So how do we fix the pass rush and the run defense?

[Les Grossman]

I would say theirs were "more lucky." Doesn't matter. It happens. But theirs were the kind of bounces that got them TD's (or close to it). Ours got us the ball at our own 20. That bounce off Johnson, their RB made a great play, tackling 2 BEARS. That tackle isn't made, we get a freak touchdown. Wasn't to be today.

Agree. But that bounce off Johnson probably took points off the board for DET... for the time being anyway.

And yeah, 9 times out of 10 that INT is taken back for a TD. Not in the cards today indeed.

All the lucky bounces went their way today..Case in point the Stafford fumble in the end zone...We usually come away with those..Today we didn't...Shit happens

Clearly you ignored all the bounces that went CHI's way today that I posted... LOL at your tunnel vision.

I'm startin to think it's time to say goodbye to Peppers. He was such a great player, but he truly isn't what he was n I may be just a sour asshole but him smiling and dicking around after this emabressing lost today just pissed me off. Whwatever, payday is Monday and he don't give a ****

You can not turn the ball over 4 times and expect to win period. This wasn't a defensive issue, it was a bad decision issue.

Sad as it is to say, I'm pretty sure we were only -1 in the turnover war. That is, we had 5 - they had 4. Ours were more costly (DET got better field position when they forced turnovers...our field position sucked). Throw in a punt return all the way to the red zone and our D getting gashed...well, you know the rest.
