Thats good but what’s more important than giving up so many points? The turnover TDs are not sustainable. Can’t count on them. And then all you’re left with is a defense that opens the flood gates for their opponents in the second half. Let’s see if the Rams don’t take advantage of that weak 2nd half D.

Huh? Not seeing his impact. Think the Bears could probably achieve #24, in 2nd half scoring allowed, without him. Hell, they achieved #1 without him last year.

Isn't that a quote from a Mel Gibson movie. Straight from the script.

Nope, fuck Mel Gibson. Especially after that hilariously horrible movie - The Beaver. Was that supposed to a drama?. As bad as that movie where Sean Penn was a Special person lol

As Einstein said "reality is merely an illusion albeit a very persistent one". With that being said - all we have IS our perception. Maybe OP can retitle this thread before the idiot police shut down CCS because of it???

You could convince me if you get me the stat with the average lead entering the 2nd half vs. last year.
Defense seems stingy when a team is running out the clock and protecting a lead. Just like a defense seems soft when you are leading and the opponent is playing catch-up.
Then check these measurements against leadwide stats of high 1st half leading teams and the scoring defense in the second half.
Once you find correlation, or not, it will either support or detract from your argument.

No, you have the ability to know the truth. You must choose to use it. There is right and wrong perception.

Hmm a matter of semantics in my mind.
To me - perception knows no right and no wrong. In my mind - perception can be defined as the becoming aware of something through our senses. Our senses can't decipher truths and non truths they just react in a more simple manner. You seem to be talking about using reasoning to make sense of a perception.

OP makes fair points, but couldn't any fan in the NFL write such an analysis about their team? It's true we can have "homer goggles" as fans, but we're also more critical of our own team. The Rams only have 1 loss, but I could a see a Rams fan writing a post about how the D gave up over 50 points, their schedule has been weak, and the Rams aren't as good New Orleans. Now I wouldn't take that position. They are a one-loss team after all. But I could see a Rams message boarder writing up something like that because fans find the flaws. Also, a team can be flawed and still compete for a Super Bowl if you make the playoffs. The 2007 Patriots were better than the 2007 Giants. But the 2007 Giants did on that day, at that time, with David Tyree. So Bears...just get in, and then let's see what happens!

Makes no sense at all. Why would you want to do that for the Bears but not the other 23 teams in front of them?
I sincerely doubt the Bears plan to limit teams in the first half just so they can give up a ton of points in the 2nd half. I would also put more importance on limiting points in the second half, where close games are won and lost. Keep giving up a lot of 2nd half points and you start getting upset by real bad teams like the Dolphins and Giants.

Perception and reality are also not mutually exclusive.
