There Was A Big Bears Silver Lining During Texans Loss

I agree, JABF.  I thought the D overall did a pretty darn respectable job.  They gave up only 2 TDs on the road and 1 of those was an indefensible superb play (perfect pass and great catch by an elite WR).  The run D looked a little shaky in the first half but shut down Lamar Miller completely in the 2nd.  I was particularly surprised in a good way by the secondary which we all think is thin and was further missing Fuller.  They played well--I thought we were gonna get torched by Hopkins--and young players like Glenn, HJQ, Callahan, and Amos look promising going forward.

lets remember that Houston is one of the better teams we will face this year, with one of the best defenses we will see, and certainly the best pass rush.  

As as much as it sucks to lose (and that WAS A WINNABLE GAME before two dumb miscues on O pissed away big opportunities) losing on the road to a playoff team from the AFC is about the least damaging loss you can have.

unfortunately, the upbeat feeling I have about the D doesn't extend to the O.  Langford and White in particular need to produce more and the pass pro meltdown in the 2nd half was terrible.
