Thread: what we learned

wow this game got out of hand quickly, but this is what I expect a playoff team, if not a sb contender to do to bad teams...whatever they want.

Chicago O: again the O proves it really needs the D to keep the pressure off them, if not score early, to allow the O to relax and take the game over. Still was a more smooth O then we've seen in weeks, and that was b/c they tried to feed the ball through Forte early, and the more they fed him it the smoother the O looked. the O has to not be to anxious to drop back and pass to early or the pressure comes and it's a stalled drive. Btw, this team cannot pass or run out of that horrid 1 route max protect, so stop using it. Forte looked great, Marshal/Cutler in the 2nd half took over and that was all she wrote. Allen at the end, made a case for some playing time kid is quick and isn't afraid of contact for a skat back. I'd like to still see EB and Hester both getting 4-8 looks, but forget the TE for now, this OL is so bad they needs the TE's to do more then just chip, this OL is bad too and this O can only do what the OL allows it to. Well if Hester has bad games when dropping 50% of his passes, I guess Earl did too, based on how people have acted w/Hester the last few weeks, I think he did fine. Hester only 2 targets same as Forte, and both also looked fine.

Chicago D: Tillman, DPotY, don't tell me about Watts and his sacks or tackles for loss, tillman scores points and when he doesn't gives the ball back to the O, while shutting down the best WR on the other team. Urlacher looked to be fine, as healthy as he's going to get, and that looks good enough. Best CB tandem in the league, very likely. This D put this game to bed in the first qtr(w/the st's) even after the OL(hands to the face) tried to keep it interesting w/a Safety. Huge game had by all; hope Melton isn't too hurt, in the 3rd it was said he was questionable w/the tight back.

Chicago coaching: Really well called game, no real complaints; Lovie went HC and told the O to start running the ball more b/c the Passing game was a problem in the 1st half; so the OC gave Tenn a heavy dose of Forte, and when the D was worn out Cutler/Marshal took Lovie's words to heart and showed him it wouldn't be a problem again.

Tenn O: you are the weakest link, goodbye....you're FIRED....You've been chopped...Please pack your knives and go, etc etc. WOW they are bad, it wasn't until the game was over they were really able to do anything. CJ2K wasn't the best RB in that game, and I think many wouldn't have thought that. Hasslebeck is a methusala out there, and did all he could, but seriously there wasn't much he could do against this D.

Tenn D: see the first line of the Tenn O, wow you're not much better then the O.

Tenn coaching: pass they could have had the best gameplan ever, a perfect neutralizer to the Bears D and O and it wouldn't have mattered, they don't have the guns to make it work.
