Sadly, this is not the defense team to put pressure on no one.

If pressure is to be successfully aplied,look to our secondary, where we will have to double team and forget the blitzes and pull our safeties repeatedly into the backfield and hope for interceptions.

I love blitzes but this won't be the game for them.

Agreed about our inability to rush the QB. Skins have the same issue if they don't blitz. Unless ware and hatcher show up big, I don't see us getting to foles much. I hope they prove me wrong.

That horrible pass defense stopped a passing game that torched us last week. Marshall, Jeffrey and Bennett did whatever they wanted against the Cowboys hopeless secondary. They did nothing last night.

The difference was that the Eagles pressured Cutler all night. And that pass rush is coming after Romo and his wonky back Sunday night.

So those stats don't mean a whole lot to me. I go by what I see.

The difference was they played an ice cold Cutler instead of a red hot McCown. Bears should've stayed with the hot hand instead of assuming their momentum would continue with Cutler.

It'll have to be with the front four.

I foresee a busy day for our blocking fullback, then. Believe me, by Friday, Jason will half considered all the dynanics, including the rush on Romo.

We need to run the ball down their throats. Murray has to be dominant. He needs 30 carries or more. We need to possess the ball 35-40 minutes. And we need a couple of turnovers.

That's how you win the game. It's possible.

McCoy may explode... They got to contain that beast. But I'm afraid they'll just run at Ware who'll be taking awide-sweepin agle right outsde the play. Hopefully, many a containment will not be broken that day.

The focus is to stop McCoy. Our guys need to stay in their lanes and watch for those cutbacks.

Getting Harris, Lee and Mo back will be huge. We miss Harris' explosiveness and Lee's ability to stop the run. Having Mo gives us 4 CB's to use.

Pressure the QB to help our secondary.
Run the ball and control the clock.
Win the turnover battle.

Anything else I'm missing? Its the same approach every game lol

A successful screen play to slow their blitz might be nice.
