560 pass attempts says yeah...apparently this conservative offense people keep on talking about is a myth.
ok. I'll make it right by you. Conservative SCORING offense. The offense is super dynamic and the rest of the league wishes they had it. It's not a conservative offense. Just the scoring part of the offense seems a little stingy.... er... I mean conservative.
Better now?
Hah! I didn't say it was effective now did I? With my limited football knowledge I do know when receivers drop passes that hit them in the hands in the end zone...you don't get points for that. I also know that when you throw an interception in red zone...you don't get points for that. My limited football knowledge also knows you don't do a lot of scoring with bums at QB and receiver.
Fox is going to try out building a defense so great that he doesn't need any offense. Just need a punt team and then all defense and special teams. MOTM will be so happy.
Worked for Dikta, and almost worked for Lovie; although neither went back to the SB, so it tells you how hard it is to maintain that lvl of success.

Hmmm... I bet it was nice having Walter Peyton. Come to think of it, there were some pretty damn good players on that offense. The Lovie years were pretty close though.

Or at HC. See.... you made your point
Our HC calls the offense? This must be a new development.
I go along with 1, 4 and 5. But heck no to 3 and 4.
Why doesn't 3 make sense to you? What do you do at QB? You have to make a big move of some sort if you like the idea of 1 (ditching Cutler). I might be alone here, but I'd be okay with Tyrod. Not a huge contract, but reasonable. I also think you have to draft a QB, but if you have intents grab one high, you don't sign a QB like Tyrod or Glennon.
I'm not sure if it's 2 or 4 you dislike. I'd be okay tagging Jeffrey to keep him off the open market again and to get a long term deal done. If he doesn't sign long term, well, we have the money/cap. If you don't like upgrading the CB situation... I understand not doing it at the 3rd overall pick, but help is needed.

+1 People forget that the '85 Bears had the #2 scoring offense in the NFL, to go with that #1 defense (LINK). It wasn't like that team was all D and no O. They had a great OL, Hall of Fame RB Walter Payton (a 1st team All-Pro that year), a Pro Bowl QB, one of the fastest humans on earth as their WR (World Record Olympian and multiple gold medals in the 4x100m relays), and arguably the most gifted all-around FB in the past 50 years for the Bears, Matt Suhey.
It wasn't like the team had some crap offense. But all people talk about is the defense on that team. The offense was pretty exciting to watch also.
Not bad but I laughed when he said the Bears were and unlucky team because of the close games they lost. If he watched those games I think he'd find that it had more to do with poor coaching than bad luck. A team that is coached well would win those games and a team that is talented enough would win despite the poor coaching.
The thing is football has a lot of random variables to it. An unfortunate bounce of a fumble or a bad pass that bounces off a defenders hands into a receivers. So much that in games decided by one score almost always break 50/50 statistically over time for any team. There isn't any team that beats that regression regardless of coaching, players, or organization.
The Bears were like 2-7 or something like that in close games last season. There is a good likelihood that could regress to the mean or even swing the other way next season.
