Who is calling the defensive plays?
Hello everybody, I just want to know....who is calling the defensive snaps? Is it Lovie or Rod? If, it is Lovie, he need to get back at just watching the game and not calling them....That is all, thank you for the responses...

Marinelli. But he's Lovie 1.5.

I've got nothing to say about the defense, but there's no way we should be losing this game at the half.
Earl's gotta make that catch. You can't make that catch, you should be flipping burgers or greeting customers at Walmart.
That 4th down gamble was bush league (pun intended). Take the damn points, you can't run the ball worth sh__.

Marinelli, but Urlacher sets the defense pre-snap.
Trestman - Kromer - Tucker - DeCamillis
I'm looking forward to seeing these guys coach. Hope they're good.

We are never going to win with Lovie, bottom line.......

IDK. I agreed with the call. We have inches and a bruising back. It was a high percentage try. If you look at college games, they go for they high percentage 4th downs often and most of the time they succeed.
Although rear-view vision is also quite nice. A field goal and we would not have needed to go into OT. Problem is you don't have the rear-view vision until it's over.
Bottom line. We should have converted that. It was a good call backed up by a lousy effort.

Exactly. At some point players need to perform. On defense it would help if our players could actually tackle somebody.
Trestman - Kromer - Tucker - DeCamillis

It might work in college, but you have to play the percentages more carefully in the NFL. If you're a team like the Bears and you don't normally score a lot of points, chances are good that your smartest decision would be to go for the field goal and at least guarantee yourself a 10-0 lead to start out the game. I know that hindsight is 20/20, but to me, you take the points when you can get them. We left points out there on the field and it wound up cost us the game.
