Getsky out, unless something changes significantly for the better.

Fields in, unless he goes downhill.

I truly don’t believe Flus is getting fired. I do believe Getsy will get the hook. Hopefully Reich will be interested in the gig. (With no apology to anyone about the draft order) I think Bears are gonna win too many games to fire Flus. I knew Getsky was a bummer when we learned about his time at G...

artbest01 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 11:15 am The offensive woes fall at the feet of more than just the OC and QB. It's not a binary choice imo. Getsy has struggled and Fields has struggled. It's not a good fit.

I think this is a reasonable observation.

I've been saying this for a while now: The fantasy football mindset puts fans in the position of drafting their own team and this tends to stoke a fantasy perspective which certainly does obscure a rational and realistic perception. I'm wondering if any of our Fields detractors (haters) here do not ...

One of the better performance by our D. They look to have turned a corner since the start of the year and Flus taking over. Balls for them all. Fields get the unique Balls and Horns award. He played a great game until the two fumbles that gets him the horns, but he got that out of his mind, took co...

It is what it is, I feel confident that we'll be moving on next year.

That first sentence is an absurd statement.

If they don't play Monday that will give them three weeks off to get more healed up and better recovered.

Bye comes at a good time for Bears.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

I think plank might be right about this team being not so far from decent. They're not at all far from being decent. How far they are from being serious contenders is the more important and less clear issue. The team's talent acquisition (and development?) has passed its nadir and that arrow is now...

"And then, of course, we need some better coaches who actually amplify the performance of the talent vs diluting it." - - Dplank Succinctly put bottom line, right there. While I've been lucky enough to find a bucketful of confidence in our young and still improving QBs, there's certainly ...

Flus and Getsy don't have the moxie and they're not getting better.

I want Ryan Poles to emulate George Halas in 1965, okay? Get two super studs at positions of need with two picks in the top five.

And don't draft a QB when we've got two on the roster who can get the job done - get some better coaches.

That's all I ask.

Scott said he slowed down because he lost track of the ball. As far as throws, I've seen Williams make plays and throws I haven't seen Fields make at any level - particularly on the move under duress. Yesterday, Fields did overcome the "get pressured/drop eyes" approach he went back to ag...

Playing for draft position year in and year out is getting really really really old. Agreed, but here we are. I've officially shifted to "lose out for better draft position". Week 11 hasn't even finished yet. A little sniveling goes a long dam way - fi you sincerely want the Bears to lose...

I went with "minimizing turnovers/sacks" but was so, so tempted to go with a fastball to Getsy's cranium :lol: Well I yielded to the temptation - of course I want Fields to target Getsy during warmups when he's not looking - sure, put a good knot on his bean so they check for concussion. ...

What happened to this guy? Not just "running more" if you watch the entire clip, but the way he's fighting in the pocket, the energy/power/juice he's displaying on the field, the fun he's having. It's literally inside him, we have seen it. https://youtu.be/psWD4A_QC2A?t=37 One more reason...

I think it's (generally) true that the best shooters - we're talking about hunting, not benchrest - are people who shoot only one rifle as well as only one load. That said, I have two Remington 700 30-06's. One is scoped and the other has a peep sight. If it's raining cats and dogs I like to have th...

Why shoot a 25-06 when the 270 will do everything it will do only better? They're both a necked-down 30-06. If you're in a real out of the way place and your ammo gets lost - or you didn't bring enough with you - the local mom and pop general store will have some 270 or '06 ammo, most likely. My bud...

I don't think the Bears would be that unattractive to a new OC (under Flus) because Poles is making progress on the rebuild and he has a very good supply of draft capital. Contracts can be adjusted as has been pointed out. I don't think it has anything to do with Bagent until the Justin and Luke Sho...

Agree, center should be pretty high on Pole's draft wish list.

Lions 37

This will be litmus for us and we're not gonna test well.

How do we feel if they lose all of the next 4, then win 3 straight to close the season against 3 teams playing for draft position? Normally I'd be against meaningless wins in any given year but since we have the Panthers pick we need to start getting a some kind of winning culture. Those wins might...

That second weapon changes it all because the defense can’t double team everybody. The team I think about is the 2000 or so Minnesota Vikings. Daunte Culpepper Robert Smith Chris Carter Randy Moss They could put up 30 with regularity and that was before the rule changes we have now that further pro...

Hmmmm.

We agree to disagree, my good fellow.

I had some visitors on my deck last week. The area where I live always has a lot of deer. It always brings in the predators, too. First time I've ever has mountain lions. These two looked to be about 30-40 lbs and they were in prime shape, not starving or anything. I figure their mom dropped them of...

A week after committing five turnovers (three interceptions, two fumbles) in a loss to the New Orleans Saints, Bears rookie QB Tyson Bagent completed 20-of-33 passes for 162 and no giveaways. Bagent is 2-0 as a starter when not committing a turnover this season (0-2 in games with a turnover). - The ...
