if Mooney and ARob both catch the ball like they are supposed to, you don’t think we score another 10-14 points ?

This is Bears football. Good defense, mediocre offense and a coach that needs to get fired.

At least with Lovie, we had great Special Teams to go along with all that.

This isn't a "narrative" game I'm playing. Objectively speaking those drops change our mood if they are caught and result in scores, but there was plenty of offensive miscues to disappoint and underwhelm, from both Feilds and Nagy. I'm more concerned with Nagy. Feilds is a rookie and fullt looked like one yesterday.

Yeah, that's a good point. But, where were those massive holes for Monty?

Everything you say here is 100 percent correct. In fact, by his own admission, the rookie QB said he wasn't happy with how he played yesterday. We want that. We want him being honest and wanting to improve. One other thought I had is a few other rookie QBs struggled yesterday, and just as we shouldn't judge our rookie QB too soon, others shouldn't give up on people like Mac Jones, Trevor Lawrence, etc. Most of the time, rookies QB are going to have their growing pains when it's live fire, something you can't simulate in practice because you don't have 320 pound Otis MFers trying to break your ribs. Those growing pains however will hopefully produce franchise QBs, and I think all three of those guys mentioned will evolve.
At some point, probably next season when he's starting from day one in training camp, rookie QB will absolutely look like a franchise QB. That doesn't mean he won't show flashes of brilliance before then, because he will (they all will). But rookie QB is going to make some mistakes as well. Let's get the rookie mistakes out of the way as soon as possible, before we lose half the defense to age and attrition.
The most concerning thing he said in that press-conference above (at least in my opinion) is when he was discussing his scramble, he stated that nobody was open. There's either something amiss with the receivers not getting separation or with the play-calling (duh), or both. Either way, I think the Bears are a couple more players on the offensive-line and at the wide-receiver position away from truly being a dangerous offensive team.
Other thoughts:
- It appeared to me that Nagy deliberately called plays to keep Fields in the pocket, I think trying to get him used to live NFL fire
- Is Mooney showing signs of a sophomore slump?
- Where are the tight-end receptions?
- Angelo Blackson stood out to me on defense on a few plays. That was a good signing.
- It was nice to see Quinn do a little somethin' somethin'
- Jaylon Johnson is a good CB
- Duke Shelley, not -so-much
- Why haven't we sent Marquis Goodman deep yet?

Many have been concerned with Nagy, nothing has changed there.
Looking forward to seeing Fields’ command of the offense with a full week of preparation knowing he’s the guy and a gameplan that caters to his skillset. I really think the combination of Fields mobility and the way he can attack every part of the field will open everything up.
The Browns are ripe for an upset.

No he didn't. Fields obviously holds onto the ball too long, and the INT was certainly Mitch-like, but there were a few balls that his WRs didn't do him any favors on. The Mooney play would've been a difficult catch, but it was still there for him and he has to make that grab. Arob's miss was egregious. You expect a WR of A-Rob's stature to make that play. Him being thrust mid-game probably didn't help, but I'd like to see how he looks after a full week of practice. If he starts next week, I'm not expecting much against a pretty good Browns team on the road though.

It was a typical Bears win.
Defense did their thing. Absolutely putrid dogshit offense.
Wins are hard to come by, so I know we shouldn't be too disappointed, but for once in my life I'd just like this team to compete in both phases. If Mooney and Arob come down with those passes, who knows though. Maybe we'd be feeling a little better.

One thing's for sure. If the offense performs like this next week vs Cleveland, we might as well hand Baker Mayfield a Browns flag for him to post in the middle of Soldier Field.

The game is in Cleveland. Remember that the Bears have no home-to-home or away-to-away games this year. But yeah, I'm expecting the Browns' offense to have their way with this Bears defense. The D's performance against Cincinnati was fool's gold. Yes, I know I'm a buzzkill.

Fields would have scored two more touchdowns if there weren't drops. Not to mention he can scramble for a first down pretty much at will. Sure he's rough, he's a rookie. But he's WAY better than Dalton.

Im not sure how or where he looked way better? If the qb had a 10 on and lighter skin, he would have looked exactly like Mitch..

No way Mitch could pull off that haircut.
