It doesn’t even take a good defense to beat the Bears. Arizona and Washington both proved that by blitzing. Waldron refuses to make any adjustments whatsoever.

He has no time to throw and his OC refuses to call anything but long developing go routes or use a TE. This is basically the Bears blueprint to ruining a QB and we’ve seen it before.

Next step is when we fire the coaching staff a year late and he has to learn an entirely new offense with bargain bin coaches, which I’m sure we’ll see happen in 4 months.

None of this is to say he’s been good the last two weeks. But when he did have time to throw and let plays develop he showed what he’s capable of against Jacksonville and Carolina.

Just look at Stroud. His offensive line has looked awful and so does he now.

He’s had multiple plays where he’s had time to throw. Yes he’s under pressure and Waldron sucks. He’s also missing guys left and right.

Getsy and Allen fired. Nut up, Poles/Warren/McCaskey.

Saints fired their coach. No reason Chicago can’t do the same, but they won’t.

Nothing will change until the old lady croaks and even then I doubt much changes.

Situations aren't comparable

Allen and Saints have now lost 7 straight games at time when ownership had them as a playoff team going into season (They were 9-8 last year)

They don’t need to be comparable for the Bears to realize it’s time to fire Flus. Not that it matters, we all know they’d never have the balls to do it in season anyway.

Need the Panthers to lose next week against the Giants. They along with 8 other teams are at 2 wins.

Rest of their schedule after that looks pretty difficult at a glance.

If they fail Caleb I’m probably just done with the NFL period. I don’t care enough to switch allegiances and don’t live close enough to any other team to hop on their wagon.

They have all the pieces to fix the roster, but I have little faith they actually will. Probably spend their first round pick on a linebacker or something monumentally stupid.
Same here even though I have 2 teams to choose from in LA. New ownership is needed, otherwise nothing will change.

His effort on routes is terrible. If the ball isn't going to him it is even worse.
It's a problem. On the 10+ second scramble that resulted in an OPI on Allen, Moore left the playing field and sat on the bench by the time Caleb threw the ball. During the play. I was wondering how no one got open, but I guess that's a hell of a lot easier when you're only covering 3 receivers.

Odunze is the Bears best receiver, and I don't think it's particularly close.

Wait, really? I didn’t notice that but did think it’s impossible nobody got open. Wow.


He is not the kind of guy I’d have expected to get paid and then float. At all.

Wouldn’t be upset if Moore got the same benching Stevenson did…. But at this point it doesn’t really matter given it seems half the team has quit anyway.

There was another play where it was painfully obvious that Moore just stopped his route and gave up on the play, resulting in an "overthrown" ball according to some here. If Moore continued his route, it's probably going for 6. He just pulled up and stood there in between 2 defenders, and the throw from Williams made it so damn obvious that he was NOT supposed to pull up and stop the route. Me and my neighbor were watching and both of us just looked at each other and said "Did Moore just quit on his route for no reason?"

He seems like he's pissy that Williams has loads of talented options, so he's not getting force-fed targets like he's used to.

He didn't even miss a snap. Give me a f***ing break with the he's hurt shit. This staff is so far gone and these players verbally let everyone know last week. Now they physically let everyone know this week. Going to the sidelines DURING a play? Are you KIDDING???

Didn’t miss a snap and caught a pass two plays later. Bench his ass.

did this FO even consider JD5? Caleb wasn't even better than Penix or Nix last year, maybe even Cam Ward, as far as his own conference goes
