Maybe but they have been playing very consistent football today. One INT  could def change the game though. 

Pass rush was doing a good job at the end of the first half so that makes me optimistic.  

I know Phil Snow is worried about our DBs, but they need to force the Bears to go deep.  If they beat us, whatever.  If they don't though, we can force them into some wasted plays.  But we can't just let Foles keep getting whatever he wants underneath.  Make him hold the ball and push it downfield.

Isn't that your guy at qb?

You know it is I’m shocked he’s even still here since his favorite player Allen went to Washington

We need a quick stop on the opening drive.

Looking forward to our adjustments 

I'm so cynical from the Rivera years it's like I'm in an alternate universe.

Foles is playing better than I remember seeing him play ever.

We held them to 13 points in the first half and only 13 rushing yards after an INT gave them the ball deep into the red zone. We aren't behind because of defense. The defense is playing damn we'll all things considered.

We just can’t make a play.

I see both sides. I would like to see some blitzing tried at least.

Nah, he's played this well and better during his SB run. Dude can be REALLY good, he's just had a lot of issues with consistency.

I'm not saying we're behind because of them, however I think they could have done a better job forcing the Bears into punting sooner.  My point is that we need to flip the field to help our offense; expecting them to drive 75 yards and get a TD vs this defense is a lot to ask.  At some point the defense has to force a 3 and out or at the very least, not let them get to midfield before they punt.

Well let's see what Phil Show can do.
