Bears Lose to Lions in Overtime
The Bears defense is all suspect after taking on a 0-5 team from the NFC north in the Lions and losing. No matter how good the offense is, the defense is not going to work with what they have, the 3-4 defense is so full of holes that no one knows what they are doing and the secondary is so suspect that they come up with plays that are mostly luck plays.
The defensive line which is supposed to be 3 down lineman is not getting any pressure on the QB and only gave Matt Stafford problems toward the end of the game when the Bears needed it in the first and second quarter.
If the Bears continue to use the 3-4 they are going to lose the rest of the games of the year due to lack of knowledge of a defense that has been suspect all year long and does not suit teams in the NFC north. If they find better players for the defense it might work but with what they have it won’t work.
The Bears fall 2-4 on the season with some players shining, they did score 34 points but as usual the defense is a lost cause and they lose it in overtime.
Jay Culter goes for 26/41 353 yards 1 touchdown and one interception which is seems quid pro quo for him in a game. It cannot escape Jay with at least throwing one interception in a game no matter who fault it is.
Matt Forte goes 24 carries for 69 yards and one touchdown and was stopped by the Lions defense on many plays the longest play from scrimmage for him was 11 yards which is unusual for him.
Alshon Jefferey gets 8 passes for 147 yards and 1 touchdown his longest play was for 45 yards, coming off the injury list Alshon had his best game of the year and looked great in his comeback and continues to be the go too guy for Cutler, just wish it was many more from Cutler.
If the Bears are going to win anymore games this year they will have to step up from all three phases not just one or two at a time.
There were some bright spots on the loss to the Lions just that the outcome was not what the Bears wanted and need to find a way to win.
