The Chicago Bears have no pass defense whatsoever. None. Zilch. Nada. In yesterday's lose to the Tennessee Titans, the Bears were rolled over by Kerry Collins and his band of no name receivers. Justin Gage, Bo Scaife, Brandon Jones, Lavelle Hawkins. Bo Scaife looked like the second coming of Kellen Winslow (former San Diego TE, not the current Browns headcase). It was obvious that the Bears were committed to stopping the run and daring Collins to make something happen with his arm. And did Collins ever make the Bears pay for it. The Bears gave up 289 passing yards and 2 touchdowns to a guy that hadn't thrown for more than 199 yards in a game this season. Collins hadn't thrown for a touchdown in 3 games. Unbelievable.
What makes it even more frustrating is that the defensive coordinator, Bob Babich, never appeared to make any adjustments during the second half to deal with the aerial bombardment that was occurring. After seeing completion after completion, at what point does the coordinator think to himself that maybe his plan isn't working and something else should be tried? Here’s some free advice for you Bob; next time try scrapping the Cover-2 defense. It hasn't worked all year.
The defense wasn't the only reason the Bears lost, but they definitely did their fair share of stinking up the joint yesterday.
