Brandon Marshall needs to get it going in the second half. Three dropped passes one of them was a touchdown in the first half, ugh!

back shoulder fades are normally short.

Yes but I meant about a ft short of were it need ro be placed. AJ had to completely extend his arms which gave defender ability to get in between him and the ball.
Atleast that's what I thought I saw in one of the replays

Impressed again with some of the things that the Bears have shown in the first half, shame they can't put them all together at the same time!

Let's ignore the blitzing they did and just say it is prevent because it didn't work. SMH

They did when they got past the 50, but up until then, they were content on playing off the receivers 10 yards

Yeah a safety that has basically never played was late getting over to help Jennings for an easy score. To be honest I am surprised we hadn't seen that happen earlier.

Jennings has to jam him, slow him up. no way can any safety make it over there in that amount of time

Thought besides the touchdown, the D has done well, need more pressure up the middle, collapse that pocket more!

Walter was late but Jennings did seem way too lax on that play.

Agree that blame is there to go around on that play, but it was the first time we really saw the safety position exposed which is shocking to me.

If we do get a new HC, I hope they retain Marinelli

I would have to check the tape to verify this as forgive me if I tend not to believe fans that think if it's cloudy outside, it's because of Lovie.

But let us assume you are correct. That still doesn't change the fact it was not prevent. The clear implication from all the fans crying is oh no we played prevent the whole way down the field and they scored. We didn't. We mixed up coverages and the players simpy didn't execute. Sometimes the players do fail you know.
