Good post. I’m wondering the same thing about the 3 step drop excuse? If that’s the case, why the 10 yard cushion everytime? Also, why no blitzes or line stunts to generate some more pressure on the QB. We all know the Cover 2 doesn’t work if you can not generate anything on the QB. The Bears D was blitzing, swarming, and amazing in Week 1 vs the Colts, why not bring some of that back into play? Babby and Lovie never make any adjustments, EVER!!! It’s killing the team. For once we have a capable offense that moves the ball, and we still barely win games and give up 41 pts? WTF???

Well you can say that about Rivera, but who is to say if he made the playoff schemes. He knows all the defenses. I’m guessing Babich doesn’t and it’s been said he is merely one of Lovie’s minions.

The weird thing now is that they score more they can afford to take some chances on the defensive side of the ball.

Don’t even try and tell my that Rivera has something to do with this. Rivera SUCKS! His vaunted defenses gave up an average of 24 points per game in the playoffs.

The problem with this team is 1. lack of pressure and 2. URLACHER. Fifty-four has been sucking this season. I might even throw Brown and Harris under the bus. If it weren’t for Harris’ key sack this week he’s been non existent.

Babs has to figure out how to get more from the front 4 and 54 has to get his head out of his arse. 16 tackles, no forced fumbles, no sacks, no interceptions in the last 3 games.

Well, in my mind, the defense for the Bears has been pretty erratic. They’ve looked good at times, but some games they look pretty average. I think losing Vasher and Tillman really hurts what they want to do. Their safeties are just average now with Mike Brown being as slow as a mule after multiple knee injuries. And they don’t seem to be as deep in their defensive backfield anymore either.

The majority of their big name defensive guys are on the downsides of their careers and that is also hurting them. It’s just not the dominant defense it once was. Good thing the offense is better this season.

from the Sept. 8 Zonersports:

“It was the perfect script for the Bears–run all day, timely play-action passes, cause turnovers and simply control the game.”

“David Haugh said it best in today’s Trib: Consider the switch flipped.”

“There is hope for the season. And it’s tremendously exciting.”

So did someone flip the switch back to awful? Find that switch and flip it again! HIRE COWHER MANG!!!!!!!!
