* Urlacher angry about the coaching staff taking a penalty instead of the play which had Dallas 2nd & 13.

* In the 2nd half,Cutler could not get the play on his helmet and called a TO instead of just calling his own play. Are today's QB's that brainwashed as to not call their own plays?

* Tommie Harris: Is he still on the team?

* In the second half,the Cowboys were 3rd and long BUT Julius Peppers was on the sidelines. I think the Bears got a Turnover on that play BUT why is the 90million dollar man not playing on 3rd downs?

Julius came up lame for a play. He was on the sidelines getting looked at.

Ok,thanks,did not hear that during the game.

The biggest concern has to be the lack of a running game and inability to pick up 3rd and short on the ground.

They have a new FB,can he run with the ball for a yard?

Yea, they didn't mention it. I'd recommend Twitter to anyone during the game. Biggs, Zaidman and a host of other Chi writers provide great updates you don't get from the announcers.

Tommie Harris was terrible yesterday. I still don't understand why the Bears don't release him & the $8 Million dollars the Bears will pay him this year. That's right...500K PER GAME for a stat line like this yesterday:
Tack Ast Sack Yds FFum FumR PD Int Yds IntTD
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
He did absolutely nothing yesterday.

Here's what the Bears got from Peppers & his $17 Million this year. That's right...almost $1 Million PER GAME for this yesterday:
Tack Ast Sack Yds FFum FumR PD Int Yds IntTD
0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0

At least Peppers had the excuse he was double teamed. I watced Tommie for a series and 2 plays he ended up face down on the ground with a guy on top of him and the 3rd play he was cut. Watching him off and on resulted in similar results for him.

These stats didn't translate very well. Peppers had 2 passes defended.

My main concern this week revolves around the possibility that
Jay Cutler's head may actually become detached from his body
and roll to the sideline after a Clay Matthews blindside hit.

Their run blocking is bad but I'm more mad about the pass rush considering the "talent" that is there.

I'd like to see DA out there this week too.

Not sure how many snaps Toeaina was out there for but he got his name called a
number of times. If he is going to play with passion and effort I have no problem
keeping him in a little more often. I'd like to see a little more pressure on the
opponents QB as well. We're going to need to get to Rodgers next weekend if
we want to force any turnovers. He is close to as accurate as Cutler back there.

That felt like a weird protest on Urlacher's part.

Lovie apparently has more confidence in the D than Urlacher? I didn't get it.

Make one big play every 2 games then do his Gator Chomp?

Yes but that would be one more big play than Tommie Harris has every 2 games...and Alex Bron makes $750K this year -vs- Tommies #8 Million this year. Alex's ROI is a bit better than Tommies.

Alex regularly made great plays in the run game. Two games into the season, have you seen one big play from Idonije and Anderson?

Pretty sure I heard that Cutler is banned from calling any sort of adlib play or audible out of a play. If Martz wants it, he'll tell him ahead of time.

They're giving up 28 yards/game on the ground and 1.4 yards/rush.

Urlacher and Briggs seem to have enough room to move to make every tackle so I can live with their seeming lack of production in the run game.

The Bears defense has faced 85 passing plays (4th most in the NFL) versus 41 running plays (29th most in the NFL). So, short of getting a sack, there haven't been a lot of tackles to be had on the line of scrimmage.

Has Mark Anderson ever made a big play against the run?

_________________

He's made some big bad plays.

But, then he hasn't needed to make any big plays and they've done just fine - better than fine, in fact.

Especially so, considering that Lovie and His Fearless and Formidable Cadre of Arm-Rakers are willing to grant you as many yards via the air as you desire in manageable doses.

I surprised anybody bothers to run against the Bears. I think they do it out of habit.
