Before I get to the recap, a shout out goes to Carl from Fire Mike Martz for letting me use his parking pass to Sunday’s game. For the rest of you, check out his site. It’s much better written than anything on here.
Seattle sucks. Plain and simple. But yet, they came out and depantsed the Bears on both sides of the football. The offensive line sucked. The running game couldn’t get going. Instead of the Bears sitting Cutler another game to make sure he was healthy, they threw him out there and he once again looked lost on a lot of plays. Oh and on defense, the Bears once again became the infamous “I-Pass Defense.” Luckily, the Packers lost too so the Bears maintain their one game lead in the division. Let’s break it down:
Mike Martz: This guy is really showing why other teams didn’t want him. He doesn’t allow Cutler to call audibles nor does he make any adjustments during the game. Instead of shortening the back-drops for Cutler, he continues to make him do seven step back-drops which results in him getting killed. In the Dallas game, they had Cutler do immediate throws which resulted in big plays and touchdowns for the Bears. In the last few games, no changes. Cutler was sacked six times and one of them was for a safety. That needs to change. The offensive line fucking sucks and it’s not going to get better. So it’s time to adjust to the shitty line. It can be done.
And for all those fucking idiots who want to bring up stats, here’s one for you clowns: The Bears were 0-12 on 3rd downs. That’s PATHETIC.
Defense: Well it took six games but the defense returned to it’s old self. As mentioned in the beginning, the “I-Pass defense” made an appearance and didn’t leave. The supposed “bend it but not break” defense as they call it broke and any logical fan saw it coming.
Charles Tillman fucking sucks. You want proof of that? Mike Williams who has been an NFL bust had the game of his life with (Cue the idiots) 10 catches for 123 yards. And who was he being defended by nearly the whole game? Tillman. Oh and Tillman also did a nice job trying to cover Deon Butler (Who?) on a 22 yard touchdown play. What a piece of shit. Angelo needs to find a cornerback in next year’s draft who can actually play defense on a wide receiver instead of one who’s only capable of causing fumbles once in a great while.
The front four of the defense wasn’t very good either. They did cause some pressure on Hasselbeck but for the most part, he had all day to throw. The defense as a whole played like shit. Even if Briggs was able to play, it probably wouldn’t have mattered. They gave up over 100 yards rushing and nearly 250 yards passing. It doesn’t sound like much but it was enough to beat this team.
Stupid penalties: Once again, the Bears prove they are the center of the universe when it comes to this. On a kickoff return in the second half, Danieal Manning takes back a touchdown yet to have it called back on a holding penalty by the returning Rod Wilson. There was a reason why this guy wasn’t picked up by another team. Apparently, the Bears also love picking up other team’s trash and thinking they will do better on their team. Oh and can someone explain to me why a holding or illegal block in the back always seemed to be called? How fucking hard is it to just block somebody and not push them from behind or grab them and throw them to the ground? Oh that’s right. These are the Bears we are talking about.
Next week, the Bears face another average team in the Redskins. Go ahead and print it now. The Bears will lose. I don’t think they have beaten them since the early 90’s. I don’t think that’s a joke either. They seriously haven’t beaten them in the last 10 or 15 years. I don’t see it changing next Sunday either. 4-3 here we come.
