Actually, most I have encountered are Tarheel fans. I agree though, totally unbearable.

Because we don't have a first round pick? I'm not a tanker, but the purpose of tanking is to get the #1 overall draft pick of which the Bears will enjoy selecting on our behalf.

It's execution and ill-fit personnel. Granted there's not a lot of misdirection, motion, exotic looks etc... but these guys can't even execute the plays effectively and consistently in these basic looks. I mean if you can't make food in a microwave properly, then you shouldn't be attempting to prepare a scratch four-course meal. There's so much turnover/change that needs to happen with this offense, it's almost too much of a task to do half way through the season. This is definitely an offseason overhaul.

Bryce isn't doing himself any favors. It isn't like he's an innocent bystander in this poo show. He's as culpable in the offensive sputtering as the WRs, RBs, TEs and OL. I call it as I see it and if he were the lone exception in this dreadful offense, I'd say so, but he's not.

The team is going to have to bring in the loud speakers to practice versus crowd noise for OUR home game, lol!

Dalton should be like...

That would take humility and I don't think Tepper knows what that is. If he gave Rhule, who obviously had no clue what he was doing, that amount of leash then Reich should at least get a second season. If coaches got routinely canned after a less than productive first season, the turnover in the NFL would be even higher than it is now.

Might be less painful, at least emotionally.

I relaxed, did some yard work work and enjoyed not being pissed off for 3 solid hours.

How a bout GM? Fitterer needs to go before Frank. Frank inherited the bulk of the roster and is trying to make filet mignon out of gas station beef jerky.

So we haven't been using bubble screens? What team have I been watching the past 9 weeks who uses a sh*t ton of bubble screens? RPOs only work if you have an effective running game. We do not. So what was the point of this article again? Oh yeah, we suck and no one is happy.

If I'm Dalton, I'm like 'let the kid play' he's not going to learn getting benched--uh, twists and ankle, against good teams.

Here's a link: https://gbnreport.com/2024-qb-ranking/ There's a lot of talent here. We'd be dumb not to take a stab.

Tepper only has himself to blame. He wanted this: but got this:

I've got a slate of things to do this afternoon, none of which involves watching football.

Why don' they give the kid on the practice squad a try, Wright? Dude caught everything that was thrown his way in camp and preseason games.

Weinke was a 4th rounder, Clausen a 2nd rounder and now the #1 overall pick. Bryce should be performing better.

Bubble screens only work when you spread out the defense and they have to worry about the back end. No team respects Bryce's deep ball. NONE of them. Defenses know they can just worry about what's in front of them and that's why the bubble screens get smothered because they can play downhill.

Nobody was going. We actually have a free Sunday not to have watch this train wreck. Why waste it? Also it didn't make sense to protest when literally none of the front office people are there. Did the organizers think that Tepper would fly in for the protest?

The 2001 team was scrappy, but couldn't seal the deal at the end of games. They didn't look like a one win team until the last couple of games when they clearly packed it in. That '01 squad really could have been a 5 win team if they win several of the one score games that ended up as losses. It wasn't a horrible roster, but Seifert's decision to discard Steve Beuerlein in favor of a new QB was the deal breaker. If Steve was still the QB, I'm not saying playoffs, but at least a .500 team. The common thread in all three seasons, rookie QBs who look bad, REALLY bad.

Will we have the cajones to 'Josh Rosen' Bryce Young?

Wrong and/or inferior ingredients ruin the recipe.

Hard to win when you QB averages 1 TD a game. Not too many games can be won with one TD per game and then leaning on your FG kicker to make up the difference while most key members of the defense are on IR.

A failed 4th down ended the game anyway. It's not like if we got a 3 and out on defense we could march the ball down field in time even if we did get the ball back. Couldn't do it all night long with all the time in the world and time outs.

Bingo. The problem wasn't the play caller as much as the players. OL penalties and allowing little time, sorry WRs (AT withstanding), lacking a power/bell cow back and no TE threat to speak of. Oh, did I mention a rookie QB who is playing very much like a rookie QB? I'm not sure what kind of fire power folks thought we had on that side of the ball, but it's clearly lacking.
