This is why we know they can be great. They were outplayed by GB but still only gave up 17 points and Fields had multiple opportunities to make a game of it.

OK well they both miss time then. I just find it funny that Bears fans act like Nate Davis is the only guy who misses time. (Not defending him in the least).

Nate Davis actually played more snaps on offense last year than Gordon on defense.

Well a starting OG would play more than a NB. I’m not sure how this is relevant to availability though.

They both miss time. Last year. This year. Year before last. One gets a negative comments the other gets a pass.

Your comment:
“So why doesn’t Gordon catch more shit? The guy has missed as much time than Davis.”
Is this true? No
Am I being pedantic? Yes.

I think that missing time for Nate Davis is more worthy of criticism because he has a much lower ceiling, and is being depended upon to protect the QB. So combined with the idea that Gordon is younger and better, the importance of the OL unit is greater than the importance of the DB unit.
Given that the OL improves as they get together, I think the extra scrutiny and following criticism for Davis missing time is very justified.

It feels like Davis skips any time he can. He's never been at voluntary practices and he's not good when he plays. Gordon has been at voluntary practices and has continued to improve when healthy. Davis inactivity feels like laziness whereas Gordon doesn't give off that same appearance
