So, as I thought my eyes told me, the 2 guys that played the most got the WORST grades. Teams are gonna keep taking advantage of these guys playing for sacks INSTEAD of their duties...better get this straightened out NOW!!!!!
Not how most teams will pay, it not normal and wont win games consistently.
The Bears reworked their offense at their bye week and started to throw in new wrinkles and decided they would run no matter what, against no matter who and no matter the situation. Its odd and hard to stop..dudes were averaging that same type of level the last 2 games and did it again against us. just because they played one way back a month agio doesn't mean its the same team, case in point, the bucs the first 3 games vs the last 3, not close to the same.
would work against most teams who dont run the ball 46 times no matter the situation, down, distance, or score.. its tough for any defenses to cover that type of run game without being gassed.
I look at it this way,
teams like that that cant throw and all they do is run and run well , eventually they are actually just running clock. we had the lead all game and they keep running. 21 , 14, 20 etc etc they just kept running and most of those drives stalled, no points or 3 points. we did stop them many times just had those few extended drives over penalties or they simply got us few times.
.well, that's the same thing our offense would do to shorten a game and eat clock with big leads. teams like the bears assisted us in a lot of ways buy simply running long winded drives that ate clock and didn't typically pay off.
it looked worse with many of their scoring drives extended by bad calls by the refs , i mean it was insane how many 2nd chances that Offense got and kept our D out there..
Most NFL defenses cant stop that,
they can slow it down and beat it but Team defenses have slowly switched to nickel, dime and hybrid type defenses with smaller players to counter act the "pass Happy" league weve been in..
so when say 3-4 teams have no choice as all the all they have with Mobile qb, RBS, with huge deficiency's at OL and passing QB, they will run such a crazy different run offense , its hard to stop especially when the refs are not calling holding calls and making mistakes on roughing calls, fumbles that never were, taking back INTs etc etc
it looked far worse than it was..the bears long term will not be successful with this type of offense.
eagles are similar but hey have a a far better Pass options on their offense..so while they can be hard to defense as we saw in the 2nd half our d did stop them on all but one drive that was really our qb giving them 3 INTs but the last one was a dagger.
im not that worried. they can watch this tape a lot and figure out a way to improve but really the bears ran the clock out on themselves. that type of offense doesn't succeed long term. much lie Wildcat or gimmick offense can work at times, its not sustainable when the team across from you can throw it and run it.
