A combined 2.5 sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss over the first 4 games isn't nearly the production you need or expect for a nearly combined 40 million this season for these 2 players.

Tonight is the night these guys can start earning their money.

You don't beat Brady by blitzing him, he is just too smart for that. You beat him by getting pressure with your defensive front and dropping plenty of guys in coverage.

Old Tom has always been kryptonite for our Bears. But father time has caught up to some degree. Time for the 40 million dollar men to do some damage.

Mack failed on the 2nd Colts drive when he was gifted a tip pass straight into his chest. Would have given the ball back inside the colts 20 yard line and may have completely changed the complexion of the game.

He needs to make that play

Without a NT to eat the pocket up for the pass rush Brady will be stepping into his throws all game. By the time Mack and Quinn turn the corner the ball will likely be out or he will be able to buy the extra second.

The NT is crucial to space eating.

Brady doesn’t get sacked too often and he has a pretty good oline.

Mack always earns his paycheck! Quinn needs topick it up!

is it me or is it blatantly obvious that the quickest way to I’m prove this team this year By adding one player would be To sign a snacks Harrison type player, besides a QB!

A left tackle would help as much but they don’t exist in this market.

hopefully urban plays more tonight and let Nichols play his native position which I think will also help Mack and Quinn but what do I know?

The LT sucks so bad the QB get the blame for it. Its truly horrendous.

With Trevathan losing a couple steps, Brady is going to destroy them underneath if our edge rushers dont earn their paychecks. Ive given Mack a lot of slack in the past but its time for him to get home. No more of this pressure shit. Too many QBs are good under pressure if you're not hitting them.

Somehow Urban got lucky vs the Colts' last drive down the field into our territory just before halftime.. he did get to the sack on Rivers but the defense was clueless on what the call for our defense was.. probably because the call didn't get to Roquan on time but you could hear Danny(yes, DTRE that is) yelling for the guys on the line to make adjustments, which did happened at the last possible second. Hicks and Urban wasn't even set to go because Rivers called for the snap and knew they was lacking at that moment but Urban just got really lucky. It was sloppy AF.
2 other times no call got in for defense on time, but at this one point in the game when the defense didn't get their call, Danny yelled like crazy for a on the fly line adjustment..hicks didn't hear him, til his neighbor yelled and then Hicks finally slid over..can't be dropping calls for the defense if we don't have a NT out there..it could of been pretty ugly.

you may be wrong..no good plays from NT's = shit plays from our ILB's.

lol... how is this confusing.... with a shitty NT or undersized one the option to run and ability to get the guy out of the gaps becomes extremely easy. When a true NT is on the field the run becomes less likelyat those two gaps and even less likely with Hicks on the field.

there is freedom for the ends with atrue NT on the field.

It should be crystal clear to the defense that if they want playoff success it's all on their shoulders. They cannot depend on their offense.

I agree that these guys need to show up big tonight. We need negative plays and momentum changing plays. Pressure is good, but with Brady you need more.

After the Colts game, there is no knowing what the offense will give you tonight. So it's time for these two to take over the game themselves.

Its time for Pagano to start dialing up the blitzes. Inexcusable for him to not pressure a statue like Rivers last week.

Just noticed the Bucs are #1 in overall DVOA...and the Bears have the hardest DVOA schedule remaining.
