Interestingly, though, the facts suggest there are more similarities between this year and last than differences.

The Bears got to 3-1 a year ago by doing more to lose the opener to the Packers than what Green Bay did to beat them, and then putting together lackluster wins over Seattle and Arizona before exploding in what was the most dominant win of the season over the Bucs.

This year has been almost a carbon copy, with a similar loss to the Packers, ugly wins at Denver and Washington and then one of their best performances in years thrashing the Vikings.

Last season, the bye came in Week 4 and they came out of it with their worst performance of the year, losing at Miami with the defense giving up 31 points and 541 yards of offense to a bad Dolphins team.

A week later, just like the visit from the Saints Sunday, the NFL's best team (New England) came in and hung 38 points and another 381 yards on the defense.

I have no idea what's next, but last year's 3-3 and this year's are eerily similar.

Record wise, ok it's similar. But there are a lot of differences and you cannot call this a carbon copy. First, the offense was actually able to move the ball. Hub fails to mention that the Bears scored 31 points against the Pats, and were a yard short of tying the game after Kevin White caught a Hail Mary at the 1. The Bears defense has their worst 2nd half against Miami, but they still put up 28 points in regulation and were a Parkey FG away from winning that one.

The Bears looked like they had an offense last year. Outside of one quarter against the hapless Redskins, they haven't looked like an NFL offense all year. Also, the Bears were a lot healthier and the Packers were not running away with the division last year. In week 7 last year, the Packers 3-2-1 and the Vikings were 4-2-1. The Bears were 3-3 and two of those were AFC losses so they did not have to chase 2 and 3 games like they are going to have to do this year.

He isn't wrong. There is just a different feel about it, though, because last season there really wasn't a lot of hope going into the season like there was this year. I still cannot figure out really who to blame the 3-3 record on but I keep coming back to how terrible the offensive line is. But then again, a good offensive coordinator can scheme around a bad offensive line.

What I do know, though, is that it is up to NAGY to get the offense going because there is talent on the offense and good coaches need to get the ball in the hands of guys to have them make plays. This is Nagy's coaching test and he needs to step up and prove himself.

I completely agree that it feels different. At this point, I'm trying to find a bright spot to look at because I'd rather spend the next 2 months watching this team and trying to be optimistic.

As far as the OC goes, I get the feeling that Nagy doesn't let Helfrich do much of anything, and maybe that's something that needs to change.

Calling the Vikings game one of their best performances in years is a pretty huge stretch.

I think the intent is that it was never really close. The defense ate Cousins up that day. The offense looked really good until Gabriel got hurt.

I agree it feels different because at 3-3 last year we were like "holy crap, they're not awful" and then they went 11-1.

So, that was the standard/expectations for this season. The problem is that they look like shit so far this season.
