I agree there's some similarities with 12 as well. I'll add to your list: That was the year Marv and Jay asked for more "unscripted plays" out of Dalton...which led to 46 sacks despite having a pretty good line.

Some are saying that Burrow is causing some sacks for similar reasons this year.


I was at Molly Malone's in Covington with my Wife and Dad that day, eating some of the best wings of my life. Bar was packed with Bears fans who started out talking smack and quickly quieted down before leaving completely dejected.

Awesome day.

Tbh, I have no idea why we threw so much against the Jets. I want to say Palmer had around 40 attempts. We should've been riding Benson all game. Especially against those corners. Marv always had us throwing a ton in the playoffs.

You are more accurate with the 2009 team,  but that team seemed to live and die with the run and unbalanced line.  I would like to see more of that as well, but they so need a play-action deep shot out of it.  You don't see many plays (outside of goal line) where the entire defense is at the line of scrimmage.  If they could have a TE chip and slide out, it could be a huge play.  

Palmer didn't quite seem himself in 2009, aside from a few big games.  I don't remember if that was the elbow season, but he wasn't as good as he was in 2005 and 2006.
