I seen where Charles Leno has only gives up 4 pressures this year, no sacks , no QB hits. He has played Matthews, Jones and Jason Pier-Paul, I would have to say he has done well. Blair Nichols, RHH, Bullard, and Arron Lynch are good players. Goldman, Mack are studs, Smith and Floyd have played well. We have a lot to look forward to on the D.

Defensively there are the worst but offensively they were the top passing offensive in the league. We should be in every game the rest of the year because of our defense. The Rams and Patriots are going to be tall hills to climb but they are not unbeatable. GB plays here, and we have the back to back with Minn and Detroit. The deeper we get into the schedule the more consistent we get on offense. Injures aside, we should be up for taking the Division and definitely be in the playoffs.

I dont think the yards matter that much, points should drop going forward with our schedule. I think the key is TOs and sacks, if we lead the league in those stats, we will be atop the heap. We still have room to grow, with Floyd, Mack and Smith. Also, Nichols looks like he could be a very good player. RHH is coming along to starter status.

The good thing is we have a bye this week while I am in Thailand. We have a chance for everyone to get healthy now with the bye. A chance for MT to progress a little and our offensive to get a chance to step forward a little.

I am a little disappointed we only had 4 sacks. Only 18 on the season. We need to step up, this isnt good enough.

I will have to say, I thought it was a dumb idea to keep Aaron Lynch around because he didnt play all preseason, but he can play.

155 yards and 3 TDs, he is still learning so calm down a little.

If MT has a good game today, can the Nelly Negatives jump on board.

I think Coward is the next guy up. With all the big contracts we have to have some small costs on the team. Coward will be one of them as a cheap starter.

The key will be turnovers, if we can take the ball away and control the clock, we will win easy. If not, another close game that comes down to the end with us needing a defensive stop.

Woulda, coulda,shoulda, we can draw any scenario that we like but it played out the way it did. Ridley would have been a good pick but for us to have gotten him it would have been with our first pick. Rumors are only rumors until they become reality. Miller will be very good once it plays out.

How does MT progress sitting on the bench behind Daniels? I think Daniels would perform better but the whole purpose of this year is to develop MT. With Mack coming it makes us better so that means the development of MT is trashed? No matter how good our D is , we will not make it to the SB until MT gets to his high point as the QB.

Absolutely , its like a car that needs a tuneup, running rough but once it gets fixed it will look amazing. Gabriel is probably the 3rd or 4th WR in this scheme but the key is his speed. He was brought in to create mismatching not for high volume. When this is running well, Robey- 10 targets a game, Burton 8, Gabriel 5, Miller 5, Cohen, 5 , Howard 5. If will look much different in week 8 and forward. Production is all tied to MT, once he rolls.

MT has had more bad plays than good, but after 3 games that we are 2-1 can everybody take a step back before we cut him from the team. Things he has to learn is trainable,by mass opinion, we have one of the better coaches to do that. He has the coaching staff to make him a good QB. With a complicated new system that Nagy said would take 2 years to learn, he is thinking to much and not reacting. As he becomes more comfortable with the system it will be more instinctive to him. Two of the 3 interceptions he has had in the last two games were off tipped passes and not just bad throws. He may not turn out to be a good QB, but this is way to early to get on the bandwagon to worst QB in the league. We have never seen a QB developed on the Bears before, lets sit back and allow that to happen.

It wasnt pretty, MT not good, Nagy bad game calling plays. BUT we won the game , a good defense will do that for you. Plus, they finally run the ball more, not pretty but we need to do that. We are winning the TOs, a very good sign.

I think AZ is not as terrible as they have looked. Bradford is bad, the OL is bad, but defensively they have Jones, Golden, Pertersen, they are capable of keeping in close, but I see no way we should lose this game. Offensive they need to use Johnson better than they have. Bears, 23- 9

This weak AZ right tackle is out for the game, that does not bold well for Bradford.

way cool, glad you get the chance to experience a live game.

I am just not sure you can judge a db by a couple of selected plays. I think you need to look at all of them. Time will tell if he wins the battle most of the time. Two games and two plays are a small sample size for judgement at this time.

He had tight coverage but your right he didnt turn his head, so that makes him a shitty DB? If you havent paid attention everybody gets beat at certain times, there were still perfect throws. You have to look at his over all game. I doubt if he turned his head that he would have broke up those plays, they were in a perfect spot to catch.

There going to run the ball a lot and quick throws in less than 2.5, so this won't be murder unless we stop the run effectively.

If you re-watch the game you will see that Fuller had tight coverage on both of those completed passes. Truth is they were perfect throws that he couldn't do anything about. Both Prince and Fuller have played well. Fangio won't ever be a head coach, his name is mentioned on a few hires last year but no one stepped up to even interview him. I think he will be satisfied with being the defensive guru of this team when they go to a Super Bowl. Sims did not block well on several hurries that MT had, he missed blocks not getting to the area he needed to be. Lynch played well in his time on the field, glad to see we get mileage out of him.Smith and Mack still have to get in to player shape but are both playing well in limited snaps.

When you look at MTs development , you can pick out the good things you see or you can find things to criticize. The Bears have been bad for so long it seems that a lot of you look for failure because that is what were use to . I swear you cheer for failure so you can say look at me, i was right. This team is not the same as other teams we have been use to. It is at the stage where it is to about to take the next step and be on the winning side of a record. Pace has made many mistakes to get to this point in a total rebuild of the team. I also might add he is did many good changes also. We get one of the best 3 defensiveness players in the league and instead of enjoying the ride, you want to complain we paid to much. I see us on the verge of being a very good team. For some it seems like it has to be instant success or the whole plan is failure. When we finally get on the right side of winning, they will be people on here than complains about how flawed it is . If you want to be debbie downer all the time , good luck with that, but I am going to enjoy the ride. We win a game and so many on here want to pick everything a part. If perfection is what you seek, I suggest you pick a different sport because you won't find that in football.

My point on Watson was last year he looked like all world after his run and this year he looks more like a work in progress. I am not sure any of us have seen a QB be developed before. Let's have a conversation towards the end of the year about where his growth is. In 2 years when we compare Watson, MT and Mahonnes, we may have a better perspective on who they are.

first things first, WE WON THE GAME, we have a dominate defense. They look tired in the last quarter but the NFL is always going to take a few weeks to get up to speed because of practice rules in the off season. Positives- D and is going to get better. We would like to think every play is awesome but the truth is the other team will make some plays. I like the offensive mentality of not being predictable. As far as consistency, we will be a different team in the middle of the season than we are right now. Everybody stated that and now that we are going through those growing pains, it is like a surprise . Allen Robinson is the real deal, a true #1. Negatives- We did not run the ball very well which goes back on the Oline. Need to fix that. MT is a work in progress. He has some good plays and then bad. I still think the arrow is pointing up until it doesn't. To me , on his bad throws, I do not see him setting his feet. last year we hailed D. Watson and if you look at these first two games, it is not so pretty. Mahonnes is the latest comparison but I think that is unfair. He has the same system and sat on the bench to learn his first year. He has excellent targets. The good thing , the system that is making Mahonnes look good is here now, but will take some time to get it smooth. If MT looks like this in week 8, then we can question him but a little early to be Nelly negative.
