[CBFF] ESPN - Harris' return a shot in the arm for Bears' D

[Nat Mara]

Maybe he had adequate protection on specific plays, but more often than not
his protection did not last long.  Other than a few running plays by Jones,
we did not run block effectively.  Indy was not the type of team, which
should have given us problems on the LOS as they are a speed & finesse team
but that was the case that day. We can all speculate on what would have
happened without the rain, and if we had certain players but the truth is we
will never know.  We will just have to prove everyone wrong again and win it
all this year.

I dunno about that. It was second-and-1 when he fell down twice. And the
play before the INT returned for a TD was a 20-plus-yard first down that
followed a very weak holding call (on the opposite side of the play) that
negated a first down. They got shut down at times, but they got momentum a
few times and just happened to commit stupid plays each time.

No pressure on Manning, well, that's an easy answer. How about a whole new
defensive line?
