Guys...Whats up with the Offense tonight!?!?!?

Todd Collins grew a pair and stepped up. Saunders has always expressed his confidence in the vet, and he proved he could make plays.

That pass to Yoder was money, but the one to Cooley war borderline reckless. Who cares... he made it happen. Good for him.

Oh... and the Bears suck.

I think you hit on the most likely explanation. They are horrible on defense this year.

I did notice the extreme difference in velocity between Campbell and Collins. Collins' balls tend to float. We got away with it because the Bears aren't covering very well. But in the back of our minds, I think we all know that when we play better defenses, we're not going to get that much separation from defenders, and some of those slow floating passes are going to get knocked down and won't reach their target.

PS 54 yards of Collins' total was attributable to the short screen to Portis which he nearly took to the house. The Bears missed a number of tackles on that play. Take that one away, and you get 14-19 for 170 yards. Still a strong night. But it was the Bears' terrible coverage that helped that.

Collins can run the offense, he knows the system. But against a good defense, I don't think he can make all the throws. Hopefully we can get by with screens, slants, and a strong running game.
