Lacy may not play next week.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 10:30 PM) Getting Briggs back made us all optimistic but he looked like as bad of a player as any other on the defense. I don't think I saw him make a single tackle. Just him getting owned by linemen left and right.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 10:19 PM) The defense is bad. Really bad. Maybe Mel Tucker should be fired. I'll let our Scout-in-Chief Emery decide whether Tucker deserves to get another year with different personnel. They lost us today's game. What we need to figure out is whether Jay Cutler is worth our investment. Not whether he is worth the franchise tag or a long-term deal. Is he worth any deal? Are we better off rolling with a mixture of McCown/rookie/cheap FA project for the long-term future or Jay Cutler? These are the choices. We have a great offensive core locked up for a few more years. Best WR tandem in the NFL. A top-5 RB. A very good TE. An OL with real potential. If you sign Cutler, you're saying that core lives and dies with him. Are you comfortable with that? These are the questions we have to sort out. Jay is not showing me he's worth the time. McCown may or may not outplay Cutler next year, but the monetary investment will be relatively small and you'll be free to open the door to the next guy if it isn't panning out/you have the next guy ready. I've been a huge Jay fan. I've been the guy DA is mocking in this thread. I don't think I believe in [the boy from] Santa Claus anymore. I've defended Cutler for the past 4 years against irrational Bears fans. While their complaints were irrational, I'm not going to bother anymore. Cutler's had everything handed to him this year and he's still not an elite level QB. Meanwhile, a 34 year old journeyman outplayed him.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 10:17 PM) People here are saying fire Tucker, like the great Marinelli is doing so "amazing" with the Cowboys defense. Emery needs to draft DLs that can actually rush the QB (half of the problem right there) and a few other things regarding this defense. Marinelli isn't calling the shots in Dallas.

Mel Tucker should be fired after this showing.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 10:07 PM) McCown in Dis gon be good.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) That isn't Jay's fault. That't on Trestman. If he called a running play, that INT never would have happened. I hope you're being sarcastic.

Put in McCown?

How is this defense so bad at stopping the run?

McCoy looks like a damn cheat code.

lol the ball fell down on an onside kick attempt.

Woah, a TD!

Jay, why are you throwing the ball to a fully covered Matt Forte? This is ridiculous.

Please put McCown in. This is hard to watch.

How are the Bears not doing jack s*** against a defense that gave up 41 to the Vikings last week WITHOUT Adrian Peterson? This is baffling.

If the Bears play Cutler next week, I can pretty much guarantee a loss.

I don't think the offense is even trying anymore.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 09:29 PM) Play McCown save Cutler for GB. I wish it was the opposite. Thinking of Cutler playing the Packers gives me nightmares.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) Ugh, that's a safety. Not exactly a stellar day for Forte. That play isn't on him, it's on whoever couldn't block his man.

How do you not block everyone on the line on a run near the goaline?

Damn. I thought it was pretty hard to overturn that play. The ball was starting to come out when his knee hit.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 08:52 PM) 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? Not really. I'd expect the Bears to have at least 14.

Bears got a break on the spot.

Why did they waste a time out before the Eagles kicked their FG? Now it might cost us 3 points.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 22, 2013 -> 07:06 PM) Yeah, good point. Contrast was a freebee too although I haven't got around to playing it yet. PS Plus will get more PS4 games as time passes. I bet Knack will be free in a few months, not that that's anything special from what I've read. They treat PS Plus like Netflix. You get stuff later than release, but it's paid for with your subscription. With how PS Plus works now on PS4, I don't see them giving away major games to everyone with it (a lot of people will have it for online play).
