I think it is all about the game plan. Last night was the first time the D came out aggressive at the start. Before last night it seems like they come out to see what the other team is doing before they decide how to play. Defense should always try to set the tempo.I needed this this to have some faith restored. The defense was great. The Bears have a weak offense. Only allowing 3 points is impressive. Four teams they played, including Tampa Bay, gave up 20+ to the Bears offense. Only the Giants (17) and Colts (11) held them under that, and we discovered the Giants defense is no joke.
But damn, how does the defense admittedly play soft against the Niners? Did they forget that it was a division rivalry?
As someone who is extremely competitive, I'm baffled by this. We could have used this great defense last week too.
I really think the team was tired from traveling so much. I’m glad we got that out of the way early but if you’ve ever flown coast to coast, that jet lag is real. Your body clock is off and it’s just tough to really get back on a schedule.I needed this this to have some faith restored. The defense was great. The Bears have a weak offense.

Going to Philly, coming back to LA, going to Buffalo, back to LA, to Washington, back to Cali. That’s a ton of traveling in just 6 weeks.IDK, we have to realize these guys are younger and flying on a private jet, which makes a ton of difference then flying commercial. However, in fairness, the Rams have traveled quite a bit, but the 49ers flew to New England and they were just fine.
Prepare to be disappointed.....Something that you need, when you're extremely dirty....Forbath!

Was good to see the D play with that much intensity. I think their chemistry is starting to gel together.
Burgess done for the year?
My memory tells me he wasn’t consistent with the Vikings.Looked good for Dallas last year, 11/11 so let's see what he has.
I don't think anyone has a real problem with Brown just with how he is used sometimes.Bears got consistent pressure pass rushing but Goff was decisive, didn’t hold the ball and got rid of it quickly.
It will be nice we can take a break from the endless Malcolm Brown bashing on the board for a week given his 5.7 YPC average.
One trip doesn't come close to what the Rams did before the Niner game with three straight home games. Plus yes they did play the Giants and Jets before those 3 but were able to stay there since it was 2 east coast games in the same stadium. Plus the Pats game was still a 1pm PST game something we didn't get to do on the east coast.IDK, we have to realize these guys are younger and flying on a private jet, which makes a ton of difference then flying commercial.
