It looks like the Chicago Bears defense is going to be good this year even though I don’t know if they will be truly elite like they were last year. Still, that is alright you can win a lot of games and a Super Bowl with a really good defense.

The problem is, when you do that you need a play caller who knows who deserves the ball and/or a quarterback who can take over games every now and then.

The Bears have neither of those things.

Mitch Trubisky looks bad, like bottom-3 QB in the NFL bad. He is actively holding his team hostage and the coaches have to do a better job getting the ball to David Montgomery and Allen Robinson who seem to be the only guys who can make that offense move.

If you can’t beat Aaron Rodgers when you hold him to is lowest point total since late 2016, you are in big trouble against a team that isn’t run by former Titans OC Matt LaFleur.
