Just asked you about the game in the draft thread. Didn't see it yesterday. Your thoughts?

I answered in that thread. I’ll also add that I think preseason wins are next to meaningless, but consider it a positive the Bears were able to pull out a comeback win. Maybe (just maybe) the back end of the roster isn’t as awful as we think it is, and a lot of chatter about how the team looked more organized and focused than under the previous regime. I’ll take whatever positives we can get at this point.

Robinson has the potential to be a huge steal (in the 5th?).

Friend said there were not any stupid penalties. So that is good.
-
Several rookies actually had great games. Brisker, Gill (punter), Braxton Jones, and Jack Sanborn (undrafted so not going to put a ton of stock into this one) all getting much praise.
-

I heard this morning there were no pre-snap penalties. That alone is huge progress. Lol
-
It's gonna be a long year. No expectations for wins, just want to see improvement.

Is this for Bears or Illini football?

Yes

Exactly.
Although, I am a bit more optimistic about the Illini than the Bears.

I just hope he has a valid drivers license.

I do not see how this will happen.

No one was going to prevent this. Too much money and too much sense for the Bears.

That's what they want you to think.

Given the begging for money in that announcement, I don't see how you can count on it happening.
-
It’s gonna happen.
-
It’s gonna happen.
Let's play this out. The Bear is begging for money, not for the stadium per se, but for the rest of the plan.
Now, the state is run by Dems. Cook County is run by Dems. Lightfoot may not be popular, but who is going to want to give the McCaskeys money so they can move from Chicago to somewhere else in Cook County?
Don't forget that the McCaskeys are NOT the Wirtzes or Reinsdorf.
-
There’s almost no way this doesn’t happen.
-
If there’s a wrong move you can assume the bears will make it
-
There’s almost no way this doesn’t happen.
Pritzker, Don Harmon, Chris Welch, and Toni Preckwinkle are all looking to step on Lightfoot's dick to help the McCaskeys? Got it. Tell me, politically, how this happens.
If they get private money, it happens. As of now, based on that message they sent out begging for public money, they don't have it.
Do they do the stadium without the rest? I don't know.
-
I've already seen that Phillips is talking like the new stadium will be a dome. No retractable roof, due to cost. Which is amazing to me as the cost of a retractable roof stadium would pay for itself with all that could be done with it. But Bears being Bears, let's go cheap and pinch pennies.
Dome is better than what they currently have, obviously, but retractable roof, nowadays, seems pretty fucking standard. I mean, the Colts have a retractable roof for Christ's sake.
Like Custard said earlier. If there is a way for the Bears to fuck it up, they will.
-
Can't say this interview with Ted Phillips does anything to assuage my concerns...

How long does the Bear option on Arlington Park run? Maybe they should go buy Balmoral Park and develop that.....

Meanwhile, Trubisky just threw his first TD pass as a Steeler and is badly outplaying Burrow.
-

That's because Burrow keeps giving the ball to the Steeler. Mitch has completed 2 balls over the LOS, one was a flea flicker and the other one the guy one handed it after Mitch threw it way behind him.

Bears suck so bad they can't even wipe down the field without being flagged

That was great stuff from Fields. More of that please.

Yeah the Bears to Arlington Heights is a done deal.
-
The field held up, but the drainage was non-existent. Great 2nd half and great win for the Bears. When’s the last time we could say the Bears looked like the better coached and more disciplined team? Only two penalties aside from the bizarre beach towel penalty almost know one knew existed.
Wasn’t pretty, how could it be in that weather? But a lot to hang your hat on, and I think the coaching staff got some buy-in from the players on Sunday. Don’t want to jump the gun, but if Flus can keep it looking anything remotely like this, he may have just been the right hire.

Great 2nd half, but the first half was abysmal. Good of the Niners to commit a bunch of penalties.

You say RIP because he hasn’t posted in a while, or because he’s actually dead? I’m guessing he hasn’t posted in a while. And no, I don’t recall it. But I’ve taken lengthy absences a few times over the years.

Actually, it vaguely rings a bell.

He could not handle being wrong about the Mack Trade and went AWOL.

I haven’t sipped a whole lot of Bears Kool-Aid the last 15 years or so, but I think the Bears have a shot at pulling off a big upset Sunday night. I’m going 24-20 Bears. Fields has career night.

Not even sure it would be that big of an upset at this point

I mostly agree. I think GB will be the better team this year, but they are very “gettable” right now. Not only are they a mess at WR, but I believe they are missing 3 OL starters. I really think the Bears got some good mojo after their win (not expecting it to result in a playoff run or anything), but I’m going to take the rare opportunity to sip some Bears Kool-Aid.
-

Isn't that what we are all about?

Isn't that what we are all about?
Yes
-
Nice response by the Bears.
-
Bearce…we may not win, but so wonderful to have the Nagy and Pace stank off this team.
-
Justin Fields is a clown show. Full 2 yards beyond the LOS and he decides to throw
-
Ugh, c’mon Justin. That wasn’t close.
-
Can't do that, Justin. That was like 3 yards past the LOS.
-
2nd and 28. No problem for the Packers
-
Missing tackles left and right.
-
Ok, Getsy’s gotta start opening the playbook a bit. A game and a half into the season and Mooney and Kmet have what, 2 combined catches? I realize the first game was extraordinary conductions, but our defense isn’t good enough to play ultra-conservative offense against Aaron Rodgers.
-

Looking to be well ahead of the curve here. Shocking.
-
C’mon, Cole.
-
Eberfuck sucks ass too.
-
C’mon, Cole.
ND guy sucks. Shocking
-
We need a turnover. Almost got one there.
-
Kmet sucks. He drops everything.
-
I drafted the guy in one of my fantasy leagues and looks like I’ll be getting back to back goose eggs from him. Lol
-
I’d like to see Roquan force a turnover. What do you think, Roquan?
-
Nice 1st quarter. Absolutely abysmal 2nd quarter.
-
I drafted the guy in one of my fantasy leagues and looks like I’ll be getting back to back goose eggs from him. Lol
What the hell were you thinking?
-
I’m starting to buy into the idea Roquan isn’t that important to our future. A tackling machine, but not a disrupter. A good, not truly great player.
-
Jesus, you’re getting waxed. Take a shot downfield.
-
Absolutely atrocious 2nd quarter. By everyone.
-

Doesn't play an impact LB position.
-
Welp, watched 4-5 teams blow what looked to be insurmountable leads earlier today. Hopefully the trend continues.
-
Doesn't play an impact LB position.
Can’t force a fumble now and then?
-
Roll him the fuck out. He gets sacked and pressured every time he drops back.
-

No shit. Why aren't they doing this?
-
Think Ryan and Matt fooled us with plastic surgery?
-
Way to run him out of bounds 36 yards later, Roquan.
-
Maybe the Packer is better than the Trey Lance 49er
-
Fucking tackling is horrendous!
-
Ok, I’m getting behind the idea of a blowout. Fuck the Lovie Smith play it close ball and let’s see if we have any playmakers.
-
This is supposed to be a lost/rebuilding season anyways, so fucking air it out and see what you’ve got for next year and the future.
-
I get that the run game worked the last few plays, but it’s not a law you have to run on 1st.
-
This is supposed to be a lost/rebuilding season anyways, so fucking air it out and see what you’ve got for next year and the future.
Agreed.
-
So apparently one thing hasn’t changed. The Bears love the shotgun.
-
Agreed.
It isn't college football. This is more of the same crap.
-
Bears looking a little more lively. Still need several big plays to have a chance, though.
-
Is Mooney hurt or something? Two targets in two games.
-
Damn, that would have been huge.
-
Not that it mattered, but how the hell did the refs not see the LT jump early.
-
Sidetracking a bit, but I have a feeling Velus Jones will be a wasted pick.
Has Herbert even had a carry?
-
Is Mooney hurt or something? Two targets in two games.
There he is
-
Monty having a game.
-
Monty having a game.
You ain't kidding.
-
On second thought, if we’re going to average 25 YPC keep running lol
-

Robinson not around to be the focus of the DBs.
-
TD to Kmet would help me in multiple ways

BS. Throw it to him. Scheme him open. It’s not been a priority
-
Looked like a first to me.
-
BS. Throw it to him. Scheme him open. It’s not been a priority
Maybe he's not open because he is not as good when the other teams focus on him as he is the only WR threat.
-

I think it has more to do with the fact the Bears aren’t throwing much, and not prioritizing big chunk plays in the passing game.
-
How many times have the Bears thrown more than 10 yards? 3, 4?
-
See, 1st and GOAL and they run it twice.
-
From the 10 I might add.
-
What in the ever living fuck.
-
What the fuck is this franchise's obsession with running shotgun?
-
Nagyesque.
Ok, now I’m convinced Ryan and Matt only had plastic surgery and are still here.
-
Quarterback sneak from the shotgun is a new one to me.
-
More smartest man in the room bullshit. Regime after fucking regime.
-
I think it has more to do with the fact the Bears aren’t throwing much, and not prioritizing big chunk plays in the passing game.
I can't say I've seen video of him wide open and not getting the ball.
Maybe he's got to improve now that he is a WR1? Maybe the offense is now worse? Hard to tell after 1 and 3/4 games
-
AOTC on this game. Bear sucks. Eberfuck sucks. Would have lost last week with Jim G in the game. Same shit, different day.
-
Well that ended any hope the Bears had. Big stop on 4th and goal. Stupid fucking sneak from the shotgun, what the fuck?! Then a bomb by Rodgers to a wide open Watkins.
-
7/9 for 70 yards passing for Fields. How the fuck are you supposed to evaluate him on that?! This is the same shit the previous staff did with Trubisky. Fucking ridiculous.
-
You have to see what Fields is as a passer. Can't hide him forever.
-
So why in the fuck don’t they let him throw the ball?! 😡 we should not be running the ball on this next drive down 17.
-
Welp, that was fun…
-
So why in the fuck don’t they let him throw the ball?! 😡 we should not be running the ball on this next drive down 17.
Good news is they threw it. Bad news, well, you saw it.
-

Mitch Fields or Justin Trubisky? Which do you prefer?
-
Mitch Fields or Justin Trubisky? Which do you prefer?
Yeah not looking good. At least Trubisky had a better team around him and some weapons. Not sure what to think of Fields because it’s like they set him up to fail with the lack of pieces around him. Still he’s made some dumb decisions and shitty throws.
-
Not that I ever believed for a second that the Bears had any shot whatsoever of winning this thing before it started.
But I'm seeing 'meet the new regime, same as the old one.' You aren't winning shit in today's NFL when your QB only attempts 11 passes for 70 yards. Newsflash you fucks: this ain't the 1930s anymore.
-
Agreed. You have to have a quarterback that can complete passes and in high numbers. Running the ball in the NFL has become the big Center in basketball. Just almost nonexistent.
-
Fields is obviously far from a finished product, but the Bears have the worst receiving corps in the NFL and it’s probably not close. No separation.
-
Where the hell are Hamp and O.B.?
-
Eberfuck = Tony LaRussa is a match
-
How the hell are you supposed to establish any rhythm only throwing it 11 times. SMH
-
Why even fire Nagy if you're just gonna run a Nagyesque offense anyway?
-
The Bears franchise doesn’t deserve 10% of the fan loyalty it possesses.
-
It just dawned on me, and I’m not sure this is a stretch. I bet there are college programs with better receiving corps than the Bears.
-
Why even fire Nagy if you're just gonna run a Nagyesque offense anyway?
It’s actually the inverse. Run, run, run it! Even when down 2 TDs on the road to Aaron Rodgers! Then *sneak* it from the shotgun.
-
Oops I missed the game
Ok I didn't really miss anything it sounds like
-
It’s actually the inverse. Run, run, run it! Even when down 2 TDs on the road to Aaron Rodgers! Then *sneak* it from the shotgun.
The running was not the problem. The Packer ran the ball at will. The problem was the inability to throw the ball off the run (play action, etc.). Packer had no issue, as usual, throwing the ball off the run.
-
It's not the Xs and the Os, it's the Jimmys and the Joes.
The Zooker
Rodgers throws to whoever he wants.
Bears receivers can't get separation.

Despite being down two touchdowns on the road to Aaron Rodgers since the 2nd quarter, they only threw the ball 9 times (when it mattered). That’s not gonna get it done.
-
Obviously, the rain game is part of it, but the Bears have 28 pass attempts in two games. Every other team in the league has at least 28 completions.

It is as if they know Mitch Fields isn't any good.
-
I'm definitely allowing for the possibility that Fields isn't any good. I want to see his numbers after 30 starts. That usually tells you what kind of qb you have.
Sure, the Nagy thing was a joke, but this is 2 coaching staffs now that don't seem to trust him. Red flag city.
-
I found this part of the article to be very interesting…
“There’s a question of why Fields looked hesitant to make throws in Green Bay. Could it be the pressure he’s facing? The quarterback has the highest pressure percentage in the NFL at 56%. But he’s also had the longest average time before passing in the NFL at 3.26 seconds.
And it's not a question of the Bears' receivers getting open. The average separation on Fields’ targets is 3.93 yards, the fourth-highest rate in the NFL according to Next Gen Stats.
But Fields’ accuracy comes into question as his off-target percentage is just under 30%, which is the second-highest in the NFL.”
Here’s the whole article…

-
I typed a message along the lines of “Is anyone ready to discuss the idea that Justin Fields probably sucks?” the other day and then decided not to post it. Glad someone else took the lead.
-
Yeah, I’m wavering on the belief that he’s a franchise QB. Just not sure at this point and you almost have to take a OC or HC word based on them seeing the player everyday. Especially when it’s two different staffs. Our OC had Rodgers as a QB for Christ sake, so I’m sure he knows who/what a good QB is you’d think…

Not defending Fields, as I was wary of him before the season started. But two games in, against two 2021 playoff teams and with one game after a full rainstorm, is probably not the time to roll with a bunch of stat-based conclusions. Particularly the one about target separation, as that seems to be a positive. Do we want him throwing to people who haven't achieved separation? Admittedly the accuracy rate is far too low. And his inability to spot open receivers is a bad sign. But I'm not ready to stretch two games of stats over a 17-game season.
Also, note to ESPN: The game against Baltimore last year was in Chicago. And in referencing that, I noticed the goofy "win probability" thing that had the Bears at almost a 100 percent win probability when the Ravens had the ball and 1:41 on the clock. Sorry, but no one is dead in the water down by 4 with 1:41 on the clock. It looks idiotic to have a win probability chart that is almost 100 percent for one team and then shoots up to 100 percent for the other team almost no time later.

ESPN does not care. It's obvious.
Pro tip: Pay zero attention to ESPN, other than to watch a game. It's pretty much a joke.
30 games started. That will tell you what you need to know. Regardless of how shitty the team is.
Did you see any of Mitch this past Sunday? Same old shit. He is what he is. A dipshit that doesn't seem to know that you can throw the ball away if you're outside the pocket.
With that being said, over the last 2 weeks, Fields looks like he has a ways to go before he's as good as Mitch. And that is not a good thing.
-
I don't give ESPN much credibility. However, too many people buy into these made-up stats and think they prove something. Again, not blasting on the person who posted the link or the idea that Fields is well below standards. In the spring, I said I was wary of Fields' lack of development last year.
-
My main issue with Fields is that he holds the ball too long like he thinks he’s still at Ohio St. facing a defense from Directional Bumfuck University. Now a lot of that is on the coaches for trying to make him something he’s not. Get him out of the pocket with rollouts, boot legs, play action, whatever. Let him do what he does best.
Receivers aren’t getting open? Scheme them open. Run pick plays. Everyone in the league does it except the Bears. This goddamn franchise is BTC on everything.
-
I'm definitely allowing for the possibility that Fields isn't any good. I want to see his numbers after 30 starts. That usually tells you what kind of qb you have.
Sure, the Nagy thing was a joke, but this is 2 coaching staffs now that don't seem to trust him. Red flag city.
I agree with the 30 starts. 30-36 is a good number. People expect too much from players who’ve started only 10-12 games. Been watching football for 40 years and I bet I can name maybe 6-7 QBs who were obvious superstars after 12 starts. Sure, many had the “talent,” but few played at a high level that early.
It’s possible that Fields isn’t the one they “don’t trust.” Maybe they don’t trust what might be the worst pass blocking line in the league, which is also tied to hands down the worst receiving corps in the league? I’d be willing to bet Ohio State, LSU, and Alabama have had better receiving corps the last few years than the Bears do now.
-
I found this part of the article to be very interesting…
“There’s a question of why Fields looked hesitant to make throws in Green Bay. Could it be the pressure he’s facing? The quarterback has the highest pressure percentage in the NFL at 56%. But he’s also had the longest average time before passing in the NFL at 3.26 seconds.
And it's not a question of the Bears' receivers getting open. The average separation on Fields’ targets is 3.93 yards, the fourth-highest rate in the NFL according to Next Gen Stats.
But Fields’ accuracy comes into question as his off-target percentage is just under 30%, which is the second-highest in the NFL.”
Here’s the whole article…
https://www.espn.com/blog/chicago-bears/post/_/id/4711500/chicago-bears-passing-game-is-off-to-rocky-start-as-justin-fields-and-top-weapons-have-yet-to-click
I think it adds length to his drop backs when he’s being immediately pressured and has to scramble. The “seconds per drop back stat” should only include a clean pocket.
The numbers are what they are I guess, but I find it really difficult to believe the Bears’ receivers are 4th in the league in separation. Of course, they’ve barely thrown it as well. I’ll bet Pettis’ TD alone skews that number. He was all alone on that side of the field.

The Packer receivers suck, yet it does not seem to matter when the QB is actually good.
I heard this point discussed by Lombardi on his podcast. Tough to assess WRs, as the QB is the one who makes or breaks them.

Rodgers has more years in the league than Fields has starts. Not sure the comparison is fair.
-
Throwing guys open at the NFL level isn’t something that comes to most QBs early in their careers. If ever.
-
Rodgers has more years in the league than Fields has starts. Not sure the comparison is fair.
The point is the quality of the WRs should not matter if you are a good QB.
-
First snap under center, fumble. Probably why shotgun is mainly the option.
-
Also Fields scrambling for a 1st down isn’t a recipe for sustained success. He’s had a clean pocket so far, throw the fucking ball!!
Hand-off draw on 3rd down. Dumb as fuck.
-
Not impressed by Getsy’s play-calling. This drive was an over-correction of last week. Gotta give Justin a handoff play after the big run. I like that they were passing, but often passed on running downs and ran on passing downs IMO.
-
The point is the quality of the WRs should not matter if you are a good QB.
Again, the list of truly difference making QBs in the NFL after 12 starts is an extremely short list.
-
Oline is doing their job. Fields hold the ball too long. You can almost hear him thinking.
-

This.
-
They have to establish the run, and throw off of that. But Fields has to make throws when they’re available.
-
A good friend of mine put it well, I think. It feels like every start for Fields is his first start. He should be farther along by now.
-

Yeah, doubtful. He’s literally had everything working against him since day 1.

What throws has he made where you thought it was a great throw?

Uh, oh. Monty down. Doesn’t look good.

You apparently didn’t see any next gen stats from last year.

Game experience counts for something.
Did you praise him when he was drafted or something? You have been very "Sparkian" on this topic.

Well, just because he was brought into a less than ideal situation doesn’t excuse his lack of field awareness. It doesn’t excuse him passing when he’s 5 yards past the line of scrimmage.
I want the dude to succeed. It would be best for the bears. I’m just not seeing it right now. After this year, we should know. And, after that many starts, shitty coaches can not be an excuse. You can either play or you can’t.
Look at Mitch. Same old shit, different team.
-
You apparently didn’t see any next gen stats from last year.
Ok. What did they say? Because the eye test (blast from the past!) tells me he doesn't have a feel for the pocket.
-
Uh, oh. Monty down. Doesn’t look good.
I’m interested in seeing Herbert more anyways. Never been a big fan of Montgomery. Overrated. Very limited skill set and I guess somebody has to run the ball. He’s just a guy, in my opinion.
-
Thought about putting Herbert into a DFS stack or two. Wish I had.
-
https://twitter.com/jf_1bearssox/status/1495468591503876098?s=46&t=VfHEFXP6GfrFasquhJQEuQ
This throw that throw vs. turnover worthy throws. What the hell does that metric even mean in real life?
-
Oh look… what’d I say about Herbert 🤔
He’s the better, more versatile player.
-
Ok. What did they say? Because the eye test (blast from the past!) tells me he doesn't have a feel for the pocket.
Again, name me a list of polished NFL star quality quarterbacks after 12 starts. Should be a fantastic list. He’s hit a league high 42% on drop backs. I’m not saying he’s been great, but it’s not all on him I can assure you.
-
Holy shit Darnell Mooney sighting. 3 yard catch.
-

It means you’re being an impatient whiney bitch trying to project Tribuskyness on to him.

I agree it’s not all on him. But he has to get better. I hope he does.

Josh Allen just fumbled deep in his own territory. Terrible feel for the pocket. #joshallensucks

The fact that he holds onto the ball longer than most QBs I'm sure has zero to do with that stat.
For example:

He is the real deal. Herbert too. Meanwhile we got Mitch Fields.....yay!

News alert. Virtually every young QB does. I’d rather he hold it too long than be captain dumpoff and show no play making ability.
-
Yep. I just remembered why I hate you. What a ridiculous post. I’m out.
You can't go. That post just means I got him on the run. Like Mitch Fields.

Nope. I’m not wasting my time. It’s fucking stupid. Im just gonna watch the game.

Mac Jones has played better than Fields.

You are such a puss.

Burrows definitely and his line really sucked last year and this year too
-
Mac Jones has played better than Fields.
Mac Jones was the most NFL ready QB in 5-10 years, but he doesn’t have Fields’ upside. He also has a great coach. Not Matt Nagy.
-

Half the damned QBs in the league are younger types who progressed faster than Fields has. Murray, Jackson.
Nice INT Justin Trubisky staring down the receiver
-

Not sure about that. He seems to be a game manager type to me. But I am not a self proclaimed QB expert like Royko claimed he was.
-
Mahomes.
Josh Allen is in year 4 or 5. He sucked his first two years. Mahomes sat for a year and had Reid, Kelce, and Hill. So your list is up to like two.
-

-
Kmet actually got open for once and Fields makes a trash throw.
-
Whomever is QBing the Texan team is zipping the ball in there
-
That ball was trapped, but a terrible pass by Fields.
PAMan would have benched Brett Favre after 10 starts.
-
Kmet actually got open for once and Fields makes a trash throw.
Not his fault. Blame the coach!
-
Was Eddie really going to try to run that back?
-
Great “zip” there by Mills. He sucks. Everyone not clearly great by start 13 sucks.
-
Vildor is a terrible corner.
Figures as I was typing this, he tips it so it can get intercepted. 😂
-
I was wrong about Eddie Jackson. I thought he was done. He’s really made a nice comeback.
-
Great “zip” there by Mills. He sucks. Everyone not clearly great by start 13 sucks.
Was a bad throw. Also he's not a 1st round pick, but a 3rd rounder.
-
Jalen Hurts looking like he has figured it out.
I wanted the Bears to draft him but they took Coke Kmet. SMH. Having said that, he’s got the best Oline in the league and excellent weapons. He was worth a shot in round 2, though. That athletic ability and that college pedigree aren’t available in the 2nd round often.
-
Was a bad throw. Also he's not a 1st round pick, but a 3rd rounder.
Yeah but he was really zipping it in there wasn’t he?
-
Throw the fucking ball Fields!!! He takes WAY too long going through progressions.
Except when he does it’s an INT. Maybe Getsy knows this as well…
-
Yeah but he was really zipping it in there wasn’t he?
Yes, he had some zip on it. Still a bad decision by a third round pick.
Hasn't he started as many games as Fields? His numbers are better than Fields'.
-
3/7 for 21 yards and an INT.
What the fuck.
-
My best DraftKings lineup so far has David Montgomery in it. SMH
-
Jesus Christ, you guys are impatient. It’s as if you expect him to improve play by play in chronological order.
-
Yes, he had some zip on it. Still a bad decision by a third round pick.

This is his 14th start
-
Jesus Christ, you guys are impatient. It’s as if you expect him to improve play by play in chronological order.
You did not give Mitch this kind of honeymoon period.
-
I’ll allow for growth. But the lack of field awareness is disturbing. He makes pop warner level mistakes.
-
So numbers are all that matters now, huh? I remember when Mitchell Trubiksy’s numbers were on par with Patrick Mahomes.
-

Just like to see more poise and improvement out of a 1st round draft pick.
-

They said the same thing about Favre, Bradshaw, and Josh Allen. He’s not gonna get great overnight, especially with what he has around him, and still learning a new system. Again, he needs to play better, but he literally has the worst of everything that he’s working with. His LT is a 5th round non-power 5 rookie.
-
So numbers are all that matters now, huh? I remember when Mitchell Trubiksy’s numbers were on par with Patrick Mahomes.
That was Spark. Mitch never passed the eye test either.
-
Can’t remember the guys’ name, but also heard some amazing analysis that Getsy is not simplifying the concepts enough for Fields. He’s calling games for Aaron Rodgers (kind of like Nagy called games as if he had Mahomes).
-
Running the ball because the coaches know the issues they have at QB?
Only Tempo doesn't know!
-

The point is…”stats.”

Again, bottom 3 line, worst receiving corps in the league…
-
Three straight downs they run the ball. On a 3rd and 6 as well 😂 what the fuck
-
How about that run defense…
-
Basically this game is going to come down to which of these bad QBs makes the bigger mistake.
-
The point is…”stats.”
Yes, I got the point. You were the one who threw out "stats" to support Mitch Fields.
-
Again, bottom 3 line, worst receiving corps in the league…
And Burrow still led his team to the SuperBowl....
-

Tempo, you don’t think this is concerning?! You think you know more than Getsy?!
-
This is good. I like that the Bears will be forced to call a competitive game. Let’s see if Getsy, Fields, and the offense are up to the task. And yes, it’s on all of them. Everyone is pointing the finger at Fields, but I’ve yet to see anything from anyone but maybe Monty and Herbert. And that includes shotgun from the 2 inch line Luke.
-
Bear never should have fired Lovie. Added benefit to that would be he never would have been the Illini head coach.
-
Tempo, you don’t think this is concerning?! You think you know more than Getsy?!
No, I don’t. But I’m smart enough to know this isn’t all on Fields, and very few QBs in history have looked NFL ready from the word go. Especially ones on terrible teams. It’s derailed entire careers. Look at Archie Manning.
-

Well, Graham Mertz sucks and he had a career game in his 1st start chewing up Lovie's Tampa 2. Fields should be able to do it too!

He hit an open Kmet that time.

Bring back Lovie, McCaskeys!
-
Lovie took them to the SuperBowl! Never should have fired him.
And only made it to the playoffs once after that.

Third winningest coach in franchise history!

This team has no business losing to the Texans at home. Period. If that happens, the Bears have way bigger problems than the qb. With that being said, Fields looks terrible so far. Hopefully he can bounce back in the 2nd half.

Not his fault. No good QB ever drafted.

At least Texans letting Mills fling it.

-
He was all over giving Fields the Mitch treatment before I started in.
When did you give up on Mitch? 14 starts in?
Probably before that.
Don’t answer. I know the answer, and I don’t really care. When Parkins and Bernstein turn on Fields, you will too. Lol
-
That was our stud #1 WR dropping a pass directly into his chest.
-
You have three timeouts you fucking coward. They don't carry over into the 2nd half.

I’m honestly not sure when I gave yo on Mitch. I can’t recall. I think it was closer to year 2 of Nagy. I had my doubts about Mitch, but I can’t recall “when I gave up on him.”
-
That was our stud #1 WR dropping a pass directly into his chest.
Pssst.... he's not a stud...Al Robinson is no longer around to be the focus of the opposing secondary
-
What an embarrassing ending to the half. Just fucking pathetic.
-
If Fields isn’t markedly improved by midway next season I’ll start piling on. He’s got at least 24-30 starts IMO.
-

How many starts before you call him a cock sucker?
-

24-30 is end of this year. If he still looks like a rookie making his first start in week 17, they better start looking to draft someone else.
-

-
How many starts before you call him a cock sucker?
I called him a cocksucker when he threw the ball 5 yards past the LOS. I mean, who the fuck does that?
I think when he threw the pick today, I just said cock. Left the sucker part out.
-
45 yards passing.
-
He’s got at least that many IMO. Midway next season is when I’ll start judging more harshly. This is practically his rookie year IMO. Last year was bungled so badly.
I’m not willing to throw out last year. He played in actual games.
We’ll see. I’m not ready to call him a bust yet. Nobody knows. But I am concerned.
-
45 yards passing.
How is the Texans secondary? Pro bowlers on it?
Yes, Bears receivers are bad. But if they can’t get open against that, maybe they should just call it a year.

I’m not throwing it out completely, but I’m not counting it as a full year of experience. Nagy did everything he could do to sabotage that season.

So, last year I supported playing Dalton because Nagy sucked so bad, and I didn’t want Fields to get killed. I got yelled at because Fields needed experience.
Fields eventually played. Now I’m hearing that experience doesn’t count.
That’s interesting.
Oh well onward and upward.

Yup. Thanks for the kudos. It was pretty evident Herbert was the better playmaker. More versatility with him. Monty just a bruiser with no vision or receiving acumen. No need for that type of runner in today’s NFL.

Herbie the Love Bug!

Bears as usual have good running backs. The only thing they ever get right on offense.

It counts some. But he wasn’t prepared from the beginning to be the starter, and he clearly wasn’t prepared much at all (by the coaching staff). Did you see his first start in Cleveland? It’s as if Nagy wanted him killed.

Yes. Which is why I didn’t want him to play.
Well, I also didn’t think Nagy was dumb enough to do 7 step drops behind a bad line, but I shouldn’t have been surprised.
-
Defense needs a stop now. They get a stop, should be game over.
-
I’m not sure either defense is good enough to stop these not good offenses.
-
I’m not sure either defense is good enough to stop these not good offenses.
Haha, good point. Yet it’s only 20-17.
Yuck.
-
There ya go, Kyler. He needs to be good.
Edit: Fake. Lovie learning new tricks.
-
Roquan just murdered that RB. Wow
-
Getting pantsed by Lovie Smith.
-
Woof. Nice special teams, Bears.
-
Bears need to start employing the H.I.T.S. Principle on defense.
-
Ok I’ll say it. Mills throws a better ball than Fields. At least today anyways.
-
Maybe Herbert can play both ways.
-
Maybe Herbert can play both ways.
Not that there is anything wrong with that😂
-
Ok I’ll say it. Mills throws a better ball than Fields. At least today anyways.
Mills is a decent prospect, but his ceiling is probably top 15. He was a nice pick in the 3rd round. Good pedigree.
-
Ugh, thought about putting Herbert into a DFS lineup or two, but I felt like I was trying to wish things into existence too hard. Shoulda known it would be a Herbert week after Monty played great last week.
-
Ok, held them to a FG. Now give Herbert the ball and run clock.
Can’t believe we’re sweating this one out. Fuck, man.
-
Man, Fields is stinking it up today, I’ll give you guys that.
-
That throw that Fields just made is why he isn’t trusted. Jesus.
-
I have a feeling Justin has a good fourth quarter
-
Or not
-
Awful, awful decision.
-
This could be his worst start yet
-
That was some good H.I.T.S. Principling there.
-
What the fuck, Fields.
-
Defense stepped up
-
Throwing a bad throw into triple coverage. Just terrible decisions and even worse throws.
-
Shinault with a long TD. Another guy I wanted to wish into existence but after being inactive weeks 1 and 2 couldn’t quite go there lol
-
Throwing a bad throw into triple coverage. Just terrible decisions and even worse throws.
Yeah. They just need to run the ball at this point. It’s not his day.
-
Yay, someone was open and Fields hit him.
-
I'm not about to make Trevor Siemian my best friend like Bears fans love doing with the back up QB because he isn't doing jack shit either. But even the most hardcore Fields fans can't defend this shit.
-

He’s been dreadful today.
-
Now there was a big league throw.
-
Hey, there’s the Lovie Smith dumb challenge!
-
4 fumbles for Fields today as well?! Whether he actually lost them or not doesn’t really matter, as his ball security is also concerning. We can’t even get the exchange between the C and QB correct.
-
Hey, there’s the Lovie Smith dumb challenge!
Some things really do never change.
-
Lovie has to be like 3 for 50 in his career on challenges.
-
4 fumbles for Fields today as well?! Whether he actually lost them or not doesn’t really matter, as his ball security is also concerning. We can’t even get the exchange between the C and QB correct.
You’re trying pretty hard there.
-

Nope
-
You’re trying pretty hard there.
How many times they fuck up the snap today?! How many fumbles he have today?
-
Fields a little dinged up.
-
Mills has all fucking day back there.
-
So help me God, if Siemian comes in and leads a game winning drive, I won’t be able to handle the Chicago meatheads.
-
How many times they fuck up the snap today?! How many fumbles he have today?
I believe they changed Centers today, and even the announcer seemed to blame the first one on the Center.
-

I don’t give a fuck who’s fault it is. It’s concerning. Fields credited with 2 fumbles today.
-
Ok, Justin. You’ve got a chance to save your day, here.
-
Go play action deep off that 19 yard run. Do it now.
-
And of course, 1 yard gain up the middle.
-
At this point I don’t care who wins. I just don’t want OT. 60 minutes of this shit is more than enough.
-
JFC. I suppose that’s Justin’s fault, too. I’m about to give up on Getsy, I can say that much. Not impressed.
-
Just think about it. We could be watching the Bill and the Dolphin

Outcoached by Lovie there.

Thanks, man! Sun shines on a dogs ass some days.
-
Getsy’s misdirection plays seem to fool even less people than Nagy’s.
-
Justin has had a terrible game but I’m not impressed by Luke Getsy at all so far. Should have immediately come back with play-action after a big run. Nope, 1 yard gain up middle then leaves Justin exposed with no chance on 2nd down. Then 3rd and 16
-
Let’s see if the stupid Texans can get in FG range.
-
Buffalo, who I thought had a chance to go 17-0 in trouble.
-
Now that was a bad decision
-
Roquan comes up huge
-
Wow, there’s your impressive Texans’ quarterback lol
-
Woof. Zach Mills, everybody.
-
Wow, there’s your impressive Texans’ quarterback lol
He's been terrible in the 4th quarter. Stanford kid can't take the heat!
-
Ball got tipped, but still.
-
Looks like my 23-17 Bears call was pretty close. Was hoping it would look better.
-
How do you waste a timeout on a kneel down?
-
Nagy would have kicked that on 1st down. Lol
-
What's with the TO there?
-
Can’t take ‘em with ya.
-
Bears! Number 1!
-
And Lovie Renteria takes the loss. He used to be great at beating the chumps.
-
Your 2-1 Bears, everybody. Soak it in.
-
Running game was awesome. Passing game..yuck.

Your 2-1 Bears, everybody. Soak it in.

So, Fields was awful today, no sugar coating it. But I am not panicking or even close to writing him off yet. As I said, I think the picture will be much clearer the middle of next season. If he’s consistently bad 3 games into next year, I will start to panic.
I’m honestly more worried about Getsy at this point. He seems to have no idea how to get an offense into rhythm, and at least by my eyes, seems to follow up every chunk gain with a run up the middle. A really insightful analyst said Getsy was making things more difficult for Justin than they should be. Not that Fields hasn’t stunk, he has.
Getsy’s misdirection plays seem to get blown up with the regularity of Matt Nagy’s. The talent on offense stinks up and down the board. Right now I just want to see Fields make progress, and finish the year upright. I’ve been completely unimpressed with Getsy thus far.
-
DK Metcalf with a man’s touchdown. I wanted the Bears to trade for him when he was rumored to be available. If he’s in next years’ draft and you know what you know, you’re taking him top 5. At least they didn’t have to spend money though. Next year should be a big free agent year for the Bears.

If they are not spending it on Arlington Heights....

Everyone wants to pile on Justin, forgetting that Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, and Tua all looked like shit the first couple years of their career. It’s gonna take some time, he’s clearly not a finished product, and doesn’t have much for help.

Hamp and OB officially concerned about Fields. Hamp said Fields has regressed from last year.

The Giant looks like they stink too. Maybe Mitch Fields can light them up. Or get sacked 9 times in the 1st half like Jay Cutler. It would not shock me either way.

Gutless bullshit calling a run play up the middle on 2nd and 9 from the 11 yard line.
-
Somehow I feel like if the Bears weren’t trying to hide Fields and were letting him act like an actual NFL quarterback then we would bitch about “throwing him to the wolves” too.
-
Getsy is gutless.
-
Gutless Getsy
-
Getsy personally stalled both of those drives.
-
He doesn’t trust his quarterback.
-
Great screen call and execution.
-
He doesn’t trust his quarterback.
Derp.
That was probably the best screen play the Bears have run since the Payton era.
-
And that sucked. Oof.
-
If that was Tom Brady it would have been an incomplete pass.
-
This defense is stinking out loud. No clue where the ball carrier is and no clue how to defend the bootleg.
-
Nice tackling bozos
-
H.I.T. S.S.’ principle Is taking it on the chin.
-
Giants keep running that same play action boot leg and Bears are biting hard every single time.
-
Bears needed that. It was on the verge of getting ugly.
-

Only down 8. Considering how bad the defense has been that’s a blessing.

Giants defenders dropping like flies.

Free run at Fields off the edge. JFC
-
Nice block, Herbert.
-
Giants defenders dropping like flies.
Also spending a lot of time in the Bears’ backfield.
-
Finally has a clean pocket and delivers a completion.
-
Fields has time and makes a nice throw to Mooney. More of that please.
And less of Ebner and more of Herbert please.
-
Gutless Getsy draws up another screen to Kmet.
-
Trubisky just got benched.
EDIT: Pickett got picked on his first pass attempt lol

Was gonna ask if the Trubisky era in Pittsburgh was already over, or if he’d gotten hurt. It’s the right move. Mitch is a backup.

Derp.
That was probably the best screen play the Bears have run since the Payton era.
Derp?
I was just saying he doesn’t trust him. Didn’t say I was a Getsy fan. Damn
Not my fault the Bears suck, dude. Don’t get mad at me.
-
Running up the middle ain't it.
-
There's Poles boy Velus Jones choking in the clutch.
-
Oh Velus. Fuckity fuck.
-
Nice punt return catch. Embarrassing and just gave the game away.
-
Noice. Sand lot football.👍
-
They can't even trust him to chuck a desperation heave.
-
Would’ve been nice to see a Hail Mary and how far he can throw it.
-
Derp?
I was just saying he doesn’t trust him. Didn’t say I was a Getsy fan. Damn

Derp because you’re just regurgitating the party line on Fields. Did you see the pass blocking today? Did you see Getsy personally stall the first two drives deep in Giants territory with gutless runs up the middle on pretty clear passing downs?
-

Again, why is it always “him?” Did you see how many Giants came in unblocked today? Dude is getting sacked on like 30% of drop backs.

When I looked up from working on the computer, he looked like he had some time. He had time when he threw that screen type pass (since no one went out to block) to Kmet for a loss.
-

I actually didn’t see much of the game at all. I chose to enjoy this beautiful weather. I made the right choice.
This team has problems. It’s not just Fields, that’s for sure.

Fields wasn’t mistake free today. But he was a lot better than last week, and not even top 4-5 in reasons we lost.

The fuckin Patriots are on QB3, with a shitload of injuries, and they lead the Packers at halftime.

Twitter is filled with morons and bots. Statistically speaking, he takes too long to throw and guys are open, but he is a shitty QB who doesn't read his progressions.

Though I saw a new graph out there showing that the Bears' percentages for protection and receivers getting open is the worst in the league. So, maybe we should all watch the All 22 and decide for ourselves?

Nice start.

Look at that. Don’t play scared and you might get a big chunk gain via penalty. Wonder if the Bears’ learned something there.
-
Cousins is 13/13. Bears defense isn't even trying to come up with a plan.

Damn I'm still tired. You would thing the PassiveWoman would get up to let the dog out at 7am and take her to the dog park since I got home at 130am, but nooooooo.

That false start and shit throw by Mitch Fields is all Getsy's fault

Cousins is shredding this Bears defense. 16/16, yikes. Jefferson with over 100 yards receiving already.

That false start and shit throw by Mitch Fields is all Getsy's fault
Mitch did all he could, but the receiver was a half step too fast and the ball was thrown behind him.

They are toying with the Bears D

Da Bear: 6

Feels like the wheels are coming off of the H.I.T.S. Principle bus.

Unless I missed it....

If you're gonna put a whooping on my favorite football team, can you at least throw it to Jefferson in the end zone? The receptions, yards and 23 yard pass completion are all nice though.

Surprised not to see Sidney Brown hit a sliding QB there. ....

The gap between Hackett and Eberflus seems to be narrowing.

Still don't like the 3rd and 8 run but it worked out nicely.

Agreed. Rolled my eyes then saw him waltzing into the end zone. Minnesota will probably let this get interesting. Seems to fit their MO.

It’s a minor miracle the Bears are only down 11 points going into the half.

The right play is to go for it. Well read by the corner.

Was screaming at them to go for 2 and they did. Nothing wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with the onside either. Keep up the aggresssiveness.

That was unnecessary. But at least Flus showed some balls.

You mean the only receiver for the Bears to catch a TD?! 🤔

The Bears still have more than a fighting chance. Wow.

Yes. Take the point in the 3rd quarter. Lucky not to be down 8. Branden Staley has proven to be an idiot
Sorry, Miles. Disagree on the going for 2. Only do it in the 4th quarter.

Allen Robinson catches that. That was more of a drop than a good defensive breakup.

Gotta be careful though. That last run he got his bell rung and took a minute to get up with two teammates helping him. Too many of those and he won’t be around long.

Give that guy an Oscar.

Counting on Kirk Cousins being Kirk Cousins is not a bad bet.

Dude…
-
You telling me Alshon, Marshall, or ARob don’t catch that ball? They do 90% of the time at least.

The defender’s hand was clearly blocking the ball before it could get to Mooney’s hands. It was a really good defensive recovery by the defender. You’re reaching.

A true number one is 4 inches taller and high points that ball with stronger hands.

Looks like Fields is gonna possibly have a 2-minute drill here to win the game.

The QB sneak is nearly indefensible. More teams should use it

Lol ok

Lol ok
Considering that extra point is looming large now I'd say you are full of shit with your Bear thoughts.
-
That sound you hear are crickets.
-
Yeah just don't cover Jefferson on the 2 pt conversion either
-
Time to see what Fields has got. Big question is do they go for the 2-point conversion to win the game or kick the PAT and go to overtime?!

Fucking stupid to go for 2 there. But Dan Bernstein and Tempo think that was smart football.

Can’t believe Getsy fumbled that ball there!

Now you can blame someone other than Fields
-
Go out of bounds you fucking dolt.
-
Bears’ receiving corps, ladies and gents.
-
Gtfo of bounds there Smith-Marsette!!
-
Now you can blame someone other than Fields
Fields is why they had a chance to win. You’ve got such a Mitch boner for him you can’t give him credit when he deserves it.
-
Nice way to lose 😂
-
Where is Marion Barber when you need him?
-
And the Getsy call makes no difference.

Kirk Cousins doing his Kirk Cousins thing in the 2d half didn't hurt.

Hard to say. If the Bears go on to score a TD it’s a different game.

A tied game instead of a victory.

If anything, that Mooney play was PI. The guy never really touches the ball, just his arm. And it’s slightly before the ball arrives. A true Alpha high points that pass and more often than not comes down with it.

I'm not blaming him for this game. D was awful 1st half.

Smith-Marsette was also the one called for the block in the back penalty on the Fields TD run. Leave his dumb ass in Minnesota.

If the Bears go on to score it changes the complexion of the Vikings last drive completely. Likely wouldn’t have had nearly as much time. As bad as the Bears played, the refs probably fucked them as much as anything.

Well, Hamp and OB should be entertaining

No, but your Mitch Fields boner is still showing.

Wild nut punch of a day. But I did like some of what I saw. 1) they didn’t give up 2) Fields was by and large pretty good (in 2nd half). Probably got screwed on the TD that was called back. 3) Ebeflus didn’t coach like Lovie. I was really down on Flus after the last few games for calling ultra-conservative games. I was encouraged to see this change, I hope he errs more often on the side of aggression going forward.

The second half, minus the D on the last Viking scoring drive and going for 2, was largely positve.

The Bears, with the lead, give up a 75 yard td drive to lose.
The Illini, with the lead, give up a 75 yard td drive to lose.
The end of game threads on the 2 games. Lol.

If they had only kicked the fg.

Those 3 points would have been nice.

They should have tried to score from the 35, instead of kicking the fg.

NFL Network just had some MNF pregame bit on DBs breaking up passes. Yes, the Purported Mooney Drop in the end zone was featured. They showed the play from behind the D and you could see that Mooney had 3 to 4 yards on the guy and was wide open. The guy made up that distance to get his hand on the ball (as the segment featured DBs breaking up passes, not drops). The throw was late.

Bingo.
Of course you couldn’t tell that in the fuzzy photo. BUT even if you could…
Getsy had him throw it way too late.
-
The list of truly difference making qbs who can hit a timing pattern in his 1st 20 starts is short.
-
Two different staffs have coached him now and clearly they aren’t even working with him. I’m guessing he just plays as himself on Madden in the locker room while the rest of the team goes through drills.
Gutless Getsy.

Tempo will die on this hill becaus Fields is black and his white coach’s are letting him down !

Mooney literally sidestepped a linebacker then sidestepped the DB and split in between them and was alone for a brief second. The ball had to be thrown with loft. It was anything but a given Mooney would be open on that play. But don’t give up your Mitch Fields schtick because it’s “killing.”
-
Mooney juked and split two defenders and was alone briefly, it’s not like Fields missed him streaking down the sideline.

This is the formation pre-snap on the play. Expecting Fields to perfectly time up Mooney literally doing two “crossover” moves on two players and splitting them in between seems to be a pretty high bar.

8:27 mark. He was on the run, so he could not throw the balk when Mooney was by himself open.

It just got overly repetitive and too gambling focused. Did you know Parkins likes weed?!
At the end of the day, getting the Cub may have killed any semblance of interesting thoughts the hosts had. Doug Buffone dying killed the Bear post game show.
-
I only listen to ESPN if The Score is talking about something incredibly boring. Like Marathon talk or Saturday baseball shows during football season.
-
Almost everyone on ESPN sounds the same to me.
-
I didn’t care for him at first, but Parkins grew on me. He’s pretty good at his job. I do feel he needs someone like Spiegel to smooth his edges a bit.

Haugh is bland. Mully yells too much. The producers talking was miserable.
Never liked Bernstein.
I liked Larry Holmes on the Bear postgame show on TV. I liked the casualness of his evening show in doses.
Parkins has always been annoying to me. Thought Spiegel was fine talking baseball pre Cub.
I have been listening to Dan McNeil's new podcasts which are Bear/NFL focused and generally 40 minutes or so.
-

-
I like Mully and Haugh, but I disagree with them often. And I let them know it through the text line. Bernstein has mellowed quite a bit. He’s great at his job. He and Holmes make a great pairing. Parkins and Spiegel are probably my favorite show, but to be honest, I kind of enjoy them the most when they are just riffing and barely talking sports.
-
Dan McNeil is a dinosaur and barely listenable. I was actually glad when they canned him. Part of me likes him, but that guy had been mailing it in for years.

McNeil was only credible on football and hockey, and hockey talk makes me want to shoot myself in the face.

Yes, he was. Now he just talks about the Bear game and the other games around the league. There is some point spread talk and old sport talk radio stories sprinkled in. Like I said, it is usually only 40 to 50 minutes, 2x a week. Seems manageable for him to keep it interesting and moving at this point.

Loving the orange helmets.

Throw the fucking ball Fields!!

Getsys' fault. Kirk Herbstreit's fault.

Then he threw to a wide open receiver and it was nowhere close to the WR. He’s got a lot to work on.

Good drive stopped by INT in the red zone. Terrible decision by Fields. He stared down Kmet and bounced it off a defenders helmet. Had a WR wide open in the top flat he never even looked at. Not going through progressions.

Ain’t nobody scared of Eddie Jackson “blasting” them 😂

There’s my guy Herbert. Much better option than Montgomery.

Herbert = stud

Damn Fields, what the fuck dude?!

Why’s that funny?

Definitely nothing to blame Getsy for so far. Great play calling, just terrible execution.
-
I'm sure in 30 more starts, Fields will be able to hit a wide open receiver on a 10 yard pass.

NGL, even Mitch makes that easy completion for 6.

I know, pretty controversial take.

A halfway decent team (which the Bears are not) would be up 3 scores on the POS Washington Redskins/Football Team/Commanders by now.
-
Another miss. Wide open crossing receiver for a first down. He makes up his mind before the snap. Completely ignores his progressions. That will need to change if he plans on having a future. Hopefully the game slows down for him soon. Even the announcers are pointing it out.

Newsnation needs hot babes in low plunging shirts, not Chris Cuomo.

Not making excuses for Fields, he’s been bad this first half, but Tom Brady says he knows where he’s going with it pre-snap.

By and large I think Getsy’s approach has improved a lot the last game and a half, but need to get Justin out of the pocket more. Straight drop backs play right into Washington’s hands.
-
Let’s start this half by turning them over.
-
Don't know what's worse. Justin Fields performance or that "attempt" at comedy.
-
Lol Braxton Jones
-
Nice 1st down catch and run by Velus.
-
There ya go. Designed rollout.
-
That was a nice throw
-
Fields is gonna die tonight.
-
Now that was a perfect throw
-
Piss poor production work there. They didn’t catch the play till the ball was in the air. I wasn’t even aware it had been snapped.
-
Sure, he’s not a finished product, but I don’t know how a Bears fan can trash Justin Fields so early in his career. Kid is tough, works hard, and has amazing tools. He’s gonna need more help and some time.
-
Wanted Pickens with one of those 2nd round picks, but I think Brisker and Gordon are going to be nice players.
-
Now that I think about it, Alec Pierce would be a great fit with Fields, too. Pierce can ball.
-
C’mon defense. Get the lead and let them march it right back down?
-
Fields makes an amazing deep TD pass (with a catch just as amazing) and this place goes dark.
-
I am excited about having so much cap space and high draft pick next year. If Pace does what they did in KC, we’ll be set up pretty nicely. As much money as we’ll have, it’s very intriguing.

No chance in hell when a guy is in your grill immediately. Even for a dynamic runner like Fields.

Heard someone discuss how no one does this anymore and coaches just coach their "system" regardless of their roster. Probably was Lombardi.
Maybe Belichick is one who schemes based on his roster? Does that sound right? Anyone else?

Feel free to expound.
It was a lot of what you've read here.
Your HonestNFL tweet is part of what was said, but this is nothing new. Drafting players to fit your system is one thing. Drafting players who don't fit your system, but trying to make them fit doesn't always work well.
Fields doesn't read his progressions and holds onto the ball too long.
He needs to work outside the pocket.
He's getting killed in the pocket, but he'll probably get killed outside the pocket too tho this wasn't said.
Getsy is calling plays to fit his system rather than Fields abilities.
And the best for last. The Bears couldn't score on their last possession because the playbook of plays they trust Fields with was empty. Ouch.

The Bears are worse than having a glitch on your Uber app.

Tom Thayer was on the score reiterating a lot of what I was saying. Way too many straight drops and not putting Fields in a position to succeed. That’s not to say Fields didn’t shoot himself in the foot on multiple occasions.

You seriously are a turd stain of a human.

I do love reading your twitter feed. It's very entertaining. Especially when you tweet at the CEO of Uber and tell him you're desperate and going broke.
Sorry, but that's fucking hilarious.

Jeez.
Oh well. Continue on with calling people dipshits and then telling me that I'm sick. Haha!

I did stumble on your feed. I was looking at comments on some dipshit tweet by Parkins, and there you were. I didn't set out to look for you. And it's not like you were hiding. We look at some of the same shit. Eventually, when you comment on shit like you do, you're easy to find.
And I don't look at your feed every day. I have better things to do. I just happened to peek yesterday, mostly because there was a Bears game (that I forgot about) and I wanted to see how much Justin Fields cock you were sucking. I did "stumble" on the Uber stuff, and not gonna lie, I laughed my ass off.
So, Tempo. How can you say you're desperate and going broke when you play fantasy football and bet on games, like all the time? Genuinely curious.
And, do you actually rely on Uber driving as your primary source of income? Hilarious if true.
If they don't fix their app, maybe you could drive for Lyft. Or there's always Yellow Checker. lol

And yes, I aired them out gleefully. Because it's fucking hilarous. Tweeting at the CEO of Uber. That's fucking awesome.

Ok, I'm going back to work. It's been fun, but I have stuff to do.

Tempo, what exactly is the issue with Uber? They stiff you when driving or something? Maybe Calvin or I could help?

Are they even still in the league?
Would have liked to see the opposite angle.

So, I’ve been driving Lyft/Uber for about 5 years. It got me out of a job I hated. I wanted more control over my life. I make my own hours. Have no boss. Spend a lot more time with my kid, and can make more than 2k in a solid week; sometimes without breaking a sweat.
My app has had a major glitch which has dramatically affected my ability to make money. I can get rides, but I’ll never make bonuses (which is what makes driving Uber worth it). I’ve been to the Hub a couple of times, they say they’ve never seen this problem before. I’ve contacted support at least a dozen times and they always give the “we’re so sorry to hear this, we’ve escalated the issue. Please check your email regularly for communication (the emails never come)” response.
I guess message board rivalries are real important life matters because apparently Jobu thinks it’s hilarious that I’m going broke over this. Pretty funny when a guy with a 7 year old to support has his income slashed for a stupid reason. I’m glad Jobu has reached such a high station in life that he’s amused and pleased by such occurrences. Apparently ‘97 thinks it’s hilarious, too. Can’t say I’m surprised. These sports message board rivalries are SERIOUS stuff.
-
Oh, and Jobu is a sick obsessed fuck.

I don't think it's hilarious that you're going broke. It's hilarious that you announced that you're going broke on Twitter. And you tweeted at the CEO, like he's gonna start writing code to fix your glitch. That's hilarious.
So, are you still playing fantasy football and gambling your ass off? Maybe if you would have saved some of that money, you wouldn't be going broke. Just a thought.
As far as rivalries, this is very much one sided. I give zero fucks about you. It's not serious stuff at all. I've been laughing my ass off at you all day. Keep up the name calling, tho. That is also hilarious.
-
Dude. You scroll my Twitter history. You clearly “give a fuck about me.”

I’m just calling a spade a spade. You are one demented twisted piece of shit. I would never laugh at your real life misfortune. You know why? I’m not a shit stain of a human being.

Lol

I look at your feed (not that often, really) for comedy. It’s funny when you comment at people that piss you off and call them names.
Believe me, I really couldn’t care less about you. It’s all for laughs.
They’ll fix your god damn app. Jesus. It’s gotta be fixable. It’s not like your fucking house burned down. Lol
-
Well it’s been 5 weeks. And they’ve told me 15x they’ve “escalated the issue.” I’m starting to think they’re lying…
I do think it’s funny you claim to give “zero fucks about me,” yet occasionally stroll my Twitter feed and use my name and likeness to create profiles. Knowing you you’ve probably posted my stuff to gay sex sites.

What am I up to on Facebook? No doubt you’ve checked it out.

Hadn’t thought of that, lol. As funny as that would be, I wouldn’t do that. And I’m not on Facebook. Facebook sucks dick.
PA Man offered to help you out. Maybe he can scare the shit out of them with some legal threats. Worth considering.
It’s amazing to me that he’s willing to help you at all, given that you called him a dipshit at least twice in the last 24 hours. But I’m the one with the problems, according to Dr. Tempo, psychiatrist and diamond Uber driver.
I honestly thought Uber driving is what people did to get extra spending money. I had no clue people did that shit full time, lol.
I’m confident your app will get fixed, and you’ll be pissing money away on DFS and gambling in no time. Keep the faith.
-
If I wasn't a dipshit, I might delete the app and start from scratch. Or if it was my source of income, get a new phone.
-
Pretty sure I’ve been called worse than dipshit on here multiple times by multiple people. Unlike some others, I don’t take the overwhelmingly majority of what’s said here that seriously. Especially stuff in the sports forums. PAMan is a dipshit I’d be willing to have a beer with, and he knows that.
-
TBH, I never used to name call here at all. Not really sure when I started. Wouldn’t say I’m proud of it.

Some really good stuff here. I agree with:
1) Fields threw 2 potential game winning TDs to the hands of the receivers.
2) Mooney is a 2b
3) Heard a couple other former pros criticize Griffin’s route/running. I still think Justin has to make that throw, however.
4) Fields’ margin for error is practically zero given what’s around him.
5) play-calling last set of downs was bad.

Watched the video of the conversation that may be the genesis of the article. Not sure I agree that a similarly situated Poles drafted QB would not be playing with this line. Year 2 you're generally expected to play, don't you think?
I hope the kid turns it around and can be a good consistent QB.
-
Reasonable minds can see things differently, but it’s fair to question with the utter lack of resources spent on the offense. Would Poles let Bryce Young deal with a rookie 5th round LT? It’s fair to question.

https://youtu.be/Czci50oF8Ms

Didn't watch all of them. But looking like Getsy is drawing up plays where guys get open and he is either too hesitant (or lacking trust, in Warner's words), his arm angle does not align with his footwork, or the line falters.
-
Nice drive. I was thinking, keeping his eyes down field on the 20 yard pass. Troy Aikman then agreed. Then I thought, he's going through his progressions! Again Troy Ailman agreed. I have been AOTC on Troy Aikman's analysis. He did have a few concussions.

Didn't zip the ball in there and then took a sack (and fumbled)..Ugh.

Well, this game is over. Zappe >>> Fields.

Jaylon Johnson having a rough game

Bears’ defense went to shit in a heartbeat. Roquan got hooked by the tackle. That was way too easy of a TD for Stevenson.

Defense looked really good in the 1st quarter. Looked like high schoolers last two drives.

How you can watch Fields do that and not be rooting for him is beyond me. Kid is tough as nails. That’s my quarterback.

20 points in the half and none came from defensive scores or special teams.

Woukd be nice to turn Belichick's end of the half/start of the 3rd quarter scoring thing against him here

Getsy!!!!

Not a single player on this roster can field a punt cleanly?

That’s supposed to be the one thing Pettis can do. It is slick out there tonight though, in his defense.

Up 9 and now Getsy is pass happy. Run the damn ball.

I thought ESPN was showing a Bears game from 1985
Good to see them play a good game.

Have to question Belichick for making Fields look good. The Pats guys I know are livid.
-
11/18 on 3rd down
That'll win you a lot of games.
-
Also the Bears first ever win in Foxborough
-
Outside of Fields having his best game from start to finish, the big story is the coaching staff clearly made some good adjustments with the extra few days off. Good self-scouting and sensible adjustments are something we pretty much never saw from the previous regime. Still think I’d rather have Daboll, though.

Need consistency out of everyone, including the coaching staff. Hopefully they can handle Dallas on short rest.

Fields was Jekyll and Hyde there for awhile, but put together an overall very solid game. Actually a fun game.

On ESPN this morning, all of the Patriots cheerleaders disguised as media members were pouting. It was even funnier than I thought it would be. The turmoil about Mac Jones is especially entertaining. After all, he's a former SEC player AND a Patriot! How do we spin THIS? Hahahaha! Quite fun and nowhere close to over.
-
Love how the Mannings want the Bear to run it up on Belichick
That was also hilarious. I think Eli qualified his statement by saying he had Montgomery in his fantasy league.
That part of the broadcast was a little jumbled. They were talking to Vince Vaughn, who was way more entertaining than I thought he would be, or perhaps it was the side attraction of the Patriots getting pwned. Anyway, he tried to start a conversation with Eli, but Peyton (the thinking man of that Algonquin gathering) knew they had to cut to a commercial and dump Vince from the session, so he abruptly ended the dialogue.

Really late 4th rounder. So almost a 5th. They should have traded him draft day (if they could have) and maybe gotten a 3rd.

It’s what I’d at least hope you would get for a guy with 18.5 sacks the previous year. Yes, he’s kind of old, but we’ve seen teams selling out to win now.
-
Being a little hard on Poles for not being AOTC on Quinn, aren't you, Tempo?
-
How could one not be “AOTC” on Quinn? He clearly didn’t fit in the timeline of the Bears’ long term picture, and was coming off an 18.5 sack year. Trading him at peak value should have been a no-brainer.
-
Of course, it’s possible this was peak value all along; but I think they could have gotten more on draft day (possibly). One thing is for sure, a mediocre at best start to this year didn’t increase his value.
-
I missed your posts calling for him being traded.
-
It’s on page 1 of the draft thread.
-
Also on page 3. I was also critical of the Velus Jones pick.
-
I hope that the word DJ Moore is available is true, and the Bears go get him. He’s a top 15 talent at the position IMO. Deebo Samuel lite IMO.

But they are not paying him $100 million going forward.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing them flip that 2nd they just got for a stud wideout.
I’d spend it on DJ Moore.
-
But they are not paying him $100 million going forward.
They were not going to re-sign him. We knew that already.

Chase Claypool to the Bears. Sounds like it's for the 2nd round pick they got for Roquan.

I like the pickup. He’s young, has all the size/intangibles, production, and good contract. Even if it is for their own 2nd rounder.
Good job, Poles.
Edit- it appears that ESPN doesn’t agree with me 😂 giving the Bears a D- grade 😬

I’m betting they had to throw in their own 2nd to keep him away from the Packers.😄
I’m with you. They had to give Fields some help. This is a big step forward in that direction.

If all else fails you get to see what Fields can do with a legit receiver for this year and next. Doesn’t work then well you’re not obligated any after that. He’s only barely 24 too. Nobody is saying he HAS to be a #1 in the future but he currently will be. Bears can even add a stud WR in the draft over him. Again, I like the move.
-
Rumor has it the Bears are looking to unload Fields if they can get Ian Book 1st.
-
They got bent over if that’s the case. I like Claypool’s talent, but he’s a knucklehead. I really hope it wasn’t a 2nd rounder.
-
I can’t believe they had to give up a 2nd to get Chase Claypool. Too much IMO.
-
I am seriously pissed about this. They apparently gave up a pick likely to be higher than he was even drafted, for Pittsburgh’s #3 WR.
-

I disagree. While I like the fact that they're willing to trade some picks for proven players, I think he's the wrong guy. He's unhappy in Pittsburgh because not enough targets. Don't think he'll see more here. Why do you think the Steelers drafted Pickens? He's a problem for the locker room and off the field as well. Fields needs help but I'm not sure how much this will help.

Agreed. I absolutely hate this pickup. Especially for the price. He should have been a 4th at most IMO.
-

Yeah, he's a turd. Well documented. High price for him.
I was all for using the Roquan 2nd to get a stud wideout. But not Claypool. And especially not for the actual 2nd the Bears have.
-
This, I guess…would have been very happy with DJ Moore for that pick.

If they want to support Fields with "talent," Poles should be getting linemen.
-
I am seriously pissed they gave up their high 2 for Claypool. He’d better work out.
-
Seems like a risky move.
-
Seems like a risky move.
You’re capable of much better.
-
Just hate giving up a high 2nd for Pittsburgh’s #3 receiver. DK Metcalf and AJ Brown were 2nd rounders.
If Claypool isn’t a difference maker for us, that pick could have been used on the best Center in the draft, or a high end RT or starting DL or LB. We have a lot of needs to be spending our highest picks on reclamation projects.
-
Having said that, he is talented. Just seems like a Ryan Pace move.
-
Ok, have had a few hours to get over the fact they probably overpaid. Will try to focus on the potential, which is considerable. Would feel better if he wasn’t known to have maturity issues. I hope he has a valid drivers license.

-
It comes down to this for me. Claypool is probably better than any 2nd round WR in the last two years, at least to this point. He’s clearly talented. Don’t like that he has the reputation of being a knucklehead. I still think they overpaid, but with GB offering a 2 and a weak free agent class upcoming, I guess that’s the price.
This move could help unlock Mooney, too. Mooney can go back to the slot, where he should be more successful. I just hope Poles asked to see his drivers license.
-

Did you, or did you not, see Parkins' take before you posted your change in reflection on the trade post?
-
Did you, or did you not, see Parkins' take before you posted your change in reflection on the trade post?
I didn’t listen to the show at all yesterday. So I don’t know what their full takes were. I did get additional information I wasn’t privy to when I first heard the news. So after absorbing the initial sticker shock, I came to the conclusion I didn’t hate the trade as much.
Parkins was hugging Nagy’s nuts long after I was out on Nagy. Parkins is probably my least favorite daytime host at the Score. I rather enjoy it sometimes when he’s not there. But I’m also glad when he’s back. It’s nice to have a “Parkins break” occasionally.
-
Did you, or did you not, see Parkins' take before you posted your change in reflection on the trade post?
I also posted that I still hated the trade after posting the Parkins tweet. So clearly, that wasn’t my immediate tipping point.
-
I did hear a couple of other opinions that swayed me some, like Stacy Dales made a good argument for the trade. I guess I just jump on board with whatever Stacy Dales says…
-
Don't target Grandpa Jones anymore now please.
-
Tempo tl;dr: yes, I changed my opinion after reading Parkins' and someother guy's opinions.

No. The question was Parkins' specific since we all know you like Parkins' takes.

Rosie was a little known character. He didn't seem to surf or skydive, but evidently was a stone cold killer and friend of Bodhi. He built the fire on the beach. And kidnapped bitches.

I liked Point Break. The scene at the bank where Gary Busey is chewing out John McGinley is pure gold.

Again, literally all I’ve heard or seen from Parkins since the trade was that tweet. If Parkins was that influential over me, I wouldn’t have still posted about how much I disliked it after posting his tweet.
Again, you guys are children.
After learning the Packers were going to give a 2nd, looking at WRs drafted in round 2, and learning that the FA class next year is weak, it didn’t smell quite as bad. I still don’t love the deal. But if his drivers license is valid, it’s a big plus.
-
And again, I hadn’t stopped to consider that this allows Mooney to line up in the slot, which should benefit him and the offense. Also, it’s a move that suggests Poles is pleased with Fields’ progress.
-
Didn't see this movie. Presuming it is a movie reference.
You didn’t see Point Break? Iconic 90s movie. Rosie was a simpleton who once you set him in motion there was no turning him off.

Exactly. Not saying Fields has been prime Peyton Manning, but he’s had a lot of well thrown balls (touchdowns and deep balls among them) dropped.
Anyone not encouraged by his play lately is going out of their way to be negative.
-
And it’s not just the running or the passing. Lots of praise from experts (former QBs and whatnot) about how great his ball handling is how much more command he’s showing at the line of scrimmage.
As I said, anyone not pretty encouraged by what they’ve seen the last few weeks is going out of their way to focus on any perceived negatives.
-
So let’s again consider the woeful shortcomings of said O-line, WR corps, front 7, inexperienced secondary.
Giants: Velus Jones fumbles punt costing Bears chance at game tying drive.
Vikings: Smith-Marsette fumbles ball after catch costing Bears chance at game tying drive.
Commanders: Fields delivers good pass to Mooney in which he fails to run route deep enough or high point ball and comes up 1/3 of a yard short.
Cowboys: Fields plays good game but fails to put up 50 against arguably the best defense in the league (on the road).
Dolphins: EQ St. Brown drops perfectly delivered side arm throw on 4th down to end Bears chances of game winning drive.
PAMan: “Why the fuck isn’t Justin Fields winning? Where are the WINS? Bobby Douglass was a good runner…why did the Illini miss too many free-throws against EIU? This will cost them in March.”

Yes, it is better than before, because before was brutal for the most part. I'm glad there is improvement. Tons left to work on. Hope he can figure out the passing because he is going to get killed running the ball. You see that Josh Allen is hurt, right?

You mean the play where he got hurt while throwing from the pocket?
Are you laying down for me right now? Are you leaning into the bit? You’re making this way too easy.
-
I didn't want to mention leading the league in sacks to go along with leading the team in rushing attempts.
He might make it thru the season. His athleticism might do it for him, but I'm not sure it's a good game plan.
And you think that’s all on him? How many sacks has he avoided? 25?
-
Anyone who thinks Fields hasn’t been vastly improved as a passer the past 5 weeks isn’t watching the games, or has some sort of hang up they can’t get over.

The irony of the guy who consistently posts in the wrong forum calling others "dimwits" is not lost by anyone, is it?

As a matter of fact....
Who the hell watches ESPN unless there is a game on?
Again, Justin Fields praise and enthusiasm is all over the place. That was just one clip…

Josh Allen takes a lot of hits because he runs a lot. Know he is hurt. Are you a medical doctor or Hub Arkush and can definitively say his injury is the result of one hit or play?

Next year, different story. They should be expected to be one of the most improved teams in the NFL next year. Next year…

The unfortunate part is Justin Fields will keep this team out of the top (bottom) 5 in the draft.

Why wouldn’t they be? They have tons of free agent money, another draft, and their division should be ripe for the picking. The wicked witch appears to be dead. Minnesota is ok, but they aren’t a juggernaut by any stretch. The Bears could certainly win the division next year.

Other teams in the division will try and get better too. You expect the Packer to not get some wideouts, etc?

Correct, after 19 starts and surrounded by practice squad talent, he’s yet to show he’s the next Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. Can’t argue with you there.

Aaron Rodgers isn’t getting younger or better. He looks a long way from MVP form. They could bounce back, but with a good free agent class and a good draft there’s no reason the Bears shouldn’t compete in a thoroughly mediocre NFC.

I guess that would depend on whether he fucked his ex after his son was born. If so, the answer is yes.
Of course, said ex could have already been a mother prior to this. So many variables...
Another alternative is he could have fucked other mothers.
So, I don't know. I would say it's better than 50/50 that he is in fact a mother fucker.

Spencer Petras has been as hot as NFL wonderkid Justin Fields lately.

Usually good. I’ve seen occasions where it didn’t help. Also, 200 per game. If we’ve gotten to where we’re comparing Petras to Fields we’ve reached an all new level of dumb for this forum, and that’s plunging to irretrievable depths.

Other people got the story. Oh well.
Grant was 13 and went duck hunting with a couple of friends on Armistice Day 1940. One had access to a car, but the story doesn't mention if he had a valid drivers license.
They stayed at a cabin on a lake and went out hunting that day. The weather turned miserable while they were out and they figured they better hightail it.
They were on the road and a couple of cars on the road were stranded by the blizzard. Everybody stayed in 1 car at a time to stay warm and conserve gas. The next morning, Grant still in waders was tasked with going for help. He was the only one who's feet would stay dry. He found a gas station after an hour and stayed with the Mrs and her daughter for 2 1/2 days.
His 2 friends and the occupants of the other cars were rescued by a farmer who found them when he went out to get the deer he had hung a few days earlier. They stayed with him for 2 1/2 days.
A few years later ....
After graduating high school, Grant signed up for the Navy and Blank, the Army. They remained friends, and when they were discharged, they pooled their $200 cash-out money, took a bank loan and together bought hunting land in northwest Wisconsin.
"It wasn't too long before Bill wanted to get married and needed money, so he asked me to buy him out,'' Grant said. "So I took out another loan and paid him.
"At the time, I was playing ball at the U and paid off the loans by scalping tickets to Gophers games.''
Grant still owns the land.
154 people died in the storm and many were duck hunters.

Fields playing great and the Bears losing is a best case scenario. If we have Jalen Carter at the 3 technique next year, we’ll be glad we lost a couple extra games. That’s going to require a top 5-6 pick.

There are hot takes and then there is reality. The reality is he needs to be better when they know he has to pass. Granted, they need to move the pocket to help him because the line sucks.

"It continued a trend that concerns Bears coaches and players alike: on 16 possessions when tied or trailing by a touchdown or less this season, the Bears have managed only two touchdowns and two field goals."
18 yards of offense on 16 plays in the 4th quarter doesn't cut it.
-
Don’t really disagree, but that’s far from being entirely on Fields. He’s had multiple drops in key situations and late in games.
Overall, Getsy didn’t have his best game Sunday. He made the offense too predictable in the 4th quarter. The O-line still doesn’t pass block well in obvious passing situations.
He’s putting up 30 points a game with end of the roster backups as his offense, I’m not concerned about him being able to score (at some point) when it matters.
I don’t agree that Fields is an MVP candidate, but just showing that there is some really high level of praise for Fields out there. Which is proof he’s made some really big strides (even if he doesn’t have a 300 yard passing game!). Hard to throw for 300 when they barely call pass plays. What Fields is doing is opening up things for the entire offense. He’s not a finished product, but he’s on the verge of being the next big star.
-
While true that his running is opening up the O, that seems to be happening for the 1st 3 quarters. Once the 4th hits, things seem to change.
If they are tanking for a draft pick as you claim, don't you tell him to try and stay in the pocket and throw the ball instead of designing runs for him? Accomplishes 2 things, one, they will lose, and two, he will get experience in the pocket (but will take his lumps).

Again, he’s had some drops and penalties (or non-calls) work against him. And also again, I fully acknowledge he’s not a finished product. The kid is already performing near miracles, not fair to expect perfection. 30 points a game with this unit is crazy production.

I’ve never said they are full-on tanking (i.e. losing on purpose). But they are content to let the chips fall where they may with the rebuild. Of course the players and coaches are trying to win the game in front of them.
I do think they are likely to start throwing more (and from the pocket) moving forward. You’ve got to find out what you have in people like Jones Jr, Harry, Claypool, and the OLine.

I think we know what they have in the O line

You’ve got two 2nd year guys and a rookie. Still lots to learn about them. The jury is still out. But I think at least, they add two starters next year. Just a question of where.

Khalil Herbert to the IR. Hip injury.

That helps the tanking process.

Coke Kmet didn’t practice, thigh injury. Jaylon Johnson could be a candidate to miss the Atlanta game.

In all seriousness though, it’s crazy to think of how close the Bears are to being 6-4 or even 7-3. Several games came down to a drop, unconverted catch, bad call, no call etc. change one play in multiple games and the Bears could absolutely be 6-4 and in the playoff picture.

I can’t believe a 2nd year QB can’t elevate a roster that’s built to lose to win. It makes ZERO sense!

Bears converting failed Chilean TE to defensive line. But why can’t Justin Fields will them to victories?

You went from noting how close they were to being in the playoff hunt to it being a roster built to lose. You need to pick a lane at some point.

Not according to PAMan. It’s Justin Fields’ fault.

To sum up my thoughts on this subject…
-I’m all for the Bears losing as much as possible this year.
-I know from what I’ve seen this year that Fields is our QB of the future. At least for the next 2 seasons. I’m ok with that.
-I like seeing him do well and us losing. So the end of games I’m just not concerned about currently. Do that next year and I’ll have my reservations about him and be ready to move on at the end of his rookie contract. Hopefully then our roster will be better all around to take a rookie on a rookie deal to be in a position to succeed.
-Yes Fields has the worst supporting cast in the NFL around him and despite that he’s played very well the past 3-5 weeks.
-Still lots of improvement needed. Why do we need a definitive answer on him right now? He’s proved enough to warrant next year, so why not give him that? That’s all we need to know right now until a better supporting cast comes along. I would PREFER we don’t win those games right now and he performs badly in the 4th quarter.

In the past few weeks I’ve encountered about 3 people who think Justin Fields isn’t an NFL quarterback, and all of them post here…

I’m pretty disappointed Justin Fields let Cordarrelle Patterson return that kick for a touchdown. It’s QB’ing 101 dude. Don’t let that happen. #alltheblamealltheglory
-
Fields has said that in Oct he aggravated a left shoulder injury that occured previously.
He's said that it affects his throwing motion. If his accuracy issues are due to his shoulder injury, it might be nice to find out when the initial injury occured.
Maybe he just needs a healthy left shoulder. Until then, I'm not sure that leading the team in carries week in and week out is the answer.
-
Hadn’t heard of this injury until this morning. Hmmmm.
-
Dr. Chao says the most probable injury is an AC joint sprain. The pain can be played through, but I’d rather they give him a week or two off.

Yeah we know what we have now after these last few weeks. Hell, I’m good with sitting him the rest of the season honestly. He’s shown he’s our QB of the near future. No need in risking that any further this season. Especially when we’re just tanking anyways.
-
I wouldn’t be against the idea of shelving him, but I’d rather he play if healthy. I definitely wouldn’t throw him out there if he’s not at least 95% though.

It says a lot about your narrow-mindedness that you reject all sources of analysis that aren’t your own. Like, you don’t even see other opinions as having any validity.

So I just now went back and listened to the Thayer interview you are referencing. At no point did Thayer express “doubt” about Fields as an NFL quarterback. What he said specifically is that Fields needs more passing reps (and no one, and I mean no one disagrees with that). He did say he’s not always making timely decisions and getting the ball out fast enough. And no one disagree swith that either. That’s why I’m always mocking you with the “why isn’t he perfect?!” taunts.
What he also said about Fields, he doesn’t believe this offense is sustainable (which makes me wonder if he’s watched the Ravens the past few years); but I’m not lobbying for Fields to run 18x per game either.
He also praised Fields’ toughness and professionalism. He said he’s “all for Justin,” which would seem to imply he believes in him long term. He just wants more passing reps, which is a perfectly reasonable take. Not the “where’s the 300 yard passing games and wins; he’s a good RB” jackassery you’ve been pedaling.
At no point have I said Fields is a finished product. Your listening and interpretational skills are surprisingly lacking for a lawyer.
Fields is a dynamic talent, who’s improved a lot but still has a ways to go. It’s also important to understand he has very limited “help.” Meaning, next to none. Expecting a 2nd year QB to perform at an All-Pro level with what he has around him is beyond unreasonable. Yes, he still makes mistakes. More than we want to see. He’s not where he should be in a year or two, but he’s clearly progressing.

I didn't listen to it. I was looking to see if Dr. Ho had been on and saw the headline and description.
In sum you just established support for why The Score sucks. They put up a misleading headline for clicks. It also sounds like Thayer said a lot of the same things that the only 3 people you communicate with who are skeptical of Fields as an NFL QB have said here. Thanks.
-
JudgeJudy of all people has been the voice of reason here on Justin Fields. “We’ve seen enough to know that he deserves to be here for another year or two at a minimum.” I’ve never argued more than that. All I’ve argued for is a bit of patience, and then you insert your jackassery on the lack of 300 yard games, wins, and lack of progesss (the last of which isn’t true at all). He’s clearly been better the last 5-6 games than he was the first 3.

"Asked how big of a challenge it would be to reconfigure the offense without Fields, Eberflus expressed little concern.
“I don’t think that would take that much,” he said. “We would just lean on one side of the offense as opposed to leaning on the side that we’ve expanded to to a certain degree. I think that would be a pretty easy transition.
“Trevor is obviously a very smart individual, a very good passer."
So we'll have him play QB, instead of wingback.

This went under the radar. Lucas Patrick done for the year. Probably has played his last down with the Bears.
A few days ago I asked the PAMan how many of the offensive line and receivers he wants as long term starters. He demurred (shocker). I’ll go ahead and answer my own question. On the offensive line, I’m probably ok with Tevin Jenkins at RG. Outside of that, everyone needs to be replaced (or improve fairly dramatically).
For the sake of this debate we will say 3 WR sets count as starters. I’m ok with Claypool and Mooney (but not enthusiasticly). But if there isn’t a WR on the roster better than them, that is a problem. Cole Kmet is fine. He’s a decent player. Don’t think I see All-Pro in his future.
Speaking of which, how many future (1st team) Pro-Bowlers are there in the OL or Receiver room? If I was betting, I’d say zero.
So to sum it up, we have 3-4 usable pieces (with not much visible upside), and about 5 players that probably need to be replaced outright.

Apparently we are not talking about a realistic roster construction if you are getting rid of 4 O lineman in one year. If we are NOT talking realistically. I'd get rid of every lineman except Jenkins, every wideout except Mooney, keep Kmet and the RBs, and go get a real QB. Completely unrealistic, but there it is. If we are dealing in reality, let me know.
And what's with the "improve fairly dramatically" part? It seems like a no brainer that they all need to improve dramatically in pass blocking or need to be replaced.
Will you get to my question about what offense Getsy was supposed to run given Fields' (and the line's) passing deficiencies? Seems like he started running the wing because of said deficiencies.
-
Note: The Ram replaced 4? O lineman this year and it does not appear to be working well.
-
I didn’t say 4 would be replaced. I said it would be ideal for 4 to be replaced. We know that’s not very likely. So a decent amount of the trash will still be here next year.

There’s a couple of players (mostly Jones and Borom) who I don’t think the book is entirely written on. Jones could be a decent player, it might not be at LT. Borom isn’t terrible, but still young enough to get better.
-
So which reality am I supposed to look at this: Reality or Tempo Reality?
The question is pretty simple. Who do you envision or more importantly “want” as long-term answers. It’s not that hard. Again, there a few young players who’s careers aren’t yet defined. Jones and Borom have the potential to be good players, but I wouldn’t label them that as of yet. Kmet. Is he actually “good?” That’s yet to be determined. He’s at last good enough for now, because he’s going to have to be. I don’t see them going hard at TE in the draft or FA. Too many other needs.
-
The point of the exercise isn’t rebuilding the roster next year. It’s “who do you feel good about long term?”

I think it is a given if they substantially improve they will stay. How do we know now, for this discussion, who is going to improve substantially? I am thinking both of us think Tevin has the ability to improve.

Point being, there’s very little to get excited about roster wise with the Bears on offense or defense (for argument’s sake I’m leaving Fields out of it). Outside of Brisker, Jaylon Johnson, and maybe Kyler Gordon, what is there to be excited about?
Herbert, Kmet, Mooney, Claypool, Jenkins are all usable pieces; but I don’t see any of them being multiple time pro-bowlers. If ever.
-
I think Saquon could be a Bear next year. We have bigger needs, but that would be exciting. Not sure he’d be all that much more expensive than resigning Montgomery would be.
-
I looked up the 2023 free agent class a few days back. Wasn’t overly exciting.

I thought we were just talking about the offense.
Agree those guys on O seem fine. Not everyone can be All Pro. I can't tell you who else on the O line has the proper pad levels, footwork, etc to be decent with a little coaching. Obviously they have pass blocking issues. Is that scheme, talent or both? I don't know. They seem to be able to run block decently.
-
Bears should draft this SHG QB. Kid does not mind throwing into tight spaces. Guys don't have to be college open before he throws the ball. Also doesn't mind taking a hit.

We were. But there’s so little to get excited about, I had to include the secondary.
-
Specifically, we were talking about the Oline and receivers. And I don’t think we’re far apart on the lack of quality. I think we likely need a minimum of 6 upgrades at 9 positions. Minimum.

If Fields play next weeks, line will be Packers favored by 3

I’m guessing Fields is out until the week after the bye, but that might be too logical for an NFL team.

If Fields plays I wouldn’t be shocked if they are favored. They’re definitely favored if Rodgers is out.
-
Mooney and EJax likely done for the year. Jackson is rumored to have torn an Achilles. He may be done as a Bear. That seems like an injury it usually takes a full year or more to recover from. All for losing for that draft pick, but not like this.
-
Regarding the draft. Bears are currently #2, but that is misleading as they’ve played more games than several other teams. If the other 3 win teams were to finish with the same record, sounds like the Bears would be drafting 5th.

So wanted to put this into its own thread (like it deserves). But PAMan apparently called The Score. Played all the hits:
1) TERRIBLE passer…
2) Still waiting on Cade McNown to develop.
3) Missed a guy who was open once
4) We don’t play the single-wing anymore
5) Reminds him of Bobby Douglass
6) Seen nothing to indicate he’s getting better.
He did concede he was better than Trevor Siemian though, so mayyybbbeee not PAMan?

This interview is hilarious. This “coach” Jason Brown goes full meatball with Parkins and Spiegel. He’s on “Last Chance U” whatever the hell that is. Apparently fired from a real coaching job for texting to a German player “I’m your new Hitler.” Yikes.

I was listing to Dumpy Dan McNeil's podcast on the Blue Line this AM and thought about the discussions here. He talked about how fans/media are cheering on the tank, but that the Bear need for guys who are going to be around the next 2 years to "make plays" and show they are "getting better" or else the tanking is worthless. He was disappointed in the Lion loss since the best rushing offense could not control the clock. Thoughts?
-
? Justin Fields was a full go for the first time today in practice they just reported…
He could play. I still think there’s a good chance he sits and comes back after the bye. Playing him in a fairly meaningless game would be stupid. But then the people who run NFL teams aren’t always the smartest.
-

The smartest way to play would be from the sidelines.

Only an idiot thinks beating the lions has more value than the #2 pick. What helps the Bears more? A win against the Lions in a lost season, or multiple high draft picks for that #2 pick? Only a numbnut would think beating the Lions.

The point is that there are guys currently playing who are going to be around the next 2 years. If they suck, which they look to suck, how is tanking going to turn this team around?

We can also see good play from individuals and still lose. That would be ideal.

If you can get that #2 pick and trade it to a QB hungry franchise, it would bring in a great haul. Look at what San Fran did to the Bears, and what Miami accomplished trading down. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle aren’t Dolphins if they didn’t do what they did in the draft.

Apparently that news broke about the time I posted the original post. Certainly throws a wrench into things. I still think there’s a decent chance Fields sits. Would be epically dumb to play him. Would be a bad day for Poles/Eberflus IMO. No one questions Fields’ toughness. This is also an injury that CAN get worse.

I got this Tempo. The article states the Bear won the initial trade because the Raider draft picks didn't pan out. Well, blame Jon Gruden for that, not that Pace proved to be any better at drafting, as we see from the current results on the field. That's weak.

They also didn’t factor in that Alvin Kamara was drafted with one of the Bears’ picks.

It’s pretty much a crap shoot honestly. Going back looking at quarterbacks drafted in the 1st round you can find sure-fire picks that completely missed. To look back and say you knew something everybody else didn’t know is complete hogwash. They study these players every day for years sometimes and can still be wrong.

It is largely a crapshoot. That’s why giving away extra picks is usually stupid.

Sounding more and more like Fields will play. Just dumb IMO. Give him another week of rest and play him after the bye.

The whole “gotta learn how to win” argument is so idiotic. You know when most teams “learn how to win?” When they get better players.
A texter made a great point. The ‘97 team “learned how to win” down the stretch and it earned them Curtis Enis when they could have had Peyton Manning.
If you’re 3-9 “learning how to win” is a meatball concept.

You make zero fucking sense. Less as time goes by. There is zero evidence to suggest a win against the Lions to go 4-8 is better than getting a higher draft pick. None whatsoever.
There is zero evidence that the Bear will be any better next year by blowing 14 point 4th quarter leads this year even with the higher draft pick.

Time will tell. There’s also zero evidence going 6-11 would help them.

Ugh, had a whole paragraph response typed and somehow lost it. Anyway, the gist of it was we’ve seen 3-13 teams go 13-3 the next year or within 2 years. The 2017 Bears were 5-11 and went 12-4 in 2018. And those turnarounds had nothing to do win mythical golden wins that occurred the year before.

Already had some players that could make plays and then got the favorable schedule after being crappy.

Imagine valuing a win against the Lions or Packers in a 3-9 season over the right to draft CJ Stroud or Bryce Young, which you could turn into multiple high draft picks.

Again, I refer you to 1997 when they “finished strong,” lost out on Peyton Manning, then went 4-12 the next year.

That’s reasonable enough, and it had absolutely zero to do with any “wins” they accrued in 2017.

Stroud sucks, like all OSU QBs. Mike Tomczak looking make the best of a bad bunch.
Again, you have missed the point about the blowing of a 14 point 4th quarter lead. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

In fact, losing helped them because they got the easier schedule out of it.

Even better. Because the Bears won’t be drafting him. They’ll probably trade him to Atlanta or Carolina for 3 1st round draft picks.

Too bad they won any games at all. Sure has worked out well for the Lion.
-
There is literally zero evidence (and no logic) behind thinking the Bears holding onto a lead this year somehow helps them next year. Are you even listening to yourself? That line of thinking is pretty absurd.

According to your and Parkins' "logic" the Lions should be the Brady Pats by now.
-
There no guarantees, ever. Especially when it comes to the worst run franchise in the NFL (and believe it or not, it’s not the Bears).
What I know pretty well for sure is that a “win” in a lost season (let’s say 4-13) doesn’t bring you success next year. Even more so when your personnel will be undergoing major changes. There is literally no evidence holding on to win against Detroit catapults them to more success next year, so stop with the nonsense.

It’s part of it. I also know the Bears have in no small way struggled because of the McCaskeys. But they are not “doomed” to failure because of the McCaskeys. Yes, neither organization has historically been well run. But the Bears have shown that they’re willing to let the football people run the organization (for the most part). Let’s just hope they hired a good person to run it this time. I’m not going to judge Poles heavily one way or the other until I see further results.

Do I think the McCaskeys are a “net positive” or even neutral? No, of course not. Does that mean I sit around with my mouthful of deep dish pizza yelling “OMG the Bears will never be good because McCaskeys!!” No.

The draft is a bust because one guy (a 3rd rounder) isn’t panning out yet (probably won’t)? Brisker looks excellent. I think Gordon and Jones can be good. Don’t know if Jones is a LT but he’s performed decently for a 5th round rookie at the 3rd toughest position in the NFL. So far this draft looks ok.

Robinson has also flashed as a pass rusher.

So about 60% are smart football fans.
-
Exactly
I think about 3 starters on the OLine might be doable. Maybe 3-4 on the front 7. Most of the rest of the team stays the same. So maybe 10 new players on a 53 man roster. Not sure, but don’t think 10 out of 53 = 90%
-
IMO 3 new starters on offense and 4-5 on defense is reasonably realistic. Let’s say 13-17 new players on the 53 man. So that would mean I not only don’t expect 90% roster turnover, but I expect around 70% of the roster to return. “Turning over 90% of the roster in one year” is not anything I’ve said remotely. I do expect reduced roles for a large number of players.
-
So about 60% are smart football fans.
Now that is good comedy.

With all those guys you have sticking around, who can't make plays now, you make the Bear sound like the Lion.

I could see the Bears being vastly improved with a strong free agent group. GB down, Lions are still the Lions until further notice. Minnesota is ok, not a juggernaut. Throw in a weak schedule, weak NFC, playoffs possible.

Again I would have to reiterate that I’m sure it’s by design. 3rd and long, run the ball?! Yeah, I don’t think the staff is trying to win anything the rest of this year and I’d think that’s obvious doing things like that. They’d be fools to win now.

I’d like to expand the question to PAMan about how many of the OL/receivers he wants as a long-term starter to include the defensive front 7. So let’s call it 16 positions, how many do you see as the long term answer? I’ll hang up and listen to your answer.

So one could ultimately say/ask/argue why isn’t the 2 RB’s, 1 OL, or Mooney (possibly) winning?! Could JFC be the reason?! It appears that’s how he views it. He doesn’t see him as a long-term answer.

This is called football. No one is going to stand there and let someone hit him in the face. He eventually fell forward which usually would be advantageous. This literally happens all the time it’s football.

"Doomed from the start" and tries to drag two guys who have him in their grasp.
If only quarterbacks had the benefit of hindsight. It’s easy to say “doomed from the start” once the play is over. Any quarterback who gives himself up regularly under pressure is going to lose the respect of his teammates and find a spot on the bench.

I’ll confess that in my haste, I thought you were referring to something else. Having said that, the McCaskeys aren’t that much worse than most owners, especially the charter owners. They’re not as successful as the Rooneys, but have been overall much more successful than the Fords and Bidwells. The Hunt family also had a 4 1/2 decade stretch of mediocrity until they hired Andy Reid and he drafted Patrick Mahomes.
At one time the McCaskeys deserved a large share of the blame. But they’ve opened the purse strings and aren’t involved in day to operations anymore. There’s no reason to believe they are pulling any strings that matter. As long as they’ve hired the right GM and coach they will be fine.
Also, the run in the 80s, mid aughts, and 2018 was better than anything KC had experienced before Patrick Mahomes came along. So while most of it was bad, not all of it was bad. And when it was good, it was very very good.

I wouldn’t know because they don’t pass the ball enough to find out. I know he was an excellent passer in college, and is getting better in the pros. I don’t think the pass protection and receivers are anywhere close to average, so I grade Fields on a curve. Hub is also a known curmudgeon. I give Fields an I for incomplete.
-

Surrrree. Lazy and incorrect. But that’s standard for you.
-
My official stance on Fields as a passer (taking the rest of the offense out of the equation) is that he’s improving, but he’s not where I’d like him to be yet.
-
Lol
Can't beat facts.

I is for incomplete. An incomplete pass...
-

I went and listened to it and Hub was overall positive on Fields, thinking he could develop, but thought that people were getting their heads out over their skis. (Which caused me to chuckle.)

So you’re giving the Hunt family credit for what happened 55 years ago.
I guess that means Bears’ current ownership killed it with 9 overall championships and two SB teams including the greatest team ever assembled.
-

Hub literally always says this. Notice the reaction from the hosts when he did. It was classic Hub Arkush.
-
This does sound close to Parkins' take.
Because like you said, can’t beat facts. What about that isn’t true?
-
Hmmm, I wonder why?
Because they don’t want to get him killed? And yes, they currently think they have a better chance to win if they run the ball. Both things can be true at the same time.
Also, running the ball helps that porous defense. They have the worst front 7 in the NFL in case you forgot. Their sack leader is a rookie safety who’s missed a couple games.
-
I think I heard someone on the radio (ESPN 1000 that is), that the Bears haven’t touched an opposing quarterback in like 4 games. Touched…
-
Hub Arkush is a funny name
-
It’s takes an incredibly low level of thinking to sit there and say “Why don’t the Bears throw more?! JUSTIN FIELDS!”

Don't give me this majority of fans and analysts shit as there are tons of meat head sports fans/analysts out there.
I'll add this: Part of a 9 guy text chain. One of the guys is like you, blinded by his devotion to The Twitter and JFC. You guys give the same exact excuses for JFC. I have pushed back, but not nearly as much as I have done here. I have had 2 guys on that chain separately text me saying they do not get the JFC love as he sucks as a passer. One of the guys is a Bear fan; the other is not. I guess they do not want to get into it with the JFC Zealot, as dealing with a JFC Zealot these days is like trying to talk to 9/11 Was An Inside Job or The Election Was Stolen wackos.

Let's not forget 2000. I have liberal friends who were convinced the Diebold machines in Ohio were rigged.
In 2016, there were issues with Russians hacking the DNC and using Twitter to selectively leak information harmful to HRC. Also plenty of completely fake news being spread.
Both Gore and HRC conceded. There was nothing comparable to the January 6 insurrection.

My praise of Justin Fields has actually been fairly restrained. It just seems excessive compared to your hilariously awful “Justin Fields is not an NFL quarterback” takes.

Tempo’s best work is when he is parodying himself.
-
I’ve said many times he’s not there yet as a passer. But he’s literally carrying this offense on his back (yes, primarily due to his running). You guys are at your best when you’re being white guys who belong in the 1970s.
-
Tempo’s best work is when he is parodying himself.
Since they changed the philosophy the Bears have been averaging about 27 points a game (scored 10 the game he didn’t play). Do you guys think that’s due to David Montgomery and Cody Whitehair? I wonder what the reason could be.
And for the fortieth time, he’s got a ways to go before he’s a polished NFL passer.
Lastly, he’s 7th in the NFL in rushing yards. And they didn’t start doing designed runs until like week 6 or 7. That’s pretty incredible.
-
You guys must spend zero time on the internet or watching sports television/radio because Fields’ “breakout” has been a hot topic of discussion for two months. That is unless you listen to dinosaurs like Dan McNeil.
I haven’t anointed Fields a superstar “quarterback” yet. I want to see more: but he’s a hell of a talent, and I’m grading him on a curve because it would be moronic not to.
-
Literally about all I’ve ever said about Fields’ passing is that it’s getting better (which isn’t even arguable), and TheDipshitMan is all “OH MY GOD HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?!”
-
Looking forward to all the 3AM posts when I awaken.

Doubtful. Taking a hot salt bath and going to bed. Hopefully I sleep like a baby. Goodnight, TheDipshitMan.

I would like to ask one thing before I go to bed. What have I said (in my own words) that’s so over the top about Justin Fields. I’ll hang up and listen for both of your answers.

They’ve barely even played him (Claypool). Coaches must not have fair in him…your logic. It’s been widely acknowledged he’s struggled to grasp what’s going on. Barely is an exaggeration but he’s not been on the field nearly as much as expected, and not been a featured part of the offense.
Here he is folks, the DipshitMan “spreading the blame around.”

What I love is your default setting of literally blaming Fields for everything first, and foremost. He is the primary reason they are competitive (and the coaching staff, primarily Eberflus IMO deserves a good amount of credit, too). And no, I don’t think Fields is a complete quarterback yet.
-

He’s had some hits and misses already. But every GM does. He needs to have a strong 2023-2024. Overall I’d give him a B maybe B+.
Would be happy to debate his hits and misses if anyone likes.
-
So you agree the trade is up there with picking a 40 year kick retuner in the 3rd round?
I hated the trade the moment I heard about it. I heard some reasonable arguments to justify it. I softened a bit. What we didn’t know is that pick might end up being what would ordinarily be the first pick in the 2nd round (with Miami not having a pick). I can see why they made the trade and I hope it works out, but I never liked it.

Never once argued differently. But expecting him to elevate this franchise to playoff or near playoff level is A LOT to ask of any quarterback, let lone a 2nd year quarterback in a new system with rookie coaches.
You can fairly criticize Fields for not being a polished or consistent passer. All I’ve ever asked is that you be reasonable. You’re not. In the least.
-
If you’re being objective, there isn’t a quarterback in the NFL who is receiving less help from his entire organization than Justin Fields. It’s not even debatable. But I will be happy to debate if you want.
Expecting him to elevate this franchise to relevancy at this time isn’t at all realistic or fair.

Ok. He has sucked in the 4th quarter when they have had leads or a chance to win a game and when Ds know he has to throw the ball.
Hopefully he works hard over the summer and can be the player you and Dan Orlovsky proclaim he will be.

Also, have you noticed how when the opposing defense KNOWS they have to throw they can’t block it up for shit? You do watch the games, right?

Just checked Vivid Seats and lowest United Club Bears tickets still over $140. If I could find them for maybe $50, I guess, I'd go. Tempo, you in?

Fuck no. If I watch it at all it’ll be from my couch. Wouldn’t go to a -20 whiteout game for free ticket and free beer.

aright pAman sweeten the deal with a free ticket and TWO beers
-
That would be a sweet deal. But with the weather and being Christmas Eve, can’t see making that happen. They’re actually going to fill an NFL stadium 6 hours after a major arctic storm is expected to expire.
-
Here’s what it would take to get me to go this game:
Free limo ride to and from
Free ticket
Heated suite
Free beer
Anything short of that and I am staying home lol

Wonder why we don’t hear this said about Josh Allen…

Allen can actually pass the ball, so he is not running as much as Fields?
-
Can't believe the idiots did not choose Fields for the Pro Bowl. Don't they know The Twitter People, Parkins, and the Talking Heads from The Worldwide Leader of Sports have him as the NFL's Superstar?

These awards are often a year or two behind. Gonna be hard to beat out a good story like Geno Smith when his team is 3-11. How long did it take Roquan to get adequate recognition?
-
Except it is true?
“He’s less likely to get hurt because he can pass?” What kind of fucking “logic” is that? Getting flipped on your head doesn’t know if you can pass or not.

Josh Allen has run the ball about 100x this year. That’s a lot of chances to get hurt. You’re talking out of your, like usual.

Josh Allen has run the ball about 100x this year. That’s a lot of chances to get hurt. You’re talking out of your, like usual.
And he has attempted 500 passes, almost 2x more than Fields. He does only about 40 or so less run attempts than Fields. So he is probably running 3-4 less times a game?
Wonder how many of Allen's runs are designed runs. Do you know?
-
“More pass attempts” doesn’t protect you from a collision on one of your 100 run attempts. And you’re a lawyer?

A run is a run is a run. 100 runs in 14 games is stil A LOT. And he’s more reckless with his body than Justin is.
-

You do not think it may be why Fields' running is far more noticeable? He runs a far higher percentage of plays than Allen does.
And that's why you are a doofus who drives an Uber like Squeaky.
-

What baffles me is the clear disdain you show toward Justin Fields. It seems you are rooting for him to fail. By all accounts he’s a hard working, smart, driven, talented and emerging player. And tougher than fucking nails. I don’t understand the contempt you have for him. You exhibit it in virtually every post.
-
100+ runs is still a lot of runs, no matter how you slice it. Him “being a better passer” changes nothing. He runs a lot, and we’ve all seen the way he runs. And again, Fields doesn’t call the plays.
-
You do not think it may be why Fields' running is far more noticeable? He runs a far higher percentage of plays than Allen does.
No, I think it’s possible it’s a different reason…
-
Your Honor, my client only robbed 12 banks! The other defendant robbed 17 banks! Clearly my client is innocent!
-
Looking at the career numbers, it appears Allen is on his way to breaking his career rushing attempts record by the way. He’s averaging over 100 per year.
Also, I’ve said this myself multiple times. Getsy is calling too many designed runs.
-
By comparison, Brady and Cousins appear to run 2 or so times per game, and I’m sure that includes kneel downs. So Allen is far from “primarily a pocket passer.”
-
100+ runs is still a lot of runs, no matter how you slice it. Him “being a better passer” changes nothing. He runs a lot, and we’ve all seen the way he runs. And again, Fields doesn’t call the plays.
The question was why Fields' running is subject to scrutiny when Allen's isn't. You did not like any answer that was not steeped in racism. Congrats on your typical progressive whining.
-

Of course.

My disdain is for morons like Parkins and you who have your heads up your asses slobbering all over a kid who has a long, long way to go to be an average NFL passer yet demand everyone agree with your stupid hot take that he is an NFL Superstar.
-
I’ve never ever once demanded that you call him a superstar. Please show me once where I’ve asked that of you. All I have ever asked is that you acknowledge he’s improving (and yes, he’s getting better as a passer) and that the level of “help” he gets should be embarrassing to the Chicago Bears. Literally no quarterback in the NFL has been set up for failure to the level that Justin Fields has. Yet he’s rising above it (but where are the wins?! Amirite?!).
-
If you think I’ve been demanding you call him a superstar, you literally can’t read and comprehend to an educated level.
-
You out here demanding that a 2nd year quarterback lead a roster totally bereft of adequate NFL talent to “wins” is beyond absurd. Demanding that he put up Pro-Bowl caliber passing stats is also pretty absurd. He was one of 5 1st round QBs last year, and was outperforming all of them until about 3 weeks ago. Lawrence finally living up to his billing, but he’s in a better situation as well.

I cannot help it if you can't comprehend the difference between Fields running appx. 36% of the time versus Allen running appx. 17% of the time and think the difference in attention is due to race.

I am demanding that he look like he knows how to be an NFL QB and not a Wingback. I understand that the team sucks. Problem is that he completely sucked at being a QB when running an NFL offense.

And yet you say this knowing the line can’t pass block and the receivers are mostly practice squad caliber. That’s not to say he wasn’t bad on his own at times. Yet qualified experts say they see the growth in his game yet you are smarter than they are.
-

You “understand that the team sucks,” yet throw him under the bus (not the rest of the team or the coaches) when they lose. You DEMAND that he overcome the worst situation for a starting QB in the NFL.
-

Again, both a run a lot. I’d argue Allen runs more recklessly. Both are running quarterbacks. And for the 40th time, Fields doesn’t call the plays.
-

Yes, because there are things like footwork, reading defenses, throwing the fucking ball in the flat, pocket presence keeping your eyes downfield when they actually have time, that an average NFL QB should be able to do even if they or the other players don't execute plays properly.
Qualified experts? Like Trent Dilfer? Parkins?
Hopefully the kid gets some good coaching over the summer. He certainly did not have it at OSU. Hopefully he works his ass off this summer. If he doesn't, he'll be one of many 1st round QB draft picks that could not produce despite the opinions of qualified experts.
-
Anybody who watches the Bills and says “Oh yeah, Allen, he’s pretty much a straight pocket passer” is fucking kidding themselves. And for the 41st time. Fields doesn’t call the plays.
-
You “understand that the team sucks,” yet throw him under the bus (not the rest of the team or the coaches) when they lose. You DEMAND that he overcome the worst situation for a starting QB in the NFL.
Yeah, demanding that he not fling the ball up for grabs in the 4th quarter against the Lion and get intercepted was a stretch on my part.
It is amazing you can make it through the day.

You didn't even know Biden executed an order student loan relief when bitching that he had not done anything. Maybe you should pay attention to the qualified experts on politics.

This is akin to missing a couple too many free-throws in the first game of the year and saying “this will come back to haunt them.”
And you ignore the electrifying play he made like two plays later to give them the lead back. Which the defense relinquished. You are pathetic. Just admit that you’re rooting for him to fail.

No it isn't. He can't make really dumb plays like that.
And you saying be does not call the plays is completely dumb. There is a reason they are calling runs. Sorry you have problems with that reality.
Hopefully he gets better because he will be the starter for 2 to 3 more years.

Of course he went for the minimum. It’s what minimum Joe does.

Racism doesn’t have to be purposeful, blatant, or malicious. It can be underlying and inherent. Watch that Allen video again. He’s out there throwing his body around like he’s Troy Polamalu.

Right now you sound just as sensitive as “war on Christmas” guy.
-
Racism doesn’t have to be purposeful, blatant, or malicious. It can be underlying and inherent. Watch that Allen video again. He’s out there throwing his body around like he’s Troy Polamalu.
And again, the question was why is Fields' running being scrutined and Allen's isn't. Fields runs a far greater percentage of his plays than Allen does could be the reason instead of racism. But you really want racism to be the only reason.

Oh Tempo, just stfu already. This is so fucking stupid.

And you have the nerve to call me and others out regarding “logic” 🥴

The guy who says Jimmy G should have gone down because he was heavily pressured says Josh Allen is fine because he only runs 8-10 times a game. You can’t make up this kind of random logic.

Racism!

Uh, that is not what I said, but we all know what a dimwit you are at this point.
Again, and I will type slowly so you can try and comprehend what is being typed.
JFC runs the ball over 40 percent of his plays when he has the ball in his hands
Allen runs the ball over 16 percent of his plays when the ball is in his hands.
When you see Fields with the ball in his hand, over 40 percent of the time he is running the ball or 2 of every 5 plays or 20 out of every 50.
When you see Allen with the ball in his hands, he is only running it over 16 percent of the time or 8 to 9 out of every 50 plays.
Allen has also attempted close to 2x more passes than Fields.
That people scrutinize Fields' running and not Allens' MAY BE attributable to their ratio of runs to pass plays. When Fields is with the ball he is running the ball more than twice as much as Allen is, and the FACT that Allen can actually pass the ball and Fields cannot (ergo Fields running the ball 2x out of every 5 plays where the ball is in his hands). There is more of Allen's game to discuss, though we spend an inordinate amount of time here discussing how Fields cannot pass.
So MAYBE the color of their skin is NOT the cause of the focus on Fields' running game but the fact that he runs the ball 40% when he has the ball.
I am guessing I have wasted my time typing this slowly because guys who get their hot takes from such qualified experts as Parkins are dumb dumbs.
-
Racism!
I wouldn’t expect you to understand the nuance of aversive racism. Im sure you’re perfectly content in your white man bubble. Which is probably located in a cul de sac.

Lol both are high volume RUNNING quarterbacks. I get it, Fields runs at a higher percentage. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s “MORE likely” to get hurt. And it damn sure doesn’t mean Allen is a lot less likely to get to hurt. Your “logic” is just so random it’s unbelievably hilarious.
The same guy who said Garropalo hurt himself by not just going down says Josh Allen is adequately protecting himself by “only” running 8-10x a game. You can’t make this kind of stupidity up. And for the 42nd time, you’re mad at the wrong guy. Justin Fields doesn’t call the plays.
-
I think it’s funny you zero in on Parkins (once again, because of a single tweet of his I shared). Out of Bernstein, Holmes, Spiegel, and Parkins (basically mid day and afternoon hosts) he’s probably my least favorite of the four. If one of them were to leave The Score, I’d choose him. But then you are like the dog that barks “squirrel!”
-
I laugh at some of Parkins’ takes all the time. Like his love for Matt Nagy that lived for 2 years too long. I do think he’s a good conversation starter though.

The hilarity is that by “only running 109x in 14 games” Josh Allen is “much better protecting himself than Justin Fields.”
-
And for the 43rd time, you’re mad at the wrong guy.
-
And in fact, Fields has even said he “doesn’t want to be the quarterback that runs for 1,000 yards every year.”
-
I'm getting the impression that Getsy is giving JFC only 1 play to go with on each down.
Unless, of course, he's given an option of either running left or right on some of the too many designed running plays.
-
The hilarity is that by “only running 109x in 14 games” Josh Allen is “much better protecting himself than Justin Fields.”

Then he better work hard to be an NFL QB over the summer.

I'm mad that they picked a guy whom they have not coached up to be an average NFL passer. He is who he is. Unless he failed to work hard and accept coaching, it is not his fault he is not yet an average NFL passer.
-
And again, the answer to the actual issue raised flies right over your head. So, to answer the other question, yes, it appears you are on the spectrum.
I get it. Fields runs at a higher rate and if you subscribe to the theory that makes you exponentially more likely to get hurt (and there’s no real proof it does) you can run with that (pun intended?). Allen is on pace to run about 130-140x this year. That’s substantial risk if you subscribe to your theory. Allen is hardly out there “protecting himself.”
It’s hilarious you blame the mostly immobile Jimmy G for trying to escape the run, yet adopt the theory Allen isn’t a running quarterback because he “only runs 16% of the time.”
-
And for the 12th time, I agree Fields runs too much, but for the 44th time, he doesn’t call the plays.

Both run a lot. One runs even more often. He also doesn't call his own plays.

And you also never acknowledge the fact you have a defensive-minded head coach who surely understands that running the ball (something the Bears do quite well, best in the league in fact), helps an overmatched defense. You are a football moron.

And you also never acknowledge the fact you have a defensive-minded head coach who surely understands that running the ball (something the Bears do quite well, best in the league in fact), helps an overmatched defense. You are a football moron.
Scoring more points when you are behind in the 4th quarter helps too.

Your primary beef seems to be with the HC and OC, you know the ones who call the game. We all know this line can’t pass block when the defense knows they are throwing. Yet you only hold Fields accountable. You are a football moron.

Most improtant position on the field and when he gets time to throw he hasn't been very good. Sorry.
-
Justin Fields is the best player on the Bears, and it’s not particularly close now that Roquan is gone. Jaylon Johnson is the only other Bear in the discussion. So there’s that.

Who is the QB? Joe Burrow? He has a bad line and can still throw when he has time.

4th quarter 4th down drops notwithstanding. Dropped because “Fields can’t pass.” Also, “time” isn’t something he has had a lot of on a regular basis. Yes, he’s not been perfect when he’s had to be. Let’s cut him. Bring back Mitch.

He'd probably be close to the same in the Wingback position except not as fast runner. Good call!

Boomer Esiason said “Justin Fields is a superstar. He needs two tackles, two wide receivers and as much help aS you can possibly give him.”

Just heard this morning Jaylon Johnson to the IR. That leaves rookie safety Jaquan Brisker as the Bears’ best defensive player.

Broncos/Rams root for the tie! Would all but ensure neither pass the Bears in the draft.

I was told there was some sort of buyout that has to be negotiated.
Russell Wilson is really, really bad this season. Jerry Juedy is not a consistent threat. The RB situation was strange until Marlon Mack finally showed up. Of course, when you are losing 31-3, the running game isn't a lot of help.

“Absolutely not,” Eberflus said Monday when asked whether the two injuries Fields sustained in the loss to the Bills would put his availability in question. “He’s good to go. He’s healthy, and he’s ready to go for this week.”
The quarterback also said postgame that he couldn’t bear full weight on his injured foot but expected to play out the string. Eberflus sees value in getting more reps for the second-year star.
Lol not sure I agree with Flus here. Fields re-injures his left shoulder and had his foot stepped on. I get that he needs more reps, but I don’t really agree with putting him out there hurt at 3-12. Two more starts isn’t likely to be the difference maker in getting him ready for next year.

One has been pretty good at his job (and does not help you tank) and the other helps you tank?
Eh, in all seriousness, yes it seems odd. If they wanted Fields to get reps, then he should be throwing more with instructions to get rid of the ball immediately if the rush is too much.

Your yearning to turn Fields into Joe Montana or Tom Brady is misguided (shocking). Fields will likely never be a “get rid of it quick” guy, and he shouldn’t (at this point or his career at least) because his ability to move around and make big plays is what makes him potentially special as a passer. Despite your yearning, Fields will never be Chad Pennington.

But if he is still going to play despite a) being unable to move due to the foot and b) not wanting him running due to the shoulder, then don't you have to tell him to dump the ball at the slightest hint of pressure (and who cares about intentional grounding at this point)?
I hope he is not Chad Pennington.

I’m all for him working on timing routes etc. but you talk like you want him to play quarterback like Chad Pennington. I remember how relieved you were when Siemian was the starter (and they put up 10 points, largely on a pass that should have been picked off). We finally “had a real quarterback who’ll get the ball out quick.”
-

After Young and Stroud (puke), aren't there still QBs left expected to go in rounds 1-2 if not 1-4?

Siemian played hurt and was fine until the shot wore off.

He’s already special as a runner. Buying time and making big plays downfield makes him *potentially* special as a passer. Reading comprehension matters.

Yes I think he’s bought himself the next two years. He’s just got a long ways to go as a passer in my opinion. I too hope he works hard this off-season to be better in that aspect of his game. Yes he needs more weapons but I have to think the staff isn’t calling a lot of those passing plays for a reason and knows something we don’t. To say you know more than the staff about his ability/lack of ability to throw is quite arrogant. I do hope he takes a step forward next year. I think he will too, but it’s not there yet.

He should bring a haul as the experts say he is a superstar in waiting and the Bear need at least 15-16 new starters. Seems to be a shortage of FA O linemen and WR, right?

Where the hell did I ever say that? All I ever said is that Justin Fields isn’t the only reason they don’t throw they ball a lot. There are multiple reasons for that, and Justin Fields is potentially one of them. That’s all I’ve ever said. What’s moronic is to go all PAMan and only point the finger at Fields.
-
For the 50th time, Justin Fields isn’t where we want him to be as a passer. That doesn’t mean a bad O-line, terrible receivers, and a conservative/defensive-minded head coach don’t also factor into the equation.

They aren’t trading him. Especially to draft the 4th or 5th best quarterback prospect in the draft. Absolute best case scenario they end up with the 3rd best prospect. You hypothetical would be more fun if it were even semi-realistic.

I can’t answer that question because it ain’t happening. Probably would be worth 2 1s, what was traded to get him. You are just trolling. You’re not going to get full value on Fields because he hasn’t produced enough as a passer yet. That doesn’t mean his future doesn’t appear bright. Many think it is (very bright).

Yeah, he is an exciting runner who can pass a little. Saw him throw some balls with nice touch today. I am not even sure he is coming out.
What about the KY QB. I saw he was highly thought off and a possible 1st rounder.
-
My bad. I misread Ky as KU.
He’s rated the 3rd best QB prospect, likely to go too 5-6 or so. Perhaps as high as 2 or 3. So you’re going to have a very limited trading pool if you want to grab him.

Most I’ve seen have Levis going to Indy at #5.
Let’s assume the Bears were to trade their pick. My guess would be 1) Young 2) Stroud 3) Anderson 4) Carter 5) Levis
But if everyone knows Indy is drafting Levis, he could jump to 2 or 3 if some other GM falls in love with him. Say, Carolina.

Unless someone in the top 4 really falls in love with Stroud or Levis, I don’t think you’re finding a trading partner. That would still net you one of those two.

The Colts had better hopehopehope the QB they pick works out. That franchise is rapidly becoming a joke.
Also, if I had a pick ahead of Indy, I would be looking to put the screws to them because you know they want to trade up. The draft is about two things: (1) getting good players and (2) screwing over stupid teams and GMs. The Bears have done poorly at both of these things, although they manage to be a willing participant in the "getting screwed" part of #2.
Furthermore, remember when the Bears made good draft picks? You have to think back pretty far at this point. I guess Eddie Jackson was a good pick.

Ryan Pace was pretty good with 4th rounders and later, and with defense. Unfortunately, that’s not a good way to build franchises. You need more 1st and 2nd day hits.

PAMan has convinced me to move on from Fields and to rebuild around a quarterback who went 6-12 in college. Because win/loss record is the most important quarterback stat.

In the COVID season, all of the teams agreed that if an unequal number of conference games had been played, then winning percentage would decide the title. Michigan had the highest winning percentage.
You can disagree with the decision or how Michigan got to that point, but nobody got ripped off. Considering the previous season ended abruptly with no tournament, I wasn't giving it too much thought.

Hey guys, Justin Fields destroyed Clemson in the playoffs, but Jalon Daniels threw for 35% of his season total in yards in the Liberty Bowl. Dump Fields, draft Daniels (with the 2nd pick before someone else nabs him!).

Didn't Daniels miss a chunk of the season injured?

They should draft someone to provide some competition at camp unless they move Fields for more draft picks.

I have no problem adding “competition.” But it’s extremely unlikely he’ll be traded.

No, trade him and the 2d for a ton of draft picks. You can't waive him.due to salary cap issues. Need too many players.

Fer sure.

What do you think they would get for Fields?
Well, you say many believe he is a superstar in the making, so close to, but not quite, the Walker trade.
The Cowboy got 4 players and
*Minnesota's 1st round pick in 1990
*Minnesota's 2nd round pick in 1990
*Minnesota's 6th round pick in 1990
*Minnesota's 1st round pick in 1991 (conditional on cutting one of the 4 players they got)
*Minnesota's 2nd round pick in 1991 (conditional on cutting another of the players they got)
*Minnesota's 1st round pick in 1992 (conditional on cutting yet another player they got in the trade)
*Minnesota's 2nd round pick in 1992 (condition met by trading away Nelson)
*Minnesota's 3rd round pick in 1992 (conditional on cutting Stewart)
Given what you say the experts think, I guess I'll go with the 8 draft picks in exchange for Fields and the 2d pick. Sound good?

As far as the 2nd pick, the 49ers gave the Dolphins 3 1sts for the 3rd, so hopefully something close to that.

Would you rather have Fields or Burrow?

Burrow, of course. He’s a completely known commodity. But Fields’ potential is through the roof, and he’s clearly earned a couple more years on this team. And I like his toughness and leadership qualities.

I'm not sure he has earned it, but we all know it is his job for the next 2 to 3 years.
Hopefully he and the cast around him improves.

Good news is they threw it. Bad news, well, you saw it.
I guess being critical of Fields’ passing week 2 wasn’t early enough for PAMan. “Only lately.”

He’s earned it more than anyone else has. At any position on the team. Save Jaylon Johnson.

Do you think if Andy Dalton (shitty QB now), for example, was on the team and the starting QB that his passing numbers would be this bad?! I mean his supporting cast would be the same, but I can almost guarantee his # would be much better with same players. It’s because he can pass the ball and get it to receivers.
-
Fields is obviously far from a finished product, but the Bears have the worst receiving corps in the NFL and it’s probably not close. No separation.
September 18th. Not early enough for PAMan. “Only lately.”

Yes, and the offense wouldn’t be nearly as explosive. But he could probably dink and dunk his way to 200 yards most games.

The passing numbers would not be this bad. The offensive scheme would be different obviously and you would see play action and slants. I'm thinking the WRs would not be thought of as poorly as they are now.
-
Claypool did just fine with an actual QB that could pass the ball to him. It’s not like he can’t play at a high level either but he requires a QB to get him the ball. Fields gets it from the center every snap and has much more opportunities to make plays than a WR too.
-
The passing numbers would be a little better. The offense would be worse and less explosive (i.e. score less points), so there is that. But at least he’d be 18 for 30 with 202 yards 1 TD 1 INT a fumble and 13 points scored.

Wouldn’t necessarily say I’ve given up on him, but I’m not expecting him to return value. He’s clearly got maturity issues. He’s scored 3 touchdowns in his last 24 games. Talented, but a knucklehead it seems.
Comparing a 3rd year WR to a 2nd year QB in a new system with no quality blockers is a hilarious comp. The coaches don’t even have enough confidence to put Claypool on the Field over last WR on the roster types. That should tell you something.

It also tells you something when Eberlose tells reporters that Fields was in at the end of the game because they think he needs the "live experience..."

“Good” might be stretching it. Talented? Yes. They traded him because suckers exist.

I see both sides of this argument. I also think it’s unlikely 2-3 possessions is going to be the difference in Justin Fields’ development for next year. An ACL tear or off season shoulder surgery might be.

True. I also doubt he would have been better off standing next to Getsy those last few plays.
-
Probably because Pitt knew they could be getting the 30 something pick in the draft for him?
GMs get desperate and do dumb things sometimes. All of them do. No one’s track record is spotless. Hopefully it either works out nicely or this is Poles’ big screw up (likely with Velus Jones). Which begs the question: can Poles evaluate the receiver position?
-

And the coaches apparently don’t have enough confidence in Fields to throw the ball either.

Definitely less risk of him getting hurt. Ironic though, since you’re the guy who thought standing next to Getsy all year would be the most beneficial thing to his development.

Minus starting every snap (even when hurt) and 20-28 throws a game. Chase played 4 snaps in the first half (not sure how many in 2nd). Velus and Wesco both played 5 and 4 snaps. You really barking up this tree? Strange tactical approach.

Bro. One guy is being hailed by many as the league's next superstar and one can’t get on the field above Dante Pettis and N’Keal Harry. Your “perspective” sucks.

I agree with this. Getting rid of those and getting as high a draft pick as possible has always been the plan this year. You give your franchise a chance to build from the ground up and reset the window, per se. It’s all about building value and having more valuable pieces to work with in the draft picks. Poles might or might not get the job done with those picks, but he definitely knows what it takes being in KC. It gives him more opportunities and chances to be correct.

I agree with this. Getting rid of those and getting as high a draft pick as possible has always been the plan this year. You give your franchise a chance to build from the ground up and reset the window, per se. Poles might or might not get the job done, but he definitely knows what it takes being in KC.
Hate to say its but so did Nagy, as he was in KC.....
-
I didn't bring up Tariq Cohen and a throw made during practice. You did. Guy needs more live experience. Coach said so.
I did that to dispel your stupid narrative that the only people hyping Justin Fields are ESPN and The Score. You are fucking stupid.

Understand. Let’s just hope Poles learned more and he was/is at a higher building level than what Nagy was. Roster was all Pace’s doing here, not Nagy. And just because Nagy failed has no bearing on Poles success/failure.
-
And I never once said he doesn’t need more reps.

Bingo.

Did Tariq Cohen agree that The Wingback needed more live experience against the 32d ranked D's second team? The Bear HC sure thought so.

Ryan Pace ran personnel, champ. And he was constantly giving away draft assets on bad picks, and giving way too much money to FAs who weren’t worth it.

16th game of the season. Should be past The Wingback needing live experience in mop up time, but here we are. Some superstar in the making. Hope he gets more live experience in the offseason. Maybe he should play in the USFL this season.
-
I totally get that he needs more live reps. And I love the fact that Fields himself said he wants to be out there even when things aren’t going well. But as the longest ever tenured Chicago Bear said yesterday, “sometimes you’ve got to save a player from himself.” I totally get that Fields needs the work. I also get the fact we’d like him to go into the off-season not needing surgery on something.

I bet if you were to poll the 32 GMs on what position Justin Fields plays, I bet it’d be unanimous that they say “quarterback.”

And yes, right now his legs are much more advanced than his arm and passing. Never once argued differently. Not once. Ever.

Because they have to have players to fill the roster, and he’s a good blocker who can occasionally catch a ball.

We went through this dipshit. Do you realistically think Poles can turnover 35-40 players in one year? Unfortunately they have a lot of other positions to worry about as well.
If they thought he was actually “good” he would have gotten a multi-year deal. They gave him 1.25 million. Braxton Berrios is the Jet’s 4th or 5th receiver and makes 6 million. They gave St. Brown the (1 year deal) because SOMEONE has to play backup WR.

-
JFC, you are so dense.
-
To answer your question, no. I don’t think they could “do better” than to get a semi-competent veteran WR who at least does some things well (like block, make an occasional play, and I think he also plays special teams) for 500k over league minimum on a one year deal.
-
JFC, you are so dense.
All we have heard is how the WRs and the O line stinks. All we hear is that they drop all the catchable balls throw to them. Why pay this scrub $1.2m? They should be able to find guys playing in Lincoln Park with better hands and route running skills than these guys given how bad they have been alleged to be.

Well it’s literally not realistic to replace every single one of them in one year. I can’t believe we’re having this “discussion.” On a team that literally needs 40 new players, getting a veteran who at least does some things reasonably well for barely above league minimum on a one year deal makes sense. I don’t think Poles is expecting to play 50 snaps a game next year. Someone has to be the 4th or 5th receiver on the roster.

They already have him. According to many, as you tell us, they all suck, they cannot get separation, they cannot catch, and they are impeding Fields' development. Why not grab someone cheaper, use the extra cash for linemen, and find out if the cheaper guy can block AND get open?
-
Yea, I’m sure there are a ton of guys better who can be had on a one year deal for the league minimum. You are seriously stupid as fuck, and argue with the logic of a 7th grader. This team literally needs to replace 40 guys and you’re bitching about a near league minimum one year deal on a guy who figures to be probably around the 5th WR.

You are the guy who whines and moans how bad the WRs are and how they are impeding The Wingback. If these guys suck as much as you claim, they should be gone even for guys they pull off the street. Yet, Poles wants to keep this guy. Maybe Poles is telling you that the trash receivers are not as much to blame for things as you think?
-
You are so incredibly fucking dumb.
What fucking player is he going to bring in that’s better for 1 million dollars? He’s literally going to be the WR4 at best (assuming health). Poles literally has 15 STARTING positions he needs to fill ASAP.
St. Brown knows the system. Maybe Getsy loves him (as he also had in in GB)? Coaches get attached to mediocre players all the time. This roster needs to replace 15 starters and you are bitching about a barely above league minimum to an end of roster WR. Just because they resigned him to a 1 year barely above minimum one year deal doesn’t mean they thinks he’s “good.” He’s mediocre. Some other JAG you bring in for 900k isn’t going to be better. He’s literally an end of the roster player. What are you not getting though that pea brain of yours? AGAIN, Poles has a TON of STARTING positions to fill….
-
Your backpedaling on the quality of ESB before the season ends is entertaining.....HILARIOUS.

You are ridiculous. This is easily the dumbest argument I’ve ever engaged in. You’re not going to find someone “better” than EQ St. Brown for a million bucks on a one year deal. Poles has much bigger fish to fry than trying to dig for gold on a WR5. St. Brown knows the system. Has at times shown some chemistry with Fields. That doesn’t mean he’s “good” or that the coaches even think he’s “good.” He’s definitely not a difference maker, and you’re not getting one for 900k. He’s a JAG. Every team has JAGs. Jake Kumerow has played snaps for the Bills this year. The Bills must think he’s awesome!
-
If they literally didn’t need 38 more players, maybe they could try someone else. They’ve clearly decided to save some money for other areas and keep the guy they know and feel is at least worthy of a roster spot. Again. Lots of mediocre players have roster spots. Stop being a moron.

If WR5 was in the top 20 Bear needs, I’d maybe be bothered by it. He’s being paid to be a JAG and every team has them.

You were never this stupid. Did you get hit in the head recently? I don’t expect the WR5 to be a difference maker on the team. He’s not good. That doesn’t mean he can’t have a spot toward the end of the roster. The Bears have much bigger needs.

Yes. He’s mediocre meaning “not of good quality.” Does it make sense to you that “mediocre” receivers shouldn’t be playing 50+ snaps?

Love the Clown34 backpeddling.

And again, receiving isn’t the only thing a receiver does. I’ve heard a couple of Bears beat reporters mention that they love his blocking. Sometimes receivers are called on to do that.

You love to exaggerate. He’s not a difference making player. He’s just good enough (barely) to be on an active roster. Jake Kumerow plays for the Bills and Smith-Marsette plays for the Chiefs. They are not “good.”

Now if Poles re-signed him with the intent of him playing 45-50 snaps a game, I would have a problem with that. I’m comfortable in assuming that’s not what he has in mind.

So we have a WR who blocks and a QB who runs. Seems the Bears have their position requirements mixed up. We need a QB to can throw and a WR to catch.
In all honesty though I’m ok with the signing. Cheap and fills a roster spot. We’ll get and have one or two more WR’s this off-season ahead of him I’m sure.
-

And chances are anyone else you sign on a one million dollar/one year deal won’t be a particularly good receiver either. Certainly not a difference maker. Your logic is so piss poor I can’t believe I’m having this conversation.
Again, what do you not understand about needing 14 STARTERS and end of the roster WRs?

Lastly, how many end of the roster WRs are out there making a big difference for their team? Pretty sure that number is about 0. As JudgeJudy said, they are likely to add at least one or two more WRs. My guess would be one via trade/FA and one via draft.

Also, just because he was re-signed doesn’t mean he won’t be cut after training camp. It’s completely within the range of outcomes for a guy on a 1.25 million dollar deal.

I’d imagine EQs contract looks very similar. And it’s fine. You know why? He’s not expected to be a major difference maker for the Bears, particularly in the passing game. It would be dumb to just “cut everyone” because they aren’t particularly good. Every team has JAGs, as I said Ihmir Smith-Marsette is now a Chief.
Again, the Bears have a plethora of needs at STARTING positions. To be spiking the ball on a (largely blocking) WR (who also plays special teams) offered a near minimum contract on a one year deal (no guarantee he even makes the team) is just well, odd…

On 123 more attempts. He also has 3 less touchdown passes than Fields. He also has better players around him and a legitimate #1 WR.
I’d be curious to see their advanced metrics. I’d bet it’s not close. But hey, we only measure the success of a quarterback by raw passing yards around here!
-
So, in other words. 123 more attempts is almost 5 games worth of passing attempts for Fields. And AGAIN, he doesn’t call the plays. “But the only reason they don’t throw the ball is Justin Fields can’t pass!”
-
The Texans’ OLine has given up 20 less sacks on 189 more passes. “But the only reason Fields gets sacked is he holds the ball too long!”

Yep. No clue how a modern NFL franchise is run. I’ll bet you thought Ryan Pace should have gotten a 10 year extension (and then he could continue to mortgage the future so he could cling to relevancy).
-
Don’t know about you guys, but I miss the days of trading away assets to move up for a bad player.
-
Yeah if you’re going 8-8 every year and stuck in mediocrity, it’s much better to tank and take a shot at acquiring assets and trying to build it back up instead of staying in purgatory. I can’t really see how this can be up for debate or argument.

Once Mack and Quinn were traded, I’ll bet the best most highly paid players were Roquan and the left guard.
Poles inherited: little draft capital, bad contracts, dead money, and no talent outside of Roquan, Jaylon, and Fields. And some people expected things to go well? It was a miracle they were competitive in the majority of their games.

”Cant?” I said he “makes an occasional play.” You are getting deranged over this. You’re seriously losing your mind over a one year one million dollar contract over an end of the roster type player. Who could possibly not even make the team next year. Lol
Again, and it’s based on the fact that you can’t get it through you pea brain that they need at least a dozen new STARTERS ASAP.
Is St. Brown “good?” No. Is he fine as an end of the roster guy? Sure. Just as is Michael Bandy, Britain Covey, Danny Gray, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Jake Kumerow, Trenton Irwin.
C.L.O.W.N.

In PAMan’s world of absolutism based on little to no evidence, he extrapolates that I said “CAN’T get open, can’t get separation, can’t catch” based on the factual evidence that he dropped a perfect pass on 4th down late in a game. This is “PAMan logic.”
EQ St. Brown is a mediocre end of the roster player (but someone “worthy” of a roster spot). Apparently PAMan thinks that means he’s up to handling 50 snaps a game. I’ve never made that case. And it’s stupid “PAMan logic” to think just because he’s not a particularly “good” wideout you can go find a better one for the league minimum on a one year deal.

Get it through your head that they need a shit ton of starters, and stop worrying about a guy who will probably barely make the team as a backup WR on a very cheap one year deal.
This isn’t difficult logic.

Let’s not acknowledge the fact that Fields was forced into action after being inadequately prepared as a starter in a massively failing regime that was swiftly kicked to the curb after drafting him. Then in year 2 was given nothing to work with in the only tank I can remember comparable to the Dolphins of a few years ago.

“Completely sucks” as a front end receiver. He’s “ok enough” as a bottom two guy, which his contract implies he will be. You seriously are dumber than shit when it comes to football.
And you keep neglecting to understand they have a plethora of needs at at least a dozen STARTING positions. Only a fool thinks you’re getting a “good player” for one million on a one year deal. But then you expected this team to “win games,” so clearly you’re not very bright.

I think I’ve said this before, but you remind me of “Rosie” from point break. A simpleton incapable of balancing different ideas and concepts. “You just set him in motion and he goes.”
I have thoroughly clowned you the past 7 pages and you think you’re winning this conversation by laps. Is St. Brown “good?” No. He should never be logging 45-55 snaps per game. But here we are. Is he as good as Michael Bandy, Danny Gray, Britain Covey, Jake Kumerow, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Trenton Irwin?” All fringe talents on Super Bowl contending teams? Yes. And he’s cheap as fuck.
It’s amazing how Allen, Tua, and Hurts all became better passers when they were given elite receivers. Before that, they had mostly JAGs.

So you think a JAG is “something to work with?” I’ve literally been saying all year these are back end of the roster and practice squad caliber players. That’s pretty much the definition of a “JAG.” So you think a 2nd year quarterback is supposed to go out there and elevate an entire receiving corps of JAGs and all the while wirh horrific protection. You are a totally reasonable guy.
A guy who’s memory is so short he can’t remember when Tua, Hurts, and Josh Allen were criticized for not being good passers. Which was like last year for two of them, and the year before for one of them.
-
Done talking about this with TheDOLTMan. Not wasting my time on his idiocy any longer.
Every team has JAGs, doesn’t mean the Bills want 3 Jake Kumerows playing 40+ snaps every game for a whole year.
-
If the guy is as awful as you allege he is ("nothing to work with"), which is doubtful because you are a clown, you get rid of him and take a chance on someone else. What a complete clown.
He’s not good enough to play 45-50 snaps a game. Especially with 2-3 other JAGs also doing the same.
Zero fucking sense.
-
Tempo on Block. I am not going to bother conversing with someone who makes one argument, then does a 180 and acts like he never made the original argument.
-
Lol
-
Only PAMan would think a bunch of WR 5s and 6s are “something to work with.”
Low thinker
-
I DEMAND the Bears go out and find a difference making WR for a million bucks a year. Also while filling a ton of STARTING positions with good players. Because…I am PerfectlyReasonableMan.
-
I am sure that Tempo is saying that ESB should be on the team despite all season saying that he was "nothing to work with." Or, that I said something that I never said. One or the other.
-
I expect them to add probably two WRs. One though FA/trade and probably one though draft. Expecting wholesale changes at 35-40 positions just isn’t realistic. Apparently PAMan thinks changing over an entire roster in one year is realistic. Again, there’s no guarantee St. Brown even makes the team. If Velus Jones Jr were to discover himself in any way, EQ could be the odd man out.
-
I am sure that Tempo is saying that ESB should be on the team despite all season saying that he was "nothing to work with." Or, that I said something that I never said. One or the other.
All season I called them back end of the roster players. And that’s what he was signed to be. You think the Bengals want 3 Trenton Irwins logging major snaps all year?
-
Let me guess what Tempo's posts are: "You dimwit! Despite me thinking ESB (as well as the other Bear WRs) is unable to actually play WR, as none of them can get separation or catch the ball, he is only going to be a 5 - 6 if he makes the team! There is no need to take a chance on a 5 - 6 at the minimum who may actually be able to get open and catch footballs unlike all the other WRs the Bears currently have! How dumb are you?"
-
PAMan seems to think I’m in love with the move. It’s fine, I don’t care, Because unless Poles does nothing to address the WR position, this move isn’t that relevant. As a 5 or 6, he’s “ok enough” for one year. Especially considering they need additions at most starting positions. It’s hilarious that he thinks this move means they think he’s a difference making player.
-
But yeah, let’s bring in another JAG off the street who doesn’t know the system and expect him to catch 60 passes and 8 touchdowns.

From the same article. Mooney and Claypool (at least with Pittsburgh) were serviceable. They are not Alphas. Allen was all of a sudden good when he got Diggs. Tua when he got Hill. Hurts when he got Brown. None of our guys are in their class. Claypool has struggled just to get on the field in Chicago. That’s not on Justin Fields. The coaches obviously feel he’s coming up short somewhere.

-
Also, Mooney has been out for a month. I’ve conceded numerous times Justin has to get better as a passer. It’s been a collective failure. Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts are going to struggle if their best receiver is EQ St. Brown.

-
I have conceded numerous times that Fields needs to improve as a passer. Numerous times.
-
And I think for the most part he did over the season. He wasn’t missing as many “layups” as he was the first month.
-
But again, still much improvement to make. People forget already that Hurts and Tua weren’t anything near accomplished passers as recently as last year. Allen struggled with consistency until year 3.
-
Hurts and Tua both went into this season on the proverbial “hot seat” as starters. How quickly that was forgotten.
-
Judge Judy, doing yeoman's work here. But I do not see in those articles/The Tweets about how good of blockers those "nothing to work with" (direct quote) top 50 WRs and TE are.
I love the eye test line from The Score suck ups. Like The Wingback has passed the eye test so far as a passer when he has had those 3 guys and actually has had time to pass. I mean, derrrrrrr, The Wingback has "nothing to work with" (typed with baked brie and quiche dripping from the mouth)! And Fields wonders why Claypool is pissed on the sidelines. Fields is going to cost him $$$ unless he gets his act together.
-
I’m pretty sure Claypool was pissed because he only played 4 snaps in the first half. I’m sure that was Fields’ fault.
-
The guy who mentioned the eye test has nothing to do with The Score. As usual, PAMan talking out of his ass.
-
And of course, PAMan is reluctant to acknowledge the coaches have not played Claypool nearly as much as you would expect since getting here. Fields’ fault, I’m sure.
He also conveniently doesn’t remember all the way back to last year when Tua and Hurts weren’t thought of as good passers. And two years ago when Josh Allen was pretty highly erratic.

Would take that trade in a heartbeat. I’ve heard Buckner could be made available. Would be exactly what we need at the 3tech and obviously played for Eberflus before.
-
Turning that 2nd pick into Buckner and 5 1st rounders seems a bit unrealistic though. Wonder what it would take to get Tee Higgins or Mike Evans. Think you could get Evans for that Ravens 2nd round pick. Not sure that’d be enough for Higgins.
-

Yeah you should check it out. I got us a starting DL, LT, and WR. Plus 3 potentially high future 1st round picks and a 2nd rounder. It only lets you do the first two rounds but that’s a pretty good haul for one draft. Not even counting the other 5 rounds, that’s a damn good draft!!

The Panthers moving up two picks and giving us a first rounder next year only had a 5% chance to be accepted, but they did on the simulator due to needing a QB.

Would take in a millisecond. If they turn that pick into anything resembling 5 1sts and DeForest Buckner just name Poles GM of the Year that day.
-
Might be surprised to learn I’d actually like to go defense with the first pick (unless the best WR in the draft is available). Then you could talk me into that. Wouldn’t hate a OLineman, but read up on Parris Johnson and Skoronski and their profiles sounded more like mid 1sts to me anyway.

Man, I’d give my left testicle to be an NFL GM. Or just an advisor getting paid six figures. It’d be so much fun doing that for a living.

Yeah Carter and Anderson were gone so had to go with OT. Being I got Buckner, made sense in this case.
-
Sounds like there’s some good value at DLine/edge in the 6-15 range.
-
Of course, if you can land Buckner somehow, you can pick whatever the hell you want with your first rounder. Anything would make sense. OL, WR, DL
Don’t think I’d complain unless it was a Ryan Pace style reach.
-
Plus set up the next two years with two 1st rounders.
-
Would be an amazing haul, but seems a little unrealistic to me. Here’s hoping. How does the website “approve” trades?
-
But if the Colts traded up for Stroud and the Panthers fell in love with Levis and he’s there, it could happen I guess. Dominoes would be falling perfectly.
-

The PFF fantasy simulator gives a percentage on if the trades will be approved or denied based on what you select to include. Mine had a 5% chance to work with the Panthers, but I took a chance and apparently they accepted it. Weird, but kinda cool.
-
I’d even offer a 2nd or 3rd rounder back to the Colts to tip that first trade in.
-
If you pick something crazy, it’ll flat out tell you that the trade won’t be accepted.
Like if we were offered a 6th round pick for Fields 😂

I’m really hating the Claypool trade right now. Really really hating it. Was hopeful it would work out, but I never liked it.

I hope so. The talent is there. But there’s also a reason Pittsburgh unloaded him.

Looks pretty good to me, too, but I’d be surprised if they draft two WRs let alone 2 in the first 2 rounds. I’d take this though.

Not saying I agree with this, but thought it was pretty damn funny. Not sure I’d want McDaniel as Bears coach, but man I’d love to try it out in an alternate universe.

Hopefully any WRs you pick with your draft stimulator, Judge Judy, can get open, get separation, catch, and, most importantly, block.
-
Aren't these Poles' WR pick-ups so far ?
Jones, Pringle, Harry, ESB, Claypool and Smith-Marsette.
Maybe Judge and Tempo should be making the picks.
-
Who knew it would take a one year one million dollar contract on a guy who could conceivably be cut next year for PAMan to flip out completely.
-
“Draft stimulator,” sounds hot.

You mean 2 top 50 WR and 1 who can only block that were "nothing to work with"?
-
Lol
-

They don't call the plays.

Claypool has played 126 snaps as a Bear in 5 games (7 if you count the games he’s missed). He played 125 in his last two games as a Steeler.
Mooney played about 11-12 games with the Bears this year. A couple games where the conditions made throwing the ball incredibly difficult. And admittedly a few games where Fields just didn’t throw well at all. That also doesn’t factor in the line can’t pass protect. Every QBs numbers suffer under poor protection. I don’t know why we’d expect a 2nd year QB to overcome that.
As I’ve said a hundred times, Fields needs to improve as a passer. And there are definitely times he’s held the ball too long, that is perfectly common in young quarterbacks. Anyone who thinks it’s not doesn’t know anything about the game. Fields is far from perfect as a passer, but until he gets better players around him, I am grading him on a curve. Again, no one though Tua and Hurts were actually good passers until this year. It’s amazing how people can’t remember all the way back to last year.
-
You mean 2 top 50 WR and 1 who can only block that were "nothing to work with"?
If Pittsburgh thought highly of him, why would they have traded him?
-
And also, regarding “holding onto the ball too long.” Fields isn’t your normal talent limited checkdown quarterback. He’s a “touchdown to checkdown” quarterback. He needs to learn to get rid of it quicker, but I’d rather have a high ceiling guy who can make the big splash plays and coach him up rather than a noodle armed Chad Pennington who can only dink and dunk the ball around the field.
Anyone who doesn’t understand all of this is a low football IQ individual. I’d much rather have a guy who can deliver the big play (with arm or legs) than a guy who’s just gonna dump it off the first chance he gets.
-
It took Brett Fave until his 4th year in the league to become a proficient passer. I don’t know why people can’t cut Justin Fields some slack after being badly mismanaged and playing with mostly bums his first two.
-
Seams to reason that if the Bears coaches liked what they were seeing from Claypool, he wouldn’t be losing 2-3 dozen snaps per game to EQ St. Brown, Byron Pringle, N’Keal Harry, and Dante Pettis.
-
And by all accounts, Fields is exhibiting excellent leadership, work ethic, and tough as nails. I don’t understand why some Bears fans seem to be rooting against him.
-

Hilariously, about 12 minutes later Dan Bernstein touched on this very subject. Would definitely encourage a listen (10:30). It’s almost as if he were talking to PAMan and Mn.
-

I don’t think anybody is rooting AGAINST him, they’ve just not seen enough passing skill to root FOR him. If that makes sense.
I agree this thread and everything related to Fields has gotten way out of hand by the fan base. I think almost any QB should get until the end of their rookie deal to see whether or not he’s your future. At least 3 of the 4 years. If at the end of next year he hasn’t made the progress, move on. UNLESS you have an elite QB you’re able to acquire that is.
-
Earlier I said “every quarterback’s numbers suffer under poor pass protection.” There is one exception to that. I think it was Aaron Rodger’s 1st or 2nd season as starter. They couldn’t protect him at all, and he still balled out. I still think of that as the best season long performance (especially under the circumstances) I’ve ever seen a quarterback have.

They sure talk like it. I can’t remember a single occasion where PAMan (or probably Mn) have actually praised him for something other than “being a good wing back.” There’s A LOT to love about this kid. I see some of this animosity on Twitter as well.
-
Fields getting very high praise from his coaches. Especially the QB coach. Wonder if Robert Saleh is saying these things about Zack Wilson…

Fields is a good wing back though. So was Bobby Douglass.

-
Not positive, but I think MAYBE Mn once called him “tough.”
-
Tough as shit, I believe. And I've acknowledged his running ability. And I don't remember ever questioning his work ethic.
He hasn't shown to be an accurate passer and I've never subscribed to the qb assessment theory of 'well if he can just complete a long ball once in a while'.
I would much prefer consistency over a nice pass once in a while. There's nothing wrong with that school of thought.
Instead the argument since Sept has been that Fields is a star in the making, a budding super star. He may very well be some day. I hope he is and the Bears are winning games.
Instead I hear that he could look better but he doesn't call the plays, he could look better but he doesn't have any wrs, he could look better but the OL is atrocious.
I haven't heard much positive about the Poles picks since his arrival, other than the dbs. But boy, he'll nail this next draft and the Bears will compete for the NFC.
I'm sorry if I don't get excited about Fields, but he's got a ways to go yet. Will he and when will he get there ? Who knows.
The Bears set a franchise record for consecutive losses and they may very well see loss #10 on Sunday. But I'm not going to root for them to lose in hopes they can have a shot at the #1 pick.
And Tempo, I believe I've been watching the Bears longer than you've been alive.

!!!!!! golds!
Need a clappy emoji here.
-
A lot to unpack there. Poles looks to have nailed two good (one maybe really really good) DBs without a 1st round pick. He got a LT in the 5th round who hasn’t been the biggest problem on the offensive line. Not sure he’s a good LT but I’m convinced he can be a guy worth keeping and maybe he better on the right side. He got a possible future pro bowl punter.
Considering he had almost no draft assets, that’s a decent draft. You’re usually doing well if you get 2-3 good players in a draft. And again, he had no 1sts. Velus Jones looks awful. Hated the pick on draft day.
Also Jack Sanborn performed admirably as a FA rookie.
-
As fas as accuracy, it was clearly better (most often) after the first month or so. A lot of analysts (of which I posted and PAMan rejected) said they saw growth in his game.
He doesn’t call the plays, so it’s unfair to only point at him as the reason they don’t throw the ball. I’m really baffled by the fact they don’t call more slants, crossing routes etc. I would love to have two minutes of Getsy’s time to have him explain why.
It’s perfectly factual the talent around him is well below par. Everyone but PAMan seems to concede that. He says it every blue moon but then says “but Fields has to overcome that because he’s the most important position on the field” qualifiers.
-
If Poles had hit that 3rd pick, it would have been a terrific draft.
-
Also slightly hopeful Doug Kramer (who missed the whole season with injury) can possibly be a usable Center. Dominque Robinson has flashed potential, but I’m not banking on him to be great.
-

Because Fields isn't accurate. Those passes get picked off too easily.
-

No. You’re guessing here.
-
Peyton Manning’s rookie INT rate was 4.9%. Fields’ over two years is about 3.5. I don’t want to hear “he’s turning it over too much.” You’re just guessing as to what you think would happen. Your hunches need to be better supported.
-
As I’ve said many times there are a lot of factors at work:
1) Fields not developed enough
2) Protection is very poor
3) Receivers are not good/reliable
4) terrible defense (can’t have 22 second drives)
5) conservative, defensive oriented HC
6) they run it really well
-
No. You’re guessing here.
Lol. You think they've tried it in practice ?
-
Lol. You think they've tried it in practice ?
Probably.
-
Lol. You think they've tried it in practice ?
The problem with your assumption (it’s Fields’ fault) is that assumes everyone else is good at what they do. Given the obvious talent deficiencies across the offense and a rookie OC wouldn’t that be assuming a lot? Certainly couldn’t be that Getsy doesn’t feel slants are what his receiving corps does well, right? Couldn’t be that a rookie OC falls in love with certain plays and concepts and just doesn’t get around to calling more slants? It’s got to be Justin Fields’ fault, amirite?
-
Lol. You think they've tried it in practice ?
We know JFC has "nothing to work with" so that means the Bear have ZERO WRs who can run any those routes. NOT ONE. NADA. ZIP. ZILCH. NOBODY. NONE.
-
If the Bears don’t do something well it’s Justin Fields’ fault. Has to be. No other explanation.
-
I can tell you right now what PAMan’s narrative would be on this.

The Jaguars had the first pick last year and are in the playoffs this year.
The Bears have easily the most cap space in the NFL and they have the #1 pick. They control the FA market, trade market, and NFL draft. They are in a strong position moving forward.

Judge Judy’s virtual trade scenario in which the Bears trade down twice is now realistic. And could even potentially still get Anderson or Carter. That would be unbelievable. Trade with Denver and then trade into that 5 spot with Indy would be amazing.

For every Bengals success story getting Burrow, there’s far more that remain garbage.

Look at the mocks. I think I’ve seen maybe one where Young wasn’t the overall #1. Stroud and Levis usually got top 2-6. Not the strongest year for QB, but not a bad one either. I wish there were one more obvious top 3 QB.
-
Aren't people skeptical of the QBs in this draft class? Isn't Young 5 9 or 5 10?
He’s bigger than Kyler Murray who went #1 overall. Probably not much smaller than Baker, but much more athletic. I don’t think teams are scared off by size as much as they used to be.

Well they certainly need cap space given that they need to replace virtually the entire roster from a 3-14 team
See if you can get ThePAMan to understand this for me.

Detroit Lions (8-8)
Chicago Bears (3-14)

Must protect the budding superstar at this point.
I note that the QBs who played yesterday had time to throw, for the vast part of the game, against the remnants of the Viking starting D. Maybe the line pass block better for guys they know will actually throw the ball?

if the bears don't draft Jalen Carter or trade down for a shitload of picks they are retarded
-
if the bears don't draft Jalen Carter or trade down for a shitload of picks they are retarded
As much as I want Carter or Anderson, it would be a crime against humanity if they don’t trade down. Ideal scenario would be to trade with Indy and maybe still get Carter along with a big haul of high picks/players.
-
I actually didn’t realize Indy fell to 4th. They’d be the ideal trading partner. They are so dysfunctional, and I’m sure Irsay is dying to put the Andrew Luck narrative behind him. Pittman or DeForest Buckner would look good in Bears uniforms.
-
My preference would be a loss. How many teams can get the 1st pick with a budding super star and GM of the Year ?
And do it by design.
Lol.

I think the ceiling could be very high. But he has to put in a lot of work.
Floor is if he hurts his legs, can't run, and still can't pass: A crippled Mitch.,

I wouldn’t disagree with that. Although I think he’s clearly already a better passer than Mitch. But I think what you said is mostly fair.

I know you’d never tune into Dan Bernstein, but you should listen to their 43 minutes with Anthony Herron starting at 11:00. Some really good discussion was going on there. I might give it a re-listen as I missed some of it here and there and didn’t give it my undivided attention. A lot of really good talk on Fields and the Bears, though.

I usually find Anthony Herron kind of boring (vanilla analysis) but I thought he’s been really good lately.

I think one reason the offense slowed down is they stopped running fields as much. The last 4 games he probably carried the ball half as much as he did the previous 4-5. I would guess due to nicks and bruises (shoulder) and seeing the trajectory of the season.
This team wouldn’t have been competitive in as many games as they were without Fields.
I think Fields was better on improvised runs anyway. Getsy got too run design happy for a good bit.

Here’s an article I love seeing. If the Bears could add Saquon and make a trade for a guy like Mike Evans (and add a couple of OL starters, oh man). 12 million is not that bad for a guy of Saquon’s caliber. He, Fields, and a strong deep threat would be really dynamic. I like Montgomery, but he doesn’t have big play explosiveness. And Herbert doesn’t catch or block well.

I’ve followed him pretty closely as I’ve often had him on my fantasy team. He only missed one game this year I think. He had the ACL (bad luck) and the high ankle sprain I think last year. I don’t think he’s had a huge injury history outside of those. Could happen to anyone. He’s not Alshon Jeffrey or anything like that.
-
I like David Montgomery. He’s a good player. The Bears just need another explosive threat to go with Fields. I salivate at the idea of Fields, Saquon, and Mike Evans together.

Saquon is only projected to be about 4 million per year more. I think that’d be worth it.

Springfield does not appear receptive at this point and there is legislation preventing "sports teams" from accessing certain funds intended for businesses in the latest spending bill. Not even a word about any money Cook County would kick in.

Not surprised it took you this long to figure out what Kevin Warren's focus would be when it was patently obvious at the time his interviewing was announced. You are so AOTC. Hilarious.

Springfield does not appear receptive at this point and there is legislation preventing "sports teams" from accessing certain funds intended for businesses in the latest spending bill. Not even a word about any money Cook County would kick in.
Really? They hired the guy who got the Viking stadium built (in the same town as the old stadium) to focus on the Arlington Heights stadium. Who knew? LOL.
The stadium that required millions of dollars in repairs shortly after being built ?

Define “suck.” I’d say sometimes it sucks. Sometimes it’s very good. Got a sports centered media platform you’d define as consistently excellent?

Yes, despite the fact it’s been no secret the Bears intend to build a stadium in AH, and that Warren was credited with overseeing the construction of the Vikings’ new stadium, I couldn’t possibly have put that together until it was reported yesterday. And here I thought I was just assuring the naysayers who insisted the Bears wouldn’t be building a new stadium that they intend to do just that.

Yep, but birds don't count. It's not much different than when the birds fly into the windmills or the whales are dying off of NJ from trying to put windmills in the ocean.
The panels leaked because they tried to do the stadium on the cheap, but they were able to put the repair burden onto the contractor.

An NFL reporter yesterday said he thought it was the best stadium in the NFL, so not a total failure apparently.

Welcome back

I asked the Chatbot whatever the hell it is called, Is Justin Fields a good quarterback?
Here is the answer:
"Justin Fields is a highly rated quarterback in the NFL. He has a strong arm and good mobility, and has shown the ability to make quick decisions and accurate throws. He was a top quarterback prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft, selected by the Chicago Bears as the 11th overall pick. Many analysts believe he has the potential to develop into a franchise quarterback. However, it's worth noting that his professional career is just starting and he has not played in a regular season game yet, so it's too early to make a definitive statement on his overall quality as a quarterback."
Yeah, I'm not worried about the computers taking over anytime soon.
-
So I changed it to Is Justin Fields a good NFL quarterback?
Here is the answer:
"It is difficult to say for certain whether Justin Fields is a good NFL quarterback as he has not yet played in the NFL. However, he has shown potential as a quarterback during his college career at Ohio State and during pre-draft evaluations. Ultimately, his success as a quarterback in the NFL will depend on factors such as his ability to adapt to the pro game, his performance during training camp and the preseason, and his development under the guidance of his coaching staff."
-
Hahaha
Why does Justin Fields suck as an NFL QB?
"I'm sorry, but I don't have any information that suggests Justin Fields "sucks" as an NFL quarterback. In fact, he was a highly-regarded prospect coming out of college and was drafted in the first round by the Chicago Bears in the 2021 NFL Draft. It is too early to make any definitive judgments about his performance as a professional quarterback, as he has not yet had a significant amount of playing time. Additionally, it's not appropriate to make negative comments about someone's performance without any supporting evidence."

Can you show me where I was “skeptical” of Warren? I said it was a great hire.
-
Chris Zorich was on The Score yesterday. Apparently Zorich was Warren’s first client when he started an agency (says Warren was his inspiration to go to law school). If Kevin Warren is everything that I’ve heard he is (based on numerous interviews from multiple sources) the Bears hit it out of the park with this hire. Warren seems to know everyone. And everyone speaks glowingly of him.
Oh, look. Took me 6 seconds to find a post where I said “it seems they’ve hit it out of the park” with this hire. Now where does that jive with Parkins’ “skepticism?”

Former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, wants the same for the quarterback.

You might want to read the press release where they concede it is not a done deal. Pritzker also said this week that state money was not going to be used.
That being said, had discussions about this last weekend. Of course none of the "Yeah, this is a done deal!" people could tell me what "Chicago" was going to get out of this. I did come up with "pension relief." If the state pays off Chicago's pension bills, yeah, this is happening.
What do people think "Chicago" is going to get out of this for legislators to go along with this?

Free agency starts March 15th. I believe they are allowed to talk a couple of days before that.

No clue what you’re talking about? The Bears are moving AM1000? Not a fan of their station. Everyone’s voice sounds the same minus JHood and they are very meatbally.

But I do sometimes switch to 1000 if The Score is doing a topic that bores me. Which is usually baseball or Bulls.

LaConfora did discuss this as the Raven have asked for state $$$ to fix their stadium while not spending what they can for the on field product.

Tempo and Judy, isn't it a league rule that the NFL owners have to put the guaranteed part of contracts in escrow at the start of the contract? That makes Watson's deal so unique and tough to replicate.

Conservative defensive coach. Worst front 7 in football. Can’t block (especially on obvious passing downs). Pitiful receiving corps. They were excellent at running the ball. Rookie HC and OC Gee, I wonder what could be some of the reasons they didn’t pass a lot. Oh, I know. Justin Fields sucks. That’s the only reason.

Yes, because in some weird way, telling Kap this somehow saves Getsy. Nice RandomLogicMan stuff, there.

They eschewed passing after what, 7 games of his sucking at passing? Again, we have been through this.
But we agree, QBs getting tackled is not good for QB health. That would include running and getting tackled.

They “eschewed” it way earlier than that. They didn’t even give him a chance to suck before they “eschewed” it. The first game was in a monsoon, and they were running the ball every play down 14 to GB on the road early in the 4th quarter. They did this because they had a super conservative philosophy (and yes, passing game deficiencies, entirely Justin Fields’ fault, or course…).

Everyone creamed their jeans over getting Mack. I said that it was a risky trade seeing as how you were going all in on an unproven quarterback and a rookie head coach. Everyone told me I was dumb for not loving the trade. Well, we got zero playoff wins out of it, and giving away draft capital put us in a 5+ year hole. I’d say I clearly won the argument.

All speculative. No quotes from anyone.
In theory, yes, Claypool is going to want to get paid and DJ Moore is going to want to tear up that contract after next year, but c'mon.
-
Who cares? Getting Moore may be an admission by Poles that he effed up trading for Claypool. If Claypool produces great. Maybe they re-sign him. Maybe they don’t. It would not shock me to see the Bears draft Njigba and be totally prepared to let Claypool skate.

Ok, then.

I couldn’t for the life of me see redoing Claypool’s deal right now unless Poles really still believes in him and thinks he can get him for cheaper by doing it right away. I don’t know why Claypool would want to restructure his contract coming off the season he had.

Really hope they don’t sign McGlinchey as rumored. He’s coming off a mediocre season (although it’s said he was dealing with a fair serious injury). He’s not even well regarded as a pass blocker.

Another really good signing. Poles appears to know what he’s doing and isn’t about to overpay for anybody. I kinda like it. Even though it’s somewhat boring, it’s effective.

Tremaine Edmunds signs with the Bears for a large contract.

Nate Davis signing is very underrated. And the two LB’s are a good start on the defense. Definitely need a DT and LT but those could be addressed in draft and/or trade. Will be interesting here on out.

Sign Dre’Mont Jones and all will be ok with the DT spot. There might be a reason they’re not though…
Can definitely go a bunch of different directions in the draft.
So a tidbit in Orlando Brown, it appears he might be out because of the scheme the Bears wanna play and he doesn’t fit. I’m ok if that’s the case.

IDK Brown was good enough to be entrusted with Patrick Mahomes’ blind side 3-4 years and earned high accolades. I’m guessing he can play in just about any scheme. Seeing as how Poles had input into their Oline I’d be surprised if he wasn’t a fit.

At least the Seahawks aren’t gonna go after Carter it appears so it’s very likely he falls to us now at 9. It really would be unbelievable if he was still there. Poles would hit a homerun with him at 9.

There was plenty of blame to go around. On obvious passing downs Fields was pressured easily and often.
-
Thinking about it, shoring up the middle might be the best way to help Fields. Seemed like the breakdowns were often up the middle. And everyone knows you can make even great quarterbacks struggle if you get pressure in their face. The Eagles and Giants did it to Brady in Super Bowls.

Was. Never. Fields'. Fault. Hopefully he is planning on making quicker reads and getting the ball out. If he doesn't, it is not his fault either. If he does, I'll be happy.

I wonder what Adam Thielen will get in free agency? He’s not really the prototype for Fields, but he could really help bolster the depth and versatility. Probably not what he was a couple of years ago, but dude knows how to get open and catches everything.

Blah, blah, blah. I doubt it.
-
If you’re looking for Fields to be a Tom Brady or Drew Brees type passer you’ll likely be disappointed. He’s a big play quarterback and that’s part of what makes him potentially special. Put the proper players and scheme around him, and I’m pretty sure he’ll flourish. He might get better at it, but he’ll likely never be a guy who regularly gets rid of it quickly. And he’d be limiting his upside if he did. He’s a touchdown to checkdown passer. Most quarterbacks don’t have the skill to play that way.
-

I just hope he’s watching film and learning to read defenses. And squatting 600 pounds. Because you can’t be a good quarterback unless you’re squatting 600 pounds.

From what I’ve found his stats are comparable to Dremont Jones (actually has one more sack), and his PFF grade is 20 points higher. FWIW.

Montgomery to the Lions. Tough runner but Herbert made him expendable.

Montgomery to the Lions. Tough runner but Herbert made him expendable.
Herbert is a nice RB, but I don’t envision him as a load back of any sort. He’s a 1 the same way Mooney is a 1 (he’s not) IMO. It might be crazy talk, but I’d be pretty excited to see the Bears take Bijan Robison 1st round (preferably after trading down again). Or maybe Jahmyr Gibbs if he’s there in the 2nd.
-
This could be the dreamer (uh oh Jobu) in me, but I’m starting to get the feeling the Bears draft Bijan Robinson. Some people say he’s the best player in the draft. I’d be down with 5+ years of a guy who’s billed as a more physical Saquon Barkley.
There are tons of DLinemen in this draft. They could go back to back 2nd and 3rd round and find good players IMO.
-
Would be ideal if they could trade down a few spots and still get him mid 1st.
Really sucks we don’t have that high end 2nd round pick. Would have been great to have two top 35 picks.
-
A playmaking back who excels at receiving would be great to pair with Fields IMO. Would rather draft one, but I’m intrigued.

Bears signing Seattle RB Travis Homer. 3rd string caliber back. Good pass catcher. Serviceable player, not starting material. Solid special teamer. 2 years 4.5 million or thereabouts. I’m guessing the Bears draft another RB, just a matter of how high I’m thinking.
-
Andy Dalton to the Panthers. Hopefully he can throw lots of pick 6s and help the Bears get the #1 pick again next year.
-
Then we’d have to put up statues of him and Lovie.
-
This is interesting. Fairly believable in my opinion. Just don’t know what you’d get for him at this point. Hopefully you could find a sucker. Probably would be best used as a throw-in in a trade IMO.

And oh, your favorite player EQ St. Brown.

Well we do have the Panthers pick next year and likely a top-5. Paired with our first rounder and capital, it’s very likely if Fields doesn’t perform this year, we have a very good shot at securing Williams somehow with trades if needed.

It’s gonna have to go pretty bad for either the Bears or Carolina to get the #1 pick. It’s possible both are top 10 draft picks, but not realistic to think top 1 or 2.

I’d sub the word possible for “likely.” The Bears are basically tied with Minnesota as the 2nd team in the NFC North (which is assuming Rodgers moves on). And this isn’t me talking, it’s the odds makers.
-
Saw a rumor that the Bears are “favorites” to land Miles Sanders. Good player. Has trouble staying healthy. I’d personally rather draft Robinson or Gibbs.

Heard some interesting betting numbers from Joe Ostrowski today. Going off memory here. The Bears are tied with Minnesota as 2nd choice in the division (Lions number 1). The Bears’ Super Bowl odds dropped like 40 points I think it was. Justin Fields’ MVP odds down to 20-1.

Seeing a lot of stuff where the Bears could be in on Austin Ekeler. And most of the trade scenarios I’ve seen seem pretty reasonable. A bit older than you’d want, but elite weapon who would be fantastic for Fields’ development. He and Herbert would compliment each other very well IMO.
-
Seen packages like 3rd and a 6th, 2nd and a 7th, and just saw one Herbert and a 5th. Those are packages I’d give for a receiving back of his caliber (best in NFL). What an exciting offense that would be.

Add Ekeler, sign a veteran possession/red zone guy like Thielen to complement these young guys. Draft Paris Johnson. That has me salivating (definitely not dreaming though).

Stacey Dales was on The Score (sorry PAMan), couldn’t have spoken more glowingly of Bijan Robinson; on and off the field. Says she thinks he’s the best player in the draft, and that she’d take him at 9 assuming he’s there. I’d be totally down with going all-in on offense. Especially considering this draft is said to be very deep on DL.
Hopeful (but definitely not dreaming of) scenario! Carter is there at 9, Pittsburgh covets him and Poles goes full “Draft Day” and gets his 2nd rounder back. Turning those picks into Robinson and Cancey! A guy can be hopeful (but definitely not dream)!

Whitehair should move to Whitehair Insurance Agency or Whitehair Quality Used Autos.

Great stuff coming out of the Poles presser currently. Dude just gets it and doesn’t shy away from questions. Giving some really good answers to questions we all have. I like it.

Bears just signed Tonyan. Hmmm
-
Six long painful months until the opener. This is all I have sports wise now. The Sox ain’t doing shit.
-
Signed RB D"onta Foreman. Hopefully he can block.
-
Logical signings if not inspiring (they are not inspiring).
-
So this would seem to indicate Poles isn’t taking a RB in the draft. Especially day 1 or 2.
-
Signed RB D"onta Foreman. Hopefully he can block.
He’s a halfway decent back. Clearly not a long-term answer though. He’d be a solid backup. A bit surprised Herbert, Foreman, Homer would be the RB room. All worthy of a roster spot but I’d hope for a bigger hitter in the group. I wouldn’t rule out Herbert getting traded.
-
Ha, didn’t know Tonyan is from McHenry. Pretty soon we’ll have an all Northern Illinois (hard to call them burbs) teams
-
Tonyan and Foreman definitely fall into the category of “value signing” that Poles likes to talk about.
-
Poles bent them (Panthers) over (more or less) for the 1st pick, now he’s signing their whole offense.

IMO they got a dynamic WR, a decent backup QB who seems to be a good fit for the Bears, and a roster worthy backup stop gap quality RB who can start a few games for you if you need him to, but wouldn’t be viewed as a long-term player/starter.

Just looked over Foreman’s numbers. I knew he wasn’t much of a receiver, but his receiving numbers are very low. Maybe the can package Herbert and a 3rd rounder to LA for Ekeler…then they can have a Herbert/Herbert backfield.

I wouldn’t be upset about it. The OLine would be improved dramatically, then you could theoretically go with a luxury pick in the 1st round like RB or WR. Then load up on DL 2nd and 3rd rounds

I also expected him to not completely suck as a passer. His performance has been subpar and unacceptable. I expect him to be better. I am not holding my breath.
-
Why would you “expect” him to get better if you “know” he won’t?
-
Why would you “expect” him to get better if you “know” he won’t?
Because he has been so bad as a passer, he has to get better. Even if he does not wind up as a replacement level passing QB, he has to get better.
I know there is always a chance he figures it out, too. I'm skeptical, but it would be far more enjoyable watching the Bear if he did.
-
Now, I know you have said he is not a finished product. Do you believe his overall play has met your expectations as the 11th pick in the draft?
-

I think his performance has been up and down, but was reasonably strong last year. I think he’s had probably the least support of any young QB in recent memory. He had to play under the crazily dysfunctional Nagy and Pace, then had to learn a new system in his 2nd year while the team was literally being torn down around him. Considering all that, I thought his performance was pretty admirable. As I’ve said, 250x he’s not a finished product as a passer, and needs to get better.
I literally said “how about we wait to call him a failure until we’ve seen what he does with more help (at least 10x)?” You quickly, loudly, and repeatedly shot that down. And now you want to say “I expect him to pull it together,” as if you’ve been “consistent” or fair on Justin Fields all along. It’s a huge load of mularkey.

I disagree. While I like the fact that they're willing to trade some picks for proven players, I think he's the wrong guy. He's unhappy in Pittsburgh because not enough targets. Don't think he'll see more here. Why do you think the Steelers drafted Pickens? He's a problem for the locker room and off the field as well. Fields needs help but I'm not sure how much this will help.

Didn’t like the trade, especially at the price (which at the time looked to be about the 40th pick); but understood why they would make the trade. I said it the day they got him he’s a known knucklehead (not a troublemaker, but more of a half-wit).

I don’t think anybody is saying Fields can’t throw. I think the problem is him processing defenses and coverages fast enough to make those throws on time and not holding onto the ball too long. He showed at O$U that when his players are open he can hit them. When the competition is just as good though and the game is faster in the NFL is where he’s struggled to process it.

Depends. He’s already better than Mitch, though. Mitch never once showed the ability to lead an explosive offense. I don’t think JFC has to have a “great” year to get a 4th year. I’d say a 4th year is likely unless he’s really bad.
-
I guess you did use the word “adequately,” but that is a subjective word. If he’s reasonably competent he’s back next year. Unless they have a top 2 pick.
-

I'll take "reasonably competent," but even that would mean they will be looking to draft someone, don't you think?
-
I'll take "reasonably competent," but even that would mean they will be looking to draft someone, don't you think?
I think it depends on where they are in the draft. They have a lot of great draft capital (OMG I just said that about the Bears!), but I don't think it's enough to move up to 1 or 2 unless they are like 3 or 4. I guess they could draft someone after that, but I don't see them taking the 3rd or 4th quarterback in the draft unless Fields is really bad or gets seriously injured.
Trading that draft capital is an option, but I don't think Poles pushes that button except in dire circumstances. Unless Fields is really bad and they are drafting 1 or 2 I think Fields gets a 4th year.
-
Obviously, what we're hoping for is Fields throws for 4,000 yards and is a pro-bowl candidate if not MVP candidate. Again, barring a disastrous year I'm pretty sure he's back in '24.

Funny PAMan mentions Trubisky. He's trending (and as usual, not for good reasons).

A bit worried they didn’t do enough to shore up the offensive line. The starting 5 should be “ok,” but depth looks to be lacking.

As is often the case, Custard has a peculiar interpretation of events.
Yes, the Bears were basically bad on purpose last year. So of course, just about anything could be “headed in the right direction.” But I don’t think the point of the article is that the Bears are gonna be better because “how could they not be?” Improvement is the lowest of bars.
I think by “headed in the right direction” means they are improving their roster (again, how could they not?), and look to have a plan in place to be competitive sooner rather than later.
Of course they are “headed in the right direction (if that’s being interpreted as “better than last year”). It would be hard to be as bad or worse.
Lastly, I don’t think PAMan was “joking.” There’s nothing to lead one to that conclusion.
I interpret “headed in the right direction” as more than just “not as bad as last year.”
-
Of course the Bears “should be better than last year.” Couldn’t be a lot worse without a lot of injuries. This was a Belichikian “doing things the right way” article, if you will (That was for you PAMan!).

The problem with your analysis is that the Bear did not start the season tanking. Once they saw how bad the team was, including you-know-who, they went into tank mode and shed guys in week, what, 3 or 4?
-
Liked the Ngakoue signing. They need pass rushers in the worst way.

For the 40th time, winning was never the highest priority. Getting their finances in order was. That’s why they traded Mack before the season and almost certainly led the league in starters on one year deals last year. No team with so many one year contracts is emphasizing “winning.” Sure, they weren’t explicitly “trying to lose,” but the priority was stripping the roster of older and more expensive talent. Players they didn’t feel were worth a high investment or didn’t figure to be important pieces 2-3 years down the road.
They were still technically in the playoff hunt and just came off of their dismantling of NE in prime time then immediately traded their two most accomplished players. That doesn’t seem like a team that’s prioritizing “winning” to me.
-
They were 3-4 and coming off an impressive road win when they traded away Quinn. No team that’s prioritizing winning makes this move.
"On the business side, it just made too much sense for what we're trying to do," general manager Ryan Poles told reporters. "It's going to allow us to continue to build a highly competitive roster.
-
Did they “set out” to go 3-14? No. But the priority was always rebuilding for the future. And that meant dealing with wherever the cards fell. They were hoping to strip it bare, maybe hit on a couple one year deal guys (much as the Cubs did with Bellinger). Again, that’s why they dealt Mack way before the season started. The priority was getting the cap in line, acquiring draft capital, and building for the future. After that, it was “do the best you can with what you’ve got left.”
-
Are you saying that if they were 6-1 or 5-2, they would still have been selling off?
What about 4-3?
-

It’s funny that you ask that question because I was about to make that exact point. No, of course not, if they had been 6-1 or 5-2 it would’ve been preposterous not to chase the playoffs. But since they were 3-4 or 3-5 chasing the playoffs wouldn’t have been prudent, but it was feasible. If it wasn’t a brand new regime, they probably would have chased the playoffs. Pace would have for sure.

Which means they only sold off after they saw the team sucked. As we all saw, the offense really struggled (being generous here) until they shifted the offensive game plan.
-
The Bear only tanked after seeing that the offense was as bad as the US Women Third World Cup team"s.

Believe that dipshit narrative if you want to. They scored 33 points on the road the week before they traded Robert Quinn. And then 29 points against an excellent Dallas defense the week before trading Roquan.
-
Unless the Bears had a winning record and legitimate playoff chances, they were likely always trading Quinn and Roquan.
-

At least you have finally admitted they were not tanking from the start. Took you 7 months to finally admit that.
-
By trading Mack and gutting the salary with one year deals, they were obviously going into the season “prepared to live with the results.” I don’t think the Bears were ever outright “tanking,” but they didn’t field a good team basically by design if you can wrap your head around that. The primary goals going into the season were getting the financials in order and getting younger. Then it was “do the best you can with what you’ve got.”
-
“Tanking” is a bit strong, but Poles ran the team like he was Jerry Reinsdorf. A poorer even less willing to spend money Jerry Reinsdorf.
-
They were dumping Mack because he only had a part of a decent year and was overpaid, to the chagrin of chumps like MiniDitka who slobbered all over him.
-

They dumped him for multiple reasons.
1) Overpaid
2) Old/often injured
3) Needed draft capital
4) One of few players they had capable of getting you anything in return
5) “Winning” wasn’t the priority year one
-
If Ryan Pace had still been GM zero chance Mack gets traded. He’d have been borrowing from the future (yet again) to try to stay competitive

Arlington Heights is the overwhelming favorite.
Bob Nightengale reporting today Arlington Heights one of 3 sites the Pale Hose interested in playing in a retractable domed stadium.
If the McCaskey were smart, they would team up with The Chairman. He knows how to get the politics done. The problem for them would be how much he would fleece them.
If The Chairman joins forces with the McCaskey, the Bear stadium gets done in Arlington Heights. If not, it does not, as he will suck all the state money for his stadium either at Soldier Field or next to the United Center.

Wait a second. Maybe we should hope the QB doesn't still suck and can throw the ball to him. Remember the outburst on the sideline because he was not throwing the ball (to anyone)? Hopefully the QB spent more time on film and less on the Bible this off-season.

It’s beyond obvious the coaches weren’t happy with him. All the way up to training camp this year. When he was listed as unavailable, then available the next day. Weird, but something had to be going on. Claypool sucked. That’s why Pittsburgh unloaded him.

Guys were open? Where? The one down the hash mark Mooney or whoever it was was blanketed. It was also a bad pass.
-
I don't expect him to be an MVP candidate. I expect him to be somewhat competent as a passer. He has not shown that he is.
He threw 6 fucking passes. In preseason. Relax.
-
He also had an easy catch dropped.
-
Preseason.
He should have looked far better in preseason. It only gets tougher here on out.
Of course they are going to mask his deficiencies by having him run the ball. It will work decently until he gets his bell rung or he gets hurt. We both know one of the other will happen if he plays QB in the same manner as the last half of last year.
-
If he goes 12 for 26 against GB I’ll hear ya out. Relax. Take a breath on the subject.
-

Watch the video, Tempo. Guys were open and he was forcing the ball to covered people.

Wow. Even the video dude said he may have wanted to take something off of that pass even though it should have been caught
-

It is preseason. He should have looked good on those 6 passes. He didn't.
What do you think the difference is going to be in the regular season?
-
Watch the video, Tempo. Guys were open and he was forcing the ball to covered people.
I don’t think Fields is ever going to be Drew Brees. So maybe get that out of your head. Donovan McNabb or Randall Cunningham will be fine. He’s a touchdown to checkdown guy. His internal clock is different. It’ll hurt on some plays, help on others. He’s not going to be Kurt Warner. But he could be Steve Young.

More sample size. That’s it. A lot more sample size.

Custard, can you pin Tempo's post?
-
I can’t believe a guy sees two drives (which did contain two explosive plays btw) in the preseason and is acting like his hair is on fire. But you’re the same guy who flipped out about a couple extra missed free-throws in a 30 point win in mid-November so that makes sense.
-
Custard, can you pin Tempo's post?
*could be*
Hey quaterback expert. How good was Steve Young the first 7-8 years of his career? Check it out and get back to me.

Look at all those pro-bowl years Steve Young racked up his first 6 years…

PAMan’s brain functions in a weird way. No recollection of Jalen Hurts’ and Josh Allen’s year 1 and 2 struggles.

This is going to be a really fun year if Fields turns into an MVP candidate.

Hope you are right, Tempo. If not, it is going to be a long year. For the Bear, and for you!
-
Glad the Bears made a trade for offensive line help. Feeney apparently can play either guard or center. They will need him. Jenkins is unreliable and Lucas Patrick looks like a total washout. Nate Davis is in the team picture so far as well. OL by far my biggest area for concern heading into the regular season.
-
Jenkins missing 4 games right off the bat.

Yeah that seemed to be a given.
Travis Bell also cut. Only a 7th rounder, but I didn’t get that selection. He didn’t seem to fit what they look for. Odd pick.

But they “really loved him.” Weird.

There’s a massive difference between not freaking out about a subpar preseason performance and saying “fuck it, we’re not gonna do anything to get better till after November.”

Still a true statement!
It took about all of 2 passes to think that Danny Devito, unlike Brandon before him, throws a catchable ball.
Put Devito vs Peters throwing to ESB, with the same patterns, and the same passes and I'll go with Devito finishes with a higher completion percentage.
-

Yet, you refuse to apply this standard to the QB. Yes, I know you thought he should have gotten more snaps in the preseason.

JFC.
You can’t possibly think not freaking out about a very small handful of plays in a preseason game is the same as not making moves to fill roster needs. That’s completely fucking illogical. Not even in the same universe conceptually.
-

When it concerns not having starters available, yeah, I’m gonna fly the concern flag a bit.

It isn't based on just a handful of plays. We are now over 2 seasons in and seeing the same things over and over when it comes to passing the ball.
Not making moves to fill roster needs, indeed.
-

I think this is one of "The Tempo Rules."
-
It’s his first season with adequate help and not having to learn a new system. I’m not going to freak out over a few bad plays in a preseason in which he barely played.
If we’re looking at missing multiple starters on the Oline, that is something to be concerned about.
If Fields comes out and looks bad the first couple of games, have at it.
-
Yet, you refuse to apply this standard to the QB. Yes, I know you thought he should have gotten more snaps in the preseason.
If (weirdly) it makes you feel better, I’m feeling a bit more bearish (no pun intended) on the Bears than a couple weeks ago. But a few mediocre to poor plays against Buffalo aren’t the primary reason.
Just not liking the vibe heading into the regular season. The offensive line health is bad and depth is being exposed. They probably still aren’t deep enough across the board. Not a lot of positive chatter about the offense the last couple weeks. Didn’t get enough playing time in the preseason IMO. I said 10-7 but if I were betting today I’d take the under on 10. Hopefully they come out and beat GB 42-17 and all is forgotten.

What the fuck has Lucas Patrick brought to the table since being here? That guy is pretty much Nate Davis that’s been around longer. Fucking bust at this point.

Nathan Peterman makes the 53 man. Yikes.

Ironic that the guys who aren’t into excuses bend over backwards to make excuses for a receiver that drops a perfectly thrown ball.
He doesn't call the plays.
He can block. Just don't throw him the ball.

But he's a good blocker.
Poles and Flus seem to value that, so not on me.

And it’s still ironic.

Fields has to throw it to someone. He was on the field. And even open as I recall. But still Fields’ fault he dropped it. The pass was too perfect to catch.

Apparently I got some bad info. Just read he’s not on 53 man roster.

JFC, DJ Moore, Eddie Jackson, and Tremaine Edmunds named team captains. Sounds like Eddie is really maturing (finally). Hopefully he’s realized it’s ok to hit someone now and then, not just try to take the ball away.

The numbers are currently such that Eberlose is looking like the worst coach in Bear history. 8 consecutive home losses is a record. Giving up over 30 ppg in however many consecutive games is a record. This guy is worse than Abe Gibron, Jim Dooley or The Arrogant Matt Nagy. Yeah yeah yeah, they were tanking after the bye...enough of the excuses. Even fucking Lovie would be better than this.

For the eleventieth time, last year should barely even count against Flus. They were not prioritizing winning. They were number 1 in dead cap space by a mile. Knute Rockne, Don Shula, and Bill Belichick as a coaching team wasn’t going to win with that roster.

And neither was getting the ball to DJ Moore. Two targets for Moore is inexcusable and that’s on Flus and Getsy.

That loss was an organizational loss. From Poles on down to the ball boy. And yes, Fields played his role in it as well.

I don't know how you can say that after seeing how inept they were yesterday. They had all offseason to prep for that game and yet what we saw was complete trash on both sides of the ball.

In fact, I’d say that’s a probability judging by what we see right now.

He threw the ball over 10 yards 3 freakin times and we know that he had more opportunities and time to do so. Maybe Moore was only thrown to 2x since Fields refuses to throw the damned ball downfield and instead checks down? This is looking like a real possibility based on the videos coming out about him checking down instead of throwing the ball downfield.
Where are your videos of no one running routes downfield?

DJ Moore literally said the screens and short passes were the bulk of the game plan.

I’m sure no small number of those throws were garbage time, when he was just checking down every time. Which I personally didn’t care for. I didn’t like the way he and Gutless laid down at the end.

Doesn't mean they do not suck. Means maybe they have not coached him up properly to actually focus on throwing the ball downfield.

I literally said they should have drafted him and if they couldn’t trade him for something juicy then they’d be “stuck” with perhaps the best player in the draft. Spark and I argued for pages over this.

Well, it’s a lot of stuff, and it’s multi-layered. Make sure you give me a Dan McNeil recap.
-
But for arguments sake, why would they make DJ Moore the centerpiece for the trade and not try to replace Fields if they didn’t trust him to get him the ball? But that’s a minor point. If they didn’t trust him, they should have gotten rid of him. Or at the very least gotten him some competition.

I am not going to disagree. I will suggest you look at the timeline though. April they made the trade, right? OTAs were July. If they really really thought they could coach him up, and you sent us all the "he's working hard in the offseason" puff pieces, then why would they trade him?
I have also suggested to you that maybe they did not like this year's QB draft class (hell, we all know you can find negative and positive assessments each year for each guy) and so they decided to hold onto him simply because they are looking at the rebuild extending past the conclusion of his current contract. (Granted, if they get the 1st pick this year too, they are picking Caleb Williams short of injury, whatever, etc.)
Now we get to July-August and they are seeing Fields has not advanced as they thought. Let's be honest: They had zero competition in camp for any of the projected starters. Now they have to game plan around his deficiencies.
-
There is next to no chance they get the 1st pick. They may well end up with two top 10s, that’s on the table. Virtually no chance they get the #1.

By all accounts, Flus and the coaching staff are under no real pressure to “win big” this year. Even Poles said the team is only “70% built.” They need to FIND OUT if Fields can play. Your line sucks, your defense is suspect. You need to SCORE POINTS. Let Fields play his game. If he fails or gets hurt, and you know for sure that you should keep him or move on. I’m not a big fan of the designed runs, but there was exactly one designed run yesterday. And again, he was by far the most productive runner.
-
I think Parkins is on to something when he says the Bears may be coaching the Justin Fields out of Justin Fields (ohhhhhhh, Danny Parkins!). And he says, that’s not to say that Fields didn’t have plenty to work on.

Odds are they will change the offense in a few weeks if the issues we saw yesterday persist. This could be a rerun of last year with the change in the offense following the bye to let him just throw long and run amuck.

No surprises. I’m willing to give them a pass on Carter, though. My primary beef was they gave him away to the defending NFC Champion for next to nothing (but they got something for a guy they didn’t want!).

Joe Burrow did not "lose" his job. He was a 3 star. The story is that Burrow was not given a special no hit jersey during the spring game and got his ass kicked with the third team and said "fuck this, I'm out of here." The rest was history. How'd that work out for OSU?

Was hoping for a nice leap, but it appears baby steps is more realistic. Not good enough up front on either side, too many self-inflicted mistakes. Too much predicability in play-calling. Looking at you, two RB screen passes in a row from the 6 Luke Getsy.

The Illini don’t get rewarded for being terrible, which is the entire point.
Losing on purpose actively undermines the integrity of the leagues that promulgate it. It makes for a bunch of shitty games where one team isn’t even trying to win. It’s a bunch of bull shit that undermines the spirit of competition. Even the loser NFL and NBA franchises print money. I’m totally disenchanted.

I never expected Poles to come in and be error free. Every GM makes mistakes. The Niners gave up 3 1sts and a 3rd fo draft Trey Lance. And they are the best team in football right now. It’s how you respond to and fix those errors that’s as important as anything else.
Bryce Young “has an ankle?” I’m guessing you’re saying he’s hurt?

Parkins and Spiegel just had former director of player personnel for the Bears Josh Lucas on. It was fucking fascinating. I missed some of it, so need to go back and re-listen. Talked about drafting Mitch, Justin. Not drafting Mahomes, Watson etc. incredibly interesting stuff. Definitely recommend you go back and listen.

Something interesting he said was that neither Mitch nor Justin had enough college starts. Says those reps are “invaluable.”
Was fascinating listening to him talk about the organizational thought behind drafting Mitch. Said Mahomes was their 2nd choice. Really interesting radio.

Apparently. Coaching still wasn’t the reason the Bears were bad last year.
Well, the talent is just as bad this year, if not worse. So, why is it coaching now?
They chose to dump the talent they had last year to tank. They have not adequately replaced what they gave up. Those free agent backers suck. And we still have zero pass rush.
I think the coaches suck too. But they also sucked last year. The “tank” masked a lot of shit.
This whole Bears thing is dogshit. Period.

I wouldn’t say the talent is just as bad. They have like 30+ new guys on the roster. This roster is not as good as we’d hoped, but injuries aren’t helping. They are missing arguably their two best OL (the entire left side), and yesterday were missing 4 of their top 5 players in the secondary.
This team is still in transition. It’s way too early to say the rebuild has failed, but it’s certainly having some difficulties integrating so many new/young players. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like this coaching staff is up to the task of righting the ship.
-
Truthfully, we’ll know a lot more about how good the rebuild is next year about this time. Unfortunately, it looks like there will be many more changes to come.
-
So in other words a revamp of the rebuild. Probably will have new coaches, good chance a new QB who is likely to be a rookie.
-
It’s almost like the organization is trash.
Lol
-
So what’s everyone’s position on Claypool?
I say invite him back to the building next week. Missing two games is pretty severe. You gave up a lot to get him. Little chance you’ll get anything for him. The season and coaching staff is pretty disastrous, anyway. If you weren’t so starved for talent I could see cutting him. We know he can play at a decent level. I’ll bet his agent hates him right now.
-
Lot o' excuses and wait until next year talk.

It situations such as these, i.e, Tim Beckman piloting a flaming dumpster fire down shit’s creek without a paddle, I tend to pin the blame at the very top.
Who hired Marc “offensive Lou Tepper” Trestman? John “camo retirement mode” Fox? Matt “BE YOU” Nagy? Drafted Mitch instead of Mahomes? Made the trade for Khalil Mack?
Who drafted Justin Fields, one of the least productive QBs in the league, and who hired the people who were supposed to develop him/protect him/catch his passes?
Who is ultimately in charge of a storied franchise that is setting records for all the wrong reasons? A franchise that has become a complete and utter joke to their century old “rivals?”

I was really hoping that Poles would flip Claypool for Mike Evans. I thought for sure Tampa would be looking to dump salary. Claypool and a 3rd or 4th might have gotten it done. I can’t imagine Tampa is going to re-sign Evans at his age. Not old, but they would be looking to rebuild I’d think.

That’s a lot of words from a guy who never wavered through a dozen years of Illini incompetence. Hell, a mostly lifetime of Illini incompetence.

Say trade the 1st pick for a haul of 3-4 future 1st rounders, use the 2nd pick on somebody on OL (Fashunau) or WR (MHJ) and draft a guy like McCarthy later in the draft…

Let’s hope Kevin Warren does it. I wasn’t a fan when he was B1G commissioner, but this is a step in the right direction if he fires their asses!

They’ve never had an outsider as President before. And Virginia is like 100 now. Bet she ain’t wanting to go out not having won a game in 365 days.
If they’re ever going to fire someone in season this would be it. I wonder if Flus takes Virginia to mass 3-4 times a week like Ryan Pace did…

I didn't lock the Bear thread.
While Fields has looked good in 5 of the last 8 quarters, I would not let my head out over my skis. Competent teams are simply not going to let Moore run amuck.

Laurence Holmes made a good point just now; if Mooney doesn’t turn completely around on the early deep ball, good chance that’s a touchdown.

It will be interesting to see what he does in Miami.
If Fields plays the rest of this season like he has the past two games, I’m all for keeping him 🤷🏻♂️

The biggest question everyone has been asking about his team since the end of the draft is how much of his rebuilding project is done. Poles finally put a number on it at the end of August when he estimated he had checked 75%-80% of the boxes on his to-do list.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2023/10/9/23906945/chicago-bears-gm-ryan-poles-rebuild-roster-draft-salary-cap-space-2024-justin-fields-matt-eberflus
He hesitated before giving those figures, then added, “When the lights come on and we play a real game, the energy levels differ, the speed is different. We’ll be able to evaluate that as we go through the season.
“But ... on paper, I feel good about the progress, and I feel we took a chunk out of what we needed to.”
It’d be interesting to know what number Poles would put on it now that he has seen five weeks of mostly brutal performances by the Bears. They went into this extended break with a 40-20 win over the Commanders but were 0-4 and on a franchise-record 14-game losing streak before that.
Tempo, what is your percentage? I think it is at 34%
-
Couldn’t say. I need more than 5 games to determine.
-
Read an article about an hour ago that stated “Velus Jones is not an actual WR,” and was saddened to be reminded of this.
-
Article also said Tyler Scott has been slow to catch on, which is also true. I liked what I read and heard about Scott after the draft, but if he fails we might want someone else other than Poles scouting WRs. Pringle: whiff. Jones: whiff. Claypool: huge whiff. Scott: TBD.
-
Puka Nucua was drafted 44 some odd picks after Scott.
-
Couldn’t say. I need more than 5 games to determine.
Not 3 to 5 games?

Maybe more. A lot of 1st and 2nd year players that I don’t know are good/will be good yet. The FA signings are looking a little better the last couple of games, but a lot TBD.
Still have a lot of draft capital and FA money. Hopefully next years’ FA class is better. I honestly have not looked at that yet.

It’s pretty afucking amazing thet so many people can be told over and over that they literally didn’t put a product on the field that could be expected to win, yet criticize then for losing with a terrible roster.
Having said that, they should be better than 1-5 this season.

Dear Abby,
There's a hundred year old restaurant down the street that has had it's ups and downs over the years but the locals have always supported it.
New management was brought in recently and they got rid of the help that was any good but kept the flashy waitress and the less than adequate help. The product became the worst around and the worst in the 100 year history of the restaurant.
Fast forward to a lot of new employees and the product hasn't improved but management says they have plans to turn it around in another year or two with a lot of new employees. We're told to be patient and that the new help available in 2025 will get things turned around.
It seems as tho everyone wants the business to succeed but we have our doubts about the new management, their business model and their employee evaluations.
The employees are good hard-working people but the management business model of running the business into the ground with hopes that it will be better in a couple of years story has caused many of the locals to lose patience.
We have our doubts but we pack the place on most weekends and get yelled at by a guy who has fantasies about the flashy waitress who is good at running around the place but always fails to bring the dessert.
What should we do ?
-
Good one, Mn.

So Eberflus can put his record on his resume, with an asterisk that it was so shitty because there was a tank in progress.
I'm not sure that's how it works.

No, it doesn’t “work that way,” but a realist would understand they didn’t prioritize winning last year, in fact, they made it nearly impossible. Don Shula wasn’t winning with that group. It was a bottom 2-3 roster.

Yes, for very dumb analogies.

The Bears are officially 6 games into the rebuild and so far it’s not going great. ZOMG!
-
I mean, I’m disappointed, too. But it’s too early to start talking rebuild on the rebuild. They literally have 30 something new players many of them rookies and 2nd year players. About the only thing you clearly need to move on from at the moment are Flus and Getsy. They look to be busts. It happens.
-
And before PAMan inevitably comes diving into the pile with his “but Belichick praised Eberlose for his kulture” comment; there was definitely a different vibe last year even though they were losing. Last years’ team practiced hard, played hard, and they preached accountability. None of that seems to be there for some reason this year. Last years’ team also played disciplined.
They had 10 days to prepare for Minnesota and came out listless and unprepared. I don’t hear about hard practices anymore, and I don’t hear about accountability. Flus said they brought Patrick in at center because he was “more experienced.” Bullshit. They brought him in because Whitehair had the yips.

“As good as Roquan?” Perhaps not. But Edmunds and Edwards are good players. And they got rookie Gervon Dexter out of it. Who has shown potential. So basically they got three players for about the price of one. But then that’s a level of complexity im not sure you’re equipped to comprehend.

The problem is you actually think this is an impressive list....Greenie! Hysterical.
You forgot to include PFF. Which listed Stroud as the 10th best rookie, despite his being a statistical anomaly in the most important position in football, playing for a team that was as bad as the Bear last year, playing with a line just as bad as the Bear, playing with less weapons at WR than the Bear, and overcoming shitty coaching at OSU, yet having the Texans at 3-3.

Just heard another doctor on The Score (ZOMG The Score!), and it sounds like there is “likely” a 4-8 week timetable on Fields’ return, surgery or no surgery. Closer to 6-8 with surgery.

You put Justin on the Cowboys and I bet he’s better than Dak. With 70 less starts under his belt.

But that wasn't the case Sunday in the Bears' 31-26 meltdown loss to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. Sweat played just 39 snaps in the loss in Detroit. That's good for 63 percent of the Bears' total defensive snaps. Yannick Ngakoue paced all Bears edge rushers with 45 snaps, and DeMarcus Walker nearly equaled Sweat with 38.
Sweat was also off the field on several critical third-down and red-zone plays. After the game, the defensive end told reporters that he subbed himself out on a third and goal play that the Lions scored on.
For comparison, Lions star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson played 69 snaps Sunday, good for 92 percent of the Lions' defensive snaps.
That's what is required out of a star pass rusher. They should rarely come off the field.
***
After reviewing the film, Sweat was on the field for just 50 percent of the snaps in which the Lions either had a third down or were inside the red zone (9/18). The Bears' star edge rusher was on the field for the majority of the Lions' final two offensive drives that decided the game (12/17).
That 9/18 number on critical downs is a problem. There are some defensible reasons for that, depending on the length of the drive and the tempo of the offense, but the Bears need Sweat to be on the field more, especially on the money downs.
That's why he's here.

The Bears had a bye week to prep for 17 minutes of on the field defense.
3-5 more days and they may have gotten to a defensive game plan to get to the full 20 minutes that they needed.

After reviewing the film, Sweat was on the field for just 50 percent of the snaps in which the Lions either had a third down or were inside the red zone (9/18). The Bears' star edge rusher was on the field for the majority of the Lions' final two offensive drives that decided the game (12/17).
That 9/18 number on critical downs is a problem. There are some defensible reasons for that, depending on the length of the drive and the tempo of the offense, but the Bears need Sweat to be on the field more, especially on the money downs.
That's why he's here.
It’s because they are trying to tank. Poles doesn’t want to win now. He wants a higher draft pick. That’s why the best players aren’t playing as much and you’re seeing run plays when you should pass and kicking FG’s when you should go for it. It’s not that hard to figure out but they can’t be too blatant about it.

I think Poles always knew when he took the job that he wanted a 2-3 year rebuild. I would even suggest he wanted to be bad the first two years he was GM just for this very reason to clean house and get two-years worth of high draft picks. It’s actually a genius way to build a franchise back up IF you know what you’re doing. After those 2-3 years, you’re in a great financial situation and have tons of resources at your disposal. There’s no way we were looking at winning last year or this year. Next year and on will be very telling. Again, this was the plan all along…

Eberflus/Poles/Bears are not trying to win games, that's the first thing we need to understand. Hence why Edmunds or Sweat weren’t out there much. They know what they’re doing. It’s OBVIOUS!
-
It’s why Eberflus has a hard time in press conferences answering questions about that stuff because he can’t just come out and say they are tanking, so it sounds dumb. Come on, y’all aren’t this fucking dumb and neither are they…
-
Poles may have put Eberflus in the position of sacrificial lamb all along, but I don’t think they are trying to lose. And I definitely don’t think they are in on it together.

Of all people, Hub Arkush talked me into a more measured response over what’s going on with the Bears. Can’t remember the last time I thought Hub had an intelligent thing to say but he sold me.
Says the players lost the game (of course, but I think the coaches helped put them into position to lose the game). Says he won’t have an opinion on Flus and Getsy until the year is over. And says the Bears have “improved every week for 6-7 weeks, but aren’t where they need to be yet,” and I actually agree with that. I see the improvement, but I also see a team taking its lumps while “learning.”
-
Some really odd Montez Sweat stuff since Sunday, too. Only played 63% of the snaps. The Bears do rotate heavily, but that’s not enough. He should be above 75% at least. Flus said “that’s just how we do things (ok, well don’t do them that way), but PAMan also produced something that says Sweat took himself out of the game at one point?
It’s been hard to get clarity. PAMan mentioned he was maybe out of shape, but I don’t buy that. He’s been playing 45-50 snaps a game all season. I think it’s more likely he is playing hurt, or Flus is just a moron.

Albert Breer reports that Kevin Warren may clean house and bring in his own people (and get more involved on the football side). I’m not sure I need or want that in my life. I guess it depends on who he brings in and what this looks like I’m not sure Warren is qualified to play GM. Flus probably needs to go. Even though the wins aren’t coming yet, I do believe Poles is building this the right way. He’s building for a 10 year plan (like the Chiefs). He’s not selling out to win right away. This year has been disappointing, but I think they are on the correct path. Need a better HC.

Da Bears.
Kevin Warren wasn't around when Fields was drafted.
Ryan Poles. Ditto.
Matt Eberflus. Ditto.
Luke Getsy. Ditto.
If da Bears wait until the draft to make decisions on draft choices.....
If Getsy is gone, da Bears will pick an OC before they decide on a QB.
If Eberflus is also gone, da Bears will decide on a HC and a DC before they decide on a QB.
If Poles is gone, da Bears will decide on a GM, a HC and an OC before they decide on a QB.
da Bears will be deciding on the 2024 QB before their 1st coaching interview.
A bunch of unknowns will put their heads together to decide if the money in Fields' next contract, not the extension, is better spent on something other than Fields.
How Fields finishes this year will go a long way in determining what da Bears are able to tell any potential coaches who will undoubtedly be asking who the 2024 QB will be.
Where is Ghost of Royko to offer some contract insight ?
If Poles is still around and misses on Stroud and Williams or Maye his goose may be cooked. And I assume that thought has entered his mind.
-
“Missing on Stroud (or Williams or Maye)” isn’t what will bring Poles down. It’s wins and losses. Period. If he sticks with Fields and he’s not quite as good as a couple of the others, it won’t matter if Fields is “good enough” and the Bears are contenders.
I went down the list. Right now, Fields is objectively a top 18-20 QB which puts him close to average, and that’s if you grade harshly and give every other quarterback in his range the “edge.” And he hasn’t reached his ceiling yet. Field’s floor will be a top 12-15 quarterback. That’s his absolutel floor if he stays healthy.

Other than that I said "may be cooked", which should obviously depend on wins vs losses, you're now in the Fields is "close to average" as a QB ?
Carry on.

Carry on.
“Close to average” by the harshest measurement, and very likely to still get better. There’s no one on the list I can think of in that range that is likely to get better. Meaning, he can be at a minimum likely above average. That’s good enough to win games if you’ve got a good roster. And again, I think this is the bleakest outcome.
-

I’m not sure anyone has said that. They’ll for sure start counting next year if Poles is still here, which I’m expecting him to be.

The Bears’ expected win total was only 7.5 going into the season. Granted, I was very hopeful they would smash that, but I also wasn’t “expecting” it. I’m guessing you wouldn’t be happy if they were on a 7-8 win pace, either.
Early season injuries derailed what chance they had at a good season. And turns out the coaching probably isn’t up to par. As your guy Hub pointed out, they have “gotten better” the last 6-7 weeks, they just aren’t “there yet.”

First off, the PLAYERS aren’t playing to lose, you numbnut. Secondly, my losing at any sport growing up didn’t secure me a better draft pick. Thirdly, I also didn’t operate under a draft and salary cap restrictions. Fourthly, the coaches and GM didn’t so much “set out to lose (last year),” so much as not PRIORITIZE winning. There is a difference, but you’d have to have a measurable IQ to understand that.
Fifthly, Ryan Poles is operating under the restrictions of a PROFESSIONAL league. If you’re in a spot where your franchise is in a deep rut “tanking” can work as a LONG TERM strategy. It worked for the Chicago Cubs. Poles is not selling out to “win the next game.” He’s trying to build something that will be sustainable for a decade. But simpletons like you are unable to see past last week and the most recent game.

For one, that was BEFORE they acquired Sweat. Secondly, there’s always a “yeah but” with you. Always. Fields could lead the Bears to a Super Bowl and you’d be like “Yeah but he fumbled on that one drive so can’t give him credit for the win.”

Who’s “acting like they are the ‘85 Bears?” They are vastly improved the last few starts, and that’s undeniable.

Sweat is worth 17 points? Wow!

Who said that?
They lost 30-13. What difference was Sweat going to make in that game? It is not as if he is constantly being double teamed by opponents on pass blocking.
-
Just a reminder that Dobbs, a journeyman back-up missing one of the best receivers in the league, missed a wide open by a mile Jordan Addison for the win.

It was the Bear D that made him throw that ball out of bounds.

Lol the difference is the defense may have played better? No one said anything about him making up a 17 point difference. You extrapolated that on your own.

So, less than 17 point difference with Sweat?
Not hard to play better given how they played that night.
-
Since they played the Charger, they have faced the Saint (24 points allowed to that juggernaut offense), gave up 13 to the awesome Panther offense, somehow gave up 31 to the Lions who now suck (but still beat the Bear), and 10 to the Dobbs' led Viking. Ok. The D is coming around as long as they play really shitty QBs as opposed to just average to bad QBs! :o

Literally nothing satisfies you. I bet you’re still mad the Patriots scored 10 points against the Bears in the Super Bowl. You are totally unreasonable.
No one is saying the defense is the best in the league. It’s clearly been better, and getting better. “But but but the Charger…” You’re irrepressible.
-
They’ve produced 8 turnovers and played by and large really well on the road two weeks in a row, one against a Super Bowl contender, and another against one of the hotter teams in the league and you have to pooh pooh everything. You must be a real joy at the dinner table.

The point is the schedule. Yes, they look better, but shouldn't they look better playing the Saints, Panthers, and Vikings? Not like the Lions have looked good lately either.
-
The Vikings had won 5 of their last 6. Their last loss was by 1 on the road to a surging Broncos team. They beat the shit out of the 49ers and lost by 7 to the Chiefs. When will you learn this isn’t fucking college? Winning in the NFL is hard.

No thanks. If a guy has been passed on that many times, there’s probably a reason. We’ve done the Reid offense thing. I’ll take it if Andy comes with.
-

In today’s game that makes sense. Everyone said Cincinnati should draft a LT, Burrow wanted Chase, they gave him to him and the next two years were SB and AFC Championship game. Look what Hill does/did for KC and Miami. Brown for for Philly. When Deebo was out Purdy struggled.
-
When Williams was out Purdy struggled
-
When Williams was out Purdy struggled
Both can be true. I believe Purdy’s 3 bad games directly correlated with Deebo’s absence. Wasn’t even aware of Williams. It’s almost as if what you have around you matters.

It’s kind of like when Tom Brady was in the league, “he the best QB ever, or the GOAT,” yet there was Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers winning MVPs.

I’d bet posting rights on us getting Bieneimy. Either HC or OC for next year.
-
He was always out.
-
And that’s before I knew about this. He doesn’t fit the McCaskey profile in the least, and I can’t see Poles giving Harbaugh the type of control he’d demand.
-
True. I just totally forgot about the Warren ties from the B1G.
-
Ron Rivera is gone. If Washington doesn’t keep Bienemy that should tell you a lot. I don’t see him being here either.
-
Lastly, the Bears have never once paid big money for a coach, don’t see them starting now. Harbaugh is a perfect fit for the Raiders. Marc Davis would give him everything he wants.

And this is exactly why people say this organization is trash. The McCaskey profile hasn't won shit. Maybe a different profile is needed.
-
They have a personality preference they desire, which doesn’t impact competence. Lovie fit the profile and he was pretty competent. One could make the case he shouldn’t have been fired. If they want a certain personality profile fine; just hire a competent one.
-
And to be honest, I’m not sure that Eberflus isn’t competent. I know no one here wants to hear that, but if that defense keeps playing at a high level and they look solid down the stretch, there’s a good chance he’s coming back. Regardless of how bad his press conferences sometimes are.

And that’s exactly how/where you insert Beiniemy into that OC role…

Not exactly following. You’re saying they should hire Bieniemy as OC?
-
I’m guessing this is the year Bieniemy finally gets a HC gig, and my guess would be he stays where he is.
-
Not exactly following. You’re saying they should hire Bieniemy as OC?
I’m saying there’s probably a 90% chance he’s either our OC or HC next year. That is of course if Washington decides they don’t want him as HC after disposing of Rivera. I think Beiniemy in my opinion was Poles choice all along if he got to make it on his own. Obvious if they keep Flus, he’d be our OC. They can him, he has a shot as HC.
-
I’d say no, but the Poles connection is hard to overlook. They obviously know each other well. I could live with OC, I don’t want him as HC. There’s probably a reason he’s been passed on repeatedly, and we’ve done the Andy Reid offense/disciple thing. And you guys know me, I usually like the black guy.
-
Bieniemy is too busy getting Howell killed on a weekly basis to be the Bear HC or OC.

I have access to Bears tickets for Sunday. I can vaguely remember the day when I was like, fuck yeah, Bears game let's go. Now, I'm kinda wondering if it's worth fucking with getting up there, trying to park, fighting the crowd, dealing with the weather (High of 40 chance of rain, actually not bad for Chicago in December) and trying to get the fuck out of there and get home.
Totally on the fence. Which is kinda sad.

Yeah I’m not really sure what it all means. I get there’s “red flags” but he gets results.

I mean he’s not fucking abusing anybody that I’ve heard of. If you suck I think I appreciate that he’s making them work harder and longer. I get they wanna be doing something else and meeting are “running over time.” Isn’t that your profession though?! You suck, you get ahead by working harder and more time. Weird stance to be a “red flag” in my opinion.
-
He "got results" with Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, and Travis Kelce.
He gets "results" by throwing the shit out of and getting his quarterback sacked at a rate that would make Justin Fields blush. Howell's last three games have produced 1 TD to 5 Ints, perhaps the league is catching on to what they are doing. His quarterback's rating is like 6 points worse than Fields'.

Never heard all of that about him. Wonder if it's true.

He was definitley in a bar fight in college, suspended drivers license (always the tell! Lol), and definitely accused of assault
-
I haven’t even gotten as far as the sexual assault cover up yet.
-
The bar fight he was allegedly called the N word, I could definitely let that go. But it’s not like that’s all of it.
-
Sounds like he made some bad decisions, a long time ago. If that affects his ability to get jobs, so be it, I guess. Life has consequences.
Do I think any of that affects his ability to coach a bunch of felons in the NFL? Not really. But I guess it seems like some players don't care for him or whatever.
Anyway, aside from all that, I don't want to go back to the Andy Reid tree.

Actually, now that I think about it, I would take Doug Pederson in a heartbeat if he was available.

I think they didn’t mind giving up the 2nd rounder for Sweat because they knew they could recoup it by trading Fields if needed. OR trading down if needed. Gives them lots of options. I honestly have no idea either what they’re gonna do, but I do think they’ll get a QB.

Olin Kreutz said that if the Bears are looking at LT he’d try trading for a guy like Wirfs instead of going top 10 next year. Also said if he played a game in which someone didn’t want to fight him, he wasn’t playing hard enough 😂
Says he’d rather trade for a known commodity than gamble on top 10 LT
-
Gotta believe there’s a chance Poles has seen how the other top franchises have built their cores THEN gotten the quarterback. If he trades out of that pick he’s loaded to the gills with premium draft capital and cap space. Trade it to the right team and perhaps you’ve got a shot at the top pick in 3 straight drafts.

I did a chef's kiss at "insider" Peter King.
I legit don't know what to say about anyone who watched Fields play on Sunday and was like "he played well". I'd guess 50/50 Peter King did actually watch him though.
Like I said before, they are obviously looking for something very, very different than I am from my quarterback.

Chase Daniel thought he played well and did an A22 review. I would think Chase would know a thing or two about quarterback play.

Peter King is no Brad Biggs to be sure.

Yeah, a credible opinion

If you were wondering what the Illinois basketball coaching staff was thinking would you be more likely to trust Jay Bilas or Jeremy Werner?
It seems like the real determination of 'credility' to you is whether they agree with you.
I'll agree, all of these dudes - Peter King, JT O Sullivan, Chase Daniel - these guys are more credible football voices than me. But I don't think it's a coincidence that you latch onto the voices who agree with you and argue their "credibility" over and over, while mocking people who post voices who don't agree with you (even when, in any other situation, you'd obviously argue that the team beat writer probably has a better idea what the team is thinking than a national guy like King).
Like you mock Brad Biggs but surely he's more credible than you, right?
-
I think the writer was providing clickbait there. Peter king as far as I noticed didn’t seem to be trying to break news. It looked to me like he was giving an opinion.
-
I’m not sure Brad Biggs is more credible than me. I knew he was dumb as shit when he said the Bears were likely to draft Jalen Carter #1 because he wasn’t convinced there would be much interest in the top pick.
He blasted the “lose out crowd” last year with like 4 games to go. Because he thought they should be “learning how to win.” Any person with an iQ above 12 knew the roster would be dramatically different this year. He’s just not a very forward thinking journalist IMO. He’s an even more boring leather helmet take guy than Hub Arkush.

I’d offer Jaylon Johnson a 5-year, 95 million contract. Say take it or leave it. Going up 1 million (96 million) more is max and let him walk after that if he doesn’t accept.

This comment was made before I compared myself to Brad Biggs. Why? Because I didn’t buy into what he was saying whole cloth. And I gave a couple of examples of where he was fairly wildly wrong in the past.
-
I didn’t just blurt out that I was more credible than him. I was asked about it.
-
And then I gave a tongue in cheek response to point out that he’s been wrong before.

I was trying to see if you were so shameless and dug in that you couldn’t even acknowledge that the Bears’ beat writer is a more credible source than you about the Bears.
Asked and answered.
-

You made it pretty clear you thought you were just as credible as him since he was wrong about the draft.
If you wanna nudge nudge wink wink it and say “I was kidding!” now a week later that’s fine but like, I think we both know.
-
I was merely making the case he’s been wrong before, and I don’t think he was giving us inside info. If he had good inside info he’d have surely known they didn’t want Carter.
-
For those who downplay injuries, just look at how improved the Rams have been since getting Kyren Williams back. He’s made a huge difference.
-
I do not believe your opinion can be trusted. You predicted the Bear would win 10 games and were as wrong as Brad Biggs was about the draft.
-
Remember when the healthier Bear squad played a team with a USFL offensive line and safeties and was on its 4th QB for the season and the Bear still lost? I do. It was only last weekend.
-
lol @ safeties comment. As if the Browns defense was helpless. Fields put up better numbers (and would have been much better without drops) at Cleveland than the front runner for MVP, and Fields did it in wet and windy conditions. But “safeties”. Lol
-

Back to Kyren Williams. He’s made a huge difference for them (McVay even said so after the game), and he plays a position of “low value.”

LOL. The Brown D was not ravaged by injuries in October like they were last week, plus Purdy at least got the 49er into FG range with a chance to win the game. More evidence of how the FFFs are dishonest and disingenuous in order to protect a shitty QB. It would be laughable if it were not so pathetic.

This is nuts if true. This would make him higher paid than McVay, Shanahan, Tomlin, Harbaugh, and Andy Reid. $15 mil per would place him tied for 3rd with Pete Carroll.

Between Eberlose, Getsy, and Fields, there is always a good chance of losing even with double digit 4th quarter leads.
-
Oh look, a teams’ 2nd best receiver just made an explosive 80 yard play. I did not know that was allowed.

Singlehandedly won the Bears a lot of games in his prime. Hope he gets in!

Yeah it should be damn crime. Unbelievable actually they allowed this to happen.

I could see maybe keeping him out year one but he should’ve been in last year

1-6 versus playoff teams but Kool-Aid34 want to bring Eberlose and Fields back because their replacements might actually be worse....

What about record 2nd half of season? They aren’t “there” yet, but the team was significantly improved.
Also, tell me who you want to bring in.

As I told you as it was happening, those wins were a mirage. Yesterday showed that I was right.
Being AOTC is actually not difficult to do when talking about Poles, Everlose, Fields, and Getsy.
-
It's past 1:00 already. How the fuck are Eberlose and his clown coaching staff still employed? Oh right. The Bears are incompetent.

I know. It is pathetic. But hey, Poles apparently canceled his social media!
-
I’ve been doing some deep Madden research and it proves without a doubt that if the Bears sell their future completely to trade up from 9 and take both Williams and Harrison, MHJ will be ROY/OPOY and Williams will be MVP, and both will set the yardage and TD records at their position as rookies. Williams will definitely throw a lot of picks though because I am not that good at quickly reading defenses on All Madden.
Also if my research is accurate Marvin Harrison is white and Brock Bowers is black but that probably depends on which draft class they end up downloading.
-
Titans fired Vrabel who had 3 playoff appearances and 4 winning records in 6 seasons.
Bears are likely hanging on to a coach with a losing culture who blows 4th quarter leads.

Don’t worry, we’re in good hands!!!! 😂

13-21 last two, hadn’t won a playoff game in 5 years. Sometimes it’s just time for a new voice and an overhaul.
-
Fired Getsy and Janocko. Kept Eberflus.
Seems incredibly likely the Bears are in a similarly bad position a year from now with Eberflus. Can’t imagine some top OC is going to tie his star to a coach liable to be on the street a year from now, and no matter who the QB is you are either picking a top guy with a lame duck HC, or you’re saddling Fields with his third new system in four years.
This franchise fucking sucks.
-
Could have had a guy who won with Kaepernick but stuck with a suckass DC who blows double digit leads regularly
-
It's always great when your next season is already fucked before the last season is even done.
-
Maybe they could get Arthur Smith as their OC. He did fine with the Titans in that role. I don't know.
Should have fired the whole fucking lot IMO.
-
FWIW I would expect everything else to come out of this off-season to be bullshit until the pick or Fields is traded.
There’s about to be a ton of gamesmanship and smoke screen nonsense about what they’re going to do at QB to try to add value, but probably nothing really worth discussing until they actually make the move (if they’re smart; which they probably aren’t I guess)
-

Eberlose won't do that because Smith would be a candidate to replace him midseason next year.

Harbaugh was never coming here. I told you this.

Loser organization.

Unexciting, but justifiable move. Fields’ chances of staying just went up.
-

But a woman reported they were talking!

Excited for another year of the exact same arguments we’ve had the last two.
-

Correct. The Bears pretty much exclusively half ass things and make moves that are obviously bad when they make them, and then Pikachu-face when they don’t work out.
This is why they’re an extremely mediocre NFL franchise the last few decades.
-
This move tells me a few things (or things that IMO are at least likely).
1) Ryan Poles has had assurances from the higher ups that he is safe for at least a couple seasons.
2) Justin Fields’ chances of staying just improved. Fields is thought of more highly around the league than on HQ2 and Twitter.
3) Everyone thinks this means the Bears won’t get good OC candidates but I don’t think that’s true. As I said, Fields is more highly thought of around the league than he is by people on the Internet. Coaches are hired to be fired, they know this. They are nomads.
I think this job is plenty attractive enough because you have a defensive head coach and that makes the offense entirely yours. You’re about to get premium upgrades on offense, be they at QB or WR and probably on the OL. I don’t think you’ll have a problem finding good candidates, especially if you overpay a bit. Would be asinine if they didn’t overpay but it is the Bears so who knows.
Your floor for OC IMO would be Frank Reich, who would be a definite upgrade over Getsy.
-
The Bears make the wrong move. Again. This fucking franchise man...
Kevin Warren looking like Ted Philips 2.0. What do you expect from the man who fucked over the U of I basketball program a few years ago? He's taken his 'talents' to the pros now.

LOL. I am thinking he actually speaks with people who are in the league, as opposed to relying on Brad Spielberger, Esq. and knowledgeable football expert Maher Abu Arja on The Twitter. That being said, I am sure there are plenty of people in the league who use him to filter misinformation out to the public. But he was right on MVP Mitch and Fields.

Probably the least knowledgeable “Bears insider” around.

His take on the tank was idiotic. His take on the 1st pick (last year) was idiotic. And he got the Bears draft pick at #9 dead wrong (they didn’t WANT Jalen Carter!). Why should I value Brad Bigg’s opinions over anyone else?

I’ve never had Covid. That I know of.

I never once said that. Stop LYING. I just don’t know why Brad Biggs is more credible than anyone else when he’s been on the wrong side of most shit for a year and a half.
-
I have never once said that someone with a different opinion than mine is “not credible.” That is yours and PAMan’s schtick.
-
I can only say so many hundreds’ of times the opinion and case to move on from Fields are justifiable. Should I put it in my sig?
-
I have never once said that someone with a different opinion than mine is “not credible.” That is yours and PAMan’s schtick.
I’ve certainly never said anything even close to that. You’re the one who is consistently looking for some “credible” source to confirm your thoughts.
I haven’t done that once to my knowledge, except to make fun of you. My thoughts are formed from watching the guy play, not repeating the opinion of some former NFL backup or TV analyst.
You absolutely do consistently attack the credibility of the people who disagree with you, and tout the credibility of those who do agree with you though.
-

One of us has called the others’ opinions as “credible and justifiable.” The other referred to the opposing viewpoint as “insane.” You tell me which one of us is being more open-minded here.

Yep - I think it’s crazy to hold onto Fields and pass on the top rookie QBs. That’s my opinion I formed by watching Fields play 40 NFL games, and by his actual results on the field. I am not worried about which media figures agree or disagree with me. I just think it’s funny to watch you tout how credible anyone who agrees with you is, and shit on the credibility of anybody who doesn’t. It’s super transparent, and it makes me laugh.
If you want me to say “it’s justifiable to keep him” I will say it for you, but I don’t believe that really. I think, as I’ve said many times, it’s an obvious and easily foreseeable mistake - same with keeping Eberflus.
Like I guess I don’t know what you want from me here. Do you want me to tell you the truth? The truth is I think it’s crazy to keep Fields and absolute batshit to defend and make excuses for him to the degree you did this year.
-
Hey, that’s awesome. You have your opinion, and I said it’s a credible one and justifiable one. Now if you’d just let me have mine, that would be GREAT!
-
Have I said you’re not allowed to have your opinion or something? I’ve argued against your opinion obviously, but that’s a very different thing.
I don’t know why you’d need my approval on your opinion so bad in the first place. No offense I like you and everything, but I don’t really care whether you approve of my opinion about Justin Fields.

Bob Nightengale reporting today Arlington Heights one of 3 sites the Pale Hose interested in playing in a retractable domed stadium.
If the McCaskey were smart, they would team up with The Chairman. He knows how to get the politics done. The problem for them would be how much he would fleece them.
If The Chairman joins forces with the McCaskey, the Bear stadium gets done in Arlington Heights. If not, it does not, as he will suck all the state money for his stadium either at Soldier Field or next to the United Center.
Remember this when you read this:
