    Plus finding player X who over performs in 2025 translating to an 85 or so win team, good times.

    Is Alabama still a possibility? Even in the remotest? Because, I believe if there's even the slightest case to justify Alabama' inclusion, it'll happen.

    Chalking up he loses to Washington and Green Bay to solely variance is way off. They are things Eberflus could have done in both games that could have dramatically increased the Bears chances of winning. Yes, a good deal of variance is still involved however, there is a factor of putting your players/team in a position to succeed. This is where Eberflus routinely fails, I don't know, maybe, the whole staff is football brain-dead. If me, a novice football fan, knows Daniels ribs are affecting his ability to throw deep so, let's not give him free yardage to make the Hail Mary throw shorter. Or, my kicker has to kick line drives on longer kicks, maybe, I should try to get as close as possible by running a couple of plays before attempting a FG. There's got to be someone on his staff, the supposed expert professionals who do this for a living, suggesting the same things to Eberflus.

    Saw a replay of the DJ to Rome pass attempt, good arm by DJ, holy horsefeathers was that DPI, wasn't questionable, just flat out blatant, didn't see Eberflus' reaction, guessing there was a feeble attempt at a complaint. I'd like to understand why it's OK to mug Bears' receivers this year, just like it was OK to head hunt Fields last year.

    I like the scene on their flight, fellow is sleeping on Steve Martin, coughing, Martin, disgusted, looks over at John Candy who opens his eyes - "Six bucks and my right nut were not landing in Chicago..." Lions offensive is rolling, it'll probably be ugly, Bears do have a QB and some decent receivers, they'll score some points on the Lions. Maybe, quite a few points, while giving up quite a few.

    Watched the Jenkins film, really nice to see a Bears QB not be overwhelmed by the Vikings and their blitzes. They had their shot, they had a big advantage being the first time Caleb has faced them and they couldn't shake him. That's got bode well for the future. Just heard Caleb was 9-12, should have been 10-12, 2 TD's vs. the Vikings blitzes, not bad.

    The Bears will lose, probably by double digits, however, they'll move the ball on the Lions and score some points.
  8. gflore34
    Most definitely, almost any coach would have helped lead the Bears to a win in the games against the Commanders, Packers, Vikings and Patriots/Cardinals. It's not rocket surgery, as we've seen, it takes a special kind of ineptness to lose games a manner like the Bears.
  9. gflore34
    I'd take the Bears because of Caleb, the talent and potential are there, just needs an improvement in coaching. You fix that and I'll take my chances against Detroit, Green Bay and Minnesota.
  10. gflore34
    If the Bears had an OC tailoring the offense, as Brown seems to be doing, to Caleb' strengths from the start. He'd be kicking the horsefeathers out of Nix and Daniels, I don't have single doubt, with better coaching, Caleb will ultimately be the best QB out of Daniels, Nix and Maye. Now it's up to Bears to luck into the right coach.
  11. gflore34
    Most especially against Love and Darnold, their not all that great and can be had with pressure, maybe, someone should inform Eberflus.
  12. gflore34
    It's got to be a case of succeeding despite themselves, somehow the right coach has to fall in their laps. Their due diligence always results in failure, I don't it's possible to overcome that expect by sheer luck.
  13. gflore34
    Can someone who knows football more than I please explain the logic behind Eberflus' defensive approach in high leverage situations? I really do not understand rushing 4 + soft zone allowing easy completions, he did at Detroit last season, against the Packers, yesterday, etc. maybe, they're being aggressive and I can't see it.
  14. gflore34
    It's truly not possible, he's really stupid in that he doesn't learn from mistakes and try different approaches. It's the same old losing strategy and tactics time and again.
  15. gflore34
    Rest of the NFC North better hope the Bears don't bear/stumble their way into competent coaching. Caleb Williams has the goods to be the best, better than Love, McCarthy (eventually) and Goff. Once again Eberflus coaching not to lose results in just that - losing. There was no reason whatsoever to not go after Darnold and blitz the hell out of him. Instead it was more rush 4 and soft zone, if the Bears were coached by most anyone they'd be 7-4 or 8-3 right now. It's got to be apparent to Warren/Poles that Eberflus is not a good NFL HC.
  16. gflore34
    And Eberflus does nothing, right? He'll make certain to send that film to the NFL and lodge a complaint or whatever.
  17. gflore34
    The whole horsefeathers season they've let defenders mug Bears' receivers, just like last season Fields head-hunting. It's got to have something to do with weak-ass Eberflus.
  18. gflore34
    Don't get it either, Darnold is garbage and can be forced into mistakes with pressure, someone should tell Eberflus. Dude is coaching with no sense of urgency, maybe, he knows something we don't know, maybe his job is secure regardless.
  19. gflore34
    You mean wasting time and not running a couple of plays trying to make the FG attempt easier?
  20. gflore34
    Good, the Vikings have the edge the first time facing him, if they can't rattle him the first time that bodes well for the future.
  21. gflore34
    Not watching, appears the Vikings and their blitzes are not overwhelming Caleb? No Justin Fields-deer-in-the-headlights? If so, the biggest and best development from this game.
  22. gflore34
    The usual rush 4 and don't even try to dial up pressure I presume?
  23. gflore34
    It's highly possible, a team would have to try to hand the Bears a game for them to win and since none of those other teams are coached by Eberflus it's not happening.
  24. gflore34
    I'd like to think there's a chance things will improve with the next coaching hire but, given the Bears talent for always hiring the wrong guy, I don't know. They're literally going to have to get lucky.
  25. gflore34
    Or this.
