  1. Everyone is a little too traumatized from 2024. It's ok folks, Eberflus isn't here to hurt us anymore. That being said, I'm more terrified of Jake Browning than Joe Flacco. The worse a QB is, the lower on the depth chart they are, the more I am convinced they are going to tear us apart. It's Cubs-vs-bad-rookies-they've-never-seen-before syndrome. Win the game, show some improvement from Caleb. But guess what, even if they lose, the world isn't over. Just go out there and have some fun folks.
  2. Yeah it’s unfortunately a “beggars can’t be choosers” situation in the defensive backfield. We just need bodies. but it won’t help our campaign against penalties
  3. Sunday was insanely disappointing and borderline unacceptable but I feel like sometimes people miss the fact that the Bears are, you know, a winning team (as of right now) I go crazy on Sundays and lose my mind but it’s good to remember that this team is not like, terrible. Maybe when we look back at the end of the season it will be, but it isn’t right now! Let’s not just assume they’re going to repeat the 10 game losing streak last year. They win the next game, and they’re right back on track. The sky isn’t falling dudes,
  4. Shohei Ohtani reached base 9 times in one game? thats horsefeathers crazy dudes we haven't seen horsefeathers like that since Barry Bonds in '04
  5. The Poles extension may end up being the most consequential thing out of all of this. He’s had 4 offseasons to put together this team, drafts, free agency, trades, and the talent is simply deficient. There simply aren’t enough good, above average or star level players on this team.
  6. I think these QB School Youtube Guys make their living simply telling fans what they want to hear about QB prospects. No need to polish a turd, Caleb was bad.
  7. Caleb is definitely ultra-focusing on Odunze as a safety blanket and it’s hurting him and the passing game. I hope they can coach him up to not hyper focus on just the one guy and god, hopefully spread it around a bit more when it’s a high pressure moment or scramble drill time.
  8. Starting Bagent for ??? Reasons is having no standards. It accomplishes nothing. He has no shot at all at being a starting quarterback in the league so it serves no purpose. You start Williams in the hopes that he actually can be a franchise QB. It’s the prerequisite to having a championship quality team. If he isn’t, that’s too bad, but it’s the only thing that matters. Any stopgap is just wasting time.
  9. I see no need to sugarcoat it: Caleb was brutal. He was bad last week and he was even worse this week. Something is just not clicking. Is it possible he’s just bad? Of course! But I’ll repeat my mantra: he has this job throughout the end of the season unless he hits Justin-Field-week-6-literally-cannot-complete-a-pass-bad. Anyone calling for Bagent has completely lost the plot. This season is not selling out all the breaks in order to squeak in a 9-8 record and possibly, maybe, slide into the playoffs. If that’s what you want, you’ll never see a championship and the best you can hope for are one-off seasons like 2001 and 2018z This was primarily a season to both evaluate what you have with Caleb and to coach him up. He’s moving backwards. It’s time for Ben Johnson to coach him up. Nobody is getting benched, nor should they. (Again, unless he is so bad he puts up negative passing yardage)
  10. Officials didn’t help but this was overwhelmingly a loss at the feet of the offense. If they execute at all, they still win easily.
  11. Why would I bench Caleb? The whole purpose of the season is to see what you have with him and teach him. If he’s bad he’s bad, but you have to ascertain that.
  12. It feels like Eberflus rose from the dead and possessed this team. What the horsefeathers
  13. You just gave up 30 points to the Lamarless Ravens. Humiliating lol
  14. I’m moderately angry at the defense but mostly angry at the offense for doing absolutely nothing
  15. Bears definitely didn’t play well enough to be angry at the refs today
  16. The Bears are a deeply evil team
  17. This is a far more painful game than the lions game tbh
  18. Like it’s insane they’re talking about this and not commenting on the clear helmet to helmet hit
  19. Uhh no way to rule a helmet to helmet hit there?
  20. Only my teams
  21. I despise my favorite team. They hate me and only want me to suffer
  22. It hurts my soul that no matter what, the Bears can’t play offense
