da Bears: Inside Football

OK, short and sweet:

• Bears offense is very, very, vanilla. When you have two weeks to prepare for a team that plays exactly the same defense as you do, wouldn't it be prudent to actually put in plays that are designed to defeat what is called a cover 2 look?
• The right guard for the Bears is awful and is not an NFL player, not close.
• The defense, which was on the field all night was OK and then they started missing tackles when they got tired. The Bear corners cannot cover and they tackled very poorly all night.
• You have played cover 2 all year long and your deep safety decides to run with the TE leaving his deep zone uncovered for the Colts first TD. This was the biggest play of the game because Manning was on the ropes then.
• The Bears, except for special teams were out-coached big time the whole night. Did you see how frustrated Urlacher was when they just kept hanging back and not attacking? Reminded me of Ohio State vs. Florida. Does anyone watch game film?
• I swear to both of you that my backup QB is never gonna botch 3 snaps in one game, never. Grossman is not a big time QB and because Lovie wouldn't give Griese more snaps in the regular season he couldn't play him, I guess.
  

Now, everyone is gonna say that hey, they made it all the way to the Super Bowl. Yeah, in a weak conference with a weak schedule. The loss of Brown the safety and Harris was really huge, they never recovered from those guys being gone for the season. It's OK to lose but Jesus, have a plan that makes sense.

• One other thing, name me an offense that is real productive that doesn't execute from shotgun. Having trouble? That's cause there aren't any. QB has 1 to 1 1/2 seconds more to read blitz and when it's wet it's more.
• Oh, something else, speed rushers like the Bears DE's are not effective when it's raining. Number 95 for the Bears stinks as does #31.

At least the team that won is easy to like, not the same as New England or Dallas.

This sounds really conceited but I swear I could have put together a game plan that would have been 10X more effective than the one they had, awful.
