1. Since the start of 2019, the #Bears offense has failed to crack 250 total yards for a game nine times.
Matt Nagy might be one of the best snake oil salesmen in recent memory.

1a. Justin Fields was asked to run a traditional West Coast-style offense on Sunday from the pocket against one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL.
If people needed evidence that Nagy is married to his system and will never change?
There you go. #Bears

1b. The #Bears have never fired a head coach midseason before.
We've said it would take something major for that to change.
After Detroit next week they get the Raiders, Packers, Buccaneers, 49ers, and Steelers.
Mostly teams that can score, play good defense, or both. 😬

2. If there is one positive to take away about Justin Fields in that game?
He protected the ball. No bad interceptions and no fumbles.
Didn't put the defense in even worse positions.
A small silver lining but one worth noting. #Bears

3. There is no point in evaluating the offensive line for this game.
They were massacred.
Nobody did their job. Especially the tackles.
Jason Peters and Germain Ifedi got exposed in every way imaginable. #Bears

4. Jimmy Graham has one catch through three games.
Cole Kmet has 7.
For all that talk about needing to get the tight ends more involved, Nagy keeps finding ways to make them disappear.

5. The #Bears offense has score 14, 13, and 6 points through three games.
They have managed 20 or more in a game just three times in nine games dating back to October 4th of last year with Nagy as a play caller.
How many more ways must I point this out?

6. The #Bears defense watched their offense net 47 total yards and somehow only gave up 26 points.
People will never know how well they actually played in that game.
It was within 7 points until the end of the 3rd quarter.
What a crime.

6. Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn have now combined for six sacks through the first three games.
That is the most encouraging development of the season thus far.
We're finally seeing what the #Bears had in mind last year and it's pretty awesome.

7. Mario Edwards Jr. had a sack. Angelo Blackson had half a sack.
We keep saying this almost every week but Ryan Pace is truly impressive at finding good defensive linemen.
#Bears are loaded up front.

8. Just in case people needed a reminder?
Eddie Jackson has now gone 20-consecutive games without an interception.

9. One coach who is doing his job to this point is Sean Desai.
He had his guys ready to play. They were fast, disciplined, and energetic most of the game.
The man showed in this game he is capable of playing the chess match against a good play caller.

10. Cairo Santos hasn't missed a field goal since September 27th of last year.
The guy is automatic and worth every penny the #Bears gave him on that new contract.
If anything, they may have gotten a bargain.
