Just another guy acquired on waivers from teams trying to be bad, but not THAT bad.

But it makes him look really clueless if they keep doing the same thing.

How can Eberflus look at these games and say the Bears are really close to breaking through? Granted, they probably don't win in KC if they played well, but they were pretty awful all around.

I agree. The Bears have lost 13 in a row and given up 25 points or more in each loss. No other team in league history did it 12 times in a row. The Flus is supposed to be a defensive genius. I know they stripped the team down last year, but I was told their back 7 were now as good as anyone's. They drafted a lineman in the 2nd round. They paid 10 million for a pass rusher. I get not expecting the defense to be totally staout, but it's horrible. This shouldn't be happening.

No pass rush and bad against the run isn't a good combination.

He’s bad when they don’t play to his strengths. Why not just try to go back to that? Maybe he gets hurt, but Aaron Rodgers got hurt hanging out in the pocket. Not calling designed runs and rollouts is like drafting Michael Jordan and having him hang at the 3 point line. Maybe it doesn’t work long term. Maybe it works well enough to buy time working on pocket skills. He occassionally throws great balls. I was at the Washington game last year. He threw a beautiful pass for 6, an d was pretty horrid the rest of the game. My friend and I were telling each other, he’d probably make a great receiver. Then they changed up the offense a bit, and most, except those that would rather be right than the Bears be good, got pretty excited. He does have supposedly better weapons this year, but do you ever see them actually open?

“It’s a fun time,” said Poles. “We’re getting better, we’re taking that next step which, obviously, should be to more wins. He told The Athletic he expected the Bears to win the North.

So did the GM “(We’re) excited, really excited,” Poles said. “You can see the difference from year one to year two. Guys are starting to understand concepts and schemes and are playing faster. Young guys know what they’re supposed to be doing.” “And then the additions that we’ve made? You can see those guys making plays on a daily basis, both on the offensive side and defensive side,” said Poles. One problem is, it's a lot easier to make plays against the Bears defense and the Bears offense than other teams. And that is what he was looking at.

I get that, but he was the guy thinking he had a potential playoff team. If he thinks he has a potential playoff team and they go 3-14 or worse, it's a sign he has no clue. With all the money he was given to spend, it's not like any of the guys he spent it on look worth it yet.

Poles thought this roster could compete for a division crown. If he really believed that, he has to fire the flus. If they go one to have a top 2 or 3 pick in the draft that didn't come from Carolina, the Bears have to fire Poles. No progress is unacceptable.

The Bears continue to expand on their NFL record. Now 13 losses in a row giving up at least 25 points. No one had 12 until the Beloved. Eberflus a defensive coach, and Poles spent some cash on the defense. They are awful. The faster they realize the dopes they hired aren't the right guys, the better. So I'm thinking 2026.

He sounds like Pedro Grifol in April and May.

He holds the ball too long, but another problem is, the "skilled" receivers are having a hard time separating from their defenders. I watched a postgame show where they were breaking some stuff down. It showed one play were he scrambled for 17 yards, after the OL did a nice job blocking for him initially, but all the receivers are covered like a glove. Very rare the Bears actually have someone open, very unlike what we see on the other side of the ball. But his strength never was passing from the pocket. Why don't they try something else?

Matt Nagy made the Bears look silly today.

One designed run, the receiving corps seemed improved, but they hardly ever get separation.

I could have improved the offensive line from last year, and as I stated, I am an idiot. He seems to think this is all on Fields. Some of it is, but they don’t want to play to his strengths. If the drafted him to be a pocket passer, and I know the current regime didn’t draft him, they are bigger idiots than me. What excited people about Fields was when they started using his strengths. That stopped. So did any Bears hope.

You can pack Poles in the car with them. Note to George McCaskey, stay away from anyone named Matt or Ryan.

I thought the Sox and Bears would both be pretty decent this year. I am an idiot.

Why do you bunt a guy to 2nd for Korey Lee?

I read whee Yoelqui reallyn struggled when they used the pre-tacked balls in AA. He was a bit better when they dumped them. Still, not a prospect.

If it was health related, they probably would have had some thoughts and prayers as well. Crickets.

It also could be a family member or someone living at his house was doing something henious. The entire thing is weird.

And the Bears scrubbed him off their website very quickly.

Why? His OBP will be a solid .275 next year in all likelihood.

Rick and Kenny really put together a championship roster, with top notch managing and coaching. Hard to believe they aren't at the top of the list for any current and future openings.
