Cbz40 Game Day Thread | 4TH QTR | Chicago Bears 27 Dallas Cowboys 20

We're going to come this half and throw 3 straight passes. 3 and out.

 

[SDCowboy]

Mannn I'm sick of the dumb plays costing Dallas... The second INT was a horrible throw by Romo.

It doesn't matter. Don't reach back for it then. Witten caused the INT. That ball wasn't even close to a defender if was just an incompletion.

 

[zrinkill]

I wasn't aware Miles played defense.

Thats good ..... because I never said he did ......

 

[Jimz31]

getting this little pressure on cutler is insane.

The DB's need to help a little bit...but look at how far off they are playing...same thing last week. There is absolutely NO hitting them inside the 5 yards by our DB's...ridiculous.

 

[Blackspider214]

Our defense is overrated. We make 0 plays. 0 turnovers. No timely sacks at all when we need them. Offense takes a lead, boom, we give it up twice as fast as we scored. I'm tired of hearing about how this defense is one of the best. Great defenses make plays.

And can someone please explain a squib kick after we take a 7-3 lead??? Wow!!!! Who called that??

 

[utrunner07]

If Miles stops dropping passes and the rest of them stop tipping balls for INTs, we'll be alright.

So Romo gets a free pass for throwing that ball behind Witten?

 

[Yoshimitsu]

We just can't get out of our own way. Two interceptions off the hands and into the arms of the other team and that stupid pouch kick thing.

Right.

That is what changed the momentum of the game. The defense was rocking. Dez just took it to the house and you kick a damn pouch kick to give them good field position?

This coaching staff is killing me.

 

[SDogo]

I still feel better knowing preseason means nothing and total lack of ability to execute the basics is over rated.

 

[BourbonBalz]

getting this little pressure on cutler is insane.

Yea, considering how we were killing them with pressure early and they're now without their starting LT. How did they make those types of adjustments and we never seem to be capable of doing the same?

 

[Eskimo]

There were two really bad blown coverages (Olson TD and long Knox catch) as well as two tipped ball INTs. Hopefully we can overcome these issues as we can't afford to drop a home game to a mediocre team.

On a bright note, the OL protection has been reasonably good. However, too many runs stopped for a loss in the first half. Hopefully we can get the running game going and set up some playaction in the second half.

 

[Jammer]

The offense has given up more turnovers this year than thay have scored TDs. No wonder there is a strong chance at starting 0-2 for this team.

 

[BIGDen]

If Miles stops dropping passes and the rest of them stop tipping balls for INTs, we'll be alright.

Those plays and the horrible pooch kick or whatever that nightmare was have killed us.

Second reminder for late arrivals.

TBH i'm not expecting a win today, the bears are winning the turnover and special teams battle and our defense can't sop their offense.

That was really stupid ......

If the ball wasn't thrown behind Witten he wouldn't have tipped it and caused the INT. The ball was thrown poorly that is Romo's fault. Aikman explained it perfectly on the replay.

 

[MegaMagick]

Still can't believe that little pouch onside kick, wow. I really do wish we had a different coaching staff.

Punt return TD ring a bell?

 

[TheCoolFan]

Yup the pooch kick was one of the worst decisions of the season. Didn't you just draft a kicker because of his ability to kick the ball into the endzone?? It's not like the Bears even had THAT big of a return.

That one TD drive was a thing of beauty, and all I've been asking for. We ran it out of the I, ran it a lot in general, and the play actions off that were wide open. Then we just powered it down close and ran another play action for the TD -- again, wide open.

Just do that and I won't complain a bit.
