My gut says no. I think we beat them.

That depends on how we are able to perform offensively. Teddy has made some very poor decisions when he has seen a lot of pressure this season and Chicago has a similar pass rush to what we faced against Tampa(the game which he is responsible directly for the L). 

If we have any hope of beating him, we better find a way to handle that pass rush pressure.

They looked very exploitable against the run yesterday and struggled with their tackling. They are middle of the pack statistically in rush defense but they played the Lions, Falcons, And Giants who all haven’t run the ball much (they also played the colts who are right behind us near the middle). I think they are very much exploitable on the ground as the Bucs yesterday even pushed them around a bit with Ronald Jones. Will be interesting to see if CMC is healthy by that game (any news on this?).

However, they certainly can dial up a pass rush and their corners looked fairly physical. 
 

Also, every game they have won has been by 4 points or less. The Lions game should very much have been a loss as Deandre Swift simply dropped a ball in the end zone at the end of the game.

Foles is being heralded as a hero for the win but he made some atrocious throws and very heavily relied on simple check downs. The Bucs really beat themselves yesterday with penalties. That game was over yesterday with a Bucs win but for an iffy roughing the passer on a Bears third (or maybe 2nd?) and 30 which gave them a first down and ultimately resulted in the deciding field goal.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Actually I have always felt that using a qb to sneak was a huge mistake even for big guys. Do you remember when Cam sneaked the ball and got a helmet spear to the head and it wasn't even called. It is unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Everyone knows what you are going to do. Why not have a big guy or backup run the ball who is disposable? Yeah they know what is coming if you bring in a big guy. Like they don't if you keep the QB in...... Actually there are many more reasons not to sneak the ball with the qb versus using something else like New Orleans did who could still run or pass.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      you want me to provide evidence of his jump balls? Or bailing the pocket?  I don't think either of those claims requires me to show you evidence.  What do you want evidence of exactly?  never did I mention downfield throws.  I said, he gets blind to play at the lines because of his size (the quick stuff).  There are literally plays I don't have time to search for but have been highlighted on QB school where there is just no way he can see the options on certain plays even if wide open (talking behind and around the line of scrimmage).   Line too close paired with the receiving  option too close.  And the stat I referenced (which you can find on next gen stats) was he is below average at and behind the line of scrimmage....which I'm sure his size/vision plays a role in the why. I have an agenda? Cool.  Then so do you.  and again, Bryce's cherry picked best play (which isn't how anything works).....still leaves him on the low end of production.  I'm not overly bashing Bryce.  I just acknowledge, most signs point to him having a low ceiling.  And in the big picture, that's not the direction you want to go.  He is our QB for now.  I hope he improves.  Which in turn would allow our O and others to develop.   But to me, there isn't much of an argument that Bryce Young is anything but short term solution.

      Again where is the evidence. You keep saying it but honestly you have shown no evidence. Unless you know what he was supposed to do and then what he did do, you don't know anything about his intentions and or forced changes due to height. His completion percentage for passes from 1 to 10 yards was only slightly lower than his best percentage which was 10 to 20 yards passing.  Not enough of a difference to be significantly different.  Truth is you have an agenda that you try to justify despite any evidence to the contrary. Many of us felt the same way but have allowed his actual play to inform our opinion. I still would have picked Stroud over Bryce but I am willing to keep an open mind and see what is there instead of filtering everything through my biases and already polarized opinions.
