1. That was a pitiful performance. Out prepared, out coached, out played on both sides of the ball. Hard to know where to start with detailing the shortcomings of a performance like that. The Bears where missing 3 defensive starters and there starting QB and they still made the Vikings look like D II school.
2.
Wow. Bears have won the last 3 games against the Vikings and none of the games were ever close. Complete domination up front on both sides of the ball. The Bears backup QB usually had all day to throw, Zimmer's defense did nothing to mix things up or throw him off, jump routes, or do anything to materially change the game.
- On offense, the Vikings just bent over and took it. The Bears destroyed the Vikings offensive line all game. My god, Dalvin Cook trying to block was just embarrassing for him. He should not be on the field on passing downs. Cousins was god-awful today. He had his usual ball security, skittishness, indecisiveness, and just generally played like he needed his blanket and his mama. Diggs catches it and fumbles. Just awful, play-scared offense from everyone. The Bears owned this offense. It looked like a high school offense against pros.

Frustration with Cousins is totally justified. He just got upstaged by Mitch Trubisky's backup, FFS. But this game was lost in the trenches. On both sides of the ball, we got pushed around. That our OL couldn't handle its job, even with some starters missing from the Bears' formidable D, wasn't terribly surprising
4. I found myself way less intense during this game than previous ones, especially the GB game. I think it's because this game made me realize that there's no reason to care so much about the outcome, because THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY this team does anything significant this year. Hope has left the building. It's time to rebuild, AGAIN. As a fan for some 40 plus years, I'm really #### disappointed and fatigued.
5. All you have to do is look at how the Bears defended the Vikings to understand that. The Bears defense took away what the Vikings did well and attacked them mercilessly where they are weak. They exposed every flaw of that offense.
6. One of the most talented roster in the NFL? Our most talented D let some bum march down the field and set the tone. They chewed the clock up. No disrespect intended but that shouldn't happen against a talented D. This is a 500 squad for a reason. Both teams we played that have a winning record owned us. The Pack buried us right off the bat. I'm not an expert but this talented D didn't step up. The Bears effort was embarrassing. We couldn't even open a running lane playing against a beat up front. I certainly don't know what the problem is but the Bears beat up DL took control. And then we let Mack do his thing and strip our QB. We couldn't block him
7. One thing I will say is Dalvin Cook is a hell of a RB but my goodness is he horrid at pass blocking. Whiffed on the 2nd Cousins fumble and got blown back into Cousins on one of the sacks. Guys need to watch these sacks again and tell me how much time that guy really had back there. The bears got to the QB quicker than any other team in the NFL week 4. It's so easy for a fan to sit there and yell "throw the ball" but look at how much time he really had to throw and tell me how many of those sacks he was "holding the ball too long". He was lucky to get to the back of his drop they were coming so fast.

Same issues same pattern, OLine terrible, Cousins fumbles and wilts under pressure. Didn’t take advantage of a few opportunities he had with little pressure
Defense couldn’t get off the field against one of the worst Offenses in the nfl with their 2nd string qb. 2 offensive possessions in the first half? Seriously?
