Jaguars Fan Kicks Bears Fan In Head Repeatedly After Game
Jeffery caught six balls for 90 yards in the first half, but Ramsey made adjustments after the half, limiting Jeffery to just one catch for three yards.
Barth’s first kick, a 36-yarder near the start of the second quarter, came after the Bears turned first-and-10 into third-and-17 from the 32.
Against the Jaguars, the Bears raced to a 13-0 lead, but missed a couple of chances of scoring touchdowns instead of field goals.
“It’s not a lack of heart, lack of trying”, coach John Fox said. We have to execute and make the plays that we need to.
The Jaguars may have stacked against the run (the Bears averaged just 2.4 yards per carry in the first half). During the fourth quarter, the Bears allowed three Jacksonville scoring drives in a 12-minute span, unraveling all of the positives from earlier in the game. In a rare showdown at Soldier field, the two teams will look to rise from the class of the bottom-dweller teams in the NFL.
ROUGH START: Bortles came on strong down the stretch after a rough first half.
“It’s definitely getting frustrating when you get down to the red zone and we’re not able to get in there”, he said. “They are a disciplined team and they stay at the sticks”. “You have to catch that”.
“You know how this game is – you see insane things every day”, Benn said. “I asked them”, said Ramsey.
Which is solid thinking and execution, with Hoyer running his pass total without an interception this season to 189. It was a gutless display by the Bears coaching staff and reflects poorly on the quarterback and entire offense that they aren’t trusted enough to run thier normal offense without turning it over. It certainly hasn’t been normal for this Jaguars regime, as the 10-0 lead the Bears held felt more like 100-0 for most of the game. They are making it as tough as they can on you. But it’s an area we’ve got to get better at. A defense like theirs, it’s tough – they aren’t going to give it up. “But we just keep playing”. They are the worst defense in the entire NFL and a awful football team.
“This is a violent sport we play, a physical sport”, Young said.
I’ll have more to say about Brian Hoyer later, but for now, let’s focus on the offense as a whole. The Bears had first and goal. He finished that season with 91 catches for 980 yards, but beyond that his high for receptions is just 62. Still, he picked himself up in the fourth quarter and somehow guided his team to victory.
With his 15th 400-yard game, Brees broke a tie with Peyton Manning for the most in the regular season.
Six weeks into the Bears’ 2016 campaign has taught fans one thing: This Bears team is headed nowhere fast. WR Eddie Royal had five catches for 54 yards but left the game in the fourth quarter with a toe injury. I get that Howard struggled to get much going on the ground, hence the nine carries for Ka’Deem Carey, but 26 rushes versus 49 pass attempts when they were winning virtually all day is unconscionable. But if it’s Hoyer, then for goodness sake, poke the Bear in him and see if he can show more fire. The run game faced stacked fronts with a safety in the box.
Hoyer has performed much better than anyone would have thought in his four starts this season, but when a team can not score points with him under center his performances deserve to be picked apart.
Second down, Jaguar linebacker Paul Posluszny made an open field tackle on the tight end screen.
The Bears entered the final fifteen minutes of the contest with a 13-0 lead.
