Agree with what hiber says. IMHO

1. The Bears 1st string offense is not good enough to compete with the better teams right now. I think their 3 series are a microcosm of the season to come. Slow start, improvement but in the end not quite enough to get across the finish line. The real test will be next year to see if they can build on any momentum from this year....

2. The Bears 1st string defense (minus a few starters) looked a little slow and tentative when facing Mahomes and the KC starters. They seemed to lack energy. The 2nd and 3rd stringers after the half however (and the team in general) were flying around in the 2nd half. They looked psyched and pumped up. Wonder what the halftime locker room rant was ? Would like to see that energy in the 1st half as well in the future....

3. This team pleasantly surprised me. They look... competently coached. Maybe its Bears Fandom Stockholm Syndrome or something but I feel a lot better about the team today than yesterday. Are they very good ? No. But I think they have a decent chance to be very good.

4. As an aside, they showed Nagy on the sidelines (visor and all) and he had a small play sheet and headset on. I wonder if he was actually calling/relaying plays in the 2nd half- that could also explain the utter incompetence of the 2nd half Chiefs offense. It sure looked like it did under his tenure here, that's for sure :D

Lets see them build on this as the year progresses and see where this ride takes us....

Go Bears !
