Something that is being over looked from Thursday

[WestCoastBearsFan]

The defense played like absolute warriors, particularly in the front 7. Without 3 key leaders, Hicks, Danny T, and Roquan (who according to Hoge and Jahns played almost the entire first drive with a torn Pec because he refused to come out of the game), they shut down Ezekiel Elliot and that great Dallas OL. Chuck Pagano has done a great job keeping this unit playing at a high level despite injury.

back up linebackers did a hell of a job....

It certainly helped that the Cowboys were the keystone cops for most of the game though......it was a shitty gameplan they had.

This a case where the offense took the Cowboys out their game plan in the second half........The offense, racking up points made the Cowboys a one dimensional team.

I would agree wholeheartedly with the OP right up until about the last 10 minutes of the game when Pagano went into the soft defense..I know all about the strategy of it all, I just don't agree with it..Play whatever worked for 3 quarters..If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I wonder how much of this at the direction of Nagy. Didn’t Fangio do the same thing last year too?

I can’t complain too much but if they are going into a soft prevent, they better not give up big plays which they did several times.

How many teams have you seen that don’t go into a soft zone late with a big lead? The only team I can think of is the patriots

Plus, they allowed the Dallas receivers to get out of bounds thereby stopping the clock

I wonder why they are so successful?...lol

 

[bamainatlanta]

I thought Smith looked bad early. They were picking on him in coverage

 

[Les Grossman]

I can’t stand the long 3rd and 4th down conversions. It seems like we’ve had more success bringing the blitz on 4th downs as opposed to rushing only 3 and play zone coverage.

Other than that, the defense played well against a very stout OL

Last week is the first time I watched a Bears game this year and was thoroughly entertained. As a fan, that's all I ask. I'm not a SB or bust kinda fan.

But when we went conservative on both offense & defense for the 4th quarter...it was getting hard to watch. They beat the Cowgirls worse than the score seemed.

Bigger thing was how our Oline played against Dallas's front 7.

 

[KoreanBear]

I didnt really mind the soft d in that game because the lead was large enough.

Another thing worth mentioning is that nagy kept the team together in what seemed like an almost done season.

He might not be the best OC but he seems like a good HC. I hope he gives up play calling duties and just focuses on being a HC.

It's gotta be the throwback uniforms and Roquan is just faking this injury right?

E.Elliott had 19 carries for 82 yards and 2 TD's so not quite shutting him down.

Getting A.Hicks back will be big for stopping the run and Kwiat is good against the run as well. KPL being our cover LBer is a little worrisome but he'll be better than Kwiat i hope.

I think the world wide Mitch hate brought the team together.

 

[PeterMbangala]

I agree they did a great job but I am worried about how they cope with GB and Chiefs. Last time Kwit played against Rodgers he got picked apart in coverage.

Hopefully Hicks can come in and step up the pass rush and Prince gets fit.

KPL played really well.

Take away his one big run and his numbers don’t look as good

The Cowboys are not good at playing from behind and when the FG was missed and we took that lead they seemed to get away from Zeke and depend more on Dak. Dak also only used 4 players throughout the game until the 4th quarter when he decided it was time to get yards without his favorite targets. This was what allowed them to come back. He also was skipping balls into his WRs because he was under alot of pressure which he created by standing in the pocket too long. He might have a lot of yards but he holds the ball too damn long.

Fuller dropping picks hurts. He’s so good at jumping those short routes with his closing speed but has Amos hands.
