Matt Eberflus names Eddie Jackson as honorary captain vs. Texans | Chicago Bears

Agreed, but at the same time, Bears fans have been getting beat by Green Bay very consistently for years. We had more missed tackles in the clear field than we did in a monsoon game.

That’s a problem, the coaches don’t need to tell people how to tackle the ball carrier when you’re in the NFL. You’ve been playing football consistently for more than 10 years, they should know how to do this by now.

We can’t dwell on it, just gotta move on and get past it.

@B Bibbles it is frustrating, man. No doubt about it. Year in and out, our worst performances are always against the Packers. Regardless of how good they are themselves. I’d love for us to turn the tides before Rodgers retires, but we’re still (realistically) a couple years away. Hopefully we will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel soon.

@Connor Muckerman That first drive Sunday night was beautiful. The biggest difference to me that stands out about the Bears that other teams do differently is how the ball drives down the field. When it comes to watching a Bears game versus watching, say, a Bills game is just how much differently the two teams play. When I watch the Bears play, I’m holding my breath just waiting for some big play to take the ball away, or just expecting a 3 and out.

As for the Bills or other teams, they’re pretty much Guaranteed to get at least one or two first downs that help so much versus Bears, when I’m surprised to see us even in FG range. It’s night and day difference.

@B Bibbles it’s not about missed tackles. It’s about are you committed to stopping the run or not. The cover two defense the bears run focuses on getting to the qb, not stopping the run. If you really want to stop the run then at least for one week instead of playing in a 4-3 defense , run a 4-4 defense and also bring the strong safty down to be a fifth linebacker. With five linebackers playing in the box , you’ll definitely be able to stop the run.
