Eberlus keeps referring to the defense cupping the ball, and I can’t tell if he’s serious or just trying to screw with the media to write about the defense cupping balls.

All we shoulda did was draft Patrick mahomes….

It could have easily been 27-20 when we kicked the onside kick had we not gone for it on their 30 early in the second half and kicked 2 field goals when we had the chance.

I don’t know how we as fans can watch teams effortlessly match up and down the field on us and then complain:

1. The starting QB sucks

2. 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.

Most games teams don’t score on their first drive, matter of fact NFL teams on average score on 37.9% of their drives. Of their drives they score touchdowns on 21.9%.

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

Our defense hurts us worse than our offense does, the expected points our defense created -169.13(1st)

Knockdowns 20(32)

Sacks 20(32)

Pressures 85(32)

Average starting field position 28.9

Average drive time 2:56 only two teams were worse(rams, falcons)

2.45 pts per drive highest in NFL

Defense sucks big time. Can’t even finish a fucking tackle and that’s literally basic football for them. It was unreal.

There is no fire from anyone at all. Nobody seems to give a damn outside of DJ, Mooney, Kmet and JJ. I get that there’s life outside of football, but man it would be nice to see a coach and team that plays with pride in themselves at the very least. They get embarrassed every other week and it never phases them. Everyone sits and takes it and sulks on the bench or chops it up like it’s a Sunday afternoon cookout. You’d think at some point Flus would grow some balls and start holding people accountable, considering his job is on the line, but even he seems like he doesn’t wanna be there anymore. It is an outright disgrace.

What pisses me off more than anything is how they sewed Butkus’ number onto their jerseys after he passed. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a great gesture and obviously like the idea of honoring him as much as possible, but as a coach I’d be outright livid that we play like that wearing 51 on our chests. Representing a guy who did so much for the team and was tougher than anybody, never gave up and always fought as hard as he could. It’s absolutely disgusting to watch these players/coaches mail it in over and over when things get hard. The staff are cowards and the players aren’t preparing enough to do the right things.

They don’t deserve to be wearing 51 if they’re gonna play like that, Butkus would never tolerate the bullshit that goes on at Halas if he were in his prime and on the team right now. He would make damn sure of that, I know for a fact.
