Its very easy. Cardinals (im in shock still) is exploiting the Chicago line. They are running alot of stunts on Defense, and getting pressure with the front 4. This allows the linebackers to go back into coverage, when you have 7 in coverage you will get turnovers from passes.
To me after the Cardinals scored first, it shocked the Bears. They look like they paniced and were asking Grossman to make alot of deep drops, to quickly get them back in the game. This works in the Cardinals favor. Grossman has found success throughout the year making short 3 step drops, using only the 7 step drop when he goes deep. Both INTs, and both fumbles by Grossman were both on 7 step drops. If the Bears want to get back into the game, they need quick 3 step drops, some playaction and actually running the ball.
Now with the Cardinals, they are playing "scared" right now. I think its a shock to them that they are dominating the game right now. The passive offense after the last 3 turnovers is horrible. When you are the Cardinals, you have nothing to lose here. Put the offense in Leinarts hands, and let him bury the Bears. They are so scared of making a mistake, that they are allowing these opportunities slip them by. Take the Reigns off of him, Leinhart has shown that he can make good reads....LET HIM DO IT. He is not your prototipical rookie quarterback.
I do agree with Charles Barkley that 20 points is not going to win this game. At this point you are the Arizona Cardinals, you have nothing to lose and everythig to gain. You have the Bears on the ropes, try and deliver a knockout punch.
Why fight it, i am a Man Whore!
