Here are some of my quick postgame thoughts:
-Ok the points weren't there, but we did move the ball well. Overall I think the offense looked promising.
-Cooley had some nice catches, but needed to take his route a little deeper on that one where he got stopped at the 1.
-Moss is a playmaker, anybody miss Coles now? Who by the way has looked bad against the Chiefs dropping a few.
-What else can you say about the offensive line? They did a great job in pass protection and consistently opened holes in the running game.
-Outside of the overthrow on the INT by Ramsey, I thought he was playing pretty decent. Brunell also played well, I don't understand why people are bitching already on Brunell. Ramsey should remain the starter as long as he's healthy.
-Nothing has changed defensively, they're still rock solid against the run and fly to the ball. I would have liked to have seen more pressure and hits on Orton, but you've gotta give the Bears some credit here, they have a pretty good offensive line.
-Overall I think a lot of us, myself included, really underestimated the Bears. Orton does play with a lot of poise for a rook, they have a very good defense and a quality running game (even though we took that away pretty well). If Brown doesn't cough up the return and give the Bears that short field I think we're looking at a 9-0 win.
-A win is a win. The offense didn't put up the points we would have liked to have seen, but they did move the ball well and that's something we should really be excited about. Things are still coming together but we're miles ahead of where we were last year. The points will come.
