Defense
-We are starting on the defense this week because of that absolutely deplorable performance that they put on the field coming out of the bye week. 274 yards after the catch, including a 43 and 75 yard TD in the 4th quarter that were thrown less than 10 yards from the line of scrimmage. 0 sacks and 4 QB hits against a banged up OL and a backup QB. I do not envy the guy who has to count the missed tackles because I have never seen anything like that before from a non-Mel Tucker Bears defense.
-Vic Fangio's game plan was hot garbage. His zone defense was getting torched all game, they were generating 0 pressure and he refuses to go to man to man and blitz more. What is the point in staying in zone when you are giving up huge plays?
-Eddie Jackson was brutal. His lack of effort and terrible angles on the long TDs was pathetic and it looked like he quit in the heat. He turned it on a little in the 4th quarter, but at that point it was too late.
-Roquan and Trevathan were a complete joke. Not only were they worked over in the run game, but neither had a clue what they were doing in the passing game. They both looked soft and lost. Late in the game on the OT drive Drake crosses right in front of Roquan and gains 15 yards because it looked like Roquan had lost the power of movement. Just a garbage game from both of them.
-Mack was hurt so I am not sure how much to put on him for the lack of pressure, but it sure would be nice if 25% of the holds committed against him were called.
-You see that Lynch and Floyd feed off of Mack. Neither was particularly good without the disruption that Mack causes. The Floyd roughing the passer was a terrible call, but what the hell was he doing on the suplex play?
-Hicks looked tired all game and still made plays.
-Goldman barely played, my guess is the heat chewed him up and spit him up. No wonder they were so garbage against the run. The Bears gave up 5.6 YPC to the Dolphins running backs.
-No one else stood out on the DL obviously. A bunch of guys standing around watching RBs run by in the heat.
-Nice game from Kyle Fuller. He actually brought some life to the defense in the middle of the game with those picks.
-I thought Callahan and Amos played fine, but it is hard to throw bouquets at anyone in the secondary with the pathetic missed tackles. Callahan was especially guilty of not wrapping up and finishing tackles, which is strange because he is normally so physical.
-Big picture I think this was just a really crappy game from a good unit and a good coach. I think we probably need to table the historic defense talk, because they simply give up way too many big plays in crunch time to be "historic". Historic defenses do not allow Albert Wilson to run through them on 2 different occasions. It is tough with New England coming into town, because I think that they are going to have another rough day. They need Khalil Mack to be healthy.
