southsider2k5 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 4 hours ago, chitown87 said: It’s shocking how consistently bad our special teams is - particularly on kickoff coverage. We scored a big touchdown in the second half yesterday to get back in the game, and immediately allowed the return out to almost midfield. The defense forced a punt on that drive, but the resulting awful field position helped lead to the interception inside our own ten yard line. Duvernet did have one unusually nice return, but also put the ball on the ground and was fortunate to recover it. Overall it feels like special teams is consistently putting us at a disadvantage. Special teams has to be about the worst in the NFL. They are terrible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully whatever the injury is - it doesn't prevent Turner from putting in the work in the off-season to make real strides. The reality is I think Loveland and Burton will be good players (just bad use of picks relative to the Bears / broader needs / value) while Trapillo at least looks like could play the part at RT (but clearly not an LT) which drives the same question around need / team fit.

Milkman delivers Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Do we have the weakest kicker in the league? It feels like anything even close to 50 yards is a miracle for us, while other teams’ guys seem like they could nail a 70 yarder if needed.

Stinky Stanky Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 17 hours ago, Lip Man 1 said: True, he may acquire that with enough time and experience but right now he is definitely a work in progress. We'll see over time if he learns from his mistakes and doesn't keep making them. Again right now the jury is out on that concept as well. They still have on paper, winnable games coming up before they get hit with more divisional games, we'll see what happens and if they can take advantage of them. We have to hope that getting the ball out faster, in that part of a second a receiver is open, can be learned. Right now he holds the ball too long. I’m not optimistic.

caulfield12 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) We haven't seen the things that were promised -- but he has been good! By EPA per dropback, Williams is just about average for the season at 0.03. For perspective, Baker Mayfield -- whom some were calling an MVP candidate through September -- is at 0.05. Daniels is at 0.02, as is Jaxson Dart. Put another way: If Williams were performing last season as he is this season, Bears fans would likely feel encouraged and excited to see his development. Williams suffers a little in success rate -- 42.1%, below league average -- which is a good proxy for the down-to-down consistency of the passing game. But he excels in explosive pass rate at 17.8%, seventh highest among all quarterbacks. This is intuitive. The Bears' passing game has felt dangerous but highly volatile through eight weeks. Some of that belongs to Williams, who has had bad accuracy sprays on key downs targeting easy routes. The end-of-game miss to DJ Moore in the back of the end zone Sunday against the Ravens is a great example. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46739409/nfl-week-8-drake-maye-caleb-williams-sam-darnold-trade-deadline-offers#trades Edited October 29 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) I don’t know if anyone already posted this from a month ago and I’m not saying any team would have taken Maye over Williams with the #1 pick, but this sure didn’t age well. I just heard some sports radio guys talking about it, along with the strange timing to give Poles an extension. “Bears GM Mocked Drake Maye’s Game Film In Pre-Draft Process, New Report Says” Taking Loveland over Warren is still way worse IMO.

If Caleb doesn't pan out, we might as well just try to sign a mid tier QB FA as we will never draft a franchise QB, ever. I think you gotta stick with Caleb through at least his 2nd contract. We all agree we got the coach, right? He should get the best out of Caleb then. Imagine cutting bait on him and then he goes to Tampa or Minnesota and finally comes into his own like Baker or Darnold. Gotta have patience with these young guys. QB is one of the toughest jobs in sports. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
