I don’t know how we as fans can watch teams effortlessly match up and down the field on us and then complain:
The starting QB sucks
The backup QB sucks
How about the defense doesn’t get stops consistent enough that we aren’t down 10-14 points early damn near every game.
Stats are from 2022.

The Bears defense allowed scores on 41.8% of their defensive drives
The only team that was worse than us were the Falcons at 43.5
