What the hell happened to the 34-31 shootout I was expecting?

Looks like it's gonna be another Sunday night close loss, a-la the Green Bay game, but I hope I'm wrong...

The seams in the defense are starting to show. Without a consistent pass rush from the DEs, they are in trouble. Bringing six to the line every down is a second-best option.

True, but the special teams put them in an awful situation.

The hole was MLB's responsibility. Also, Ogunleye has been cheating on the bootleg, and he just got caught.

That was the Bears worst defensive series in this game. Why isn't Briggs rockin the green dot anyway???

The Chicago Bears are the mostly poorly coached team in the NFL.

The sad part is that we're stuck with this coach and his embarrassingly bad staff.......

The Bears giftwrapped that game for the Falcons. That was the worst 4th qtr i've seen in a while

Cutler is soft tossing tonight. Many passes that should have been drilled he threw softly.
The Bears beat themselves tonight. Special teams sucked.

We outplayed them at the actual "football stuff". We just had penalties and dumb plays.

Forte, 15 carries, 23 yards, and 2 fumbles. What a night.

atlanta didn't play great; but those late penalties were brutal for the bears. i agree, the bears beat themselves.

To have that many false starts, penalties, and defensive confusion AFTER a fucking bye week is inexcusable. Nice job Lovie, you boob.

The takeaway from this game is probably that the Bears are one of the top few teams in the NFC (define few however you want) but that's about all. 1 for 4 in the red zone will kill you, but it's also a sign that your offense was moving pretty well throughout the game. The defense had trouble and got a deep INT in a tip, but at the same time they kept the running game in check pretty well while only giving up 21 points to a team that just lit up the supposedly good 49ers.

In my mind, there are (in no particular order):

Packers
Vikings
Bears
Falcons
Saints
Giants
Eagles

Only five of those teams are going to make the playoffs. I hazard no guesses as to which two will be left out.

Bears Defense was confused and out of position on numerous plays in the second half. But despite that, this was a game the Bears should have won. The penalties & special teams mistakes are inexcusable.

God, I hope the Cutler/Orton shit doesn't (unnecessarily) start up again tomorrow. I just can't think another day of it right now.
