Bears’ D still as awful as it was pre-bye, and even a pick-6 wasn’t enough to mask it.
Dline pushed around. Bad angles. Slow recognition. Loose coverage.
Pass rush non-existent, and run defense a sieve.
Only thing that slowed down 9ers was their INJs.
It’s hard to imagine this team getting to SB with such a sub-par defense, but one must also remember that the Bears were, again, a throw away from stealing a victory against an 11-win team competing for the #1 seed at their house.
Gotta trust that both Ben Johnson and more specifically Dennis Allen can learn from the beating and adapt.
If not, it’ll be a short playoffs.

Bears@9ers WK17 SNF Thread
Game preview?
Stop Christian McCaffrey on the ground and through the air.
Purdy is efficient, but he’s not super-mobile and can throw some INTs if pressured.
Hopefully, BJ/Caleb start cooking early and deliver 4 complete QTRs of scoring, preferably by running over 9ers [minimal cuteness, por favor].We’re all going to be Panthers’ fan for a day. We’ll find out if SEA loses, and if Bears are playing for the #1 seed [and 9ers possibly for the NFCW] by kickoff.
Let’s roll!
