It is of course extremely stupid and racist of all the low-info Bears fans, but I do have to say, I hadn't seen Young play until yesterday and I am shocked at how unimpressive he was and bewildered that someone who is 5'10" (probably shorter) went 1st overall and doesn't seem to display any of the qualities that made someone like Drew Brees or Russell Wilson succeed despite their height. How does that happen?

Will there be an argument at all? Barring any injuries, I think we've seen that this current Oline is at least competent (snaps aside)

Poles has been up and down and that includes some significant ups. There are difference makers from these drafts: Kyler Gordon and Jaquan Brisker have played really well. Darnell Wright is a stud. There are other role players that have played well: Roschon Johnson is playing well in limited playing time, Braxton Jones has played shockingly well for a 5th round pick and Tyler Scott has been integrated more into the offense. Dexter and Pickens both played well yesterday, though they've been fairly invisible so far this year. I'm more positive on Tyrique Stevenson than many, though he's made some mistakes, I like a lot of what I've seen. It's simply not all bad. The early returns on Sweat are good. Andrew Billings has played well. You can respond and say a lot of those guys aren't difference makers, they're just guys. Well, yeah, maybe - but you need a lot of guys who can do their jobs to have a good football team. That may not be good enough, you probably need more clear star players. But it simply hasn't been all bad.

Sucks for Fields this is the game he's (most likely) coming back to. Going to Detroit to play the best team in the division (not high praise), and will likely be required to put some points up early and often to stay competitive in the game. Not ideal. It's too bad he wasn't healthy enough to return for Carolina, because we saw that a straw-filled dummy approximation of a Quarterback was all that was required to beat them. So it goes. Will be a big test of the defense. Don't expect to keep these guys under 20 points. They're gonna move the ball and score. It'll be nice to see what kind of pass rush they can get with Sweat another week into the system and in a dome. I'm also curious to see how the Oline holds up. Hopefully they give Fields a nice cushion to let himself ease back in. We shall see.

I will say this: the table is set for Fields. The Oline is playing the best ball it has in years. The running game is rolling. Kmet is playing well. Up to Fields to prove himself over the rest of this season.

Bryce Young looked like hot garbage im going to be honest
-
Ahahahahah ok im confident the panthers are worse than the bears, so there’s that
-
This team is allergic to turnovers
-
Ok a little dramatic irony in Herbstreit talking about how good Bagent has been at protecting the ball right as Bagent throws a ball at 2 defenders
-
Ahahahah they did it they gave up a 1st after a 1st and 30 pathetic pathetic pathetic.
-
Why, why do you have to jump the snap on 3rd and 17 you goddamn idiot
-
Lmao, 1st and 30 but if any team can give up a 1st down here, it’s us
-
I’m salty because I feel like other teams very very rarely get called for those kinds of pick plays also our punter absolutely sucks
-
Sure would be nice if one of these passes popped up in the air landed in a Bears DBs hands
-
You’re not going to go for 2 there?
-
The amount of love Bagent is getting from Herbstreit for a 1 yard gain on a boot is…perplexing
-
Abraham Lincoln on Kyler Gordon: “I cannot spare this man, he tackles”
-
Bagents strategy on 3rd down to throw big uncatchable lollipops is…curious
-
Impressive bounce back drive from Bagent. It wasn’t all good or neat, but he made it work. The ball isn’t looking as crisp as it has for him before, and he’s not looking as decisive. But, he got the job mostly done.
-
You don’t have a hot read when you’re blitzed? What the hell was that
-
Ok. That was the first legitimately good throw from Bagent today. good job.
-
A sack??? On a third down???
-
Ya that’s the thing right? Even when he was throwing picks in New Orleans, he was doing it with confidence. He’s looking so finicky right now
-
Oh man, the Bears are gonna lose aren’t they
-
What the hell is Bagent doing
