Baker Mayfield ran better than Justin Fields.  Teams have not only figured out how to stop Fields throwing the ball - he can't even run the ball any longer.

Instead of taking off when he sees no one open - he's been told to stay in the pocket longer...so he does and takes the sack.

Ive been a supporter of Braxton Jones but he singlehanddidly destroyed one drive.  Whitehair was owned out there.  The only guy I didn't notice getting beat was Carter the RG.  But I'll wait for the grades.   The thing is, they all take turns screwing up.

Tyrique Stevenson was beat on at least a couple plays.  Though one wasn't his fault - he was forearmed out of the play.  But he was beaten badly on the Bucs TD in the corner.

Defense was horrid especially the tackling but somehow kept the Bears in the game until the end.   

Hard to come up with any good performances.  Herbert and RJ had some good runs.  Claypool redeemed himself with the TD.  Green had the FG block.  Not much else.

Any decent coach should've seen how bad this team is, and should've been playing the starters every preseason game.. It's been hard to watch up to now, I can only imagine the train wreck coming this next weekend..

 The beauty of the upcoming game at K.C. is we already knows the outcome.

 So no need for anxiety apprehension or alarm.

 Kick back and enjoy it the way you did when you revved an old engine until you planted a connecting rod thru the oil pan.

 There ... that feels better already doesn't it ?

...stepped on a pop top...

Anyone see Matt LaFleur consoling Love after the Atlanta loss on the sidelines.  I bet he whispered in his ear, "It's OK kid.  You can't play against Chicago's defense every week."

Well blame whom ever you like but "mentally" the line was fixed after the draft, but sometimes appearances on paper just dont work well in practice.

So now our great Defensive Coordinator Alan Williams resigned. I guess we can blame defensive problems on HIS loss as to why the defense isnt working correctly

as we dreamed it would

I like the longterm outlook of the O-line once they all become healthy.

The  problem is it may never reach that point as it was drawn up on paper. Injuries are always going to happen.

 Not like with this team , these motherfuuckers were walking wounded in training camp.

 Who do you hold responsible for out of shape players in training camp ?

 I know who    do you know who ?
