I think we are not giving the Bears enough credit... I think their game planning against our D was masterful. And a bit unnerving... good chance other teams we face follow the Bear's lead.
I don't think their game plan was particularly brilliant, or innovative.... just control the clock, take what our D 'seemed' more than willing to give them, wear our D down and squeak out a narrow win.
Teams with far more talent than the Bears may take that same plan and give us some real problems. OR...
We saw a D specifically geared for the Bears and nothing like, or little like, we'll see in the coming games. - JamesJM
