Pretty accurate take. The Oline had one of their worse games in the last series of games and looked a lot more like they did during the opening few games. Unlike early in the season , Fields is managing to still put some plays out there but you can't expect to beat good teams when your QB is getting hit while receivers aren't even out of their breaks yet. I'm of the opinion the Leatherwood experiment can probably end pretty quickly. He just looks bad and this is giving me even more doubt in Poles talent finding ability.

i don’t think any bears fan hasn’t known that our o-line has sucked since at least 2005. Get over yourselves

I liked when Jerry Angelo sourced John Tait, a RT, to be the Bears LT. those 2005-2006 lines were pretty good but they were totally made up of other teams castoffs.
I don't remember the final total but I know Fields was sacked at least 6 times. that's like '85 Bears demolishing quarterbacks into the 3rd string level numbers, for posterity. the Bears, one of the league's worst teams, lost to the #1 overall team by 5 points. props to the Bears defense for trying hard to hold it together.

Lol. Adding Leatherwood was a no-brainer. If he pans out(he won’t) then it’s a low risk, high reward acquisition. If he bombs(he is) then cut him with minimal penalty. It just simply didn’t work out. He used very little resources to acquire a recent 1st round pick.

Tait, miller, brown, and kreutz were okay through 2005, arguably 2006. After that, we haven’t really had a line

Big John Tait did a great job at LT. I was sad when he retired.

Oof, Whitehair and Leatherwood. They didn't just get beat, they got destroyed.

just strange how rather than just drafting a left tackle, you know something instead of Cedric Benson at #4 overall, they used him out of position instead. team was a total clown car with Lovie Smith, Ron Turner, and Jerry Angelo. the one guy that was probably the most important factor in getting them to the Super Bowl is the guy they just let walk for reasoning I don't remember, but it was probably money something.
they could've won that Super Bowl if they kept running the ball. dickheads.
