Gameday thread Cardinals at Bears 9-20-15

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Bettcher bottom dollar the D is sucking.

 

[NMCard]

Ran a bunch of clock while leaning on the defense.

 

[blindseyed]

That was pathetic

 

[Chopper0080]

Bettcher seems to be calling a safe, and reactive game. Not seeing a bunch of blitzes, and while I get that this is the second week vs a solid screen team, it is weird.

 

[PJ1]

Gunter got destroyed on the goal line. Really missing Dan Williams in the middle.

This guy is not ready. Not getting the hype at all.

 

[az jam]

Defense looks terrible. Have not seen it look this bad in several years.

 

[Stout]

New to the thread, can't watch the game. WTF is wrong with our defense???

 

[blindseyed]

D looks lost

 

[Jetstream Green]

Campbell at this moment better turn on beast mode because this DL is very meh and I hate say it but not a playoff caliber front

 

[Mainstreet]

I didn't like the defensive line in preseason. My opinion hasn't changed.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

We have many opportunities to build on our lead and yet we allow them to walk down the field

Everything.

I'll be honest... I don't know how this D is going to be good this year. They gave up a TON of yards to the Saints last year (who sucked last year and don't look good again) and the Bears are making them look silly.

there's no pressure on the QB, it doesn't appear Bettcher can scheme anywhere close to what Bowles did and our LBers are somehow WORSE then last year. Maybe Bettcher figures something out, but his lack of experience/talent is pretty worrisome early in the season.

for the first time in Arians' tenure, the season is going to be on the offense.

It's been offensive

Just reminds me of when Horton first got here. That D was concerning the first 5 games or so. I just hope this D turns it around, it's obviously not going to happen in a game or two.

Yeah I don't get why they are not taking it slow with him like they are doing with the 1st round offensive tackle.

everything right now.

Just about everything. They look lost and Bettcher is not making adjustments.

Cutler running wild and with no pressure he has found his groove

 

[Darkside]

Our D is the petite Randy Moss.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Our D is making the Bears look like world beaters. Time for the offense to carry this game today.

Which is a bad omen, since our offense isn't built to carry the team; it's a traditional don't give the game away offense to go with a stout defense

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

That a it, this is now called "The Bottom Dollar Defense."

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

Betcher needs to dial up some blitzes. I thought he said that he would run the defense similar to Bowles? You can't cover all day with no pass rush.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

DJ for short yards

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Losing Dumpster Dan was a big hit, IMO.
