Sean McDermott

Uh, yeah they were. I saw Forte get hit in the back field multiple times, a lot of which came on his big plays.

He's called a good game, our players didn't respond.

Do you wanna talk about the Cardinals game?

EDIT: While we're at it, and I remember the Peterson return, I would like to acknowledge ST as being an even bigger problem than our D.

Proudiddy stop making threads when you are on your period after a game.

srsly.. wtf prouddiddy.. STFU..

[Udogg]

Nope gonna have to disagree.. Morgan was getting tied up in blocks that Beason would shed, Gaither and Anderson were getting washed out of plays, early in game DT were getting pushed out the way. All about execution.

[Frizzy350]

yea poor tackling really killed us. many times we had people in position to stop forte for negative and gave up a huge play. we are so used to having davis/beason who almost NEVER miss tackles. Gotta remember forte is being paid money to make people miss.

yes.

special teams suck.

Most of the big runs that they had were runs to the perimeter that Davis and Beason would normally clean up. What we saw today was the lack of athleticism and lack of ability to adapt by Williams, Connor, and Anderson. The DTs are going to be weak all year...they're rookies after all. The play of the LBs is what hurt us today. I think that Godfrey and Martin helped out in the running game as much as the LBs did, which is pathetic.

Not to mention the fact that on top of the defense, the ST screwed the game for us again...two long returns (one for a TD) and a blocked FG. That is the difference in at least 10 points right there on two plays. Then who knows if Chicago scores the other TD if Hester doesn't set them up. Just sloppy play all the way around. Every game we've played so far has been that way. A lot of penalties, missed tackles, and ST mistakes.

[Proudiddy]

But selling out and getting gashed for 20+ yarders is happening a lot more than us getting them for a negative play.

Yes, there have been missed tackles and blown coverages, but some of that is because you have to adjust to your personnel. Beason and Davis aren't out there anymore.

I'm tired of seeing "Career High" every f*cking week beside an opponent's name.

As my "pissed off" level gradually decreases after the game ended, I'm not saying McDermott's playcalling is our biggest problem - part of that was being pissed in the heat of the moment after having Forte break off that big run when we still had a chance in the game.

But, this isn't all on the players like some are trying to say. I'm not seeing many adjustments being made with the changes we've had in personnel.

[Donald LaFell]

Its not mcdermott. We're missing gamble, beason, davis, and we have 3 dts who are promising but mediocre. Only bright spot on the team are our defensive ends.

We held them to 20 points. Not that bad. Beason and davis were not limited laterally like connor/williams are.

[Guest Irv]

everyone should be like me and smoke a bowl after a loss it makes me feel a hell of alot better and hungry.

[Guild]

Sean McDermott can't make people avoid or shed blocks. There were plenty of chances for players to seal the Chicago running game up and the execution just wasn't there.

I'd say with Beason and Davis in the lineup the running game wouldn't have been nearly as effective. The rookie DTs also are hurting us but not as much as not having Beason and Davis.

I have no issue with the play calling especially considering how effective our line is at the pass rush vs. Chicagos pass blocking. Hardy, Johnson, and McClain seem to consistently pressure passers.

Mods, please change the thread title. My period is slowing down now.
