They are both supremely talented and I believe could be Super Bowl winning and with the right pieces around them and coaching, but were failed by a terrible organization with bad front offices, coaching and a lack of offensive talent. And don’t forget an idiotic fanbase who placed all the failings at their feet when their talent is apparent.

It’s fairly common to see comments that suggest Getsy’s scheme is bad, but no one ever explains why it’s bad. People also mention we throw too many screens without explaining what we should run instead. What makes the scheme bad? We had the best running game in the league last year. Surely something is good?

What do we think happens with him this offseason? I went into the year thinking he was a solid WR2 but he looks like more of a WR3.

Do you think Poles retains him? Whats a fair price?

I don’t know how any of this will shake out over the next month or so in regards to the scandal… but… if this opens the door for Harbaugh to leave Michigan and return back to the NFL, the Bears need to open the checkbook and ask him for a number.

Look at the postgame of the Michigan-Penn State match up. These coaches and players are choking up on the verge of tears just talking about him, they love the man. This Michigan team would run through multiple brick walls for him.

The Bears have looked completely lifeless all season when they’re not eking out wins against the other worst team in the league. Eberflus can talk about HITS to the press til he’s blue in the face but nobody in the locker room seems bought into anything about this coaching regime.

Harbaugh is the type of coach to set a direction for a rudderless ship. If it were any other big name college coach I’d be more wary but he’s been to the Super Bowl, he’s no stranger to the league.

Even today we still call him “Coach Ditka”. A lifetime Bear. In 40 years we could still be talking about another Bear as “Coach Harbaugh”.

I know everyone talks about the B. Johnson on the lions, but there’s another one we should be talking about and that’s Eagles OC Brian Johnson. Why?

  1. He’s shown he can develop a QB. He’s been Jalen Hurst’s QB coach since 2020. On top of that he was Kyle Trask’s OC and QB coach the year he finished 4th as a Heisman Trophy finalist.

  2. Like Ben Johnson, he has play calling experience.

  3. He has the highest scoring offense by any team in the NFL who’s head coach doesn’t call plays, good for second highest scoring offense overall behind only Miami.

  4. He has the 2nd best yardage of any offense in the NFL not called by their head coach, trailing only Ben Johnson. This is good for the 3rd highest yardage offense overall in the NFL, trailing the aforementioned Lions and of course the Dolphins.

  5. Coming from the Eagles, he’ll have some great connections to build the staff on defense. An example of how this will be useful is the Texans; they hired a great defensive guy from the 49ers in Demeco Ryans, who also brought over a great OC with him from the 49ers. Having connections like this is an underrated part of a HC hire and Ben Johnson will have them.

IMO, hiring Brian Johnson should be a top priority for the Bears. Let me know your thoughts.

Hey everyone,

So, I've been wondering about what the Bears could potentially do to solve their issue at QB. While I don't think Justin Fields is horrible, I don't see him as a long-term starter in the NFL either. At least not in a traditional NFL offense, maybe more in the role of a Taysom Hill.

If we do get the first or second overall pick in the 2024 draft, I think we will most definitely select one of Caleb Williams or Drake Maye. Let's say we dont, Carolina wins 3 or 4 games, we do too and we end up with picks #4 and #10 or something similar. We should probably target Marvin Harrison Jr. with our first pick, but could the second be used on a QB like Michael Penix Jr.? He's having a fantastic season, one of the frontrunners for the Heisman, he's accurate, has an NFL arm and could probably be molded into a solid pocket passer in most NFL schemes. The injuries are a concern, so I wouldn't draft him SUPER high, but what's your opinion on it? Or would you prefer any of the other QBs besides Williams or Maye?

Here's a question:

Do you want the Bears to go 4-3 the remainder of the year taking 1 of 2 from the Lions thus showing tangible improvement? The danger is Flus comes back

- or -

Go 1-6 the rest of the year and have a new coaching staff with potentially Poles gone?

Pretty sure the majority pick the latter.

I saw that one play in the first quarter where he basically stepped aside so Bryce could get another couple yards. Don’t recall seeing 33 involved in another play rest of the game. Am I blind, or did they sit him?

If the Bears scratch out just one more win, we get to celebrate officially having a small margin of success in the offseason (or cry since it looks like another tank season and winning hurts the draft position)

You could argue they are number 2 behind San Francisco but that's good company to be with.

Barely squeaking out a victory against the worst team in the NFL then Steve Buscemi I mean Eberflus with a shit eating grin after the game like he had just won the Super Bowl complementing Getsy who had just produced a pop poo platter game plan. We are going to get embarrassed by the Lions in the 10 days. Smdh.

Instantly I know I’ll get the crew who is already done with fields knocking me for this take.

But for the rest of us who still feel like maybe.. Fields still could be the guy…

OL is playing well, defense playing well and instantly improved by Sweat. Moore is still the best player on the team, Kmet, Mooney, Foreman, Herbert coming back, great opportunity for Fields to show if he can be the guy we thought he could (and show consistency) before the franchise moves on.

Admittedly I’ve been very reluctant to give up on fields, I just see so much potential fucked up by (imo) coaching and play calling. But I will move on if he gets to prove me wrong through the rest of the season… or he can prove me right and we can ball out on other positional needs and make our run!

I just want success for Da Bears, Bear Down
