The 1 positive so far: a top 5-10 DEFENSE

Lets see, Def was already pretty good when Poles took over, then continued to spend a lot of resources to solidify it; leaving the O to waffle. He then this past season to build up the QB and WR's/TE's, pretending any of that would matter; but again continued to ignore the OL.

what's amazing he put a ton of capital into the DL, but just lets the OL waste away as if it's not important.

All they have to do is simplify the offense.

This is nowhere near a Lost Season or anything apocalyptic at all. We are 1-1 with the next half dozen games as definitely winnable.

On paper, this is the most talented offense since the days of Cutler-Marshall-Jeffrey-Bennett-Forte. We need to build Caleb’s confidence level up and find an OL structure that works. It can be done.

I do believe the O can make adjustments and get better this season.  That 2.46 yards per play on offense, surely isn't going to last all season.  You'd almost have to WORK on sucking that bad for an entire season.  

Yeah, while you don't want to panic, there is value letting Ryan Poles feel some heat over this offensive line failure.  I hope there's enough heat on him by fans, former Bears players (they have been brutal), and the sports media (local and national after the national crapping the bed on SNF) that Poles remembers this on draft day 2025.  Hold his feet to the fire right now, bigtime.  

I have had it with the failure to fix the OL here in Chicago.  If Poles can't get it done as GM, then get a GM here who can.  Fix the OL and prosper.
