This is a very young team at the start of a rebuilding phase. We started off with two of the best teams in the nfl and played fairly well. We will know a lot more half way through the season but I think it’s far to early to give up on Kmet , Fields, Mooney, etc. Fields is going to throw a lot more these next two games and I think you will see more quick throws to Kmet and see us go downfield a couple times. I’m happy being 1-1 right now!
On one hand, the record is about as good as we could have realistically asked for coming into the season. On the other hand, the record doesn't matter for this season and you want to see progress from all the young guys, namely Fields. It's been a highly mixed bag so far, and as usual, Chicago fans are latching on the most immediate happenings. That means:
- Montgomery is the lynchpin of the offense (despite him being shut down by the 9ers)
- Fields is looking pretty bad (despite his play making ability being the reason we beat the 9ers)
- The defensive line is looking pretty terrible right now (despite having dominated the 9ers' o-line)
- Getsy is a pretty terrible play caller (despite the adjustments he made in the second half against the 9ers)
It's going to be really random from week to week. I personally didn't see an avenue to more than 6 wins this season and i'm not really backing off of that. That means more bad than good, in general.
