We may of lost the battle, but the war isnt over. Wounded the bears by taking 5 of their starters from them.. Still in wildcard and division title hunt.. Just gotta go back and do better. Ponder can make plays if people catch the ball, and the O-Line blocks. I thought it was a decent game by Ponder.

The bears convert 10 or 11 third downs. Cutler didn't get touched the entire game. Bears were supposed to have this horrible oline but they looked a hell of a lot better than the vikes. They ran on will the entire game as well.
Playcalling was bad at times the obvious one being 3rd and 4th and two and they run the same play. Peterson should have touched the ball on at least one of the downs especially when he was starting to get into a groove. Cant put all of the blame on Ponder yes he over threw and under threw a few passes but 9 drops by the receivers. Its the receivers job to catch the damn ball and when ponder puts it between the numbers or at your hands you catch the god damn ball. Peterson's fumbles were bad yet he seemed like the only player to give a damn in the fourth quarter.
There needs to be a coaching change mainly Musgrave. Coming off of the bye and looking like shit is unacceptable. This is now the second time this year they have had extended time to prepare and both times they looked like shit. Yes its the Bears and it was outside but that is not a good excuse for how they played.
The fumble return overturn after being confirmed seemed like bullshit as well but what do you expect at this point.None

Negatives:
* 9 drops this game. Jesus.
* Bears have a top 10 passing D, but have been giving up a lot on the ground, especially in the last four weeks. We have the top rusher in the NFL and one of the worst passing attacks. So of course we run the ball right? No. We pass 43 times and run 20.
* They were 10/14 on third downs before heading in to garbage time.
* Our DL got ZERo sacks and only 2 pressures against a patchwork OL
* Refs manage to screw us on the PI call in the endzone, and then review a play TWICE to take a TD away from us.
Positives:
* Wright is looking like he has potential.
* ... uh .... um ... shitZeus wrote:

Lots to blame...
Turnovers
Dropped Balls
Pass Blocking
D-Line=No pressure
Ponder not able to exploit playaction.
Play calls: Give AD the ball early and often

I respectfully disagree with the Ponder is terrible comment. I honestly don't know what else he could have done. He can't throw it to himself. (Well, OK he can, but we saw how well that worked out...) He was 22/43 with 9 drops. He needs SOME help. I did like that he is putting some zip on the ball now - but those long passes were not on target either.

I saw more potential in TJoke than I am seeing in Ponder. He had bad WRs too. He had bad play calling too. He had a bad OL too. It is just not there. Originally Posted by NodakPaul
