Ryan Poles was not tasked with assembling a team of world beaters. he literally was instructed to balance the books. what part of this team was not meant to go to the playoffs do you people not understand? it was accepted back in like February that was the plan for this year. did you expect the Bears to be undefeated right now?
I took the under on Bears to win 6.5 games. I fully expected them to look like they have offensively and am still surprised they've won 2 games.
That said, I still am in awe of how truly inept they are offensively as a unit. The last few minutes of the game showed that perfectly. 3rd and 2 at mid-field and you get stuffed for no gain. It's an 8 point game with 3 minutes left, and you punt. Despite this, you somehow get a stop and then your big acquisition on offense muffs a punt.
Earlier in the half, Fields throws a pass to the tight end Wesco, dropped. Next play, perfect pass to Pettis, dropped. End of drive.
