Boykin surprises Jay Cutler with "the most basic zone defense ever created"

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 10:02 PM) Draft be nearly all defense and free agents they bring in will be defensive. Unless something really impressive happens in 7 days, I expect a QB to be drafted as well.

Looks like Brandon has mentally checked out

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 09:59 PM) It will be interesting to see how Emery plans to fix this defense. They need help everywhere. A huge factor that requires input from the defensive coaches is figuring out which guys are truly worthless, which have looked bad because of how bad the entire team defense has been, and which ones are likely to actually get better.

Wright is worse than Conte IMO. I don't want to see either of them, but if I had to have one I'd take Conte

QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 09:52 PM) Please let us know, because I think it's getting overblown. They already grade our line as nearly the worst at pass blocking in the NFL, so they certainly won't be taking it easy on them

PFF credits sacks to the QB if he holds it too long for it to be reasonably blamed on the line/linemen. I wonder how many they'll give to Jay

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 09:44 PM) They were down 21 0 and forte, d and Devin and Maynard put us in a bind. No one could have saved that. Can't believe you'd smear Brad Maynard's name like that

No blitz? Quick dumpoff

I think most fans knew ahead of time it could very well require over 40 points to win this thing. It is also fair to say that a competent offensive performance is also a fairly effective point prevention method as well

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 09:39 PM) I am thinking all this trouble getting the ball snapped over the years that has been blamed on the coaching staff, might be misguided. It didn't happen with McCown. Indeed. Only time I saw that happen was in McCown's first game

According to Cris Collinsworth, Matt Forte's ass cheek dropped the ball

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 09:36 PM) I'd rather not risk McCown getting hurt for next week. Also, the last thing Trestman probably wants is McCown to come in, throw for a few TDs, and then create a huge QB controversy. It wouldn't be hard to defend putting McCown it at this piont, especially with all the hits Jay is taking. You can defend it by Jay's s***ty play or by saying you're protecting him

Hey Jay, f*** YOU

I find myself hoping for Cutler to come up lame

Mills is the one who whiffed on the block

Briggs looked quite hurt after that play. Lied face flat on the ground and walked off cradling his left arm.

Coming into the game, if you knew PHI would have 24 points at half and knew nothing about what the Bears would have, would you have panicked about the result of the game?

3 points scored in the first half. f*** you defense!!

Hey dumbf*** we already ran a play

Alshon costs us 10 seconds f***ing around

Let's be real, too -- no fumble on the kickoff return and this doens't look like a disaster

The defense just needs some position to get a ton better to slow them down at all. Every play you can see where just one f***ing guy could have done something. Better LB play, better safety play, better DE play. Something

Briggs isn't play well. He just runs his right (healthy) shoulder into the blocker every time and blows by the play. I haven't seen him engage anyone with his left side all game

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 08:30 PM) The ball hit the freakin ground on the snap, nothing he can do. You're ragging on Jay just because at the moment. I was talking about the previous play when I posted that The (non-snap) problem on the next one was Forte
