Horrible Special Teams game.

 

Deferring to the 2nd half to open game

2 good KR by Bears

1 good PR by Bears 

63-yard punt by the Bears to the 2 yard line that Hines refused to catch at the 20 burning us for the 3rd time in 5 games killing the next drive

Missed XP by Bass

Missed chip FG by Bass 

 

Awful awful awful!

Good thing we pay all these guys for special teams!

I’d like to see dump offs to Cook every other okay until the Bears are forced to adjust.

Josh holds the ball too damn long.  We don't want to hear it, but Kurt Warner is right.  Way too often Josh just drops back and stands there flat-footed, not even on platform to throw the ball.  His fundamentals have regressed over the course of the season.

If it wasn't for some rancid Bass and a poor red zone pass we'd be winning the game.

daboll transformed his passing game. he seems to be slipping back a little bit in that regard.

Overall the team underwhelmed but for the second week in the row our special teams as really let us down.

 

Gave up great field possession on every Bears drive, Bass (who is usually so good) has missed 4 points, and Hines and punt coverage letting another punt get downed on us within the 5….feels like that has happened a lot this year. We gotta get special teams specialized so we are not always at a disadvantage, that’s how inferior teams like the Bears and Dolphins stick around in these games.

Why do we not have easy plays?  Mahomes throws pass to line of scrimmage and reaceiver runs like 10 yards for a Td while dragging a player two yards. 

 

Because Dorsey. It's literally that.

This is versus a 3-11 team missing a ton of starters 

 

yeah, none of our usual excuses apply this week.  Crappy coaching and crappy execution.

Worst half of football by Josh Allen this year?

 

[KOKBILLS]

I think if the Bills had come in with a conservative game plan on Offense they would be up 2 TDs right now...

 

I get the Bills have a great passing Offense and a great QB...But it seemed like they were trying to make a point that they can run their normal Offense in any weather in that 1st half. Meanwhile Cook goes for 3 carries and 1 reception for 55 yards...Almost 14 yards a touch...But lets drop back and pass more...

And crappy Quarterbacking.

Bengals destroying the Pats, KC doing the same to the Seahawks, Bills losing to the pathetic Bears. 😂😂😂

How does Diggs not have one target

[DrBob806]

Newsflash....it's today's NFL. Lots of close games

Back to Jordan Palmer this off-season!

Would like to see more runs in the red zone till Chicago can prove they can stop them.

 

 

 

Sure but Allen had Cook and Knox both open for good gains on 1st down and missed them. 2nd down Davis couldn't get his 2nd foot down. 3rd down Davis got lazy and cost us a free 1st down at the goal line. It's not like the passing concepts aren't working. I'm usually in these threads saying to run the ball more but the Bears pass defense is awful.

[GunnerBill]

When Josh plays poorly we just don't have enough to go to.

[RyanC883]

Diggd has zero targets.  Awful coaching.   Davis just stood there instead if drawing an int.
