fr I stopped even reading it. Way too negative
Have the bears been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention yet? That’s when we do our best work
No, this is the first week someone can be knocked out of the first seed. Everyone can still make it.
No, soonest is if everyone else keeps winning Bears lose is week 13 during bye due to catching up on games played to be even with the field.
Otherwise last I saw from a NYTs simulator if Bears go 5-2 (Ls being Browns and at Detroit) have a 25% chance to make the playoffs.
This bears team with 8 wins? 5 weeks ago 0-17 was still on the table. It’s a mad world.
Bears in the playoffs this year may hurt us emotionally more than this season already has...
unless we ride the hottest streak of all time, momentum from riding a wave changes the odds suddenly sometimes. I wouldn't bank on that though unless we find ourselves already somehow there
Nfc has like 1 or 2 elite qbs. Fields might be good but hes in year 3 already, so its hard to believe hes gonna become truly elite. If you are able to pick up an elite qb prospect in the draft (and he works out), bears will be perennial contenders in the conference
Nate Davis is coming back or about to … just heard Wannstedt say it would be better to leave Whitehair in at guard, Patrick at center and Jenkins at RG, rather than shuffling and booting Patrick from C and move Whitehair over. I agree. I think Davis hasn’t shown anything and isn’t worth ruining chemistry.
I'd expect Davis and Whitehair to rotate at guard this week, but from what I know about Chris Morgan he'll continue to use the Bears best offensive lineman as a whipping boy and rotate him with Davis while Whitehair will continue to play like shit.
You play the 5 best lineman. Davis is one of those
It’s crazy if somehow we pull out a win. We could be a 8-11 place NFC team.
Lot of people want to trade back with the first pick and I get that but if we’re after MHJ which I hope I’d rather take whatever we can get for 2. I just have a feeling if we trade to 3 someone might take MHJ over QB2.
But what could we get with our second first? Billings and Sweat are a good start but I still think we need an elite pass rusher. I wouldn’t want to trade out of the first but are there any trade candidates this offseason worth trading back for?
I’m surprised no one has suggested hiring Dorsey yet.
Why? Offenses need to be installed in the off-season, there's not enough time to teach and run his offense atm.
Because Dorsey also has to want to come To Chicago. I’m sure what Dorsey wants is to go form one turnover prone QB to another.
Shane Waldron is my 2nd favorite choice for HC after Ben Johnson should the Bears fire Eberflus. I think what he did with Geno Smith is impressive.
I would still prefer a proven commodity like Harbaugh, but after him I'd take either of those two.
Underperforming coaches being fired left and right in college and the NFL and we're still stuck with Eberflus and Getsy. FO needs to grow a pair sack these clowns yesterday.
Flus and company are just ramping up for the playoff push next year. They’re even stockpiling timeouts.
We don't have a viable on-staff option to replace them. This coaching staff is a clown car top-down.
Ken Dorsey for QB coach?
the remaining fanbase is now achieving levels of dumbass not previously thought possible
I hope Herbert is back this week. He's kind of a homerun hitter that has been needed.
I'm in a huge money survivor pool and will be picking the Jags instead of the Lions this week, probably to my own peril. I can't create a situation where I'm rooting against the bears and my delusional brain, even after all this time and so much evidence, believes we will somehow magically beat a vastly superior team because magic.
It pains me as well, but I don’t have the heart to start the Lions D/ST (even though I think they’ll do just fine lol). I hate going against the Bears. I’m lucky to have the Browns D/ST though, so I’m rolling with them
When I used to be a part of pickem/fantasy leagues I never had a problem picking against the Bears or starting players against the Bears, my thinking was if the Bears do well and win I'm happy, if they suck and lose at least I profited from it
We should snag the bills OC that just got canned
I’m sure he wants to go from one turnover prone QB to another.
Erik Kramer on the status of the Bears
Dude shares my opinion on a lot. He doesn't necessarily think Maye & Williams are above everyone else, so if they can find a guy they like in the late 1st or the 2nd, they should trade down and add as much talent as possible to the offense. He also said we've seen enough of Justin Fields and he needs to go.
The only reason to keep Fields is if you want to keep the rookie off the field.
Realistically Maye or Williams may not work out. But also Fields has not worked out. I have opinions but I’m not an expert on these things. Vegas however is. The points went from lions minus 10.5 with Bagent starting to lions minus 9 with fields starting. If the bears move on they will have a rookie contract at the qb position for more years allowing to add better players at other positions without being hamstrung by a large qb contract.
Fields probably throws 2 INTs this week.
Has Fields won a game in his first 3 years against a good team with a starting qb that wasn't a rookie or backup?
He beat a 10-7 Raiders team with Derek Carr in 2021. That's it. I guess the 49ers game last year technically counts? 49ers went 13-4 but Trey Lance made his 3rd career start that game. Also, a fucking hurricane helped the Bears win that game lol.
That’s not a great look
Join you jabronis r/bearswin
People are skeptical about Poles, but what he's done so far at the QB position is actually pretty good. Hopefully Bagent is more than just a dumb luck signing and instead a reflection of good scouting.
hot take alert! Getsy is good.
For people who live watching documentaries, there’s this amazing doc about Ben Simmons and NBA prospects by tooforwon. Don’t watch it, it will fill you with dread.
Let's assume all Chicago sports teams were cursed the night we booed Mitchell Trubisky at the Bulls game before his rookie season.
How would you break something like that?
Am I crazy or is Dobbs a better QB than anyone on our roster? He's a 4th round pick journeyman backup but passes the eye test better than Fields.
lol. This is like dropping a grenade in this sub.
It’s weird watching USC and UCLA play and realizing that is a B1G 10 matchup next year!
Former Bear Dust Dvorecheck is announcing.
Drake Maye throwing to Moore, Kmet and Bowers us gonna be fun to watch next year.
