Brian Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 22, 2013 -> 10:29 PM) The run for first down where Cutler f***ed up the DB is the marquee play of the game IMO. I rewound that play so many times. Golden flying back should make a great gif. It definitely sent a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 12:02 AM) Bears have given up 350 yards to AJ Green and Antonio Brown this year...CB has to be #1 priority this offseason....If Tillman is brought back I'd like to see him moved to safety. Get him around the ball more and get him off speedy WRs. Said this one over at talkbears, worth repeating here. The yardage here doesn't bother me quite as much as it did in the previous games. The Bears had a big lead early. That meant the Steelers were going to be throwing the ball up in the air, taking high-risk chances to try to have a successful big play and get back into the game. Meanwhile, the Bears were in the perfect situation to "Bend but not break", the more high-risk plays the steelers attempted the more likely something was going to go wrong for them. That's the ideal situation for a team to pile up yards and an ideal situation for the defense to pull off a couple big turnovers, which is exactly what happened.

cabiness42 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 They should be 1-2 and could have been 0-3. That team has had a rabbit's foot up their ass all year. The Bears always seem like their record is better than their performance. One reason is turnovers. The other reason is special teams. One thing I liked about Lovie was his dedication to excellence on special teams. Between their kicker, punter, and returners, the Bears are always winning the field position battle. I just hope that the roughing the kicker penalty and blocked PAT are not a sign that the new regime has de-emphasized special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Jennings was on Brown on his end of half touchdown, and Tillman was out most of second half. He had a bad game vs. Green but also was suffering of dehydration in the game after his long int return. I think we will see a hobbled Tillman more often b/c of his age, but a lot of what was driving me crazy last night was poor safety positioning again and Briggs not getting back far enough on dropbacks. He's leaving huge caps on the field. Frey as well. I've been completely unimpressed with Briggs, he had some nice rushes but he had plenty of oppos for them.

I mean, through three games it's safe to say our special teams have noticeably dropped off. That's stuff we rarely saw that we've seen in each game. I find it funny Decamillis came from the Cowboys, b/c it's exactly what it seems. The huge plays are there, but the boneheaded lose you the game plays are there too.

I was part of a group of 10 people who started a pool that was $6 week to play and you picked 6 games per week and the only way to win money was to go 6-0-0, otherwise it rolled over. It took 2½ seasons to pay out, during which time I went 5-0-1 twice and one other guy did it once. The guy who finally hit it had the worst cumulative record of the entire group.

southsider2k5 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Adam Schefter ✔ @AdamSchefter Bears DT Henry Melton tore his ACL - out for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Bears DT Henry Melton has been diagnosed with a torn left ACL, ending his season. A key cog as the three-technique dominator in the Bears Cover-2 scheme, the Bears are going to feel the absence of Melton in a big way. He graded out as ProFootballFocus' No. 7 defensive tackle last year, racking up six sacks and going to the Pro Bowl. Nate Collins, Stephen Paea and possibly Zach Minter are all going to have to step up. It's also a severe blow to Melton's wallet. He was playing this year on a one-year, $8.45M franchise tender. Now Melton will hit unrestricted free agency having to prove his health. Per Rotoworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Even though he's shown close to nothing the first 3 games, it still hurts to lose Melton. He could have potentially turned it on at any point. I wonder if the Bears take a look at Richard Seymour? If not, I expect Okoye to be brought back.
