Lots of coverage sacks to start the game. We definitely miss having Thielen and for that matter Irv Smith out there to take some attention away from Jefferson. Osborn is a nice 3rd receiver, but does not demand attention from the D.

Already rumors coming out that Zimmer clashed with offensive coaches his whole tenure in Minnesota.

Do we even have to consider them rumors?  How many OC's did he go through?  Must get old hearing "why can't we just run the ball more?!"

All I want from this game is JJ to get the single season record, and Harry to get on last pick.  Don't think I'm gonna see either.

Two of them did leave to become head coaches elsewhere, but yes, the insistence on constantly running is frustrating. This year has been particularly bad with the run, run, pass calls in the red zone.

Wonnum is starting to rack up the sacks. Wonder if he could start opposite of Hunter next year?

Early series Bradbury blocking literally no one. I was interested to hear the crowd. At least there is special teams I guess

Needs to seal the run much better to start. Maybe situational guy.

Offense completely inept.  

No Akiem Hicks for Chicago and yet some no name Blackson is destroying our line.

Cousins doing his thing, almost like he tries to run INTO pressure.

Another backup QB shredding our ass. 

But when we have to play our own backup QB, we can't even get 1st downs.

You know things are really getting bad when you're on the verge of getting shutout in the first half by the Bears...

I had assumed this could have happened, especially when Norv Turner quit mid-season.

Do you have any links or sources?  Just curious who is saying it, I don't doubt it tho.
