    Are they really that stupidly stubborn? I know, rhetorical question. Without rule changes the defense, defense BS is never going to work, again can they be that stupidly stubborn?
  2. gflore34
    Fixed.
  3. gflore34
    Yes, don't where that team from last night was when they played Michigan.
  4. gflore34
    That's worse than Poles repeatedly horsefeathers up and keeping his team mired in losing?
  5. gflore34
    We don't know for certain but, at the moment, hiring Johnson and dumping Poles appears to be the "right" decision. There's a high probability the Bears will not do this, they'll horsefeathers the decision and Caleb up. horsefeathers up a potential superstar franchise QB is going to be the most egregious error the Bears will ever commit. What's more is this isn't even all that hard, I believe most any ownership and us fans can see the path to being competitive. I know the money keeps flowing regardless of outcomes. However, I thought these millionaire types have massive egos, does McCaskey like being the laughing stock of the NFL? Has this guy any pride or balls?

    I thought the same, appears the Texas defender did not lead with his helmet still, nevertheless, it was helmet to helmet contact on a defenseless player. Which, I think, is targeting.

    Simmons is out with an injury, hope the Bears stay away from drafting him, even if the injury isn't serious. I've had it with the Bears drafting injured players.
  8. gflore34
    Forgot about that, like you, when it happened, I had the same thought. He'd fit like a glove.
  9. gflore34
    Apparently, #71, Josh Simmons is another potential Bears' draftee. Thought Banks Jr. played well in the earlier game.
  10. gflore34
    I thought Texas - ASU was going to be a blow out and OSU - Oregon was going to be a close game?
  11. gflore34
    ASU deserves all the credit, despite, at times, appearing physically overwhelmed, they hung in, I hope they win. Suck it pro-SEC ESPN.
  12. gflore34
    This and someone should inform McCaskey his organization has no stability and there won't be any until he hits on the right combination of GM and HC.
  13. gflore34
    If true, I'd like to think the Bears are capable of firing Poles into to the sun. But, the realist part of me says there's no horsefeathers way the Bears are choosing Johnson over Poles. With the Bears and McCaskey' inane notion of organizational stability, stupidity reigns supreme. An owner truly committed to winning, when whats currently in place is not working, would be willing to try anything to get on the path to competitiveness. Unfortunately, for us that's not McCaskey.

    I did not see the opening kickoff, appears South Carolina tried to trick the Illini. Prior to catching the ball in the end zone South Carolina returner spread his arms as if to indicate a touch back. He caught the ball then threw a lateral to another returner who proceeded to run the ball out of the end zone. Guess Bielama was teasing/taunting the Gamecocks after kind of a bush league move.
  15. gflore34
    Texas - ASU may be the last of the blowouts, believe the other playoff games today will be competitive. Watching possible Bears draftee, #78 Kelvin Banks Jr., anyone watch LSU yesterday? If so, how did Will Campbell look or, did he opt-out?
  16. gflore34
    A pleasant unexpected surprise the Illini beat South Carolina in the Citrus Bowl. One of the few sports teams I follow that wasn't total horsefeathers in 2024. And suck it ESPN ,your SEC darlings lost to the Big Ten again! That makes twice today!
  17. gflore34
    I believe Caleb will ultimately be the best of him, Daniels and Nix. Most especially if the Bears address the line and pair Caleb with a Ben Johnson, Joe Brady or Kliff Kingsbury. The Nix talk is irritating as horsefeathers, just going to have to take it until next season.
  18. gflore34
    I'll give Poles credit for Caleb, I truly believe Poles knew Fields was a lost cause as a passer and the Carolina first rounder in 2024 was going to be very high pick. Thereby, if necessary, enabling him to trade up for a QB, turns out that wasn't needed. Wright is a good RT who I believe has been playing hurt most of the season, if he's healthy in 2025 he'll be fine. I to, believe Poles wanted to fire Eberflus after last season but, McCaskey stepped in to keep him. As for the remainder of his moves they've been, on the whole, terrible. Moreover, if Poles is retained, I don't trust him to be able to identify what's needed to repair the offensive and defensive lines. Most especially in free agency, he's got to target front line starter types, spend the money.
  19. gflore34
    I have to agree, we can't assume Caleb would have been a slam dunk with any of those three. And they most definitely would have gone with the meathead defense, defense, run the ball, control the clock approach. Thereby, probably removing the Bears chances at the #1 pick.
  20. gflore34
    I'd like to believe this is just idle speculation however, it's the Bears. Who have a real affinity for the doing the things in same manner that has resulted in multiple failures.
  21. gflore34
    A desperate Poles may be worse than a non-desperate Poles or, he'll continue to find Nate Davis types to sign/trade for. With the combination of cap space and draft picks there's no question a decent GM could fix the OL in one off season. But there's the catch a decent GM.
  22. gflore34
    The real question - will Jenkins play? And, if he does, how long? So far, this season he's missed/exited games with the following body parts injuries: thigh, ribs, ankle, knee, calf. If does manage to play, what body part will be injured? Might as well round it out with, say, a shoulder contusion? And it'll happen in the most Bearsy way, don't know the specifics but, in some way that could only happen to a Bears player.
  23. gflore34
    Unfortunately, you're probably correct. The point I was trying to make is Poles has no empirical evidence he should remain the GM, most organizations would fire him based on this alone. However, being terrible at your job is often times not enough to get you fired from the Bears.
  24. gflore34
    I think we all agree he should be fired, there's nothing to suggest he's capable of fixing the trenches. In fact, there's plenty of evidence suggesting he's incapable picking and signing/trading the correct players.
  25. gflore34
    I really don't believe that's going to happen, I believe they're going to hire someone with an offensive background - Johnson, Kingsburry or Brady. To me, firing Poles is key, if they do then, we can take away they're serious about addressing the roster issues and competing.
