Aside from gamblers, fantasy football owners and masochistic Bears & Panther fans, who will watch tonight's game?

Herbstreit just said " the Bears have a complete defense " . Huh?

28th in the NFL is complete?

Maybe he's surprised the Bears get 11 players on the field?

Well, that was a heckuva first half of high-quality football.

The Panthers are really bad.

The Panthers are really bad.

Other than the lack of a running game, receiving talent or the ability to pass protect, it's a great setup for a rookie QB.

They're making the Beats look good.

I appreciate the spirit of that comment but the Bears don't look that good either.

SoCalEagle

You're absolutely right. But, keep playing hard, finish with 6 or 7 wins and build on it. There are no quick turn around sun the NFL. One step at a time. Bears are a proud franchise.

Eventually they will improve. Still a massive lack of talent but you're right  that it takes time. 2 more years and a quality QB will help. Fields is not the man.

The Bears needed that win. Big help to get the #1 pick.

But the good news is that my heroes don't have any first-round draft picks, either.

Big Chicago fan. My son still lives there, as do 3 grandsons. We get back there often.

Panthers were bad last year, but 7-10 bad, like New Orleans or Atlanta.
What happened to them? They only lost by 3 tonight but they were dominated physically - by the Bears, for godsakes!

That FG attempt felt very tanky even if they don't have a 1st rounder  :o

Their GM combo - Fitterer and the since-departed Rhule - made some disastrous drafting and FA decisions, especially (but not exclusively) at QB. The owner is on his fifth head coach since 2018. They haven't had many stars, but most of those they had were traded or left via FA.

This year's team was gonna suck anyway, but they also have been devastated by injuries, especially on defense. Out last night were 2 starting CBs, a starting safety, the starting MLB, and both starting DEs (including Burns, their only All-Pro caliber player).

Add in a rookie at QB, and don't give him any WRs who can actually separate from defenders, and a coach who has been very unimpressive ... and viola! Serious suckitude!

But hey, at least my heroes covered against the mighty Bears.

My son's text: "Interesting call there."

Yeah. Pineiro is pretty accurate but he's not one of those booming-leg kickers. The Panthers had a much better chance (5%?) to convert the 4th-and-10 than he did of hitting that 59-yarder (0.000001%). Pathetic. As I said, Reich has been unimpressive.

As Herbstreit expounded on that, he was saying that the Bears were playing with a fully healthy defensive backfield contingent for the first time this season. That, and the addition of Sweat, improves the defense immeasurably.

They looked good yesterday, but then again these Panthers aren't exactly the 2015 Panthers offensively.

I understand both announcers were in terrible position to call that game. I know he's reaching for anything positive to say so as to not turn off the already sparse viewers they had.

If the Bears stay healthy and get a DC they could become a middle of the pack defense. Sweat is a good addition even though is stats are poor so far. They need some decent interior DL players so that Sweat can play to the level of his contract.

I'd say trying to gleam any quality information about the Bears defense from yesterday's game is an exercise in futility (much like the Panther's offense  :D

Thanks for the info, Mike - good explanation as to why the Panthers are so bad right now. And yes, they covered - due to a punt return. They looked like they could have played for a long, long time without scoring an offensive TD, though.
