Week 4 In-Game Blog

Cedric Benson and Devin Hester both fumbled again??? Lucky for us they went out of bounds.

Griese looks decisive in his progressions, but Bernard Berrian is not doing B Griese any favors with two major dropped passes, both would have been for first downs.

Defense defense defense... So far, B McGowan is stepping up and it's a real good thing that T Harris decided to play today because he real good.

Garret Wolfe just got in the game, I have to think it has to do with C Benson coughing up the ball again... We'll see how many more times we will see Benson after this...

2Q ~ 7:00Min - Berrian has just caught two big passes this drive and he needs to keep that up through the rest of the game.

2Q ~ 5:18min - Another thing... the Bears are running a lot of shotgun today and Kreutz seems to be firing the ball back to the QB with authority.

With Wolfe in and carrying for the third time this drive, it seems to me that C Benson might not see the field again this half.

2Q 4:16 - Muhammad just caught a beautiful TD pass from Griese. He was given a perfect pocket to throw from and Griese just made a perfect pass.

2Q 4:11 - B Ayanbadejo is real good on coverage teams, which reminds me... Isn't Obefemi Ayanbadejo set to come back next week? I wornder if they will activate both fullbacks against GB...

2Q 2:15 - It seems that the Bears' defense is playing well today despite having most of the side of the ball being inactive.

2Q 2:00 - So, the first half grade on Griese is better than what I would have given any half to Grossman during the first three games... and if you know me, you know how much it pains me to admit that...

3Q - Too many ticky-tack penalties today, what's with the two offsides penalties on Alex Brown? Awful calls, they never call that penalty. Griese seems to have a pretty good rythym going with the offense and the defense seems to be holding strong.

4Q - just gave up a TD to Detroit... I was thinking that the challenge flag happy Martz has continued his ways with Detroit today.

4Q 12:08 - No one ever calls a neutral zone infraction penalty - ever. The Bears have been flagged 3 frigging times for it today. Ticky-tack... Way too many penalties, Lovie will not be happy with them this week in practice regardless of the outcome.

4Q :58 - If you are going to send up a jump ball in teh endzone you throw it to Moose Muhammed, not Berrian, hence why they had to kick the FG.

Final - Well, in the end, it came down to blocking and tackling. Specifically the vauted Offensive line was not blocking and the injury-riddled defense did not tackle well. Hard to hold your head up going into Green Bay with a 1-3 record .
