  1. Hate to say this but, I hope the Lions win the Super Bowl, might make it easier for the Bears to hire away Ben Johnson. I know the last time the Bears hired a hot shot OC was Nagy and we know how that turned out. Johnson is probably more legit, he's not working with Mahomes and Reid, not that Goff is terrible, he's not Mahomes. A legit, good HC in Ben Johnson + Caleb means the Lions, Vikings and Packers better beat the Bears now while they still can. Then again, who am I kidding? The Bears will probably somehow horsefeathers it up.
  2. Dipshit attempts an apology with this - “To Trevor I genuinely apologize to you for what ended up happening,” Al-Shaair wrote. “Before the game we spoke and I told you how great it was to see you back out on the field and wished you well. I would never want to see any player hurt because of a hit I put on them, especially one that was ruled ‘late’ or ‘unnecessary.’” - putting quotes around late and unnecessary makes me question the sincerity, I believe he did it to save his ass from the above suspension.

  4. I'm fairly certain many are thinking the Bears are going to roll over and 49ers are going to get "well". Wouldn't be shocked if its the other way around, in any case, this game is certainly more winnable now than when scheduled first dropped.
  5. Along with Daniels, irritating, ultimately, Caleb will the best of bunch, glad the Bears took the the best QB.
  6. I would think so as well. Yes, he made a great trade that resulted in potentially the best Bears QB in our lifetimes. He's also horsefeathered up a ton - drafting Velus Jones, neglecting the OL and DL lines, trading for Claypool, signing Davis, retaining Eberflus for 2024, etc. - it's not like he's got some sterling great resume.
  7. As long as they get it right I don't care who makes the decision, does Poles getting the final say guarantee correct hire?
  8. All logic and common sense speaks to such a conclusion. But, it is the Bears so, you never know.
  9. I've seen people arguing it was clean, that's football, total horsefeathers, dude's wearing a brace. Leads with that padded arm right into Lawrence' head, there was nothing "hard" and "clean" about it, should be fined and suspended.
  10. If Brown can help with the case of step on their own dickitis they'll probably win some games. It's not a roster devoid of talent, I would say none of the remaining teams have a big edge, if any, in talent on the Bears. Hopefully, Wright and Shelton will be good to go, the OL with Jones, Jenkins, Shelton and Wright is adequate. An adequate OL with Caleb getting the ball out quick means the offense will cook. Big things are will the defense stop the run enough and generate some pressure on the QB to get some stops. They were able to do so in the second half vs. Lions, which means they're certainly capable of getting a few stops vs anyone else.
  11. I'm probably wrong but, I think leadership may have improved under Poles, I truly believe he convinced McCaskey Eberflus had to go. Eberflus being allowed to do his Zoom call was enough evidence to me that, were it up to McCaskey, he was going to be allowed to finish the season. Poles thought otherwise.
  12. Maybe, look a kicker with a big leg late in the draft, Santos is reliable and accurate but, only at short distances. Need that kicker who routinely nails FG from 50+ yards out like every other team seems to possess.
  13. Other than perhaps, the Cowboys, Bears is the most desirable, Bears roster + Caleb Williams is the closest to a playoff team.
  14. I don't believe it'll be so, Poles had to convince McCaskey to fire Eberflus and he did, I believe Poles knows Brown is a possible candidate and nothing else. True, Poles deserves heat for the obvious roster decencies and giving Eberflus another shot, he also deserves credit for knowing Eberflus had to go. I think he's got an idea of the right moves to make.
  15. Me neither, that's why I don't want see him go 3-2 or win any games. McCaskey' a gullible idiot who'd be convinced they found their next HC should such a thing transpire.
  16. When you think about it, it's very fortunate the way yesterday' game ended, Eberflus in his typical dick-less fashion, was going for the tie. Just consider, had the Bears tied the game, with a probability of 1, Eberflus' defense would have blown it in OT and we'd be talking about another defensive breakdown. While Eberflus remained HC.
  17. To me, the above says Warren/Poles had to convince McCaskey that letting go of Eberflus was the correct move. If true, good on them.
  18. The real question is did Eberflus try to use that final TO? Or is still in his back pocket?
  19. I don't want anymore wins, just Caleb' continued development and a stop to coaching malpractice/ineptitude.
  20. I know but, at least, they fired him. I really believe McCaskey was not going to pull the trigger, that's why Eberflus was allowed to go on, business as usual, until Poles got to him.
  21. Because he's a nice boy who doesn't cuss? But, seriously, I don't believe McCaskey was going to fire him, think Poles laid on the line for him.
  22. Will Poles ever get fed up and say to McCaskey - "listen, you dumb horsefeathers, your HC has lost the support of the players, he must be terminated, now" - or something to that extent? Most anyone, regardless of how professional their approach, would reach a boiling point as these dumb founded loses pile up. Guess Poles just did say something to that extent to McCaskey, if he did, I'll give him credit for trying to start to get it right.
  23. Next season how could the Bears HC job not be in the most demand? Think about it, a QB, decent roster and an ownership that'll give you multiple chances no matter how badly you horsefeathers up, What's not to like? It's got to be the most desirable job out there and it's not even close.
  24. Better question had that been a Bears player hitting Goff would a flag have been thrown? I say, 100% yes, earlier in the game they manufactured a roughing the passer call against the Bears, there's no doubt in my mind that would have drawn a flag.
  25. The shot Caleb took from the Lions LB was it cheap? Appeared to me Caleb was starting to go down and the LB targeted his knee.
