The Sky Is Falling

No, the rushing D did not cost us the game. The turnovers are what killed us. But to me, the rushing D was not good.

No, it wasn't good. However, we did not have Pickett either...who is our best run stuffer. We still held the Bears to just over 3 yards per carry. That should be good enough...if you don't give up numerous key 3rd down convertions to the Bear offense, usually through the air.

I'm just pointing out that anyone claiming that our run defense is some kind of major concern is out of their mind. That is one of the least of our worries IMO. When healthy, our starting front seven on defense will do just fine against the run.

I still think it is a concern but I guess this is the point where we can agree to disagree and move forward.

The pass D did make Orton look like an Pro-Bowler, didn't they. You have to give the Bears credit there. Short, quick routes and some very successful screens.
