Posted on September 9, 2012 by Tom Shannon

Offense The Colts came out and eventually played pretty standard 3-4 defense. There were some blitzes but nothing really fancy. They did occasionally try to challenge the Bears with tight coverage, especially early. But they were living dangerously and they … Continue reading →

Posted on December 12, 2011 by Tom Shannon

Posted on December 4, 2011 by Tom Shannon

Defense The Chiefs came out running against the Bears defense with a couple short passes. This was apparently to take the pressure off of KC quarterback Tyler Palko. They were probably also anticipating a defensive game with Caleb Hanie at … Continue reading →

Quick Game Comments: Chargers at Bears

Posted on November 21, 2011 by Tom Shannon

Offense The Chargers didn’t mess around and put eight in the box on first down immediately. No surprise. They seem to like playing single coverage and you definitely want to make the Bears beat you through the air. That didn’t … Continue reading →

Game Comments: Bears at Lions

Posted on October 11, 2011 by Tom Shannon

Defense The Bears played a lot of straight seven in the box with nickel personnel. The poor tackling continues. Very disappointing.  Again, in past year they would have cleaned that up by now. The pass rush was really poor, especially … Continue reading →

Game Comments: Panthers @Bears 10/2/11

Posted on October 2, 2011 by Tom Shannon

Defense For some reason I don’t understand the Bears were giving Steve Smith no apparent extra attention.  Its fairly obvious that Cam Newton depends heavily on him.  I had flash backs to Wes Welker last year. The Bears were playing … Continue reading →

Posted on January 16, 2011 by Tom Shannon

Game Comments: Bears Vs. Packers, January 2, 2011

Posted on January 3, 2011 by Tom Shannon

Defense The Bears defense came out with all of the starters and they apparently came to play.  For the most part they played fast and down hill. The defense came out mixing it up and blitzing early.  They did less … Continue reading →

Game Comments: Bears Vs. Jets, December 26, 2010

Posted on December 26, 2010 by Tom Shannon

Offense The Bears came out running and the Jets came out playing aggressive man-to-man defense, crowding the line and blitzing a lot.  The Bears struggled and their wide receivers just weren’t getting open in the short passing game.  The Jets … Continue reading →
