Like i said in "what we learned" here comes the
slower fans talking about the box score. Guess what, the box score is lying to you.
1st scoring drive: 1 play, 8 yards, 8 yard TD run Matt Forte.
2nd scoring drive: 3 plays, 16 yards, 13 yard TD pass to Brandon Marshall
3rd scoring drive: 5 plays, 65 yards, 39 yard TD pass to Brandon Marshall (woweee Mom look I did it all by myself)
4th scoring drive: 3 plays 2 yards, 5 yard TD pass to Brandon Marshall
So the offense scored 21 points in 7 plays going only 26 yards.
It is absolutely idiotic to think that our offense deserves any credit at all for those scores. Just because the offense took it into the end zone you think they played well when in reality only the opposite can be true, IF THEY DIDN'T SCORE IN THOSE SITUATIONS IT WOULD BE HUMILIATING. My god we are talking about the second worst defense in the NFL here, if we can't move the ball on them then what hope do we have. Cutler still getting dropped like a sack of bricks, fumbling the ball, and there are drive-killing penalties. No, the offenses performance was unacceptable.
The reality is that between Urlacher's score and Wooten's score plus the 21 points scored on easy setups by the defense/ST, the defense/ST is responsible for 35 of the points scored. You can credit the offense for generating 16 points against the second worst defense in the NFL.
Lord help you if you think we can stop worrying about how bad the offense is.
You are correct about one thing though, other teams aren't better!
