Time To Focus Our Attention On Da Bears

No pass rush + trying to cover Marshall, Jeffery , Bennett.....and Forte out of the backfield?

Bears have best WR duo in the league paired with one the most well rounded RBs. Tough task for a struggling D

They've got issues too. Blasted in their last game to a Packers team that had looked like chit and lost to EJ Manuel (who's now holding a clipboard) at home. No excuses. We need and I expect will get, this win.

The Panthers from week 1 and 2 have a very good chance of beating da Bears.  On the flip side, if we the same Panthers of the last two weeks, we're doomed.

 

Got to run block better.  Got to keep the LBs free to make plays.  Go back to playing Panther football, and we can beat the Bears...

 

It's pretty simple there.  I hope that the team sits down and has a good long look at what we were doing wrong, fixes it, and physically beat the Bears.  Hopefully we'll be 3-2 next Monday instead of 2-3.

I saw the last 2 as winnable games as well and then the games happened........

 

 

 

We just had 2 games in a row where all 3 phases of the game haven't showed up.  It's frustrating to me because no matter the atrocious line play,  Cam has played really well when he has time.  

 

If our running game/defense show up and our special teams doesn't turn the ball over we can win this game.  However if we aren't going to have any semblance of a running game then it's going to be a long day.......again.

We're definitely capable of beating this bears team. But this team has given me no reason to think that they will.

Chicago is alot like Detroit so we'll need a strong game from our secondary and that doesn't make me feel overly confident.

I wonder if the Bears will stick the rookie on our rookie. A Fuller/Benjamin matchup could be fun to watch.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
