Defense is terrible. I get that Johnson and Gordon are out, but Gardner-Johnson is comparable to Gordon. So you are down one guy, the defense should not be this bad. I blame Poles. Coaches can only do so much. 

Wright was and still is a liability on the CB position.  Got beat horribly on that last TD .  
 

Understanding the hate for Poles what more could he have done for the defense?  He had a prime directive to improve the offense and then started by hiring the most sought after coach in Johnson.  Then to appease Johnson and his 12 offense concept, drafted a TE in the #1 spot.  He also got a replacement (and 1st round talent) for Moore with Bolden.  Were they wasted picks?  Maybe - hindsight it is what it is. But to help the defense he hired “one of the best defensive minds the NFL” in Allen, signed a few key FAs (Jarrett among them) and you should see some improvement in your defense , even if it is minimal. Yet here we are .

10 Pass Attempts, 11 Rushing Attempts, and 2 Scrambles (Pass play), so about as close as you can get to 50/50 mix. This is about as optimal as you can get. 

Is there a way to break that down on red zone offense performance?  If anyone can I would think you could. 

And a nice series and sweet looking TD to start the half. So far so good with the scripted plays.

The Offense has over 400 total yards with 2 mins left in the 3rd Quarter, over 200 in the air and 200 on the ground with a time of possession of 29 minutes to the Bengals 13. 

The Bears have a 58% conversion rate on 3rd Down.

IF we keep winning, none of his bad decisions will matter.
