the first time i know they didn't lose any of the good you know it's interesting like i always look at like the the to me the the the uh the chargers and the bears are on similar tracks they both have new new coaches and they both have quarterbacks who aren't quite there yet but are certainly ahead of just the the they're they're they're they're they're getting there okay they'll both teams lost two offensive linemen for significant points of the season okay yeah

But the Bears lost Trapillo, and they lost Braxton Jones, okay?

The Chargers lost Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt.

They're two best offensive linemen for almost the entire season, okay?

So my point is the Bears had their share of injuries.

It's not like they had no injuries when you know there's going to be correction, but it's where you get them.

If it's Tooney and Dallman injured next year, you've got a totally different season.

Yeah.

Then you had this totally different situation.

So they were fortunate.

So I think even though they had their share of injuries, they were fortunate.

So I guess my point, if I can remember what I was talking about, was that's the one X factor.

Talk about their offense.

I think their offense is absolutely primed to take a major step next year because they have a young quarterback who should get better.

But injuries will tell you everything.

We'll tell the tale.

Well, and to your point about the – it's a great thing you bring up about replacement parts on the Bears.

The Bears, good teams have good depth, and that's one – and you're right.

If they had lost their center and their left guard, who knows what happens.

Do they have that kind of depth to sustain for the season?
