They're definitely not worse than the Browns. That team barely has any talent on it, not to mention they're already onto their 3rd string QB who was a borderline draftable prospect.
Oh, I am not panicking. I am just being realistic.
If the Bears played the Browns that would be action packed, drama filled must-see tv. Injuries, penalties, fumbles and pick six's all around.
I was expecting modest improvements on defense, but knew the offense would struggle.
I know Carson Wentz is very talented with a lot of potential.
Never the less, fact is last night the Bears D got rolled by an injury-prone, Rookie QB, from a Division-1 school, starting his 2nd NFL game. And this happened at home, AT HOME.
John Fox' record for home games since taking over as Bears HC is 1-8. 1 win, 8 losses at home.
There's no light at the end of the tunnel, either. Included in those 6 defensive starteres that went down with injury is Danny Trevathan - will have thumb surgery, out indefinitely. And LaMarr Houston - serious knee injury, per espn.
