He still should be fired. 1 game doesn't count one way or the other.
But in yesterday's game-
Cutler has a 103.8 rating. It would have been higher except for the incompletions and int on the last drive.
Forte had a 5 yard per carry average. That is with 22 attempts. Ridiculous. Bush only carried twice and he had a 5.5. avg.
Only 1 sack. I know there were a few pressures but there could have and should have been more with the weak OL of the Bears that was made even more so when the RG left.

Is this really Capers' fault? There are other areas on this D that has been deficient in terms of talent. I'm struggling to see that the blame lies solely with Capers in this regard.
Statistically, we've been horrid on D. But, like hardrocker said, we don't necessarily have to be all that great, just good enough to get the job done. I'm wondering if we might be able to do that, and make the real run to a 5th Lombardi Trophy… I mean, if we are going to better our defensive play, stats and standing, we could not pick a better time to do that than now.
If Dom Capers can get this bunch to play lights out and help us win in the playoffs, then my hat will be off to him. We'll see what happens. I'm hoping to be eating a giant plate of crow...
