The ghost of Andy Dalton absolutely balling for Carolina today. That's a really tough look for Bryce Young

They won 1 game against another team that’s terrible. They’ll still finish the worst team in my opinion.
Let's give it more than one game. I feel like this weird shit happens to the Raiders all the time.

Lol man. If only we all knew that Eberflus was a f***ing clown LAST year. Now we are here.. again. He's hired a meh OC again, wooo hoooo.
The offensive coaching has really never been worse. Several of us wanted Eberflus canned last season. He's not a head coach. He's a glorified defensive coordinator, masquerading as one(story of my life for the Bears, honestly). He clearly has no clue about the offensive side of the ball. The schemes and play calling is probably worse than it was under Getsy. Their offensive line is trash, and they continue to run plays that require a line they just don't have. All these pitches to the outside. All these passing plays that require several seconds of a clean pocket for routes to develop. More garbage screens. Not enough quick passing. Not enough power running plays. You have arguably a great receiving corps when including Kmet, and guys are never open? Why? Swift continues to get most of the snaps, even though Herbert and Johnson have shown themselves to be much more effective running backs....
This organization is just a joke. They're going to waste another high draft pick QB because they just can't hire the right offensive coaching, or build an offensive line.
Caleb Williams will waste his rookie season with an OC and coaching staff that probably isn't here next season.

Everything starts and stops with Poles.
chicago.suntimes.com
Last pre-season, Poles claimed his rebuild was 75-80% complete. That was with Claypool on board, and before Sweat.
A high-school play call by offensive coordinator Shane Waldron leads to a Bears loss to the Colts
That and bad blocking spell doom for a team that had higher hopes than a 1-2 start

It’s really crazy as we watch functioning offenses all around the league and the Bears have never had one
This is your offensive line. The sooner you realize you can't run idiotic plays like this, the sooner this team stops losing. Four assholes on the ground, five Colts in the backfield. Just f***ing lol.

That’s one of the most damning photos you’ll ever see
Refs letting the KC Swifts get away with murder
Coulda been blocked perfectly and they still would have had two guys on the edge ready for it. Just a dumb play on 4th and inches.
The entire sequence was pathetic and should get Waldron fired.

Btw. Was thinking about Taylor. He’s been pretty average so far. Maybe taking a punter in the 4th round and ignoring the oline wasn’t such a great idea

Disagree vehemently with this claim
We have seen WR's open these first 3 games the problem is Williams has badly overthrown/underthrown them or outright is not on same page
All these WR's and other offensive players aren't to blame for Williams struggles to seemingly process game at NFL level and confusion
He is a rookie so naturally there will be issues, but no one can deny there are worrying things he has shown thus far and ring back to some critics of his NCAA years and in leadup to draft
The primary criticism in college was holding the ball too long and playing hero ball, ostensibly because he didn't have the ability to play in structure. We haven't really seen that at all so far. Accuracy and miscommunication are early concerns to be sure but neither is a processing issue or an indictment on his ability to make plays from the pocket.
Like his 4th quarter last night was a better display of stringing quick and accurate reads together than I can remember either of the last two guys doing in three years apiece. There's good stuff to go with the concerns.

Williams has a lot to work on, but yesterday's performance is the most any QB has thrown for in a single game so far this year and he played really well in the 4th Q. That's more yards than Fields ever threw for in a single game as a Bear, who only threw for 300+ yards once in 40 games as a Bear.
Bears play The Rams so far only have 4 sacks on the season (only 4 teams have less) and are giving up 425 yards per game so far.

A lot of his yards can kind of be waived by the flukiness of the hail mary attempt, but Williams definitely showed improvement this week. Very good sign. I'd say that not taking steps forward by weeks 4-6 would be grounds for concern, but first step thankfully made.
I'd say his internal timing is his biggest area that needs to be addressed. His overthrow problems seem to me like his head's still racing and, as a result, his timing is a second or so slower than reality.

I heard a good one. Apparently Pro Football Focus has created a new stat called AIPC - Average Inches Per Carry - so they can grade out DeAndre Swift
It's his first season, with a total imbecile for an offensive coordinator, and a dogshit offensive line. I'd say not taking steps forward by season 2 weeks 4-6 would be grounds for concern. The fact that he's taking steps forward in this situation should make people feel really good about him...

Poles has been in Chicago for three sodding years and this is what the bloody line looks like?! SMH.
And ...wasn't he actually an offensive lineman? Granted, a terrible one, but still.
