Bright spots..??? Yeah, a few. Nothing of a large enough consequence to impact the game though...
One of the 'worst' things I noticed was the "no-huddle" Offense the Bears ran. It was almost continuous... It was as if they were picking on Trevin Wallace because it was his first time running the "D". Wallace did OK... not tremendous, not brilliant, not great..... but OK. The Bears knew he was a "rook" out there and dared him to get the play calls and alignments right before the snap. They pushed him hard with the "no-huddle". He survived it and it will be a learning experience for him.
He will be better for the experience. I guess Dan was right when he said this would take a while.
Looks like the Panthers will have a very high draft pick (again). Just hope Tepper will stay out of the way.
From what I've read Cananles needs the experience too. Sounds like we were running the ball and then quit. ????
