Justin Fields is a good QB. The best the Bears have had. But he is not clutch and has yet to prove he can be with the team as it is currently constructed.....
Poles wasted a high second round pick on a guy who they won't use the right way. Most of his other FA are shaky at best. At least he looks like he hit on UDFA Sanborn......
When the Bears were still up by 2 and they completed that pass into FG range, I said to myself- they are going to call plays and settle for a FG. It was "Game Over" and they promptly missed the kick and did lose. I had NO faith the D would keep the Packers from scoring.
My fear now that the Bears "brain trust" (and I use that term loosely) will now start to believe they can get away with the offense as it is and promptly over-correct the defense with draft and FA capital. BOTH need to be addressed greatly. The lack of talent is readily apparent on both sides of the ball in key positions. They do play hard, though, and imagine if they had a little more horsepower on both sides of the ball......
But so far the Flus legacy is for this team to play hard and lose. They are becoming the lovable losers. Its a bad trait that is becoming a habit (whether due to bad officiating, bad decisions, dipshit special team failures etc).....
The squandering of the Halas Legacy of wins belongs squarely in the fumbling hands of the McCaskey family.....
