Daboll? Jones? Oline?

Not only has their offense has not scored a single touchdown in 3 of their 5 games, but they just went without one in the first half for the sixth consecutive game this year.

The easy answer is the OL, but Brian Daboll is an OC, he should be able to get more out of the offense than that.

He also had a hand in deciding to extend Jones, which, UGH. Build an offense around a half-field read QB and the results are predictable.

Definitely under utilizing Waller in the passing game. Slayton is a down field WR and Campbell has never been a go to guy. Wandale has become the de facto security blanket but goes down easy.
Daniel Jones is having accuracy issues especially hitting guys in stride.
And the Giants don’t really do anything to slow down the pass rush. Screens, draws, bootlegs have been poorly executed and rarely used effectively if used at all.
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

They put all their eggs into the wrong basket with Daniel Jones. Giving him all that money after only showing glimpses of good QB play seems to be, at least early on, a mistake.

If you want to watch what truly atrocious line play is, watch the Giants. They make the bears oline issues look like a little hiccup.

The shine has come off my guy Daboll for sure. I wanted him or Harbaugh, now I just want Harbaugh (again). Kevin Warren, your stage is set for a franchise altering move. Get Poles comfortable with a strong personality like Harbaugh who will have some level of input into personnel, and make this shit happen.

I would be fine with Harbaugh...more than fine actually. But I'm still gonna ride this Ben Johnson train all the way to the station.

You're going to ride that Johnson eh?

Ok, ok....I'm thinking we should put a moratorium on terrible Johnson jokes. I'm ashamed of myself. :ashamed:

And no more Penix jokes either ....

And, Bears, let's not get in the situation of paying a QB major money if they're unsure if he's the answer. At least the Giants have taught the rest of the league to avoid this boo-boo.

I can't believe the Bears aren't the current or former record holder

Any team can have a random low, it takes true skill to suck at a position for 80 years.
