The good ole' Cover 2.

Manning playing just a wonderful football game.

Manning fumble on the ruturn.

At least maybe Babich will get fired if they lose this game.

Can we fire Turner too?

 

Has there ever been a coach that I don't want fired?

I guess our defensive scheme was to let Johnson beat us today. Brilliant!

You're kidding yourself if you don't think this team could use Nate Vasher.

that should have been reviewed

Is this for real, or just getting on Fathom?

 

No, I think it's for real. People really despise Turner, even though he's been much better this year than last season.

100% for real. Like fathom said, he's been better, but still highly mediocre. 8 straight runs up the middle, tentativeness to throw the long pass, etc. We need REAL coordinators on this team.

He did not get his 2nd foot down with possesion

Not Nate Vasher version 2008. He was brutal this year

And they are idiots. This has to be one of the worst offensive groups in NFL history, and Turner has made this a middle of the road offense. Talk about getting the most out of what you have to work with.

 

Yep, it's the opposite of Babich, who has seemingly taken a talented bunch and turned them into crap.

I'm an idiot because Ron Turner has never called a creative play in his Chicago Bears career right? I'm an idiot because Ron Turner calls 8 straight run plays up the middle? I'm an idiot because the offense overachieved, therefore Turner gets the praise?

 

Got it.

The good ole' Cover 2.

 

The Cover 2 is all about keeping with your assignments and gap control. The problem is our secondary can't keep their assignments, they bite on plays they shouldnt. Its one thing if this is the first year they have played this defense. But its years now, and we have guys who can't get the basic packages down. We either have to get a traditional defense or we need to pay better attention to the IQ's of the secondary when we draft them.

It was Babich's scheme that put the Bears in very bad situations.

Babich made Olsen fumble. Babich made Tillman go apes**t. Babich made Orton throw it to the team in the purple.

 

Okay.

Babich's defense did allow for Griese to throw for an insane # of yards in the 2nd half/OT of that game.

Please tell me you are not defending Babich. Babich sucks. He is not the entire reason this team sucks, but he has his seat at the table of suckitude.

I'm with you on this one... And how the hell are we losing right now? Up 10-0 in the 2Q with the ball and next thing you know, it's 14-10. Typical Bears. Meanwhile, the Giants and Oakland need to step it up big time for us.

Roethlisberger carted off with an injury.

I'm not. But to say he cost us 3 games is ridiculous.

 

BTW- Forte gets 52 total yards in the 1st quarter, and I think he got 1 touch in the 2nd quarter, due to Lovie Smith's fascination with giving Forte a rest AFTER THE END OF A QUARTER WHEN HE GETS HIS BREAK THEN.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 28, 2008 -> 01:28 PM)
The Bears need more WILDCAT!!!! That will get them into the playoffs.

 

When Turner gets 1 offensive playmaker to work with, then maybe I'll get on him for not being creative.

 

 

I know, right? Why not pass it to All Pro Rashied Davis? I mean, he was All Pro in the Arena League, but still an All Pro. Or why not Marty Booker? I mean, this is 2001, right? Turner really is an idiot for putting the ball in the hands of the best player on offensive side of the ball. You got me.

 

 

1.Terrible offensive line? Check. Worst WR core in the NFL? Check. Questionable QB options? Check. Rookie RB? Check.

 

 

Glad we are on the same page.

Your sarcastic defense of your opinion amuses me.

 

And this offensive line is not as bad as people make them out to be. Other wise said Rookie RB wouldn't have had any success and said Questionable QB would be on his ass a lot more.

giants add a FG before the half to make it 10-9
