Crawley didn't play and Bradford was healthy plus Dalvin Cook.

Offense was still out of sync (especially after Strief went down) and we played horrible zones and Harris on defense.

We play them today and I think the outcome is different.

Yeah, this team looks nothing like the team we played five weeks ago.

Harris played and Crawley didn't.

We also discovered Kamara in the second half as opposed to having him play a big role in the first half.

Early in the game we settled for two field goals instead of getting at least one touchdown.

Defense was in 2016 form.

Because they're physical as frick

Same reason the Pats got their shite pushed in by KC

kept getting drives stalled out in redzone. Settling for FG's.

The Defense didn't take advantage of the opportunities to get a turnover. The Cam Jordan tipped pass and the fumble by L. Murray.

Sam Bradford had the game of his life. He might as well retire now because its only going to be downhill from this point

Because it isn’t. Bradford is hurt and Dalvin cook is out for the year.

Bradford was 100% healthy for like the first time ever when we played and dalvin cook was on his way to being the best or 2nd best rookie running back in the league.

Both the Pats and the Vikings played out of their minds against us.

They have not looked the same since.

I’m going with way too much weirdly designed zone defenses and deciding to play Devante Harris over Ken Crawley being the main reasons for the loss.

I'm not sure because the Bears OL is easily worse than ours however Trubisky is obviously a lot more mobile than Brees is, so you have to take that into account. Trubisky just did a great job of avoiding their pressure but they still rattled him some. Throw in Cook and a healthy Bradford with an out of sync Saints team and you have your answer.

Also we had a dumb timeout/dropped interception before half that gave them free points

The main reason is they were healthy and our defense was still finding its rhythm.

But Bradford/Diggs/Cook were all essentially non-factors tonight due to injury, and those are three of their top 5 skill position guys. We got pretty unlucky to play them at the peak of their powers. That being said they're still 3-2.

The Saints first four opponents have a combined record of 12-7 after five weeks with no losing records. It's really not bad being 2-2 after the opening four games
