Good coaches put their players in position to succeed. A WR screen on 2nd and 6 with the game on the line is not gonna do it. Put your QB in must throw position 3rd and 10 where D can drop into coverage. JF1 can’t fumble (obviously) but he should never have been in that situation.

Goff? Watson?
I thought the team and Eberflus improved after the Denver collapse and he’d be back with Fields for year 3. But, after the Detroit collapse, I am convinced they all have to go. I think they retain Poles. They try to trade Fields. They draft a QB and MHJ in 1st round. DLine, OLine, Secondary with remaining picks. And rebuild continues with upgraded coaching staff. I don’t think Kevin Warren will allow Poles to run it back or stick a new HC with Fields. Shit, Warren may even convince them to fire Poles at this point.
Hearting about a guy named The Fridge.
Imagine these unis at home and the crowd goes white out too!
Adapt to the players you have. Eberflus has shown progression and adaptability on the defensive side of the ball. Getsy has shown he is reluctant to make permanent changes to his scheme to fit one of the most talented QBs this franchise has ever seen. Barring an sudden change of heart from Getsy, I’d stay the course with Wberflus and find a new OC. ESPECIALLY if the plan is to draft a QB, you cannot proceed with Getsy.
What is going to happen if Bears go 1-2 in the draft with Caleb and MHJ…but Caleb is a bust and Maye was the right choice? That would be 3 first rd QBs in a row that Chicago has gotten wrong. On the other hand, what if they go 1-2 with Caleb and MHJ and the entire trajectory of this franchise is forever changed!
I downvote all Caleb posts automatically. It’s ridiculous to be banging our heads against the wall of the draft since day 1 of the season.
…and he fired Getsy? No? Damnit.
I have no doubts about the Bears being 2-2 WITH Fields if he had been healthy the last 4 weeks. That argument is trash. Bagent did great backup work for the Bears. He answered a LOT of questions about his ability and the staff’s trust therein. That being said, Fields needs to pick up where he left off and not hinder the progress being made. If they lose, it needs to be in spite of his play, not because of it.
No. I don’t know many teams he can go to where they’d cater to his style of play. If he doesn’t improve in Chicago he’ll show the league he’s incapable of adapting to the NFL.
I love the Bears. I have for a very long time. But, I absolutely hate that they won that steaming pile of shit game. They deserved to lose that game. They handed it to the Vikings at every turn and the Vikings refused to take the W.
