Brutally honest assessment

Unless the offense steps up their game, we're done.  Today we saw what happens when the offense can't stay on the field: our defense (which is fast and filled with good tacklers) gets tired and isn't as effective.  A team with a good defense will be able to score vs. our defense (when it gets tired).

Case has not been impressive the last few weeks.  But it's too late to make a change.  So either Shurmur has to step it up and design some more effective plays... or Case has to execute better.

13-3.  

Seems like nonsense to me.  The Eagles have lost two games going in.  

We get a few weeks off.  Hopefully our offensive line heals.

i agree.  part of it today was the line not giving him much time—with Elfline back and everone playing their old positions (well, except for Sirles of course) maybe that improves.

Division games are always tough. I know it was ugly but not concerned just yet. It's still a win.

You don't think 12 penalties had anything to do with that do you?
Penalties have hurt us all year.
I think the offense had 9 penalties.

The  bears  also  have a fine top 10  defense that came to  play today

its a combo of bad oline play and shaky QB play. He hasnt looked on a premier level since the Atlanta game. 

enjoy the 13 games we won this year, it is most likely one and done. but the future is bright. 

This team is a QB away from being truly dominant. Should be a destination for any free agent QB

People tend to look at their own team and diss on things that aren't going perfectly but overlook how other teams in other games are doing.  There have been some issues with every team.  There are teams that match up better against others.  Injuries - minor and major.  Tough divisional or familiar opponent games.  Of course it's natural to worry about things but to claim they're done because of this or that over a couple games is overly pessimistic.  They have two weeks now to heal up and prepare.  There are a lot of dinged up players right now.  Four NFC teams won't have that opportunity, including whichever one comes to USB.

I agree with this post. We as fans need to trust. That they just need to heal.
