Yeah I agree with you on the QB. I do think fields has the talent to be a good starter in this league but it won’t happen with the bears. For OC, I’m just hoping it’s an ambitious hire not some mediocre cheap guy like the bears are used to

When we played decent QBs, we got blown out. Getting diced up by GB should have shown us that whatever progress we thought was made was actually just incremental. A lot of talk shows are saying that we’re guaranteed a top 5 defense next season, but unless we got another edge and a good DC I don’t see us being elite, probably just top 15/10.

It’s the bears we have no clue what we’re doing. I do have hope in Poles, but the Flus decision definitely makes me doubt him a little.

What do you think we’ll do at OC and QB?

So our HC has had all of his coordinators fired for performance and conduct reasons, yet is able to stay on and hire another set of coordinators? Doesn’t make any sense to me

I can’t wait to experience that 0-16 season!

Yet the bears are keeping Eberflus?

I think it’s a combination of player development and organizational ineptitude. They don’t put players in positions to succeed and they don’t develop players. Until recently very few bear draft picks had gotten a second contract. If you can’t develop any position, why would you be able to develop a QB

Somehow the bears would play prevent and give up a 30+ yard completion consistently.

Also he would constantly play soft zone coverage giving up easy completions and not rushing enough when what had consistently worked is getting pressure on the QB. It’s infuriating

Yeah we barely beat the panthers. I think this is the right time to be ruthless. He’s done well in the locker room but he his simply not good enough, and with the options out there it’s time to move on even if it is unfair to him

And a lot of his other draft picks have been good

I think the GM should stay, he put them in position to have the number one pick this year with a somewhat decent and young roster.

He’s gotta go. 3 historic 4th quarter collapses and anytime we faced a competent team we were outclassed easily. I believe 3-4 of his wins this year came against coaches that have been fired already too

As a bears fan, i hope this happens.

This might be the year Tomlin has a losing season. The culture there is terrible

Hopefully this actually causes UEFA to reform, but I’m not hopeful. I’m not a fan of the ESL as I think it’ll be worse for smaller nations and teams to compete in elite competitions they deserve. That’s not to say UEFA does a good job at it either

Yeah this was the game we should have taken the next step and shown we’re not pretenders. I do think we were just coasting on a very good defense and some poor opposition. The offense hasn’t improved. What Flus has done with the defense is impressive, this team is still not executing enough, gets too many penalties, and some poor blocking/coverage assignment, and dubious critical game management. I don’t think he’s a good HC, and as you said is probably capped at a good to very good DC.

Another game we should have won. Defense was lights out until the fourth. Some of the coaching decisions on offense were absolutely awful. Fields played alright and the two big drops really hurt us.

United are playing with no urgency, absolutely shocking

We looked VERY good. Fields idt played the best especially in the first half but was pretty good to great in the second half. We have an outside chance to make the playoffs but I’m looking forward to racking up another couples wins

I agree with you. The inconsistencies also cause a lot of confusion and delay imo. To me at least, it hasn’t made the game worse to watch at all

I think it’s a common sentiment because of a distrust in the organizational structure of the Bears. No coach with potential would be able to grow and flourish here because of compounding issues they can’t control. This might be different now with Poles and Warren but it’s too early to tell. I do think we are making good strides with the new Halas Hall and investing in programs like analytics and advanced scouting.

Yeah I think Caleb Williams is hated on too much. He has flaws for sure, but he is supremely talented. I’d be excited at the prospect of him in a Bears uniform and I think with competent coaching he can be a superstar here. My only worry is the media pressure, there’s been times he just seems immature and can’t handle criticism and tough situations. He is still young though and if he can mature out of that I think he’s a superstar
