NFL: Chicago Bears 15 New Orleans Saints 31 recap and analysis

The Bears started with the ball and after a silly ST's penalty they began in an awful field position but it's an excuse for what happen next to it, on 3rd and 8 when Cutler and Bennett weren't on the same page on an inside route an Saints' CB Robinson capitalyzed the error picking Cutler off to give his team a good chance to score but they didn't losing the fumble with WR Toon after a good reception. On their next offensive drive the Saints failed a 51 years FG with Graham after a very hard drive for them full of issues and difficulties. Chicago's bad offense struggling due to Cutler inability to pass the ball forward and being limitated just to runs and screens made them predictable and Rob Ryan's defense stop them and their offense took advantage of marching down field just with passes and even the 1st TD of the game has been a receiving one, it has been scored by TE Hill on a flat route after a play action fake well executed. Bears offensive struggle continue andd they aggravated their situation tryin to convert a 4th down on a fake punt into their midfield, they failed to do it an they gifted the ball to Brees on their own 41 yards. Fortunately for the Bears LE Willie Young kicked the Saints out of FG range with an imprtant sack beating RT Strief with a twisting move, the Saints prefered to punt rather then kick a 53 yards FG because of windy city famous conditions.
Bears offensive production continued to be 0 and the only 2 things they produced in the first half have been turnovers and 3 and out, this fact let the Saints have a chance to increase their lead with 2:20 left in the 1st half, they marched down the field just with pass due to the lack of TOs and doing that they attacked the most vulnerable part of the Bears defense the 2 minutes defense, they finished the drive with a slot vertical seem well run by Colston who used his big body to keep slot CB Hurst away from the ball that resulted in the 2nd TD pass by Brees. Cutler not happy to played an awful 1st half tried to march down the field and after a very good start of the drive he missed short a pass who the careful FS Warren picked off to end a disgusting 1st half for the home team.
The 2nd Half started with a very determinated Saints offense who moved the ball down field once more with a majority of passes, short passes gave them very good earnings and a surgical Brees scored his 3rd TD pass of them game on an identical play actions who let Josh Hill score his 1st TD of the game and again was Hill to score left free by Ryan Mundy who drunk the fake made by Brees with his eyes.
Cutler continued to not  have enough to throws interceptions and he threw another 1 on a deep pass intended to WR Jeffery who run a fly route that has been very well read by FS Warren who got his 2 pick 6 of the game. On the following drive the on fire Brees lead his team to score other 3 points due to a Graham's FG who brought them up 24-0 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Chicago finally put togheter a good drive especially on the ground alternating insie and outside runs ( a very important 1 has been the sweep to WR Morgan who had a huge gain ), they finalyzed it on a goaline play action where Cutler found WR Wilson on a shallow cross route in the endzone fot heir 1st score of the game, they converted by 2 on a pass to TE Bennett despite the 5 yards penalty for a false start. Unfortunately for the Bears they haven't been able to cameback the deficit due to a very bad o-line who seemed to never been on the same page and also to Cutler bad game overall. The home team left the field with lots of booooes by their own fans who in my opinion were right to do that due to the awful performance by their players.
A vrey bad football has been played in this game with a Bears team completely out of the game and a Saints team who after a very disappointing loss at home against the not brilliant Panthers shown good improvements especially on offense with a brilliant old style Brees who has been my MVP of the game along with the backup FS Warren who had 2 interceptions and with the ROLB Hawtorne who sacked Cutler 2 time and has been good in every situation of the game.
