The principal will be calling Sean into his office shortly....

Like I said, with that defensive performance.....that last Bears drive usually a garbage time drive.

To win the game, the team was essentially asked to go on the road and hold a team to 100+ total yards.....comical.

Hester beat us. That lame special teams play all day gave them field postion....countered our D to heavily slant the game in our favor for an easy win.

They started their final drive right around their own 20. The D played great until we went soft in the 4th quarter.

hmmm. they were running plenty of short stuff all day. i don't think they really did make any serious adjustments other than maybe executing a little better. the real problem is that WE adjusted in exactly the wrong way, on that final drive.

“I just play the defense they call, but you gotta switch it up,” Munnerlyn said. “I felt like [bears quarterback]

Jay Cutler, he knew what we were in. So he knew the weakness of the defense and they attacked it.”

According to Cutler, that’s exactly what happened.

“They were playing one coverage, and we just kept hitting them and hitting them and hitting them,” Cutler said. “That’s pretty much it.”

Well the man is right Bears did did not make any adjustments - you did idiot, you went to a prevent off man scheme.

McD is blaming the pathetic O

-and rightfully so

Riv is telling us that his corners cannot cover and he has to allow them cushion

-he is correct as well

Some of you really are seeing absolutely nothing but red.

A key play was the 3rd and 8 after the Nortman's choke 6 yard punt. When the back goes in motion, TD was left to cover Marshall allowing a first down with tons of pressure on Cutler.

Not sure how, but I wouldn't have had a LB on Marshall in that situation - he's definitely the primary. Maybe should have had another DB in the game, but would have loved to have had Norman on Marshall on that play if we're in man. My thought is that we should have audibled to a zone coverage instead. But that's up to the players, not McDermott.
