We overlooked them. Plain and simple.

Re: Why Can't We Tackle??
I think preseason is a no-win situation for any NFL team with their fans.
If the 1st string defense looks good, oh-well it was against an opponent playing "vanilla" style offense. If the 1st string defense looks bad, everyone should panic because it's a good indicator of what's to come - ie. getting steamrolled. If the offense plays great, then that's because they payed a defense calling "vanilla" formations and practicing fundamentals. If the offense plays poorly, then uh-oh, time to panic. |

If the 85 BEARS(a team that REVOLVED around defense) can lose a game then it's not that surprising that our team(which is not known for its defense) messed up in ONE GAME too. It should also be pointed out that besides Walter Payton, the 85 bears didn't have much on offense. WE DO! We don't need to be the 85 bears. We're already on our way to being "The greatest show in a dome". |

Re: Why Can't We Tackle??
Nonetheless, they still lost, And they went on to lose more games the next few years. If the 85 bears of all people know what's it's like to taste defeat then we shouldn't be surprised that our "work in progress" defense suffered too. Come on! We expect a team that was one of the worst defenses last year to suddenly become the 85 bears in no time at all?
Plus like I said, it's preseason. The 2008 lions were perfect in the preseason, right before they went 0-16. |

Re: Why Can't We Tackle??
Personally I feel the steelers of the 70s were a better defense but come on!
A team that goes 15-1 and has a blowout almost EVERY single game is not overrated. Though I do think bears fans need to shut up about it at this point. You don't see dolphins fans talking about there ACTUAL perfect season that much. |
