What concerned me the most was the heart of this team failed to deliver when needed. We were up by a TD late and all they had to do was stop Denver from scoring and they couldn't. If you want to be the best Defense in the league you can not let Denver march down the field and score a TD late. They were 62 yards away with only 2:48 to go and couldn't stop them. They had them in a 4th and 10 and couldn't stop them. They had them in a 4th and 3 and couldn't stop them.
If you want to tout the Defense then they need to stand up when needed. They didn't. They failed.
Not to pile on, but you are dead wrong. Bears did stop one 4Q 84 yard drive with the pick (which I can't believe the announcers didn't show a closer look at whether Fuller went out of bounds). But after that what did the offense do, run 5 plays then punt? They were gassed and Flacco, although a statue, is a very accurate QB. I couldn't believe he was able to get off throws with guys on him.
I noticed when they blitzed Skrine for the 4th time in a row he had a clear shot to Flacco - but Pagano used his second timeout.
So what concerns me is the offense...the passing game is fukked up. The O-line gave up some pressure but no sacks - but Leno especially seems to be struggling this year. Are Miller and Burton still hurt? They are not a part of the offense like they were last year. And Cohen isn't being utilized. Shaheen and Braunecker aren't scaring anybody.
