Don't fire Eberflus mid season. He is a great coach for a tanking team. Fire him at the end of the season.
Chicago Bears
Bagent has won us 2 out of our 10 games this season. Say what you will about the opposition but he is a solid back-up. Looking forward to Fields in 10 days but he has to step up.
Carolina, you just got tbagged.
That was an ugly win but at least it was a win.
Tied our win total from last year, which is great. That being said, the Bagent era has been interesting but I'm ready to see Fields again.
Just like with Bryce Young, Bagent could develop into a pretty good QB one day. He's a rookie, these things can take time. But unlike Bryce Young, I'm glad we didn't bet our franchise on him being the QB of the future lol
I’m terrified that all it’s gonna take for Flus to keep his job is just win one more game. He can technically sell this season as “progress” over a literal tank attempt last year.
That was one terrible game.
Bryce Young seems like a Trubisky/Nagy or Fields/Eberflus situation. Guy doesn't seem to have the fire in him. Maybe he'll get better down the road though.
Offensively Panthers had just 6 points. Our D looked strong with all starters operating in the secondary.
Except for eddie. Always
No shout outs to former Bear Eddie Pineiro for missing that kick by about 3 yards. Was I the only one thinking he didn't have the leg?
Bagent has been phenomenal for the position he's been put in. Hats off.
That being said, the dude just needs more time. Jumping 3 levels of football is insane. He's seemingly got a great view of the field, but the arm strength needs work
Guys I think our head coach is drunk tonight lmao
Imagine if we took Bryce Young. We dodged a bullet
Thursday night games have been good to the Bears this season.
Panthers post game thread dooming: they’re just like us!
What an ugly win. It was so boring and uninspiring that I fell asleep and missed the entire 4th quarter
I know we spent our money elsewhere, but I'm constantly impressed with Sanborn.
Sanborn is the equivalent of a quadruple A player in baseball.
Bears didn’t win. The Panthers lost.
A quality QB would have picked that defense to shreds.
6:10 Bears are punting, one of my buddies gets up to grab us some beers. ‘You might want to wait’ I say, ‘this return is going for a touchdown.’ They made me be quiet for the rest of the game.
Glad the Bears won a game they really needed, but it doesn’t absolve them from being so bad they couldn’t run a kneel down without a false start.
2-2 from bagent is awesome. He had ups and downs, but his ceiling is higher than I originally thought. That being said, it's time for the kid to go back to developing behind the scenes. Justin needs to take the reigns and let it rip the rest of the season. Bear down
Hey, Do you guys think fields will be in Tim Horton commercials when he’s on the Calgary stampeders next year?
Sweat and the defense looked good, Bagent did good enough and did his job, Fields should be back next week, and the draft pick is better! Good win, bear down! 🐻⬇️
Guys I'm really liking Bagent
I just realized that a undrafted qb beat the first overall pick in the draft and their stats were almost exactly the same lmao that’s gotta hurt the panthers
UDFA div 2 back up QB came in and beat the #1 pick. They gave us DJ moore and a haul of picks to claim him. cant ask for more. kid was 4th on the depth in camp.
Ugly game, ugly win.
Enjoy the W because its probs the last of the year until everyone gets fired in the off season.
Commies fan here with nothing to add but a question: did sweat play today? I see his stats listed as 0/0 but I’m not sure if y’all have him sitting out a bit or what lol
Why does that not feel like a win?
So I realized that there are a separate group of fans among us that are just fields fans and don’t actually care what the bears do
The bears lose this game with VJJ active, I know it.
Someone go check on the panthers forum. They might be on watch
Some of you sound like you want the Bears to be bad. We get the Panthers are also trash like us. Can you just be happy we got the dub for once? It helped us, and we know that Bagent isn’t our future QB, so there is no reason to be anything but excited we won. Idc if the Bears looked bad too.
Bagent is turning into a coach killer. First McDaniels and now maybe the Panthers coach.
If Mccaskey had any balls he'd fire Poles and Eberflus and bring in Belichick or Harbaugh and give them total control of football decisions
What were the special plays on offense in the second half that Eberflus was spouting off about after halftime? Al Michaels was genuinely excited by it. I didn't see anything besides boring shit that thankfully didn't turn the ball over.
Not a flashy stat line for Bagent but 0 turnovers and made some plays when he needed to. Also we probably lose that game or go into OT if he didn’t lead us on that FG drive from our own 9 to close out the half. If that’s the last we’ve seen of Bagent for the year I was impressed with him. Def not starting material but he’s got potential. Hope he sticks around on the bears in some fashion for a long time
All I can think of is how bad that trade was for Carolina.
We played possibly the worst team in the nfl without all their best players on defense and almost lost. Let’s not overreact. Fire the coaching staff.
Game manager QBs won’t get you anywhere in the modern NFL please stop praising Bagent for not turning the ball over as if he did something impressive tonight. They barely beat the worst team in the league. I do think he has potential as a backup but for the love of God let’s get Fields back out there and start putting up 30 points again and see how the team looks against better teams now that the defense is healthy and maybe picking up some steam
“Bagent can’t throw more than 10 yards! Why is Getsy’s play calling so conservative?! Is he stupid?!”
Getsy's offense is so depressing. Even when the plays are working, we move the ball at such a snail's pace that we never even get close to the red zone.
Y’all, I just read multiple takes that said we would have lost the game if Fields started and I just have one question for those people: How do you enjoy watching football when you don’t understand the game at all?
Serious.
We have not seen the last of Bagent on a NFL field, perhaps even in a Bears uniform. I think he’s here for the duration of his contract, I wouldn’t be so quick to dump a backup. Stability is good.
I am excited to have Justin back for this stretch against division rivals. This franchise needs a decisive answer on him by the end of the season, and we aren’t getting that with him on the sideline. These are going to be the three most important games of his life.
I love I literally can't stop laughing at everyone talking shit about how the Panthers 1st round QB got whooped tonight hahaha only we know how that feels.
My main takeaway from that game, especially after they showed the panthers owner in the box was that the panthers GM is so fired
If Justin Fields sucks when he comes back. Finish the season with Bagent.
