It's almost like it is cool to be on Caleb's case, so guys pile on. Dude did what he needed to do last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would definitely fit the game wrecker moniker If they are somehow able to acquire a guy that can truly impact that side of the ball up front....team looks much different. They have shown they can generate takeaways, and have been doing it with NO pass rush to speak of. You start putting real pressure on the QB and things will look even better. I know the offense has been somewhat up and down but I think they will continue to improve. A real pass rush makes this team pretty good honestly, not a SB contender but someone I wouldn't want to play in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would pass on making a splash - keep the draft capital and wait for next year unless you think you get real value/long term difference maker. They are too far away to blow it all now.

kwolf Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Full stop, this was a game the Bears ALWAYS LOSE. Somehow last night they didn't. Crappy conditions, horrific officiating, team went into a lull midway through, need a kicker recently brought in from the refuse bin to bang in 4 kicks, including the game winner just shy of 40 yards in wind and rain. Bears do not win this game ever based on recent history. Maybe history is gonna change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are too far away to blow it all now. I can go either way, but think there is a difference in acquiring a one year rental vs. a guy that can be with you for 2-3 years. If it's the latter, I'm fine making that move now, and we've seen them attempt to do it before (Claypool, Sweat) Additionally, thus far the track record for Poles with OL/DL linemen has been absolute s%*#, so not sure how much confidence I have in the draft route. They need help BAD on the DL, and as soon as possible. The Broncos have 30 sacks on the year. The Bears have 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Really good story assessing where the Bears are quoting Johnson. Also talks about trying to get help at the deadline: https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2025/10/13/in-year-4-of-rebuild-bears-still-have-long-way-to-go-on-roster-as-they-try-to-tailor-it-to-coach-ben-johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted October 14 Author Share Posted October 14 One thing I will give to Poles is Darnell Wright is a hit. We are so much better running to his side, and it was obviously a struggle without him the week before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are so much better running to his side, and it was obviously a struggle without him the week before. Feel like there are more layers to this. As a stand alone, I think Darnell Wright is a pretty good player. On the flip side...you mentioned the "week before' referring to the Raiders game. In the first half, it was Braxton Jones as LT and Theo Benedet at RT. If I recall, around halftime, they swapped Braxton out, put Benedet at LT and put Ozzy in at RT, and things seemed to get a lot better. Poles also drafted Ozzy in the 2nd round of this year. And one of two things happened. 1. They quickly discovered he can't play LT which means you spent a second rounder on a guy that can only play RT, a position you filled with a Top 10 selection in the 2023 draft or 2. They quickly discovered he is just bad at NFL football, in which case it was just a terrible selection with a second round pick. Acquiring good talent in the draft is a positive. But the pieces you acquire have to somewhat function together, and Poles had made things really complicated with the tackle position and unless Ozzy can suddenly learn how to play LT at a high level, don't see how they walk away from that situation with a positive result.

caulfield12 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Maybe the craziest thing this season is the Bucs being #1 in some power ratings this week now minus McMillan Evans Godwin Egbuka and Bucky Irving. Also, guess CLE is where all QBs go to die. Finally, Glenn and McDaniel the next two to get fired. Raiders and Browns trending straight down after CLE blew their chances to beat MINN across the pond and then ineptly threw the ball 57 times against Pitt. Taylor in Cincy might not survive this year, either. Only safe for now jobs are Giants and Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
