  1. I'm disappointed with the product on the field, regardless of experience. I agree it says more that veterans like Patrick, Reiff and Schofield who were brought in to secure this line have been awful. I get they want to get worse before better but doing so at the expense of Fields puts them back further compared to giving him some protection and weapons. It's not a coincidence the current run of bad QBs runs parallel to the current run of horsefeathers GMs and Poles is looking like another one. The opportunity to improve this team is there, they have cap space. OBJ Daryl Williams Quinton Spain They would immediately improve this team and give Fields a chance. It's not about the playoffs or anything like that but they're going to Tim Couch his career and for the next year or two, they need to see what they have. With this crap supporting cast, you'll still have no clue. This is a sentiment that many people share. I went back and forth with a dude that wants Reiff in there now for Braxton Jones. And I think the disconnect is our goals as fans aren't the same as the goals of the front office. Fans want to build up Fields to be the next great QB in this league. Poles' goal isn't to build up Fields, it's to build up the 53-man roster. That's why you saw him taking what he thought were BPAs over pigeonholing picks to OL or WR in Round 2. That's probably a big reason why you have Jones, Jenkins and Borom starting on the OL. Guys like Beckham, Williams, Spain, Reiff and Schofield don't really serve a purpose. They are all 1-year guys. Granted, Beckham could be more, but that simply isn't happening. He isn't going from SB ring to the worst team in the league even if he could potentially put up astronomical numbers as the only good player on the team. But there's really no reason for a rebuilding team to bring in a bunch of 1-year veterans to salvage what we already knew was going to be a lost season. Poles is trying to develop 53 players, or at the least 22-35 long-term starters and contributors to the overall team. Bears fans are trying to develop 1 great QB. Granted, the best way to win games in the NFL is to develop 1 great QB.....but clearly Poles feels like he needs to build this thing from the ground-up, at every position at the same time. And if the QB he didn't pick doesn't survive it, so be it (his opinion). Can't wait to see the noodle armed oaf he drafts to replace Fields who sets the franchise back once again. For the first time in a long time, I had a strange, overhanging feeling that I hadn't had since Wannstadt was coach. This org is a disgrace - they have no idea what they are doing or where they are going
  2. Getsy is fine. You have one of the best run games in the league. Your OL should be able to get you 1/2 a yard. Plus, it's weird to feel for Justin not having anything to work with and then blame Getsy, who is working with the same people (plus Justin). It's stunning how this team falls flat on their face inside the 20. Little stupid mistakes by players and/or Getsy. To me, Getsy isn't "fine", he's just as much a rookie and looks overmatched because of it
  3. Letting Daniels go was horsefeathering stupid. You can't tell me he wouldn't be a better C than Mustipher. Daniels was drafted with the idea of possibly becoming a C He's not even playing C now for a team with a similarly bad OL I realize that but it just doesn't seem possible that he'd be a worse choice than SM. SM either completely whiffs on pass blocks or gets stood straight up on a bull rush, either way it causes catastrophic results
  4. I'm more in between than I was two weeks ago. He's gone from indescribably awful to just regular bad. We can ride out another season and a half of this to see if he develops. He's hitting guys in their hands/faces and they can't catch the horsefeathering ball and your thought is "..derrrp er ya Fields is just bad"
  5. Oh and as someone else said, Ryan Fitzpatrick is a tool
  6. His early draft results have been real bad... Even with Brisker. Forgot to mention Reiff and Schofield too. Pringle, etc. St. Brown, Pettis, etc Letting Daniels go was horsefeathering stupid. You can't tell me he wouldn't be a better C than Mustipher. Daniels was drafted with the idea of possibly becoming a C

  14. This is the most fun I've ever had watching nfl football - said by nobody
  15. Wentz is hurt, so it's simple "take advantage of the Bears terrible run D" and they are just old school "Hog"'ing it down their throats
  16. I don't get many of these so.... Perfect throw
  17. Poles has finally killed Fields
  18. Johnson is a stud Welp, how about a 1/2 time adjustment Getsy
  19. How do you throw over a center who gets high bull rushed straight back into your qb horsefeathers mustipher already
  20. One hesitation on an open guy kills the drive Awesome support there Poles
