So bad, where to even start? (6-5)

What a crap game.

We got owned!

I'm still pissed off and disappointed but I wanted to post a few thoughts while they were fresh.

Top five WTF! thoughts today

1. How can Jared Allen (et all) be so ineffective vs back ups?
2. How can we be so flat after a long break? (first Seattle now the Bears)
3. Carlson gets paid more then Percy Harvin and has 5 catches. Prolly as many drops
4. AP doe HIS job yet we still can't throw because...
5. Will our WRs ever be able to get open in single man coverage? How many drops today?

OK, so how do we fix this?  I don't think we can.  We need to make personnel moves for sure though and I am basing this off the last season and this one.  We have no legit WRs.  Week in and week out I see guys I have never heard make plays against us but we can't seem to make the simplest of plays. We had maybe one drive today that had a balanced attack and some slants, hitches etc.

In our FOUR losses vs TB, SEATTLE, CHI and WASH we gave up 132 points. (not counting close game in INDY) That isn't Ponder's fault. Or anyone else on offense. That's an avg of over 30 points. we simply DO NOT have the firepower to score that many on offense.  We never score on defense and returns don't happen that often.

I don't like FRAZIER and I never did but I wanted to give him a chance.  His assistants have proven to be too inexperienced and he himself reminds me of a substitute teacher. The guy has a real knack for spouting cliches and we all love his smile but he looks more bewildered the more down we are in a game.  His press conferences are that of someone in denial.  He is TOO NICE.

Frazier's infamous deer in head lights look. I prefer Chilly w/the clipboard

What the hell is up with our defense?

Look at these sad sad stats.

Time of possession CHI 38' MN 22'

First downs CHI 23, 13 from passing

3rd/4th down conversions CHI 12-20

We didn't give ONE play up over 20 yards but got nickled and dimed to death! 
Tampa, Wash, Seattle all did it to us too! More then a week to prep, 4 days to prep, night game, day, home, away doesn't matter!

HESTER didn't play

FORTE got hurt

THEIR LINEMAN got hurt

We STILL sucked.  This game was never even close in the 2nd half.

Really? A punter had more points then AP? SMH

They threw to Marshall at will the guy had 12 catches. He barely averaged more yards per catch then AP did running. (8 vs 6)

Why not just run the ball very play? In those horribly boring drives the bears would run or pass every down for like 3.5 yards then get a first on 3rd and 3. 

How can we be so good at giving AP holes and yet suck at giving Ponder time and or creating any kind of play action? I think our coaches are awful.  I really do.

We have lost three games by the same exact poison.  Turnovers, an inability to get off the damn field on 3rd down, and an inability to get open and make plays passing.  It's ultimately the coaches fault they signed off on these guys before the season started. We have an awful crop of WRs.

I am embarrassed but not surprised you'd hope the coaching staff would introduce new wrinkles or make in game adjustments but they've proven o er and over again they just aren't good enough to.

I know Ponder didn't have a good game but I'm not ready to throw him under the bus.  The kid needs help.  Are we still paying CHILDRESS?  Member where we played the day before he got fired?

YUP

Chin up, AP. You did what you could.
