How can you think Ted hasn't put together much of a team when they almost won a game with one of the worst QBs in the league playing the whole thing?

Not only did he play the whole thing he even threw a decent amount of passes during it.

You can say injuries, but Bulaga was bad before his injury last season. Defense? Maybe we stack up pretty good against the worst teams, but not even close to the best.

All that is on Ted Thompson.

Total Offense = 2nd

Rushing Offense = 2nd
Points For = 29.0 (3rd)



I'm far from being a Bryan Bugala apologist, but reports were he was dominating at the LT position until he got injured.

Whatever about Bulaga, but I can't recall a game maybe ever where he had the amount of time Brady or Brees or basically most QBs you can name had. He was literally always hurried and throwing on the run - and still doing it better than anybody else maybe in history.

And IF we had a decent O Line, whoever the QB is, he wouldn't have to run for his life every time he tries to throw; And IF we had a better defense, we wouldn't need God knows how many points to win - last game, next game, and for the past couple of years.

Did you notice how the Bears rebuilt their O Line - 4 of 5 newcomers since last season? The Cowboys have done basically the same, and maybe a few other teams I'm less familiar with. And look what we have. You can say injuries, but Bulaga was bad before his injury last season. Defense? Maybe we stack up pretty good against the worst teams, but not even close to the best.

All that is on Ted Thompson.

Those two safeties playing so deep allowed Lacy and Starks to run wild. When the Bears finally did figure out that Wallace couldn't throw, they loaded the box and stopped the run. McCarthy pulling that onside kick out of his ass helped too, although it woulda helped a lot more if we coulda gotten a TD.

What's that they say about ALMOST? It only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades?
