Bears players better have a leader or two who step up and clean this s%*# up…it won’t be Flus so I hope they have some leaders who step up when faced with this nonsense (vs wilt in adversity). But coming off the bye - Kmet has 2 targets…wtf is Waldron and the offensive staff doing. Did they watch the film of Waldrons first 2 games where he ignored Kmet and Bears struggled and go yeah let’s do more of that. Idiots.

Bears can’t get out of their own way. I think Caleb will overcome the Bears s%*#…but keeping Eberflus was stupid when they could have made a run at Harbaugh. Will be a new head coach but whatever..this basically sealed Flus fate but players still got to play and they better find a way to get 7-8 wins either way…but good thing is no chance Flus saves his job. Bears should have their pick of coaches though.

I meant games where they had 97% odds at one point and ended up winning...not the other way around.

His whole resume is solid. Maybe he stinks but he has worked in a lot of roles, put in his dues, and worked with some of the better managers in game and across multiple quality organizations.

Pumped up - perfect to league Nevin as smart pr so we expected worse and than they did good!

Bulls are a unique experience - Billy Donovan is designing an offense that is going to set all kinds of records for 3s jacked up. Zero defense but they can score on most nights…

I think that is 100% true. I think if they weren't on the wrong cycle and instead were hiring everyone from scratch Harbaugh would have been here with a new GM. But I wish Poles would have been like - this is a chance to form a partnership that can last 5-10 years and than we are on a glidepath for him to take the next successor and really have a long term path. More than anything though - I hope Flus shows us that his steady hand actually works (cause I do think he's pretty calm in the face of chaos - which there is value to over the course of a season and multiple years) cause I don't want to recycle it.

There is no possible way you fire Flus in the season barring like a scandal. He isn't awful - but he's also not great. If you had Kingsbury or something and you were convinced you had the greatest thing since sliced bread (not saying Kingsbury is that - he had his flaws as a HC with Arizona - but to his credit he's doing an excellent job with Washington) than I could buy it. But if you just canned Flus mid-season, what are you going to do, hire Waldron as the HC? Talk about spiraling out of control. Flus is bad out of byes - but he's also been pretty good at keeping his team focused following a loss. I still go back to - you had mediocre in-house and could have hired great (Harbaugh) and they passed.

I will state this - off a bye and to start the season this team under Flus is never ready. They better get back at it next two weeks cause if they don’t win the next two they are in trouble (this season). Hopefully we see Caleb bounce back with a big game.

Yeah - d played pretty damn good all game to keep them in it. I thought there was some holding in the Hail Mary but total luck. Best team won today but I give it to Caleb for playing pretty solid in 4th quarter despite an awful game.

He has no idea what to do - looks worse than he did in his first game of the season. The play calling and blocking isn’t helping but Caleb is playing awful. Hopefully he wakes up in 2nd half.

That spot was bad.

Really rough out of the bye. I hope that challenge doesn’t turn into a td for Washington. Come on Bears…let’s turn this around today - lots of football left but man Caleb looks very uncomfortable and inaccurate today.

Yeah would have been nice to get something right before cut down day but this is right move now.

Giddey isn't as quick as maybe I was expecting, but he's stronger than expected. Not going to jump to much in one game. I still think this team will be somewhat entertaining to watch offensively - but I know they will be awful defensively. In general though, I was pretty supportive of most of the moves the front office made. The real goal now is hopefully Zach and Lonzo and others play well and it drives up trade value to really hit a reset.

Turnover fest by the bulls.

Nothing would make me happier than Lonzo having a legit quality career post injury. One game but he looked legit good.

Hopefully a legit buyer shows up based upon this league and the mlb owners force JR to sell to that person and drive it home - a legit deep pocket buyer with real money. Or if this is a ploy as it seems to be (although I know some of the minority owners have pushed/suggested it’s time to sell) it’s so pathetic that I hope at some point MLB just steps in and auctions this thing out - stay in Chicago - highest bid wins.

Happy for Justin though. But man talk about a fun two weeks. Now the bye week and what should be a really good battle between two outstanding rookie qbs. Please let this be just the beginning of a super magical run with the Bears!!!

They had to make that move.

A year ago - maybe - but now - no way. Even a year ago would have probably been no - because O's wouldn't have traded him, even at Robert max value. Now here - Robert's value has came down more than Holliday's. Now I would be very happy if I was wrong about that and team(s) are going to bid up a bit here and there are more teams who are all in on Robert presuming he really is a stud and the Sox just wrecked him...fine by me...but not betting on that happening. Feels like Robert is a better hold - have new coaching staff work with him and hopefully we see him have a good 1st half of the year. If he plays really well - than move him. I've always said with Robert - his peak is really strong - so try and trade him when he's on one of those runs vs. not. Is it a risk sure - but it isn't like he's walking next year so I feel like it is worth accepting that risk.

Nice win! Caleb protected the football and made some big plays. That drive in 2nd half (ended up being ruined by the penalty) was beautiful. He was just dicing up the defense. Swift a second straight good game….penalties got in way during 2nd half though but great progress. 2 300 yard games in first 5 games of career and a very strong 1st half today (200 and 2Tds).

I assume he ends up on Angels. He lives in Orange County.

This would have been an amazing hire - but I see why he went to reds. I’m sure Sox never even tried anyway.
