Is Pagano ruining this defense?

I had a feeling this would happen when he was hired to replace Vic.

His lousy defenses with the Colts held them down his whole time there, and he seems to be on his way to ruining this unit as well. Guy has never proven a thing in the NFL as a defensive guy. He came from the Ravens, where everyone and their grandmother had successful defenses because of Ozzie's personnel evaluation.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago White Sox
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Miami Hurricanes
  2. Northern Illinois Huskies
I hate when teams get up early and then stop doing all the things they did to get into that position.

We built a lead then Pagano switches to soft coverage and they start moving the ball pretty easily.

But no. He's not ruining the defense.

Considering how many ticky tack penalties.... they did fine.

Hopefully Hicks and Nichols come back healthy next week.

The Onion does satire, too. But theirs includes humor.

Way too much off-coverage for my liking. Giving up way too many easy 1st Downs.
The off coverage when up by several scores is to make sure they don't give up a quick TD.

Like a baseball team playing "no doubles" defense, you may be slightly more likely to give up a single, but less likely to lose.

I don’t understand this fanbase at all. It’s like the 85 Bears was the best pussy we’ve ever gotten and no one after can ever compare.

This was an outstanding defensive performance.

The Bears played great defense until under 40 seconds left in the first half. You are up 28-0 against a bad team and are worried about big plays with that defensive talebt!?! To me it is idiotic and a losers mentalitty to go soft. The Redskins amassed over 300 yards of total offense in two quarters and people think the D played great They did until their D coordinator lost his balls!

I saw them a lot last year. Saw them during the Lovie Smith Years as well. It’s not the end of the world

Why would I not be? What do you think I'm not serious about? Are you familiar with how horrible Pagano was with the Colts? Are you watching tonight's game?
What I watched iis a defense playing to their talent level for almost 2 quarters, and then looking like the Giants the rest of the way.
