That's what happens when you intentionally nuke your roster by trading your two stars mid-season after getting rid of your other pro bowler (mack) prior to the season and also get injuries in your secondary.

But we have the #1 overall, a clear franchise quarterback for the first time ever, and a shit ton of cap space... so that's something.

And a 100 year old owner who is more focused on moving the team out of the city than building a winning team. Tickets are going to sell regardless of the success of the team. They can make more money in Arlington Heights than they can by winning the Superbowl. So that is where the focus is.

Excluding the logistical issues, the City of Chicago had every chance to resolve their issues. They chose not to, numerous times.

Politics aside - Good on Ted to move them out.

Heard the front office was toying with the idea of fielding actual bears next year. Can’t do worse than the humans did this season!

I mean. In a lot of ways they can only do better.

After the first few ‘roughing the passer’ penalties each game the other team will probably have run out of living QBs and defense will become considerably easier

We were solid.

The Lions kept the floor warm for the first several cycles. I wouldn’t feel too bad.
