Team Mentality

Dunno what to tell you other than this franchise just can't stop stepping on their own dicks.  

They added to the OL this offseason, probably not enough and not in the right way but they did, and what happens?  The starting-5 stumbles and bumbles through preseason unable to stay on the field as a unit and then the starting LT, a rare bright spot from last year, opens the RS by regressing badly and having his worst game of his career.  The guy you signed to be your steady rock at C can't stay healthy and, when he is, has been sub-average every game.  You kept old man Whitehair as the "vet leader" only to find out he still can't snap the ball and remains a liability at LG.  Nate Davis, your top O FA signing, barely practiced all offseason cuz he's a fkn head case.  And it showed week 1.  Your own proven OL on the roster is made of glass and won't be here long-term.  Oh and BTW, you passed up a 26yo All-Pro LT who later signed for a modest $16m AAV somewhere else because he "didn't fit the scheme".

Go EFF yourself.  (Not saying that to you, JABF.  Just Venting my frustrations at this awful Bears managerial team)

I have no freakin' clue WTF happened on the field coaching-wise yesterday.  I can't wrap my head around it.  Maybe someone here who played or coached major college level football can explain it to me.  I can't fathom how you could call the same play or set of plays or same defensive alignment over and over, see it fail or get exploited over and over, and not immediately feel a profound sense of urgency to change things up.  I'm talking a few series of failing and somehow not noticing that things aren't working out.  Can someone explain that to me please?

That would be like driving the route you planned to the airport to catch your flight, finding out the road is closed for some reason, and just putting your car in park just sitting there rather than turning onto an alternate path.  I simply don't understand.

Guarantee you Getsy would say either he can't trust the OL or can't trust Fields.  I don't doubt for a second that both of those are true to some extent.  Guess what?  I don't care about your "level of trust", Luke.  Your job this year is to evaluate Fields and his ability to operate an NFL offense.  If you don't like your OL, then fix it.  Put Lewis in there every play as a blocker and go.  Let Fields air it out and use Moore and Claypool properly.  If he throws 5 picks, then he throws 5 picks.  YOUR JOB IS CALL A SCHEME THAT SUITS YOUR QB'S GAME AND SEE IF HE CAN OR CANNOT ASCEND AND IMPROVE.  

Hoge pointed out the obvious in his pod after the game.  If your plan was to throw all this horizontal short crap, which is NOT Field's game, then why is your best blocking WR (EQSB) inactive?  Why did you trade the #1 pick for DJ Moore to throw to him only twice, both in the 1st quarter?

If you are worried about your pass pro, then why the hell didn't you get Orlando Brown when he was right there for the taking?  Why didn't you upgrade your C position when you had multiple options to do so this offseason?

They will never answer these questions which pisses me off even more.  I'd like to see these guys have to stand at a podium and be embarrassed by questions like these.  You are paid millions of dollars to be experts at football so yes you should be publicly shamed and humiliated when your counterparts on the other team vastly outclass your sorry ass. 

We are STILL waiting to see the Chicago Bears produce a skilled, at least competent, NFL caliber passing offense.  To do that you need 4 things:
Quality QB
Quality pass pro
Quality receiving weapons
Quality playcalling/coaching.

The Bears never seem to be able to put those four pieces together.  We are lucky to get one.  

I started hearing boo's around halfway through the 1st Q. Every failed 3rd convert or a stupid fool no-one screen a few boo birds could be heard as well.
