Some really good stuff. Changes my opinion of some things.
The stuff in red confirms common thoughts that Seattle's offense is too predictable and vanilla. At least for me.

#Seahawks aimed to get Graham involved early – simple pass to him in flats to open game.
Jenkins sack product of Graham not getting head turned around quickly enough on shallow cross.
McPhee showed explosive lateral movement in phone booth as a pass rusher. Ability to beat guards.
#Bears coverage foundation was man-to-man.
Graham 22 yds #Bears not set in coverage, no one matched up to him.
when WR Matthews motions down into the formation out of base personal, it’s a run indicator.
DE Jenkins flashed getting off blocks, run and pass. Facing Sweezy or Gilliam.
#Bears a baffling prevent tactic on Kearse 15 yds. Had 8 defenders along goal-line....
cont.... allowed #Seahawks to reach the 3-yard-line with 13 seconds left and a timeout.
LB’s McClellin and Jones can be susceptible to misdirection concepts off PA. Had trouble vs. shallow crosses on rollouts.
Watching more of the film, I'd say really #Bears coverage foundation was matchup man out of Cover 3 type shell.
McPhee also showed explosiveness off edge. Sacks came later in down and vs. Graham and Gilliam, still physically impressive.
Rawls 21 yds was designed cutback executed to perfection.
still didn’t get the sense #Seahawks have firm identity w/ Graham. More involved, but not moved around or featured in many ways.
Baldwin 22 yds was staple #Seahawks pick/wheel concept from slot.
Graham 30 yd TD from condensed 2 x 2 formation was bunch effect (RB out of backfield)...
cont.....switch releases. That and Graham’s initial outside stem created inside leverage vs. Vereen.
On Graham 30-yd TD Wilson presnap adjustment and great job holding backside S with eyes.
Very possible on Graham TD Wilson adjusted formation/routes after seeing #Bears Cover 4 to front side and Cover 2 backside.
FB Coleman blew up McClellin on lead-block to spring Rawls 18 yds.
#Bears run game early on featured down-blocks with pullers. Had some success with it.
#Bears mostly gap-scheme runs, not zone. Makes sense given athleticism of #Seahawks front seven.
Adam Gase clearly did not want the game in Clausen’s hands.
#Seahawks blew coverage on Forte wheel route 3rd-4, LB Wright did not carry with him, Sherman never even considered the RB....
cont... Clausen saw it but edge pressure by Avril (beat Bushrod) prevented throw.
C Montgomery had a few nice reach-and-seal blocks in run game, including one at LB level.
#Bears in first half were able to line up and run ball on #Seahawks. Problem is you need to do that about 15 times on a drive..
#Bears more zone run concepts as game progressed. The play calls came in bunches.
DT Hill multiple TFL’s, presnap alignment set up penetration vs. zone run game, pretty good movement for his size.
Wagner had some success as blitzer. Tactical advantage by scheme or #Bears mistakes also helped.
Zach Miller 21 yds was corner route from shift to detached TE spot vs. LB Wright. Clausen decent throw outside numbers.
Clausen was frenetic in pocket at times, played like he anticipated fast #Seahawks DL getting after him.
Forte had some mishaps in pass protection vs. Wagner blitzes.
DT Bennett showed his usual explosiveness – must be alert for his ability to shoot gaps going under zone blocks in run game
