Random fact that only I care about probably: This is the 7th straight World Series where someone scored in the first inning of Game 1

The Cubs medical staff wishes they were as incompetent as the Bulls medical staff historically. Dunn should be lucky they didn’t give him a spinal tap in the locker room

Looking at some early season numbers, its like the NBA is back to the mid-80s again. There are 9 teams that are allowing 120 ppg or more so far. The Bulls are averaging 111 ppg offensively and that's only good enough for 17th in the league. Insane.

God this team is so very bad. Hopefully Lauri is the missing piece

he had a 50% completion percentage, 2 picks and 2 more shoulda been picks. Yes he had a sub par day. But he isn't the reason they lost. The Bears will be 6-3 going into the Vikings game and this town will be creaming their pants again. As for Mack they said its a high ankle sprain and is a 6 week injury but playing thru it won't make it worse. This D was above average without him last year, maybe its time they find a way to stop getting gashed. Or make a stop at some point with 4 minutes to go in a game trailing by one score. Wont make it worse but will it delay his healing at all? Either way, the 2 games Mack has been hurt the pass rush has completely disappeared. Last week he had the worst PFF graded game of his career (yes PFF is questionable but they watched the entire game focused on grading him and came away thinking he had the worst game of his career), I'll be interested to see his grade this week. The Bears don't have a lot of depth behind him (I think?) but if he is playing below average while hurt it might make sense to sit him a week or two and give someone else a chance as its not like this defense was completely useless before he got here, it was good just not elite. You could also see Mack's effect on the Patriots game plan. In the 1st quarter Brady was all short drops, quick throws, slants, screens etc designed to avoid a dangerous pass rush. By the 2nd quarter Brady was taking 7 step drops, taking his time to survey the field and pushing it downfield a lot more. He had no concern that the Bears were going to be a threat to pressure him and for the most part he was right.

he had a 50% completion percentage, 2 picks and 2 more shoulda been picks. Yeah, you can cherry pick stats to make him look good, but he threw the ball 50 times to get his 333 yards passing and was constantly all over the place with his throws, missing passes both easy and difficult. No one is saying he's Moses Moreno or even Kyle Orton or even Jay Cutler, but we are being critical of him because we (or at least me) believes he has shown flashes of being very good so expectations are heightened

And he's making the most of it to the tune of nearly 30 points per game and a 97 passer rating, with less experience than Cutler had before he was traded to the Bears......yet it's still not enough for you. Anyone that's actually watched games know those stats are lying. He played a great game against Tampa (the D coordinator was fired 2 weeks later) and then a half of a game against Miami. Other than that, he looks like one of the worst QB's in the NFL. If you didn't watch today's game, you'd think he had a great game but 50% completion and 2 picks along with 2 dropped picks. He was bad. He sucks except for those times when he was great...got it

My criticism of mitch isn’t necessarily that he’s inaccurate it’s that he’s not consistently accurate. He was throwing lasers all over the field against TB and in the second half against Miami but today his footwork was all off and he was missing throws that Mike Glennon can hit in his sleep. Not to mention making some poor decisions but most QBs do that on occasion

Weren’t we saying they were the ‘85 Bears like three weeks ago? How did it go south so quickly? Mack got hurt and this has made him a shell of himself. Suddenly he’s not getting double teamed and we are realizing that guys like Floyd kind of suck

The collective luck of Boston sports and bad luck of the Chicago Bears conspired to make that happen

Damn if he could have held the ball out he scores

And the Bears are officially in last place in the NFC North

Geez this defense is atrocious. I’m sure some of it is Belichick outsceming fangio but still freaking awful

Really need to consider seeing what we can get for Howard

No they wont The jets are actually pretty decent aren’t they

Someone check Mitch for vertigo. I’ve honeslty never seen a QB this inaccurate for an entire game and I’ve seen a lot of bad QBs

He shouldn’t be playing if he is having no effect on the game. Sit him until he is 100%. The entire defense goes to horsefeathers when he is not effective. I know there isn’t a ton behind him on the depth chart but Mack at 50% is not as good as someone who is healthy based on what we are seeing

It’s almost like when you have absolutely no pass rush all day and the QB has 10 seconds to sit comfortably in the pocket, there is always an open receiver

Can already see how this goes. Everyone says “well we expected to lose this one now here comes the soft part of the AFC east” until they inexplicably lose to the jets next week and next thing you know we are on the road to 6-10 /pessimism

3 weeks ago: 153 QB rating. Today: 50

Underthrown INT by Mitch. He had him for a TD too

Very sobering performance

Mitch sucks today. Absolutely sucks. I mean fine he will learn from it but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t suck today.

Honestly we’ve played a pretty terrible game in all 3 phases so it’s amazing we are within a score.

It has to be. Every time I’ve seen him on camera he is walking awkwardly. It’s crazy how much worse the defense gets when he’s not dominating I But the Packers did it against a healthy Mack in the second half He played like 3-4 snaps in that second half
