OT: Bears & NFL Talk 103

[Romang67]

Put Scott out there to blow the top off the defense.

 

[GIADF]

CW has taken a beating this drive.

 

[Romang67]

I don't think either of those balls toward the sideline in the end zone should go to Moore.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Not sure why DJ only went up with one hand

 

[GIADF]

Not sure why DJ only went up with one hand

Business decision, as they now say.

 

[Bounces R Way]

DJ going for style points

 

[GIADF]

Absolutely awful Daniels interception that might’ve lost them the game.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Daniels is amazing

 

[GIADF]

Eagles lololol

Daniels is amazing

He had a couple atrocious turnovers today.

Good game overall though.

 

[Scottkmlps]

That drop by Smith comes back to haunt them.

 

[GIADF]

That drop by Smith comes back to haunt them.

Yep, game should’ve been over with that catch. Takes them out of any shot at a bye, but beyond that probably no other impact in the long run.


Washington has a horseshoe up their ass this year.

These late games today are terrible. Afternoon slate wasn’t much better.

 

[Romang67]

OL is one thing. There has been little to no investment, and unsurprisingly it's not getting the job done. But Swift has had over 40 yards rushing once in the last 5 weeks. That's a big investment on an RB that they need to bite the bullet and upgrade from.

They need to buy a whole new run game in the off season. New coach, new OL, new RB.

 

[HeisenBaez]

I want Ben Johnson as HC but there is a part of me that would advice him to stay clear of this clustercrap of a franchise.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Caleb threw for 334, 2 TD, zero picks, only one sacks and had a 108 rating

Yet they only put up 17 points

That’s the Bears right there

 

[ClydeLee]

Shame two, 3 win teams blew it.

 

[ndgt10]

So hire a new HC with a lame duck GM for another year?

Seems obvious that Poles needs to be fired after this year.

 

[Behn Wilson]

but two fumbles by him and one by Rome

 

[Backyard Hockey]

but two fumbles by him and one by Rome

Was two by Rome. The handoff fumble was credited to him but that was on Rome

Take the emotion out of it. Imagine ANY NFL team. Imagine a 3 season spread. Imagine that team with back to back #1 overall picks with 3 top 10 picks and multiple early round picks. Imagine that team having some of the most available cap money. Now imagine that team having a 14 game losing streak and then a 9 game losing streak wn route to an 11 game losing steak

A 14 game losing streak and an 11 game losing streak within a 50 game span.

No GM of any NFL team in today’s ’win now’ era would keep their job after that

Then you at some terrible draft decisions and signings like Edmunds, Davis, etc. And big contracts to two guys who mailed it in (DJ, Sweat). And of course the Claypool trade.

There is zero justification for him keeping his job

Clean house and start with a new slate

 

[Behn Wilson]

agreed

 

[Sarava]

I was a big fan of Poles for a while. But you gotta move on from him. He created this debacle of an o-line and I don't trust him to fix it.

Oh and not sure if anyone mentioned this, but the Bears clinched no worse than the 12th pick in the draft.

 

[TLEH]

Keeping Poles would be like keeping Flus last year. If they do it I’ll feel the exact same as I did when they kept Flus.

Add to that. Third OC and losing two coaches (including the DC - a critical position) to HR issues.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

There are two games remaining in the season and the Bears have the same record as the Carolina Panthers.

Let that sink in

 

[ndgt10]

Sweat trade and extension looks like it can be put in the mistake bin.
