Halftime

Chicago 3, San Francisco 7

Chicago outplayed the 9ers for most of the half, but San Fran took advantage of their mistakes, unlike the Bears.

Chicago had several major blunders:

  1. Cutler's first INT was ridiculous and inexcusable. He tried to force a pass to Olsen who was triple-covered. It landed right in the arms of a defensive lineman.
  2. Blame for the second INT rests solely on Hesters shoulders. Had he not fallen, it would have been a safe pass. He already has a holding penalty in the game.
  3. The coaching staff almost costed the Bears a field goal when they failed to call a timeout to avoid the delay of game penalty. Inexcusable
Other Notes

  • Forte has run the ball 13 times for 37 yards. Beekman has made notable blocks on several plays.
  • Chicago has failed to take advantage of Clemens' absence.
  • Screen passes have been very succesful. Forte has 5 catches for 57 yards, leading the team.
  • Olsen has been a presence, though almost all of his catches came on one drive.
  • The defense gave up after Cutler's 2nd INT. No one watching doubted the 9ers would get in the endzone after that play. Hopefully that doesn't continue.
