I recall all off-season after the schedules came out that people predicted the team was not going to be good enough to win at the start of the season. We had a treacherous run to begin with.
- People did not expect Glennon to be good... yet many of us had/has hopes that he can at least be adequate. Through two games he has played well and been adequate... except for a couple costly passes. At the time he threw his first INT today... he hadn't missed a pass yet... his first miss was the INT.
- Having lost the teams top WRs due to either them moving on... or injury... who... and I mean WHO expects the passing game to click??? It doesn't matter who the QB is out there... he has no weapons to throw too. Alshon Jefferies should have been the corner stone of our recieving corp..... blame Fox all you want.. but he didn't make Alshon leave... Alshon didn't want to be a Bear. if he had been here this year... he is a weapon... unless he followed the trend and joined the other WRS and got hurt again.
- Last week... Fox did not blow the coverage on that long TD the Falcons scored on... nor did he drop passes during the final drive. Both situations would have had the Bears coming into this game 1-0. Mental F'ups by players should not be blamed on the coach.
- We knew coming into the season that this team still had issues... no WRS... a bunch of band aids and virtual rookies in the secondary... an improved OL which is banged up to the point it may be a liability now... even the 'strong front seven' on defense are banged up and short a number or two.
Having gone through this in the past with the Bears... having good WRs and a weak QB is no different than having a good QB but no WRs..... and that's what this offense is facing.
Sending Trubinsky out there now.. is setting him up to fail. Sending him out there now with a banged up OL is setting him up to get hurt.
Let's just hunker in... that the punishment of the chin... look at this season as a prelude to next. Better draft. Good FA crop at WR.
Go..... Bears.
