CrackerDog Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Some trolls here are having a sad. On the other hand, real fans can take heart in the team showing improvement each week. Frankly they looked better against the Packers in week 1 than expected and then had a few games where they looked like last year's version of the Bears. Recently they've played some teams who, like themselves, aren't in the top tier of the league. But a road win is solid regardless of the opponent. And the manner in which they've won the last two games has been impressive no matter if you love Jay or not. Putting together those "captain comeback" type of drives are exactly why the Bears paid him the big bucks. Unfortunately he can't pull a win out of his butt when the D is giving up 40+ points but this team can be fun to watch when they stay within themselves and run a balanced attack. As a Bears fan I'm encourage, not embarrassed, by the way this team is playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I certainly didn't say they were the worst, but I REALLY thought there would be a sharper learning curve. I'm amazed at what the coaching staff is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChileBear Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I certainly didn't say they were the worst, but I REALLY thought there would be a sharper learning curve. I'm amazed at what the coaching staff is doing. Who would have thought that they'd get two hard fought victories this early? And the D, and the fact that we have a mash unit at WR? Hey, I'm takin' the 2-3 record and hoping we take advantage of the Lions disfunction to mess them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Right there with you... WE ARE FINISHING! Not just getting close and taking a boobie prize home for effort. We are having real achievements. I did not expect this. Coaches are really doing a great job as you said. I certainly didn't say they were the worst, but I REALLY thought there would be a sharper learning curve. I'm amazed at what the coaching staff is doing.

CrackerDog Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 AP currently ranks them at 20 which I'd say is fair except the Raiders don't belong above us. We just beat them last friggen week. This means the team is mediocre and hopefully improving. http://pro32.ap.org/poll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you are right, we should be ahead of OAK, and probably DAL (w/o Romo/Dez) and possibly SD (who has only beat DET and CLE). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackerDog Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Oh you're a very smart man Cracker... and I will need to take a bath after my workout today. You ought to bathe after something like that . Start with water, soap up, then rinse. Then we can all learn the difference between bath salts and sugar, btw I like skippy peanut butter.

Rankings don't mean anything anyways but nice to see them moving up instead of down. http://espn.go.com/nfl/powerrankings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
