Jake Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I think it is undeniable that this defense would be better if Lovie Smith was coordinating. Might not be any good, but even the players have thought that Tucker hasn't maximized his players. Today, the pass rush was much better and we got a lot of penetration on runs. Linebackers aren't great and secondary is really bad. With Briggs and Tillman out at the end, it is no surprise that we lost. That whole drive was helped by a bad officiating call though. Couple big imaginary penalties in this one. McCown is a solid dude. I hope Jay can make it back, though. I think we should be in pretty good shape coming out of the bye so long as Jay isn't out.

Balta1701 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 20, 2013 -> 04:38 PM) Yeah I didn't like the call either. As the announcer said he's never seen that called before. Well yeah, they said the rule was changed this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 20, 2013 -> 10:10 AM) Bears failing to challenge costs them 3 points. I was really confused how they didn't challenge. Looked pretty obvious live. What a disaster the defense is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 20, 2013 -> 12:43 PM) Chris Conte is an absolutely horrendous football player. He was solid last year but along with the lack of pass rush, he is the biggest reason this team has given up so many big plays in the secondary. He has been absolutely horrendous. Probably the worse safety in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get this D healthy! The miscall on the holding penalty on the 3rd down was brutal. Bears gave up a ton of yards with some key guys on D down but despite all that, somehow they looked better as a whole. Still, absolutely pathetic performance by the defense.

Soxfest Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Bears agreed to terms with QB Jordan Palmer. Carson's younger, wilder brother was with the Bears in training camp. Chicago is signing him up to back up Josh McCown with Jay Cutler (groin) potentially staring at an extended absence. Cutler will have an MRI on Monday. Per rotoworld That was fast I’m no doctor, but I know what a hemorrhoid looks like.” - Shannon Sharpe, on Jay Cutler’s injury during the halftime show.

cabiness42 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Cutler with a groin injury. Questionable return. Ironically, I was about a mile from his high school when this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 If you want to think of this season as almost lost regardless of a Cutler injury due to the defense, then maybe a Cutler injury would be a blessing in disguise as it should really drive his price down.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Chiefs now 7-0! Wonder what kind of odds you could have gotten on them to be the last undefeated team at the start of the season?

The Bills also haven't had a game this year where they didn't have a chance to win late. Those are two very, very tough games coming up for them still. It's crazy to think that the Chiefs are still undefeated, because I don'tt hink I've ever seen the NFL with so much parody. With the exception of the Jags, it really does feel like anyone can beat anyone right now on any given day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
