... One of the things I find interesting about fans and even more so reporters, is giving past attributes to a current team and comparing them to previous seasons. As a Bears fan it is almost a prerequisite for many. "The Bears always __________" simply does not apply to a new coaching staff and a roster with well over 60% new players. Many of those players were not even alive when "The Bears always _________". Can't score in the red zone with Nagy and Trubisky has zero to do with Fields and Eberflus. I think this is what makes the beginning of a season so much fun. Finding out what this years team is all about. We have already seen some big upsets so in the next several weeks we will find out who is the real deal and who just had a really off/on week. 

Soooooo True!

1/2 the Hawks OLine is rookies or 2ond year guys, our corners are rooks, and Geno! Haha

plus a new defensive coordinator and a one year in offensive coordinator-

my season is already a success no matter what happens, because we beat Russell Wilson, haha

now don’t get me wrong, our chances of a good season are low. But, if we show growth from the kids and get a decent draft, we could have a great next decade. Plus I’ve got the Mariners tearing it up too, so I’m kind of in a great place sports wise…

gitterdun!!!

... Not sure I have ever seen any team start a season with rookies at both left and right tackle. And all things considered they did a great job.

Big week for the Browns. Finally draft a kicker that can absolutely boot the ball and it wins us the game! Defense and offense both tried to cough the game up in the second half after playing fantastic in the first. Just need to convert touchdowns vs field goals. The 2 headed monster of hunt and Chubb are well rested from last year and ready to roll!

... In the pre season game against the Bears York hit a few that would have been good from 65yds or longer. He is a real weapon.

Ok, ok, I’ve finally come down from the Bronco win, and able to put it more into perspective. We basically got outgained 2-1, and won by one after a really poor decision of not let your billion dollar QB try to get 5 yards, which they had been doing all night. We didn’t score in the second half and Geno got like 31 yards. Nobody could get open, and we couldn’t run to much either. 
so it might just be that one victory we all wanted so badly, and we get mauled by SF next week… orrrrr, they watch a lotta film and see why we stunk in the second half, maybe Geno has a good 2 half’s, and maybe we beat the 9’ers again. 
I think Chisag said it pretty well that drafting a QB first is a ver iffy proposition and many times a later pick becomes great. So I’m abandoning my “suck for Luck” platform, and now want to win every game again. So I will not be upset if we do suck, but will instead just give a nod to reality. But it’s just too hard to not cheer for your team no matter what!

... Well I applaud your change of heart and agree it is too hard not to cheer for your team no matter what. That is what it means to be a fan. That said putting all your eggs in one QB basket that has been on 4 different teams is a tough road. The Bears tried so many times to find that QB through trades and poor drafts and it is sooooo rare to find a near franchise QB that has played for more than 1 team. I think in todays NFL your QB has to have the ability to basically win the game on their own in the 4th qt when everyone knows they have to throw. Perfect example is Rogers that can fit the ball in a 2 foot window from 45 yds and win the game when the coverage is excellent. I know, few and far between but the teams that have that guy like the Chiefs, Chargers, Bucs, Bills, Bronco's and Packers are always in it til the last whistle. Obviously you know what that is like having Wilson that seemed like forever, so I think there may be an adjustment for your emotions this season.

Ok all you weekend prognosticators- week 2 is on the slate, and the Hawks play the 49’ers in Santa Clara, and rain is expected. Against the broncos and RW, the perfect storm happened and we killed em by 1.

im afraid the 49’s aren’t going to be in a giving mood, and it could be a learning experience for our rookie tackles. It will also be our rookie RB Kenneth Walkers first pro action. 
the Hawks have owned the miners for years for some reason, but they are 9 point dawgs this week and I’m not sure they’re ready for a really good defense and Debo Samuel. But conversely, they’ll be playing trey Lance who struggled mightily last week in the rain. I would take the Hawks and the points, but the pick em league doesn’t use spreads..

oh, and about last nights game, I think the chargers gave it away with the 14 point swing on the pic 6. KC was a lucky winner, but, I bet on them so all is good. But it just shows how one stinking play can completely alter the outcome…

... As far as betting goes, I HATE week 2 in the NFL. Bears beat the 49ers. Vikings embarrassed the Packers. Hawks clawed out a win vs the Broncos. So do the Packers bounce back against the Bears? Do the 49ers bounce back against the Hawks? Do the Vikings come back to earth against the Eagles? Do the Bronco's take out their frustration on the Texans or do the Texans play for another tie? All good questions with no good answers. That said, I did take the Bears and 10 points. 🤪

... Recreational leagues, high school and even colleges can display some sportsmanship and not run up the score. Although once you put in 2nd or 3rd team players you can't ask them to not play at 100%. Blame the "warm up" games big schools schedule against weak opponents. But the NFL is a business and as you said these are professionals and you never want to take your foot off the gas. Sure you can run more with a 35 point lead late in the 4th qt although not a prerequisite but never slow down or take it easy on an opponent.

So, as a die hard Raiders fan....... I have tried for many years to give Derek Carr the benefit of the doubt. There is absolutely no excuse for blowing a 20 point lead. He has arguably THE best WR in the game.... his buddy, no less. A top 3 TE and numerous other quality weapons at his disposal. I can no longer support him. He's a loser. He can not rally his steam. He shrinks under pressure. It's time to bench his a$$ and let another QB (Stidham) get a shot. Cut him loose next season and start over. I'm not at all impressed with McDaniels either.

Seems to me that the defense should get most of the blame.

... Tough situation to be in. You have a handful of franchise QB's then about 5 more that are almost franchise but can't seem to make it over that last hurdle. Carr and Cousins come to mind. The rest of the league struggles to find even a serviceable QB. The Bears have had 51 starters since the SB win while GB had Favre and Rogers. Most teams would be happy to have Carr until their team is good enough to win or at least compete for a SB and then that 2nd tier QB just isn't enough. That said, I am with you on McDaniels.

Derek Carr will be your Phillip Rivers.  Good enough to get you to 12-5 but don't get your hopes up on making it far in the playoffs.

... Yup, that's why I said a tough situation. Finding a better QB than Carr is really very difficult but sticking with him won't get you far. Again watching 51 starters in Chicago most fans would LOVE to have Carr, but after 3 or so seasons they would be screaming for his replacement. I think many fans just don't understand how difficult it is to play let alone excel as a QB in the NFL.

Joe Namath was a member at the club where I worked in Florida.  We played several rounds together during the football off season and would naturally, talk football.

This was at the time when Buffalo was living with JP Losman and Trent Edwards.  Noticeably frustrated he said the same thing you mentioned Sam, that finding an elite QB was incredibly difficult.  

This was 2004-2006 when it was Brady and Manning and Big Ben as the elites.

The next tier of Eli, Palmer and McNabb were still great but not great enough where they wouldn't get the business from their fans every Monday morning.

32 teams and 10% have elite QB's.

Trent Dilfer was the starting QB on a Superbowl winning team.  It is possible to build a SB winner with an elite defense but then your QB has to be smart enough that he can't lose it for you.  (see Denver in 2015 with Manning at QB)  I think the farther from elite that your defense is means your QB has to make up that difference.

I think that works in the past, but recently I think Stafford is about as weak as you can get a QB. Just can't shut down an offense like you used to with the rules enforced how they are now. It might still happen occasionally but much less frequently than in the past.

I am inclined to agree.  It did help that Kerry Collins was the opposing QB.  @ejgaudetteis also correct that you still need an intelligent and capable QB.

... 85 Bears could have won with me at QB  🤣  with that suffocating defense. But as others have said the rules have changed to favor the offense. Emphisis this season on illegal contact after 5 yards and we have seen it called much more than in the past. The powers that be want offense and scoring to dominate so the QB becomes even more important now.
