LittleHurt05 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 12, 2014 -> 06:41 PM) Is that the Falcons being bad though? In their two previous home games they scored over 90 points. It may be a bad team, but that's a great offense in the dome and the Bears shut it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 12, 2014 -> 07:36 PM) Are the cowboys for real? Their D is playing great and Murray is putting himself in a category with Jim Brown. That's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were some big hits that had the Falcons pass catchers hearing footsteps, so the Bears deserve a little credit for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not all of those drops were "drops". There were some that a dude got the snot knocked out of him and he couldn't hold on to the ball.

Kyyle23 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I think something was wrong with Toilolo's arm or wrist. He kept holding it funny after each drop. And Roddy White got blasted by Mundy, I don't think he was right after that. Fuller, goddamn. They are putting that kid against stars, not secondary receivers. And he is WINNING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Bears D played pretty damn well. They clearly entered the game with the strategy of trying to get into ATL's heads with hard hits, which makes sense given our safeties in particular. It worked like a charm. We also saw a lot of productivity out of the D line and general pass rush. With our best 4 LBs out, our best CB out, our starting FS out/hobbled, another starting CB missing some time, and a D line fully intact for the first time since the middle of game two, that's a really impressive performance from that group. The defense has exceeded expectations this year - not that that is saying much - and they are doing it without critical personnel every week. Great to see the offense do what we thought it could. Jay was still pretty frequently looking to the check-down, but he balanced that with picking some smart spots to be aggressive and delivering the ball. We dialed up some great run plays at perfect times as well. O-line play in general could have been better. ST was looking fine and then we had the obligatory giant f*** up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 With the amount of check down Jay throws, Forte has a shot have a 1,000/1,000 season. That would actually be incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is he came down and the ball moved a bit in his hands. But it's one of the few times neither team would challenge because it didn't make sense to.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Cowboys have always had a great passing game thanks to Romo, Witten, and insert a WR here, but now with an actual running game and a competent defense, this team looks REAL good. 5-1.

Brian Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Even if Conte is cleared, there is no way he belongs on the field over Mundy. Vereen seems a tad slow but would rather have him out there getting experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
