My favorite teams
Bears pass protection was insane
If you really break it down it wasn't as good as you think it was.
It was the run that really allowed for the pressure to be taken off the offensive line.
Look at the one series in the second half where the Bears passed it all the way down the field. They were able to execute that because the Panthers were expecting the run.
Then the Panthers adjusted at the end of that series and all of a sudden the offensive line started looking like it did earlier in the season.
The Bears need the run to take the pressure off the offensive line. We don't have the offensive line to be a pass heavy offense.
With balance we can definitely do some damage but keep in mind they really didn't have the horses on their defensive line to make trouble for us.
All in all it's still a really good effort and I think the key here is the Bears need to remain balanced on offense and run a lot of play action in order to be successful this season.
But don't let it trick you into falling in love with average to below average offensive lineman....
