He admitted to carrying a lot of volume into the season, which seems great but just means they don't do anything great, and a bunch of stuff just OK.
The Bears are the opposite. In watching the Lovie lead Bears, I've noticed they like to run their base stuff and do it better than you. Early in a season and really any time in a season, doing less, but doing it well works. So the Bears beat us by out executing. I'd say McCarthy beat us, but the Bears get the W.
