But either way it isnt something to argue about.

Hate to tell ya this "Amigo", but that is sort of the essence of how life works.

No one said anything about a damn parade.

You always have an excuse. Again you are blinded.

Williams has had a nice first half. He is clearly progressing. Yet you won't admit that. Even if he does something good there is an excuse as to why.

It is pathetic

it's time you all are hauled out to the public square and shot in the face

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Will Bernstein have a big sigh and disappointed tones as he discusses how unevolved that fight was?

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

He'll probably just drop a "you can't fight in here, this is the war room!"

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

You can't give Tevin Jimenez more than a 1 year deal. You probably should let him walk.

The Panthers aren’t good up front so they will dial up the pressure early and often forcing the Bears to deal with the blitz or drown. Neither the Bears offensive line nor Williams have shown an ability to consistently handle the blitz. The Bears can run on the Panthers, but all it takes is one negative play or a big penalty to create down and distances that make passing mandatory. That’s where I can see some turnovers occurring and early stalled drives.

I think the Bears can mostly get over this disadvantage through their special teams, except obviously the turnovers. I can’t really guess how many (if any) turnovers there will be since so many big defensive plays are called back these days.

So it comes down to the Bears defense against this surging Panthers offense. It’ll be a telling match-up for both teams, they are equally matched in a lot of ways.

At the end of the day I just don’t think the Bears have it. They don’t feel like they are ready to win consecutive games yet. Everything is still so much of a struggle with them. The Panthers aren’t world beaters but they are ready to seize on a team like Chicago.

Bears 16
Panthers 25

I’d say high odds of seeing the Bears suffer a safety in this one.

Boy you should switch back your name to Antarctica as cold as this take is .

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

If Andy Dalton were the Bears QB and Carolina had Caleb Williams nothing would’ve changed in the result. Nothing Williams did was particularly extraordinary or even that good, the Bears receivers were wide open and the blocking was there. He basically played 7 on 7.

I didn’t expect the Panthers offensive line to be totally unable to handle Billings and Dexter. I figured there was some talent on the Panthers defense, turns out there is pretty much zero.

That's pretty good for a QB in his fifth start during his rookie year though. Williams is already at playing at a level which projects him as a borderline top ten QB and he's improving every week. Now, rookie stats often lie in both directions so nothing is guaranteed for future years but Williams is easily displaying the most potential we've ever seen in a Bears quarterback in the last 3 games.

The only time he’s shown any improvement was this week and it 100% was the fact that he played the NFL’s worst defense by far. Though of course the Colts and Rams were contending for that spot too.

He's improved in every game, though start 4 was improvement by being patient enough to take what the defense was giving him.

You don't think he improved from game 2 to game 3?

No, he was worse against the Colts. The garbage time stat padding is what iced the game for Indy and the Hail Mary is purely irrelevant. If Andy Dalton was Bears quarterback instead of Caleb Williams the Bears are a one-loss, perhaps even undefeated, team. But they’ve really only played one team that rates as decent or above.

Right, I already told you. The Indy game stats are a mirage, he was actually quite terrible in that game and the Bears would’ve won with any other quarterback. He was pretty much the NFL’s worst QB through three games then he played a Rams team that has been essentially eliminated from the league by injuries and a Carolina team with zero talent. He was still mediocre against the Rams and was average against Carolina.

What do you think happens when the Bears start playing real teams?

I think this is the season’s high water mark here. Idk, the Bears schedule is pathetic. Even the games against Seattle and the Niners don’t look so tough now. The wheels might not come off until next year, but eventually they will. And then he’ll start lashing out, crying, blaming others, etc.
