I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that they were told not to stretch out for extra yardage or fight for first downs because of how adept this Bears team is of punching the ball out and causing turnovers... no turnovers by us is what won the day!!!

Re: No Running Game
Coach Payton and the trainer need to have a meeting of the minds about the sneakers the players will use on grass after the Chicago game...
We had several third and shorts because our players were having some traction issues... |

Brees was throwing to Jimmy believing Jimmy could drag the pile a yard... he didn't. What lecture is Jimmy getting today? Know where the damned first down is and dont turn around to catch it unless you are on top of it or past it. We could have Adrien Peterson running for us gaining 7 YPC... If we are throwing to Jimmy Graham on 3rd down and he is a yard inside of the 1st down, catching and going down you end up with 4th -1 all day... Those has zero to do with our running game. |

Re: No Running Game
Amazing, we average 2.36 yards rushing and still I'm hearing how much better the run game is without Ingram.
