50. Seattle's offensive line struggled against a still good Bears defensive line.
49. No one struggled more than Ray Willis.
48. Willis spent much of the quarter crouching, watching his man chase Seneca Wallace.
47. Robert Mathis says "hello".
46. Seattle's two-minute drill to end the half was miserably executed.
45. It's a testament to how self-defeating the two-minute defense is that Olindo Mare got a shot.
44. Greg Knapp spaces his running back at half, full and right of center.
43. Seattle's situational pass rush line is very effective.
42. Aaron Curry blew two tackles in two plays.
41. As best as I could tell, Seneca Wallace was not using hot routes.
40. The Bears relied heavily on the blitz to protect their secondary.
39. Their secondary sucks.
38. Deion Branch was playing the Deon Butler role.
37. That role: Run deep and never get targeted.
36. Kelly Jennings hesitated to tackle Earl Bennett on a wide receiver screen.
35. That hesitation allowed Chris Williams to pull out and block Jennings.
34. The reception went for 23 yards.
33. Deon Grant fell midway through a Greg Olsen route and left him wide open, but Jordan Babineaux stopped him at the reception point with a solid open field tackle.
32. Brandon Mebane was doubled off the line but Colin Cole held his ground and tackled Matt Forte after one yard on second and two.
31. Will Herring looped around two lead blockers to get a glancing blow low on Forte.
30. It worked and Seattle's backup backers dropped Forte for a loss of two.
29. Staying uncharacteristic, Herring blew coverage on the next play.
28. He dropped and that allowed Forte to come free underneath.
27. Gang tackling forced a drive-ending fumble.
26. !
25. Cory Redding dropped into cover on a sublimely hidden strong safety blitz by Deon Grant.
24. Grant wrapped around end untouched and hit Jay Cutler as he was throwing.
23. The ball floated into the hands of the big man and Redding took a knee in the end zone to give Seattle the ball at the twenty.
22. The officials reviewed Redding's cover and ruled he actually fell attempting to jam Olsen...
21. that Olsen caught an easy touchdown pass...
20. and that Ichiro is an illegal and should be promptly deported.
19. Wallace started the two-minute drill by throwing into double cover.
18. That double cover disintegrated when two Bears smashed into each other, hurting one.
17. A stupid decision turned wonderful--T.J. Houshmandzadeh streaking uncovered with one man to beat--is undone by an overthrow...
16. Proving two mistakes beat one.
15. Dick Stockton credited Lance Briggs with the pressure.
14. The Bears rushed three, none of whom was Briggs.
13. Wallace was not under pressure.
12. John Carlson dropped a pass.
11. Chris Spencer blew a block on a sloppy screen pass attempt.
10. King creative set his tight ends wide in a four wide receiver-tight formation.
9. The wide receivers were aligned like tight ends.
8. The tight ends were supposed to block in and then run laterally into the flats.
7. Neither tight end managed to block anyone.
6. Wallace didn't look towards either in the flat.
5. The pass was tipped by Anthony Adams and fell incomplete.
4. Seattle blitzed four times.
3. Owen Schmitt dropped a pass.
2. Dick Stockton thought it was John Carlson.
1. Upon further review, all white people look alike.

Can't wait until Dick Stockton tells us Julius Jones plays for the Colts like he did for the Bears
I kept watching the highlights footage and saw someone stumble trying to jam Olsen but I thought it was Curry. Upon further review it’s a DE somehow dropping into coverage to cover a great tight end.
One of these days a QB for the Seahawks will consistently have a decent deep ball.
The QB class of 2010 looks deep next season.

King creative is this Greg Knapp?
Greg Knapp and Felix Hernandez…the Kings of Seattle!

Yes.
And boy did he get creative to start the second half.

Good creative or Clancy Pendergast mad scientist creative?

Owen Schmitt would say the latter.
Knapp would say Schmitt needs to get his head out of his ass.

I'm interested to hear what Holmgren though of the play calls.

IIRC, they threw him a couple of screens

It's funny, because this totally validates the difference between...
catching balls in training camp practices and catching them in real games. Both TE Owens and Schmitt caught much of everything in practice…now? Drop, drop after hands-of-stone drop. And to think I was almost fooled into thinking Owens could be a decent 2nd TE catching it to go along w/ his primary blocking role. If he had no more targets the remainder of this year, I’m not sure I’d complain.
Early prospect watch: RB C.J. Spiller, QB Jevan Snead, OT Ciron Black, DT Gerald McCoy, S Eric Berry, DT Ndamukong Suh, CB Ras-I Dowling 6'2, 200, RB Jonathan Dwyer

I owe Curry an apology, I think I credited Reddings pass coverage as Curry pass coverage on the Olson TD
Herring launching himself through two lead blockers bouncing the second one into Forte and just generally fucking everything up was one of my favorite plays of the game.

I hope they make less mistakes this week
There is no room for error in Indy. Seneca will have to have the game of a lifetime for us to have a chance to win.

Then last three made me laugh.
Thanks. Laughing me makes me feel better than losing.

After watching the replay today..
I did see Schmitty running to space in front of Wallace, while still being aware enough to catch the ball for a nice gain. This also made me feel good. The receivers really need to pay attention to what Wallaces feet are doing to be effective with him under center.

I heard the NFL
Apologized for the 2 bad calls. It’s only right they let us replay the game.
And the Superbowl.

Link?
Which 2 bad calls? The fumble on the goalline? I can’t remember another one horrible enough that the NFL would apologize.

Scratch that...
I see the fanpost now and all the discussion.

Aren't one-liners usually capable of standing alone?
But funny stuff.
