Not only did Poles take a position of no need with his first rounder, he didn’t even take the consensus top TE in the draft.  What a loser…

The Loveland pick was always a WTF type pick. He's clearly not a Bowers type prospect. 

Can't really blame Caleb for this one. One thing I did notice was that the offensive line was pretty good in the first half but was awful in the 2nd. Tackles constantly got beat. Caleb was also taking a bit longer on some throws in the 2nd half. Seems like the opponents actually adjust at half and we don't. Both 2nd halves have been disastrous so far. I think the terrible call before half kind of deflated the defense, but that doesn't excuse giving up 52.

It just looked like the team gave up

I expected them to get whooped and they did. Poles is the one who will end up on hot seat if the talent looks sub par.

He just signed a 3-year extension through the 2029 season.  The McCaskey’s love him apparently.  Why?  I have no idea.

Not sure why either - I haven’t been a big Poles fan for a while. But I do get with the new coach why they did it.  I also expect they will be 1-3 or even 0-4 leading into bye. They better start to turn things around after that. Lions are just too good and Bears made way too many mistakes. Between penalties, inability to execute on 4th and short, the turnovers, they just aren’t there to be able to win a barn burner. 

Nice bounceback game by Nix today....but our D is getting shredded and that was before Surtain got hurt.

Offense carrying us so far....opposite of last week. 

Mahomes is going to get killed if he doesn't get any help at WR.

Who would have Daniel Jones and Russell Wilson-led offenses putting up these crazy numbers?

 

Big picture,  the Bears are in a horrible division to make the playoffs out of, and these first two weeks have shown why.  GB is a Super Bowl threat while Minny and Detroit are probably playoff teams.  The Bears feel "better", but there was always a gap between them and the other 3.

I feel this, only Bears.

Embarrassing.  What a well deserved extension he received.  Amazing.

Sigh.....well we didn't deserve it anyway. Still dumb to take that penalty.

At least we will beat CIN in a couple weeks because Burrow will be out several weeks. We will get killed by the Chargers next week tho

Tough way to lose

Chiefs losing makes it easier.

Colts deserved to lose that with whatever they were trying to do prior to the FG attempt. Running it 5 times in a row into a heavy box instead of trying to get the 10 yards you need. They played so scared and deserved to lose for that. They got bailed out by a soft call. 

Since 2020 the Bears are now 5-27 vs. NFC North.

It's the McCaskey family they have no idea how to run a football team.

But hey, a new stadium will solve all our problems! 🤡

Dude, we get it. You don't have to respond to every post with the same thing

Our defense is just really bad. JJ not exactly looking very good against a mediocre Falcons defense.

There were a couple of us who were the biggest advocates on trading that #1 pick instead of taking Caleb because the Bears still had way too many holes on their team. With that being said, I don't know if Poles would've made the right selections anyways with those picks.

I understand why people wanted Williams over Fields, but man I wasn’t feeling a quarterback change with the holes they had at other positions, particularly offensive tackle. I would have loved them trading the pick. Williams was the number one pick so he has to play like it. He can’t just run out of the pocket and has to throw towards the middle of the field. Be a damn gunslinger instead of a backyard athlete.

Will the OL allow for that?
