LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Members of the Bears defense felt like they were watching a horror movie Monday when they reviewed tape of Sunday’s debacle against the Minnesota Vikings.
Rather than breaking into position groups as is normally the case the day after a game, the defense viewed the tape as a unit during a meeting that lasted about an hour longer than usual.
“It was ugly,” said linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer, a fifth-year pro. “That was terrible yesterday. We just watched the film as a whole defense to make sure everybody’s accountable. It was bad. We played as bad a football game as I think we’ve played since I’ve been here.”
Asked to describe the mood in the room, defensive end Alex Brown said: “We know we stunk, so it was bad. We know we played bad. It’s embarrassing. We don’t play like that. Well, I take that back. We do because we did yesterday. Hopefully we won’t see that again.”
Rather than attend part of the meeting as he normally does, Lovie Smith didn’t leave the room Monday as coaches and players dealt with the carnage inflicted by the Vikings.
