It's week two and I don't think I've ever seen this bad on any Bears message board in 12 years of Bears message board posting.
I get it the Bears lost a game no one thought they would lose but we knew this was possible heading into the season that this team would win games you figured thru couldn't win and lose games they shouldn't lose. It's freaking week two in a season you knew damn well it would take a miracle for this team to make the playoffs.
Basics on what we know:
Cutler is still Cutler, if you thought lost years bit of being a game manager was going to be the new norm for the end of the Jay Cutler era you only fooled yourself. If you thought Loggains was going to be as good as Ryan Pace you fooled yourself or were fooled by someone.
Jeremy Langford is not Matt Forte and he's being hurt by a whole new level of incompetence at OC.
Kevin White is a rookie.
Zach Miller is what Josh McCown was when he caught lightning in a bottle.
Whitehair is a rookie.
Massie makes the line better by moving Long back to right guard and that's about all he does.
Floyd is a rookie
The secondary is better than last year and it looks like Fangio can take any mid round DB and turn him into a average to good player almost immediately.
The biggest disappointment is the injuries and likely the sheer incompetence of Loggains.
The gruesome reality is simple, for the Bears to be a playoff caliber team every single new or key player would have had to have an instant major impact or a career year in the case of Massie Miller Cutler. Or the young players would have to immediately prove productive after little to no experience.
It was too much to hope for and the playoffs are not and never were a real consideration. If you thought so then someone fooled you.
