The only redeeming quality for special teams were the four successful extra points. Bad decisions, bad penalties and bad execution. A blocked punt out of the end zone led directly to the Niners first score. The Bears committed three penalties on the same punt attempt. That’s a trifecta of badness. ProFootball Focus agrees, grading the Bears special teams dead last. Is it too soon to start the #FireJoeDeCamillis hashtag yet?
Coaching (B)
I’m not sure what Marc Trestman said at halftime, but whatever he said certainly worked. The Bears held the Niners to just 3 points in the second half while going on to score 21 unanswered. We scoffed at Trestman’s idea to head to the west coast a day early, but maybe there was something to that.
What do you think? What grades would you give to particular players or positions?
