The doubtful aspect of whether or not to get rid of Eberflus in this thread is surprising. I don't know why it should be. He's a first time head coach who's not even finished his second season and the first season was a complete tear down. 4 out of every 5 players on the roster weren't with the tea...

Too much fan voting really screws it up. Would rather players and coaches did all the voting. Fan voting screws it up full stop. It should never have been introduced. It's devalued the results to the point that they're meaningless. If they really have to have a fan vote then it should be a separate...

We did stop the Lions though, and caused 4 turnovers. They just fell apart in the shitty prevent defense right at the end. Man on man though we whooped them. Ben Johnson had an answer for anything Eberflus tried to throw at him, was a bummer. We very easily could be 6-6. Yep, and the Bears had a 98...

I don't foresee picking a QB high to be the issue that you do. You will probably recoup a Draft Pick on Fields at that point (though is there a World where Poles has balls big enough to both Trade the Top pick AND trade Fields?) The biggest thing on the top pick - Marvin Harrison Jr. Do you want to...

We're clearly improved against the run. No doubt about that. Still, the thing about this argument--and I made it myself--is... against whom? Flus's 4 wins this year were against... Washington... Sam Howell... handful of NFL starts Raiders... Brian Hoyer and a rookie Carolina... Bryce Young rookie V...

Rough year brother, lost my youngest son to cancer, lost my Florida home to a hurricane, and my wife broke her femur. Just now coming out of the weeds. Thanks for noticing though.

At the risk of sounding disturbingly American, you're welcome dplank. Those videos do help get a better feel for how individual players are doing. With so much going on in a game and limited viewing angles it's impossible to keep an eye on everyone, especially those on the lines. Having several guys...

He's been a healthy scratch the last few games.

He was a development prospect who hasn't developed. He's on a rookie deal so he'll probably be back for camp next year but I'll be surprised if he makes the roster.

I guess this helps Santos' case, but there are so many accurate kickers these days he still only ranks 11th in FG percentage despite only missing 2. He'll probably need to be perfect the rest of the way to be in with a shot. Bears K Cairo Santos wins NFC special teams player of month for November Ca...

Good luck. That is on my bucket list. I was running regularly 10 yrs ago. I quit over the winter and lost it. I have been trying off and on over the years with no luck. Did the Couch To 5K workout, never made it past the week 3 workout. Started up again today, doing some jogging and walking on the ...

HRS I think you are misreading the situation. Kevin Warren is not going to tell Poles who he can and can't fire. But at the end of the day, the buck stops with him, and he absolutely gets to have an opinion about how his team is assembled. My guess is that even if it's just Getsy that gets the hook...

I’m off to to Liverpool to watch the footb……. I mean soccer. Should be a good game :thumbsup: Against Fulham? That's like saying a game between the 3rd placed Cowboys and the 7th from bottom Titans "should be a good game". :lol: It's always possible, but I wouldn't get my hopes up! I hope...

Enjoy 10 minutes of our friendly neighbourhood Spider-man enjoying the game:

Ought to.

Caleb Shmaleb. All we heard last year was Bryce Young Bryce Young Bryce Young. Never heard of Caleb Williams until this year and how this class is the class you can't miss out on. Somehow I think if we keep Fields, next year is going to have some guy we gotta get as well... Yep, this happens all th...

The real question is whether there's anyone currently on staff who could take over the OC/play calling role. The fact they haven't fired Getsy already suggests he's not going anywhere for now. The hope has to be that the bye week gives him time for "self evaluation" and a chance to sort hi...

A lot of penalties on our OT's man...I do believe all the line shuffling plays a part in that. As for all the PI's/DB illegal contact, I think the refs play a big part in that one as I know that several of these were flat out bogus calls (not all, just some). Borom and Jones showing up on this list...

Have you got links to those passing charts? I seem to recall Bagent making throws over the middle fairly often. As for Rodgers, he throws slants over the middle all the time. It was explicitly mentioned in the video at the start of this thread. The fact the Bears aren't running these was one of the...

First off, I'm not a mod here but can we dial down the aggression please fellas. It's not necessary. We can express opinions and disagree with each other without getting personal and resorting to insults. Did you know most of the open receivers Justin Fields "misses" are in the middle of t...

Here's a follow up to Chase Daniel's breakdown of Fields posted above:

While general manager Ryan Poles has bigger decisions to make on quarte...

Well this makes it clear where Fields and the offense needs to improve: Fields has a 106.0 passer rating in the first three quarters this season — fifth in the NFL. He has a 60.0 passer rating in the fourth quarter — 35th among quarterbacks with 25 or more attempts. (Mark Potash) That's how you end...
