Generally, when a team scores the other team is allowed possession.
I agree, especially when you consider the investment in the D line.
But, statistically (I think) our D is out performing our O
IMO, offense is more of the issue. Our D is built to be elite at defending the pass to compliment our explosive offense that should have teams chasing points. When our O is not working, it allows teams to be content pounding us on the ground.
This is the kind of stuff that happens when you have a superstar QB taking up so much of your cap, they have to make up for deficiencies elsewhere. Show me the perfect teams out there?
lol, I think this place is more negative now than when we sucked for 20 years.
If the Bears had drafted Mahomes, it would have been a fantastic trade. It didn't work out because Trubisky busted. But, IMO, the logic was sound. Pay that money with a promising QB on a rookie deal.
In general you can't predict injuries. But we saw first hand that Sammy didn't take care of himself physically and that shows up in all the nagging injuries. I mean the guy was out playing pickup basketball games at LA Fitness while he was too injured to play football. Idiot removed his own cast a home too... Identifying proper character goes into making a draft pick.
Imagine, everyone's favorite whipping boy, Dropson Knox, and a raw rookie 5th round pick- with a year plus playing experience at the FCS level after transitioning from playing TE in 8 man football- being so important to this team.
