Yikes. Losing narrowly to great teams on bad calls and bad coaching = great outcome Getting the shit kicked out of you by a mediocre/hurt team = bad news Thomas Brown's HC prospects (around the league, for years) may get tanked by this, but I have to suspect that DC:Eberflus & OC:Brown vs DC:Was...

Very.

I've been riding that horse for maybe 30 yrs now.

I've been assuming this would happen, after he couldn't play this year

Rod Moore returning



For awhile he was the only S I was really into, but there's a number of them now (esp now that we could use either side).

I remember that as well and they were absolutely right. Negative mark for Warren here he should have swallowed his ego and hired the best football mind available to coach the Bears. I'm quickly souring on Warren Warren lost me with his weird praying on TV thing before talking about the stadium. Dud...

Two thoughts:


1) Who's ready to trade Stevenson in the offseason?


2) Does this mean Poles whiffed on character concerns yet again?

The Bears owe Flus $20,000 per day for the next 2 years. This equates to $13.32 per minute, $799 per hour, $134,615 per week, and $583,333 per month. $799 an hour is just a tick more than I pay my attorney lol Hopefully you're not paying your attorney for sleeping and hanging around in his boxers e...

Oh, yeah


My level of interest in him is so low, I forgot he had one, too.
Sunday will be 21 days (3 games missed) for him.

Not sure how many IR callups they've already used this year. Doesn't seem like many, though.

Still wondering why concussions are an automatic month for Bears players. Just IR them when they get dinged cause they aren’t coming back anyways

Brisker's been crazy long, but Roschon's only at 10 days, which is very normal (modernly, obviously in the 80s, you just kept right on playing).

Yeah, but Elway played in an entirely different era, before the rules were changed to turboboost offenses. I mean, I could say Rex and Terry Bradshaw have pretty similar numbers, too. Not so very different. Elway hung it up after the 1998 season and his 2nd SB win. Cutler was drafted in 2006 so onl...

I kinda wonder if Ian Cunningham wouldn't be an upgrade. Ah, you are a true Bears fan. Always wondering if the number two would be an upgrade over the incumbent. :D I really liked, however, how Poles' pants were on fire to trade up for Odunze and Cunningham counseled "be patient, let the draft...

Does manage to avoid being completely blank

When he was first hired as the head coach in 2022, Eberflus demanded an upgrade for the turf at Soldier Field.

Two plays alone, the Hail Mary and a blocked FG, are half the difference between 4-8 and 8-4. Then there's the last two games which were also there to be won and a terrible performance against the lowly Patriots. Those defeats are why they've fired the head coach. Poles was by all accounts furious ...

I've considered his departure a done deal since April

Odunze's dad has declared (well, reposted) "no DCs ever"

https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-b ... candidate/

I said no, Bears cannot keep blowing it all up every 3-5 years and expect to get this team out of the cellar. Getting a new GM doesn't mean blowing everything up. This is isn't a 2021 Bears roster. You bring in someone to go from point B to point C - which is the same thing we're doing with the hea...

Me, either

Why?

I still don't think Cutler was the problem. The main problem was his complete lack of talent at WR other than the years he had Marshall and Alshon. When Johnny Knox and Hester are your teams best WRs, your not doing much. Cutler had ton of talent. He still had the gunslinger mentality that was goin...

That was nutty

Manhattan Island? Because there were at least a couple of million Bears fans on that island with you. Hmmm, maybe I’m misremembering but I feel like I was pretty ardently shouted down on this board. Maybe not. I was very surprised to go back and find that 16/31 votes wanted Eberflus fired. https://...

Minimal improvement for today

Looks like we're going to see the Travis Homer Show

He's definitely having a bad 2nd half.
Frustration with Flus, better competition, whatever.


I've also pointed out that last year's rating was very influenced by 4 atypical/gift INTs from terrible QBs.
I've never considered him "a 51 rating corner".

Yeah, he's also going to be 35 I think. I didn't realize he was going to be coming off of ankle surgery in addition. I was kind of thinking he could be a Rueben Brown signing to bring a solid vet presence to a young-ish OL. Say...Rueben Brown would be a perfect successor to Lucas Patrick and Ryan B...

Anyway, back to the original question - I'm very, very on the fence about Poles right now. It is a relatively talented team in rebuild year 3. But the list of things he's done seriously wrong is pretty long for 3 yrs in, too. I'd hate to have him hire a HC, then decide he can't stay 1 year later. Bu...

Not sure if this is or isn't true. McNeil, who's been exiled from Chicago Sports Radio for erratic behavior (among other things), has, for good reasons, had a hard-on for the McCaskeys, Ted Phillips et al going back to the late 1980's. He reported on how Ted Phillips bungled the potential hire of T...

My biggest concern is that Poles is being undermined by Warren and won't be allowed to make decisions for himself. I find that a startling biggest concern, given that, if Warren had been more forceful and overridden Poles about Eberflus, this team would probably be 8-4 and on the way to the playoff...

My biggest concern is that Poles is being undermined by George McCaskey and won't be allowed to make decisions for himself. Fixed it for you, that is the real problem since he was the one who would not let them fire Flus after the Patriots game. You can say that McCaskey not letting Poles fire Flus...

Sure, it’s all relative, there are roster fillers. It’s common for “draft experts” to talk up the draft. It’s rarer for draft experts to say “this is the weakest position” and it turn out not to be. If it helps ease your mind, I believe the context of those comments are almost entirely based on the...
