    The bears radio guys are really bad.

    If we should expect PCA and Amaya to be bad hitters (#1) then I’m not quite sure how we can say the starting lineup is very good (#3). I think it’s more accurate to describe the starting lineup as average to above with very limited upside. And the same injury concerns about the rotation apply to this aging lineup, as most of the guys have spent time on the IL with regularity.

    It was a pretty enjoyable season for me although that has nothing to do with the cubs, just had a generally pleasant March - September with family and friends.

    Existential despair won’t return if they lose a game in a couple weeks IF they win this one and look good doing so. The dread has been about winning ugly and losing uglier with no signs of life until the end of a bad loss. if they beat the Rams and Panthers, and look good offensively, then a loss to Jacksonville in London would be hugely disappointing from a 2024 season perspective but not a state of the franchise mindset.

    Chicago managed 1 quarter of respectable offense in their first three games, finally discovering Kmet’s usefulness and Odunze’s ability. They are one of the worst passing teams in the again, bottom of completion %, yds/att, TD/Int and sacks. They are okay on short distance yardage and abysmal at long throws, with the exception of completed but wholly unsuccessful Hail Mary attempt. They also can’t run the ball for horsefeathers. All of that is fine in the long term development of Caleb Williams but not good for the team’s chances to compete in the near term. And with a terrible coaching staff regularly making bad decisions this team could be in for a really disappointing season that should result in a house cleaning (but likely won’t). The defense is good but can’t win games on its own when not playing basement dwellers. Hopefully the offense can build on its 4th quarter success last week and pull off a win against a rams team coming off an upset win. If they lose the second of back to back very winnable games (bears -2.5) the Carolina game next week suddenly becomes must win. 1-4 with the back half of this schedule coming up would be a tall task.

    One man’s reality is a Pollyanna’s negativity

    It’s really weird to me that people are pretending 360 yards and 2 touchdowns didnt include 3 turnovers a bunch of bad throws and a fluke Hail Mary reception off a tip that meant nothing. Williams was bad for three quarters. The offense is trash. But at least they remembered Kmet plays on this team. They’ve got a long way to go to be able to competed with even mediocre teams, let alone bad ones like Indy.

    Harrison Butker missed far right, I’m shocked
  9. jersey cubs fan
    Truly atrocious coaching staff
  10. jersey cubs fan
    Didn’t watch, into listened and some red zone possessions. Did they take a timeout after a touchdown to figure out whether to go for 2?
  11. jersey cubs fan
    The line is terrible and none of the RBs are skilled enough to do anything on their own. Swift was a tremendous waste
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Waldron is terrible Tom Thayer is a complete moron for questioning why Indy would take a timeout with 1:55 to go in half. NFL teams should automatically do that every time. You only need ~30 seconds to get into FG territory.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    If so, we’re well on our way to a 10 loss season and they need to start looking at guys who can replace this front office and coaching staff. Can’t allow Poles to do any more damage. The new guy will get to use Williams for another year and try to fix him then probably draft a new QB in 2026.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Carolina and Bears both lost that trade
  15. jersey cubs fan
    It looked very obvious to me that something in the locker room at halftime convinced Waldron he finally had to feature Kmet. Whether it came from Flus, Poles, Kmet, other vets or Williams, who knows. But Waldron intentionally ignored Kmet for the first 6 quarters of the season in favor of his pet project who has been a dud.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    He didn’t get a pass until the second half. The second play of the game went to Waldron’s pet project. It is not make believe that Kmet has been an afterthought in the first two games
  17. jersey cubs fan
    And he still managed to negatively affect the team with a horrible penalty in crucial situation he was in over Kmet because the OC “trusts” him
  18. jersey cubs fan
    I don’t mean to understate the importance of solid veterans around the kids, it’s more about pointing out the awkwardness of this roster construction. They wanted to stop losing on purpose so they got a bunch of vets and overpaid several just because they can. Foligno makes sense as the captain on this roster but the biggest reason is he won’t be around long. Seth Jones also made sense but because he’s going to be here a long time, they really couldn’t give it to him. Most roster predictions I’ve seen have Foligno as the 4th line wing, which has to be somewhat unique. Captains on good teams are generally top 6 guys at least. It’s just another reminder that this isn’t a competitive roster right now and despite splurging in the offseason, the goal is more about being respectable losers rather than exciting winners.

    Eberflus revenge game doesn’t do it for you?
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Should probably get used to that shrinking coverage area until the bears manage to score a TD each half of play it’s really unwatchable from a national perspective, as it has been for years
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Lots of roster predictions going out this week as camp gets set to begin following the various prospect showcases last week. The first preseason game is a week away in Detroit. And today they announce Nick Foligno as the captain. He’s here for two more seasons at an inflated rate as reward for babysitting last season. He’s also predicted by most to be a 4th line guy. Not sure how many teams have 4th line captains, but it can’t be many contenders.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Chicago is a 1.5 point underdog to the Colts in the dome. The wheels have fallen off the offense which looks like a lemon driven off the lot with no test drive before purchase. Let’s hope Waldron has something up his sleeve because this group is not beating anybody straight up on talent alone. The defense might have to score to pull this one off. This game starts a string of 3 straight nooners against mediocre teams before the early morning London game against Jax. They also have 2 months before their first divisional opponent so there is time to fix this mess, regardless of my complete lack of faith in the coaching staff to pull it off.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Philthy Eagles blow it in tremendous fashion. Bad coaching is an epidemic. Hilarious that Andy Reid can’t stop winning super bowls and the Eagles have a coach that can’t handle clock management to save his life
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Force of habit
  25. jersey cubs fan
    The only thing on this offense I’m not concerned with is DJ Moore. The rest either played poorly or didn’t participate much at all. I don’t know if it’s more Waldron or Fields, but they actively look for ways not to use Kmet.
