TOP in the Titans game was:
Titans: 34:54 Bears: 25:06
This cannot continue to be the case. Whether our offense is successful or not (obviously it wasn't) we cannot concede almost 10 minutes (10 MINUTES DAMMIT!) of ball control to the opponent every week.
We got lucky their QB was Levis and not somebody named Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert, Hurts, Tua, etc.

Waldron is the one on the hot seat right now. But folks I think there was mostly a lot of miscommunication and not being on the same page. Caleb said as much & that they'd fix it quick.

We definitely need more TOP. As everyone already knows, any D cannot maintain effort when they get gassed, but I also am concerned about them wearing down from game to game and sustaining injuries because of it.

+1 I'm sure that a lot of this can, and will be fixed. Some may be quick, but some will take some time to come together. It's easy to forget that this is a totally new offense as far as players, schemes, coaches, playbook and on top of all that it is a green as a gourd rookie QB1 - starting his first NFL games behind an OL with issues. It's not just a "draft a new QB and it's all good now" thing. There are a lot of critically important moving parts here that need to be working smoothly before we will see a solid offense here in Chicago.

Keeping things in perspective it is just one game.
What I’m looking for in the next game is Caleb’s accuracy. That was a problem on Sunday and I just hope that isn’t a thing with him.
