Loved the Bears win... but the 4th Qtr....

Da Bears, for the most part, played an awesome game on Sunday.

I know that many consider it "garbage time", but our D should not have let the Seahawks score 21 points in the 4th quarter. After crushing the Seahawks offense for 3 Quarters, they just let up too soon. And I think we started playing too conservatively too soon on offense in the 4th Qtr with the all of the runs into the line (taking some time off clock) but punting it right back to the Seahawks.

Perhaps the 4th Qtr taught Da Bearsss a lesson. NEVER let down your guard in the playoffs. Sure, you can eat up the clock with a substantial lead--- but you've still gotta occasionally pass and get some more first downs. THEN you can run the clock down while possibly setting up another score. The Bears offensive playcalling in the 4th Qtr reminded me of Ron Turner.

I hope that if Da Bears have a sizeable lead against the Packers, they don't let up. No giving up on trying to score more, and no letting up on D.

The Packers are MUCH better than the Seahawks. I think they can sneak up on a big lead and take it away. Let's make sure that doesn't happen.

NO "garbage time" mentality from this point on.

GO BEARS!!

Forte should have never threw the ball. That play spells disaster bigtime. Just run the ball and punt when you are up 28 pts.

I stopped caring when we went up by 28. What we did after that point was irrelevant to me & clearly the players. There was 0 chance we were losing the game after going up 28, very simple

And we won't get a big lead on the Packers anyway, so it has no inpact on what we do in that situation v the Packers. They haven't trailed by more then 7 all year, if we beat them it will be close

I turned the game off when it was 35-10.

I would have liked to see them close out the game like they started. Never take the foot off the throat, you never know what is going to happen until the time shows 00:00.

But it was a good game/game plan(outside the whole forte throwing it thing)

Having been a fan through the years (I remember the Sayers, Butkus, draft) & sat through the wrong end of blowouts, lets just say I'm going to enjoy it when were on the good end of em.

the defense was pissed apparently in the locker room when talking about the game. idk what happened, havent rewatched it. that was ridiculous.

but who cares, we destroyed the seahawks

Prevent D = No Killer instinct on coaching staff + a great opportunity to get one of your players hurt.

:goodpost: and exactly right.

I think alot of that was them going away from what was working because they had the game essentially won and they were throwing up different blitz packages and new stuff at the Hawks, just something more for Gb to think about when they watch the film
