What if he could reliably kick it out of the endzone? Do you still think we should onside kick it?

54 is no gimme, but yes, kickers are nailing 55-60 these days on a somewhat regular basis.

Are we happy with the defense effort today?

They’re 85+ percent on 50-59 yarders.
Love Santos. Not suggesting he get kicked to the curb. But the league has passed him by. He’s no longer one of the 10-15 best kickers.

I think so. They can only do so much. Dudes were gassed. Three turnovers. Held INDY several times. Maybe a few more sacks, and we got gashed on a few big plays, but AR is always dangerous.

I mean I feel like progress is being made. Obviously a ways to go.

A 56 yarder is not being made consistently league wide.
They’re being made more often than in the past but it’s no gimme.

Agree. I'm actually getting pretty worried about the offense though. Bears can't run for shit. The Bears don't need to have Williams throw 52 times. And of course Williams and the receivers will have good numbers of you throw 52 times, but this fucking running game is pathetic.

You're not wrong, but unfortunately the Bears (hopefully) learned their lesson with Gould in that you dont move on from a kicker until you already have a good replacement on the roster. And their might be a whopping 7-8 starting positions on the team that need upgrades way more urgently than "finding kicker who can hit 55-60 yards".

It was a rookie performance but he showed flashes in the second half finally. It’s going to be a long season unfortunately with no running game, this offensive line, and this coaching staff.

Have they been able to run the ball from four fucking yards out they would’ve won the game.
For all the other shit we are complaining about if they could run the ball four fucking yards against the worst run defense in the league they likely leave with a W

Not with the 2nd half. They seemed to mail it in on a few posessions. You have to be better at stopping the rushing attack of a team with dreadful QB play. Yet we allowed them 150 yards and 4.5 YPC.

I was behind and finally caught up. This game will create lots to talk about but as weird as this game was the turning point was an offsides penalty by the Bears punt return team that gave the Colts a 1st down.
Almost the end of the 3rd quarter the score was still 7 to 3 and bears about to get the ball back. After the penalty the defense came back flat and never recovered. That was the game. The Colts offense was dead before that and the penalty completely deflated the defense. Lots of big things to discus but little things will cost you a game.

You think giving the ball away is progress?

I like the progress. I don't think you can expect him to get better at any one thing from week to week, but this week was a good one to build upon. This week, when they review the game tape, Williams will have more good plays to review than he had in the preceding two weeks combined.

Bears are one draft from being really good IMO. OL is last piece that needs fixing and we have 3 picks in first 2 rounds. This year is about Caleb and Rome developing.
