What are you liking about this team?

But even where talent exists they aren't getting it done.  WR is the only glaring issue and I don't think we know yet whether the talent is there with some of the younger players or not.  Not playing in the predictable style they have been.

Let's used Fuller and Amos as an example.  As short a time ago is this past summer we'd probably swear Fuller was on trading block and Amos's days as a starter were about to be over.  Both appeared to lack talent.  What about now?  Fuller is playing lights out even in man coverage and Amos is getting All Pro type grades at SS.

Christian Jones has filled in for Freeman and Kwiatkoski so well it would be hard to take him off the field right now and Bullard is beginning to overtake Unrein whose also been playing well.

These guys all seemed to lack something at some point in time prior to this season but through better coaching and a better understanding of their roles and a scheme that's working all of a sudden we aren't talking about a defense that's lacking talent any longer.

I'm gonna stick with my thinking that we have more talent on offense than we've been able to show simply because it's poorly schemed and he play calling is so limited it's a snap to defend.

I am super-curious to see what happens after the bye week.  Mitch had 4 games as a backup to watch, learn & just get his NFL bearings a bit.  Then he had 4 starts against some good defenses & a beginning opportunity to get his feet wet leading an NFL team in real games.  I think the bye week came at the perfect time for him.  He can catch his breath a bit, and review his progress, and work on some things.  He also will have Dontrelle Inman, a legit WR, to begin working with. 

I don't know what to expect in his 5th game, but it could show progress.  It could also show the play calling moving to a new stage with Trubisky having a bit of experience now.  I know it's not a lot of experience, but he may very well be maturing a bit with his game now.  I'm really excited about this Green Bay game.  This is a game we have a legit shot at winning.  It won't be Trubisky carrying the team, not by any means.  But maybe he will be able to help the team now - at least a modest amount with the beginnings of a passing game.  Can't wait to see the game :-)
