5) Did we? he missed a game breaker in the 1st half that really cost us, outside of that he seemed mostly invisable.

The Reason I say potential is look at Cam Newton but then again Wilson shows better leadership abilities then Cam Newton.

Regarding Bennett we needed that #2 WR and I was hoping he stepped up. With that being said my old man who is a Slacks fan said "I could have caught that."

I agree we should be able to put up more points. But I do blame the Defense more then the Offense for this lost they were out played. I haven't looked but I am sure Wilson either had more yards rushing then either of our RBs or damn close. But the real blame for this lose falls totally on Lovie, 4th and one sure as a fan I love to see us go for it but not with a patched up O line, that has 3 three plays with a total of l start between all of them in game at the position their playing. And to give the Hawks the ball first because they had been of the field for a 12 play drive before the end of the game, dame our Defense was out there for those 12 plays also. This goes back to the Lovie thinking the Defense is first and can do it all. Cutler and Marshall both had a damn good game, put the damn ball in hands of the players that can win the game. Lovie who the hell is the best 4th Qrt, QB in the NFL, let me help you dumbass it Jay Cutler.

Jeffery was the only thing they could not replace on O regarding WR, every other WR besides Marshal is not a huge upgrade over the backups. Same w/the OL, the OL w/3 backups played decent today, it didn't hurt them to lose their starting G's, nor does it hurt the team to lose Hester/Bennett. The best thing that did was get Forte back involved in the pass game, and help Hernandez get in there too; why did he only get one look btw?

I'm not saying the D doesn't deserve blame, but the O should have scored more, and held more time on the field to rest that D.

Something Mike and Mike pointed out and seems to be valid. This D can no longer contain running qb's anymore; Kapernick rocked us, and now Wilson tore us up. This D is not capable of keeping containment like they used to.

What have we learned...?? hmmmmm

1. The Defense started strong but have fizzled out, whether the offense is out there or not for half the game the defense needs more rest or a spark to get them back to what they were before the Houston and SF game
2. We are in NEED OF ANOTHER WR, lets call (TO, Deion Branch, or Ocho) We need to get someone else on the other side of Marshall to draw the attention as well. WE NEED SOMEONE NOW!
3. With a revamped Offensive line weve gone from awesome run blocking to perfect pass blocking but have show how forgot to run block (im all for tis favoring Cutler)
4. Maybe they need to take a break form pad practice

You damn right.

I didn't see the coin toss for OT, I would have flipped if we hadn't taken the ball. That is a horrible choice by Lovie; and along w/that 4th and 1, you do have to place a lot of the blame on the coaching staff also.
