I hindsight, I very much miss the competitive era we had with Lovie Smith

Also the teams were disciplined and didn't take stupid penalties every Sunday

Washington ties it on the last play of the game.

 

[hawksrule]

That was a remarkable loss. One for the ages.

Bears will finish 3-14. Panthers 4-13

When your qb goes 28/35 for 335 and 4 TDs you should win

 

[ClydeLee]

This was what would of felt like the perfect loss for rebuilding, tanking, and seeing the offense growing... but doing it against Denver who was so brutal inspires like no future hope there for Fields

 

[TLEH]

Fields just threw for 4 TDs and 300 yards and lost to the worst defense in the league. I don’t see 3 wins for this team. In fact, I’m not sure they win a game with this coaching staff and roster.

As a Vikings fan im legit scared of what the Bears could look like next year. Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr could actually happen.

As with each game this season - there's plenty of blame to go around. The only difference between this loss and the 3 previous losses was Field played well today. The fumble was on him - I guess - although they were on him immediately. The receiver (Kmet?) stopped his route on the interception so if Fields is expected to throw it were the receiver is going to be - the receiver can't pull up and let the DB snag it.

Oh, and the smartest guy in the room head coach going for it on 4th and 1 instead of kicking the go-ahead field goal - yeah - total brainiac move.

0-4 and tied with Carolina for draft positions #1 and #2 - I like it. Keep it going boys. Don't go getting froggy and winning a game or two.

Find me three wins

Not with this coaching staff. That was their best shot at a win and I don't think I've ever seen a more pathetic choke job.

 

[Mikitastan]

This is the game that should get you fired. We know the defense sucks, but how do you take everything away from your offense that worked in the first half. That 4th and 2 early in the game told me all I need to know about “Flus”. He’s trash. Garbage coaching.

I wouldn't worry about the Bears if I were you. They'll find a way to f*** it up no matter what.

It's some of the most gutless, inept coaching I have ever witnessed. I called it at the end of the first half when they were mailing it in, happy to be up 14... Cowards. No killer instinct. Conservative garbage play calling. And it killed them

Khalil Mack with 6 sacks today. Bears dumped him

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Raiders o line when Khalil Mack approaches.

True lol But in all honestly id be cautiously optimistic about the future.

Yep, and the pick Chicago traded for him was used to draft Kyler Gordon.

Harrison Jr. would be great, but I have to think they're eyeing Fashanu or Alt as well. With Wright looking good so far, having a rookie QB come in with a strong LT, RT pair could outweigh MHJ's potential.

And Fashanu is for some reason getting a bit overlooked so far. He would have been the first OT off the board if he had entered the draft last season.

Unfortunately, I don't think even with 2 top picks, the Bears will get a reinforcement on the DL early in the draft next year either. Maybe in the second round, but I would personally prefer an interior lineman there.

Gonna disagree with you here. First, it seems to be the consensus that MHJ is a generational WR prospect. Fashanu looks to be an elite LT prospect, but not generational (at least from what I've read).

Second, while it's clear that LT has a major impact on the offense, an elite WR can single-handedly take over games in a way that a LT can't. This goes back to the Sewell or Chase debate. Both are amazing at their positions, but I kinda doubt the Bengels have regretted their choice at any time.

As for the DL, if we're in a position to draft Williams I think you basically put all your resources into the offense. Hire an offensive head coach, spend a ton on the line, etc. I think it'll be better to surround Williams with competence even if they're losing games because of a shit defense than try and have a balanced roster that can win games next year. Also, it's generally easier to buy (FA acquisitions) a competent defense than a competent offense (DL is basically the only position group that's hard to build through FA for a defense, while quality OT, WR, TE, and QB are difficult to find in FA for an offense).

Take the borderline-generational QB and give him the generational WR to work with, figure out the rest later AKA the Bengels Method.

Correction: Poles dumped him.

Zach Wilson making Rodgers forgettable in NY right now.
