I’m not a fanatic like some when it comes to so called professional sports. My life doesn’t revolve around a 16 week schedule and my emotions are not overly controlled by the W/L column.
I do like watching exciting games and seeing athletes perform at a peak level. Generally, if a game turns to a blow out, I move on for something else. But anyways, I heard a couple guys talking about last nights blow out of the Bears/Steelers.
The only thing I can compare the “Blow-Out” to was the Bears desire to put the game away. Since the days of Ditka has past, it seems like the moment the Bears get ahead, they change into a super-ultra-conservative play calls. In the NFL, if you don’t stay agreesive and playing to the peak of your talent, YOU WILL GET BEAT!
I had higher hopes of Marc Trestman to implement a higher intensity of offensive play for the Bears. I appreciate the fact that he has worked with Cutler for dumping the ball much faster and the O-line which both have contributed to a HUGE reduction of sacks.
You knew the Steelers will get their crap together and start playing ball as a team. They shown great strides in that last night. But clearly, the Bears shown that any good QB will be able to pick them apart. I hope they get the A-game together before they start talking play-offs
