from the snap, and Cutler sees 8 defensive players on the line of scrimmage, then an audible needs to happen. Report
December 5, 201015 yr comment_85795 Absolutely pathetic. If we lose this game, the seasons over. Report
December 5, 201015 yr comment_85796 Defense looks absolutely flat, and the Lions have the scheme completely figured out. Not a great start. Report
December 5, 201015 yr comment_85797 WOW, hopefully these defensive guys start to take all of the Lions talkin crap personally. Peppers was way out of position there. Terrible effort by the defense so far. Report

If he calls a pass from the snap, and Cutler sees 8 defensive players on the line of scrimmage, then an audible needs to happen. He can call some different plays. Getting Cutler in the shotgun would help him with the blitz. Like I said, its not a surprise that the line is bad and people are going to blitz on pass downs. The line is not going to magically become a probowl one so plan accordingly. Report

Like I said, its not a surprise that the line is bad and people are going to blitz on pass downs. The line is not going to magically become a probowl one so plan accordingly. But he has to call SOME pass plays out of the orthodox formations. When those happen, the OL needs to do something, or Cutler needs to adjust presnap. Your last line is the truth, however. I honestly think that the Bears should be in a max-protect on most pass plays and a jumbo package on most run plays. Who cares if the defense knows what's coming? At a certain point, we have to try and simply outplay the opponent instead of outsmart them. Outsmarting them may work at times, but it far too often leaves the offense vulnerable to a defense that is overall more talented. I guess what I'm trying to say is, the Bears must dictate to the defense what they have to stop instead of the defense dictating what the Bears must do. Report
December 5, 201015 yr comment_85801 There you go, perfect example of the play call helping Cutler defeat the blitz. Report
December 5, 201015 yr comment_85806 Martz is calling a brilliant game thus far. -The 1/2 step drop and quick hit to Bennett came out of nowhere. I think the announcer almost swallowed his tongue. -The skinny post to Bennett was great. -The late-developing draw to Taylor was shocking. -The counter-toss was genius...a play that has worked against the Bears numerous times, and for some reason the Bears never really used it. TD Forte. Report
December 5, 201015 yr comment_85807 I tell you what, I ride his ass alot but Martz and Cutler and turned this offense from the shittiest offense in the league to one of the most exciting. Plus these long drives keep the defense fresh. Report
December 5, 201015 yr comment_85808 Damn man wrap the hell up. Why the hell would Tillman go to the middle of the field. Just stupid. Report
