OT: Bears & NFL Talk 100

[HeisenBaez]

Maybe Chicago does not need a pro football team.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Look who lead the way on that block... Quentin Nelson.

That's what a real o-lineman looks like.

Waldron would've had Carter in that position.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Waldron should have to walk home from Indianapolis.

Poles should be walking alongside him

Hell, everyone but Odunze should be forced to walk home

 

[Backyard Hockey]

This is not hyperbole. Flus and Poles really need to think about replacing Waldron asap. They are risking their jobs if they don’t

 

[hawksrule]

This is a 6-10 team.

We should trade the Bears for Cards

Right a wrong for South Siders/South Suburbanites who had our beloved team stolen

They hired him

They should be out if he is out

 

[Pez68]

This is a 6-10 team.

Which is pathetic given their defense. Waldron was a terrible hire. Flus should have been fired after last season. Poor coaching, as usual.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

84 offensive plays. 16 points. 2.3ypc

Mannelly lighting up Waldron right now

 

[Bounces R Way]

this team really needs to learn how to walk and chew gum at the same time
I actually do think there were some good things to take from this game. The coaching was not one of them. Waldron needs to stop with these pitches and screens. You have Moore, Rome, and Kmet, throws near the markers are actually working.

Liked Sweat again, he's been a great pickup. Swift tho, other than that one drive woof ugly

Caleb was pretty good today. Threw some absolute darts into tight windows on those 4th quarter TD drives. The strip sack was a killer but that's really tough to pin on the QB. The second INT was putting the ball in harm's way needlessly but the first was a very understandable rookie mistake. Plenty to build on

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

I just want to point out- Man's man Justin Fields is 3-0 and doesn't have the weapons Bustleb Williams has.

The "super bowl contender " the Bears got throttled by last week got slapped around by the Vikings.

I was right about Justin Fields. They never should have drafted a bust when they already had a real QB.

Not really. Lot of stat padding. The two picks were real bad. I feel a little better about him than I did after the first half, but he was miles away from pretty good.

Overall, very frustrating to lose to a worse team.

I know we aren't used to a Bears QB throwing for 300+ yards but what we saw today isn't stat padding, that's just what the NFL is and has been for the last 15 years.

Hail Mary before the half was stat padding. Colts weren’t playing serious d on his second td, which was his best drive of the day. He wasn’t terrible, but far from pretty good. Still a ton of overthrows, picks, miscommunications, and often a general lack of awareness when plays break down.

Especially considering Fields only had 1 300+ yard passing game in his career and it came his 3rd year lol. Caleb did it in week 3 and the game wasn't a blow out.

Swift dropped a screen. We ran option on 4th and 1 after a good drive. Rome stopped his route on an inside breaking one that looked like they miscommunicated.. The throw into double coverage was a good throw (eh decision) and it was dropped and unlucky for the guy to pick. The first pick was bad. The fumble I’d like to not see but also don’t like our very good blocking TE getting blown past or being asked to block 1 on 1.

The Hail Mary was like 40 something yards. The colts playing soft zone doesn’t mean they’re just allowing a free TD. I feel like play calling and coaching were 1 and 2 of the problems and yeah he made mistakes, but I thought he also improved again from week 2-week 3.

Yeah he's far from the only thing wrong, but he hasn't been good - 3 turnovers isn't good and the offense has regressed from last year it seems.

All summer we heard how the Bears offense would be terrific, would do this, do that - every throw he made in the preseason was oohed and ahhed over.

But the results so far speak for themselves. And this is the easy part of the schedule too.

Despite the rookie mistakes, Caleb made strides, imo. So it's not a total loss.

Keys to this loss

- terrible playcalling on 4 downs on the goal line
- terrible TO management
- terrible personnel usage
- a terrible ST penalty

3 of those on the coaches.

I do agree with you here. Especially at RB. I think it’s pressure from above.
