Bears came one inexperienced QB away from a loss tonight...they're going to need to step their game up on defense big time.
The Bears biggest problem right now is that they need healthy bodies. Their secondary is already in shambles and we’re only 3 weeks into the season. Tillman is out for the season. Conte, Mundy, Jennings are banged up to the point of not being able to play. Dixon, Vereen and Fuller are rookies with NO NFL experience. Only Fuller looks like he knows what he’s doing out there.
McClellin, McManis, Slauson, Ratliff and Wilson have missed games. Wilson is out for the season. The offense is also hurting. Garza has missed a couple of games, Marshall and Jeffries are playing hurt. The Bears currently have 14 or 15 players on their injury list.
True, a QB with any red zone efficiency would have smoked them tonight. The fact that they were playing the grossly inept Jets and Geno Smith was their saving grace tonight.
