I think you've missed the last 10 years of Bears football. How many times have they lost games after great defensive performances?

I just can't with this offense. I've never seen anything this bad in a long time.

Can you blame me? I've been poisoned by bad Bears football for more than a decade. What could go wrong almost always does for them.

Worst coordinator in football, and it's not even close.

Pass defense is getting torn up, and the Bears continue to not do themselves any favors by allowing Carolina to convert on all these 3rd and long situations. Feels like this is the type of game where it's only a matter of time. All it takes is one explosive play and a turnover on offense and this game will take a dramatic turn.

I've seen a lot of bad Bears offenses over the years, but I'm pretty sure this has to be the worst. It's almost a guaranteed three and out if the 1st down run play goes for less than 3 yards. They lack talent, but the coordinator puts them in positions to fail time and time again.

Defense has to be close to leading the league inn 3rd and long conversions.

This play calling on offense is driving me crazy. This defense is going to be shot by the 4th quarter.

This is why I'm always so concerned when they don't score on these explosive plays. I have no faith in their ability to finish off drives and having to settle for 3 there instead of 7 might come back to haunt them.

Meredith is not the difference between putting up 400 yards passing through the air and struggling to throw for over 150. He's not Julio Jones.

Beautiful throw by Trubisky to Cohen. They need to use Cohen more as a WR WITH Jordan Howard in the backfield. Should open things up a bit with his speed like you saw there! Now, they have to finish this drive off with 7 going into halftime.

Barkley was throwing to Cam Meredith, Josh Bellamy, Deonte Thompson, and Marquess Wilson towards the end of last year and was lighting it up through the air.

EDDIE JACKSON AGAIN!

The offense is doing absolutely no favors for the defense. Loggains HAS to open up the playbook and let Trubisky throw. Matt Barkley threw for over 350 yards in multiple games last year with this same WR crew. Stop playing not to lose!

That's a terrible sack taken by Trubisky. You HAVE to get rid of the ball. Now probably out of FG range.

What kind of play call was that? Low percentage throw on 3rd down? Really?

Holy shit, dude. Who pissed in your cheerios this morning?

The way Fuller has been playing this season, it's pretty obvious that he's in line to receive a big payday from somebody at the end of the year, providing he can maintain this level of play throughout the season. One of the cardinal rules in team building is to not let your young talent go in free agency to let other teams reap the benefits. Pace has already let that happen once with Alshon Jeffery. Although, it is fair to point out that Jeffery didn't want to be in Chicago, although I suspect some of it may have had to do with the rocky relationship he had with Fox. Not sure where Pace fits in with having influence there, but regardless, the same thing applies now to Kyle Fuller. He's another young and talented player that the Bears absolutely cannot let walk in free agency. My concern isn't so much that they would be unwilling to pay him, but that the Bears certainly haven't done themselves any favors by the way they've tried to portray Fuller over the last couple of seasons in the media: which is basically that he's soft and lazy/not serious about football. For a roster already devoid of so much talent, it would be a major setback to let a still young, up and coming CB walk when you have so many needs elsewhere on a roster that you have to figure out how to improve. Is anybody else worried that deja vu will strike again in the off-season, because I sure am. Like Jeffery, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Fuller wants nothing to do with the Bears in the off-season. I don't think not picking up his option was the wrong move, but I'm sure that couldn't have made him feel any better about his situation with the Bears that was already rocky to begin with.

I pondered this question when the injury happened. His injury wasn't something that should have been season ending. As far as the normal recovery timeline for the type of injury he had is roughly 6-8 weeks. It's already been 5 weeks, which means the earliest he'd be able to return would be week 8 of the Saints game, but more likely not until week 10, which is the Packers game. Even if his recovery took a bit longer, there's still 7 weeks of the season to go after that Packers game, which would have been a full 8 weeks since the injury. So, unless he's an incredibly slow healer, or he had some complications that we don't know of, it would be really odd for him not to be able to come back and play this year. Ryan Pace needs to know how good this guy is before deciding on whether to pick up his option at the end of the year. If he can play, he absolutely should play.

This was the best defensive performance the Bears have had under Fangio since he got here.

Dowell Loggains continues to be one of the worst play callers I've ever seen.

By the way, dumbass Loggais is too much of a moron to realize you could run a simple read option play on that 3rd and 1 and probably pick up the first down.

The Bears keep inventing new ways to lose games. Fire everybody.

Kyle Fuller is ballin' today. That pick 6 play was allowed to happen because of him. Got one back after the Ravens fluky return TD. Now, put this game away.

The Bears are about to ruin another good defensive performance because of a fluke play and an offense that can't get out of their own way.
