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

I don’t want to be good. I’m comfortable as a loser.

  1. the first string QB sucks
  2. the rookie QB sucks
  3. the defense sucks

In the modern NFL, 1 is the biggest problem and most difficult to fix long-term
