Saints rushing defense is unreal (1 Viewer)

All week leading up to the game we heard that the Bears defense was good and maybe the best defense in the NFL.

I think we saw one of the best defenses in the NFL yesterday and it wasn't the Bears defense!!

It's amazing how the D-line makes everyone better! They're a complete unit that's deep.

Our run D is great, but it was also kind of bizarre of Matt Nagy to go so pass heavy with a QB like Trubisky. I mean, in the 4th quarter when we'd opened up a multi-score lead, it was understandable, but Nagy really seemed like he planned to lean on Trubisky (an iffy QB when he's healthy, and he was just coming back from a shoulder injury).

He was scared because he knew what he was up against. There are legit reasons he didn't run the ball. Largly because he never converted a 3rd down to possess the ball, but also because they knew that no one has had success running the ball against us, and those opponents had better running games. It also didn't help that his defense couldn't get off the field. But mostly because he was scared.

I almost feel sorry for Matt Ryan... almost. This Dline is going to wreck that offense.

I'm worried about what happened after those 80 yards passing + anything can happen if you give the opponent the chance. This team is a playoff team, even before the season started this season. Not closing out games & having metal lapses will lose a playoff games (like it did last year).

What's the point in completely destroying the Bears confidence? I want them to feel like they can beat a good team since they have to play the Packers & the Vikings again. I want them to beat the Packers. So why get worked up about letting them have a few crumbs from the table. they knew who the better team was buy the end of the 3rd quarter.

I'm a little disappointed that we allowed that 10-yard rusher.

Hey, he was the best player on their team. But to make fun of his height was a little over the top. get it? A little over the top?

Or whatever sap they trot out as Ryan's backup.

The Saints D is in high gear right now but I didn't hear Davenport's name being called much yesterday. That's my only concern. How consistent is his level of play when he's on the field

^Yeah but who plays opposite of him?

He also drew a holding call iirc

Yeah I like how everyone said "The Saints won't be able to run" and our O-line TOOK OVER. Loved the last Murray TD when Armstead, McCoy and Ram walked into the end zone and flexed. On the other side of the ball, it was the Bears who couldn't run. You're not gonna win if Mitch has to fling it 50 times.

FYI Cam, Davis and some other defensive starters were out on those last two drives. I think Davenport was out on the second-to-last drive and they put him back in. Obviously wish Apple had been out too. That one is on Thomas.
