Not improving from average is one thing. Not improving from atrocious is another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstract_thought Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 This offense can certainly get worse - the Bears are 1 Allen Robinson injury away from having a historically bad offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they make no additions. I am assuming they are going to be able to at least run the ball with a commitment to changing the system and personnel.

Uncle Buck Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) I could definitely see you guys winning the division next year. The Packers will never repeat the string of luck they had last year, and I think the Vikings may actually implode and end up with a 6-10 type of season. The Lions might surprise people, but the one team capable of rolling in the North is going to be 'da Bears, IMHO. A huge factor will be what you do at QB. I hate to say it, but I just don't see it working with Trubisky. Edited February 11, 2020 by Uncle Buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I am also hoping when Pace and Trubisky are gone, that the Mahomes and Watson thing shifts away. It won’t happen until both are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we all wish we could have invested in Apple or Amazon stock or even Bitcoin when it was dirt cheap and all be multi millionaires right abou5 now but (and maybe I'm not speaking for everyone here) we didn't do it. Not trying to get all philosophical on you but the point here is that we cannot dwell too much on actions that weren't taken in the past that could have painted a different picture. That's life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAF-N72EX Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 6 hours ago, abstract_thought said: The Bears' defense was not on the field significantly more than the average team Maybe not in terms of the time of possession --only because they still forced a lot of 3 and outs-- but they were in terms of significance because the offense was that bad. The offense would put together 6-7 plays per drive but it would often not amount to much of anything -- this skews the TOP. The offense was 29th in yards per drive, 28th in points per drive, 30th in punts per drive, 30th in 3 and outs per drive, and 17th in INT's per drive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just pointing out that the Bears defense did not play any more than the average defense. The narrative that they were on the field all game is not supported by the facts. The issue was not that they were on the field too often or even that they played poorly, but that the Bears' offensive ineptitude required they play to an impossible standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dwelling. It will just be nice when they are both gone and we can fully move on and do not need to hear about it. No more Trubisky bowls.
