Defense is two starters away from being very good.

Oh, I think an upgrade at MLB and FS absolutely puts this group in the top 10. We're currently just outside he top 10 in both yardage (11th) and points allowed (13th).

Talk to me at the end of the season after the injuries start mounting.  Then you will know what you have.

The Bears rushed for a total of 28 and 35 yards in their 2 games leading up to the Panther game. The Chicago Bears were a one-dimensional team and, despite knowing they were going to be a pass-oriented offense, the Panthers had nothing yesterday.

No pressure on a quarterback who, when he ran yesterday, I thought I could beat in a foot race.

I'm still undecided on what this defense actually is.   I could go either way.   Or I mean we likely could be extremely average. I mean there are arguments that we have caught a lot of very lucky breaks that last 4 weeks that have made us look much better than we really are. 

rookie QB making his first start cross country, AZ team who WRs were banged up coming in and not practicing, a ATL team whose WRs were banged up/hurt, the Bears have one of the worst offenses in the NFL. 

I really like some of the guys up front.  I'm still not sold on the back 7 being able to get the job done vs good healthy offenses.

If LT isn’t there for us in the first, I’d really take a look at MLB. If we could somehow pull an MLB, C, and DT out of the next draft, maybe we could grab an above average safety and guard. I know that doesn’t appease the anti-teddy brigade but it would make this team Significantly better.

*gonna need Tepper to throw a roof up real quick for this to then have a shot. 

As long as he takes the bat to Whitehead and throws him through a table I’m all for it

They got pressure on Foles.. What game were you watching?

Our secondary has been fine, safeties included, losing Justin Burris might change that now.

Our biggest need is middle linebacker and another pass rushing De. We are not getting consistent pressure outside of Burns. 

Gross Matos, though injured, has had one of the highest pressure percentages in the league.

The one with Carolina getting no sacks and one TFL (and that was on a RB) on an immobile QB.

Y’all just piling on our weak links . Anybody with common football knowledge know we are more than just two players away on this defense lol . Only one legit pass rusher . Need another corner maybe even two. another d tackle and some depth . Linebacker depth . Etc

I agree I’m all for pressure but if you not getting tfls or sacks it’s become redundant after a while

Sacks and pressure are 2 different things.. You know that right?? The int and almost Int was due to pressure.. Foles was hit a more then  few times and forced out the pocket as well.. What game were you watching??

[LinvilleGorge]

Foles was 23/39 for 198 yards 1 TD and 1 INT. He barely averaged 5 yards per attempt.

I honestly don't know why people are complaining about the D. We turned the ball over three times and only gave up 23 points. That's pretty outstanding.

As I said, the one with no sacks and 1 TFL. Against an immobile QB with no running game. 

The game Carolina lost because their defense was atrocious against a 1-dimensional team.

What game were you watching- the one you think they won?

He probably meant not being able to get home and get a single sack vs a team the world knew wasn't going to be able to run the ball. 

but yeah, they got some pressure on slow and immobile Foles.
