It’s just like the Bears to win a useless game against the Broncos to fuel delusional playoff hopes while ruining legitimate draft position that Jerry Angelo could trade out of because he’s afraid to make a big pick.
Charles in charge: For a guy who doesn’t think much of sacks, Greg Blache sure corner-blitzed like he does. And Charles Tillman’s sack of Jake Plummer keyed a big stop for one of the few times that Blache’s defense has shut down a team after a score in the fourth quarter.
Question is: What does that tell you about how bad Plummer is?
The deal: Kordell Stewart accounted for as many points in the second half as Plummer did all game.
Gray matter: Bobby Gray sacked Plummer on third-and-6 near midfield. Which means Blache has guys who can get sacks, it’s just not the guys closest to the quarterback. That is so Blache.
Oomph: Gray hits like the old Bears used to, and I’m thinking, he’ll probably lose his job soon.
Daring: The Bears’ longest play was pass interference. But hey, at least they threw a downfield pass worth interfering with.
Ka-Boom: Brian Urlacher got pancaked–just pancaked–on Clinton Portis’ 49-yard run. He gets blocked, he stays blocked.
But wait: Urlacher laid a hit on Portis that popped him 3 yards back. Like it was a video game. Of course, Urlacher left the field after that play, just in case you wondered how much worse his season could get when he finally makes an impact hit.
