By playing conservatively or more basic, you could prevent that team from exposing aspects on tape for when it matters most. For example, the 49ers used a 2-guard pull against the Giants in their playoff game but not against anyone else IIRC. The Cardinals in 08 refused to run the ball with Edge until the playoffs.

Thats fair, but IMO the Bears defense has been the simply tampa 2 since Lovie came there, they have fantastic personnel for it but they are almost always basic vs anybody and are amazing at film study. If they meet again it will work to their advantage due to knowing Keapernick's tendencies better

Agree with the last sentence completely. However, it is doubtful they'll see Colin.

Idk bout the last sentence, their offense tonight is fundamentally different tonight. With Smith in he has the power to change plays but hot routes and sight adjustments are built in every play and it becomes a matter of knowing them. Tonight there are actual hot routes adjusting to the blitzes and more variation in the passing game

Can't believe the Bears D is getting gashed like this.

Seriously.
