Smitty's statement after the game:
Godfrey's statement about the Bears final drive:
Rivera's reasoning for ^that:
So... the Bears keep running the same play, over and over, and moving the ball. Yet, instead of switching to another defensive play to stop that offensive play, you keep calling the same one when it's not working? On what fucking planet does that make ANY sense?! They didn't HAVE to systematically beat you when you systematically did that for them.
Bottom line: when you are 1-5, it's pretty much a given that your playoff hopes are squashed. Your job could possibly be on the line with a new GM coming into the organization and yet you still feel like it's best to be conservative and play NOT to lose? No. Show the fans, the team, the future GM, and the owner that you actually have some balls and be aggressive for fuck's sake. Or, at the very least, show that you're not stupid enough to call the same play over and over when the opponent is driving down the field against that play. Now you're 1-6 and on top of looking more gutless then you did before, you just look plain idiotic and don't know what the hell you're doing as a head coach.
"It's getting old. There is a tradition growing here and I'm not sure which way this tradition is going. ... Not heartbreaking. Tiresome, monotonous, a few guys in here are perturbed and (ticked), but we're beyond heartbreak. We're just getting upset."
Godfrey's statement about the Bears final drive:
"They threw the same pass play I think all the way down the field. That was a great play for that coverage and they just ran that play all the way down the field. And the coverage we were in, we just stayed in that coverage."
Rivera's reasoning for ^that:
"We were trying to keep the ball in front of us. It's one of those things where if you jump it and they double-move you, now all of a sudden it's a touchdown or the ball is in field goal range. We were trying to make them systematically beat us."
