They Are Who I Thought They Were!

The Bears are who I thought they were! As did everybody else who has even a little football sense. They lost to a team with inferior talent, with a coach in his first year with the team, who has lost 16 of their last 18 games on the road. The Seahawks came in to Soldier Field and had their way with the Bears. Oh, and Jay Cutler was back under center this week so the Collins/Hanie tandem can’t be used an excuse. It was pathetic and I had a hard time turning the game back on when I switched to a red-zone channel during commercials.

The Bears used its 4th different O-line in 6 weeks. Garza had his knee scoped, so Tice had no choice but to do some player shuffling. The Bears used the best players they have on the roster, which is fine. Unfortunately, the best linemen they had included the most idiotic. The Seahawks would run an inside stunt with the DE and I think Webb had a crush on him, either that or he was playing shadow because he just kept following him inside and they would blitz from the outside and Cutler was a sitting duck. Quack. Forte missed at least two blitz pick-ups as well. Quack Quack. Cutler gets sacked six more times after missing a week with a concussed head. I know it would be telling the defense that it’s a passing play, but Chester Taylor needs to be in there every passing play. At this point I just want my franchise QB upright and not on his back looking thru his ear-hole. The opposition knows that every play has about a 70% chance of being a passing play anyway, so might as well have your best protection scheme on the field. But hey, that would be logical so for the Bears it’s out of the question.

By the way, was Julius Peppers’ name called at all yesterday? Must have been one of those notorious weeks that he takes off even though he’s physically on the field. He should have had a field day with the nearly immobile Hasselback taking the snaps. Or if he was being double teamed and being chipped off the edge, where was Izzy on the other end who must have been 1-on-1? The defense can’t be this inconsistent. It was good at bending for a few weeks, but yesterday it broke.
