It was a sloppy second half, but Matt Forte and our Defense stood tall and held off those pesky Bucs! A lot will be said and written about how the Bears should've won by more points but screw that, the win is ALL that matters.
And the team should be completely healthy for the Philly Monday Night game in two weeks. Things are looking up....
Our defensive line sucked. Freeman had so much time to throw the ball.Quote:

Working even more against TB this week was they had the 3rd string RB in for most the game. Blount crushes us if he's in there and healthy and this game might well have been different.
It was a very sloppy 2nd half and stupid penalties killed us. I lost my video right after Briggs pick and when it comes back on we're at midfield rather than the one yard line. I'm like WFT is up with that and then they comment on the penalty against Jennings. I didn't catch what the infraction was but I'm thinking an illegal block. Somebody fill me in ok?
If that's the case and then we have another on Iwuh on a punt return. So two stupid penalties. One costs us a probably TD and the other field postions which eventually the Bucs turned to their advantage. WFT is wrong with these guys that they throw such stupidb blocks? If you can't get a shoulder in front of the guy don't block him. They should have learned that much in HS. I was Toub I'd have any guy who messes up a return with an illegal block write it out 1000 times, "I am stupid, no illegal blocks".
Martz's playcalling in the 2nd have didn't help either. What is there about this guy that he just can't stand to see offensive prosperity coming from the running game. We run the Bucs silly in the first half and then he calls first and second down pass plays in our territory when we're up 21-5 and we get picked. The pick is on Cutler but why were we passing in that spot? Jeezus the guy frustrates the shit out of me.
I'll take the win but we have a ways to go before we can play on an even basis with the big boys and win.
I'm sorry, but I thought our defense also had a linebacking corps (2 INTs) and a secondary (2 INTs including the game-clincher). But maybe I'm just not that bright.Quote:

Peppers has been the whole line, until he tweaked his knee. We get a few "flash" plays from the DT rotation, but we aren't as strong as we were last year.
I did like seeing DJ Moore step up when we needed him the most.

I gotta say that considering they were playing an OG out of position as an emergency OC we didn't get the rush we should have. Melton is downright frustrating. He can't beat the double team. He's supposed to be so quick but I don't see him shooting gaps like Harris did in his prime. Right now Okoye and Paea are playing better than anyone.
Oh quit being so realistic ! LOL.Quote:
