Disappointment now or disappointment later. The Eagles kind of exposed us. The offense just isn't there yet and our vaunted defense got shut down pretty well compared to what the expectations were. Foles looked really comfortable back there, even for a guy who threw two picks. I thought the Eagles Oline did a great job shutting down Mack and Hicks. This was a total team loss. The offense did nothing for three quarters. Our running game did nothing. Our pass rush did almost nothing. Our secondary played really well all things considered but came up short on the game winning drive that put the Eagles ahead. Our special teams was pretty fucking atrocious, notwithstanding one clutch return by Cohen.
This Eagles offense impressed upon me the importance of a GREAT O-line. When you shut down Mack like Jason Peters did, I think it's clear that our Oline is second rate at best.
I think there's really a lot to be said today about whether the Bears made a mistake letting the Eagles into the playoffs. The match ups did not work in our favor. But I don't know if the Bears would've beaten the Saints in New Orleans any way.
