An interesting note in the rookie QB comparisons. Not only do they not talk about opponents, but they don't even mention things like pressure rate. Of the QBs with at least 10 starts, Bo Nix (27.3%) has the 3rd lowest QBP and Jayden Daniels (29.2%) has the 6th lowest. On the flip side, only 2 QBs with 10 starts have a higher QBP than Williams (37.6%).

Teams ahead of the Bears in the draft order have some favorable matchups in the event that the Bears lose. Both other 4-8 teams have easier opponents with CIN at DAL, and NO at NYG. TEN also plays JAX. So there is a good chance that we 3 teams with another win below the Bears. That would make a Bears loss equal pick #9 and a Bears win equal pick #12 or #13.

In their last two games they have been outscored 73-20 and now they have more players injured.

SF is 2 games out in their division at 5-7. They have 2 division games left. No way a Shanahan will let then check out. he's telling them if they win out , they can make the playoffs. They have superior coaching but their injuries put them at a disadvantage, I think its going to come down to the end of the game and the more physical team will win. If DJ Moore and Swift play we have a shot, if not ?????

Trent Williams out, Bosa doubtful. McCaffrey and Mason done for season. After returning from a frozen Buffalo game where they were beat up. This SF team may be mailing it in for the season. We will see, but that team had way loftier goals than the Bears and are only 1 game ahead of the Bears thru 12 games.

Let’s do this - let’s go 🐻

I think Bears win by a field goal.

Poles has much more experience with the interworking of the footbsll side than Warren. Warren is a lawyer by trade and built a stadium, he didnt all of a sudden become a football survant. That would be like turning the coach search over to George, just a business CEO, of which probably has final say anyways and why everything is always failing.

I think we can find reasons to hire someone or reasons not to according whether you like him or not. Belicheck has been fired twice but everyone knows he's a major talented coach. I think , like you, if will be a smooth transisition to keep a coach that has helped Caleb play better, shows play calling ability and can keep the same offensive system for next yr. If Brown goes at least 3-2 and the offense is much better its a no brainer. A new coach may want a different roster, may like a 3-4 defense, add a new offense that will have a learning curve for a young QB. Stability is not over rated, quicker to get to the promise land.

Another thought to my wanting him to be the front runner is IF he's able to competently lead the team during the heat of the battle and IF they continue to show improvement I'd think for the sake of consistency you'd be crazy to not let him try to continue next year. In my opinion the jury's still out on Williams but if he is to keep making the strides we've seen these last few weeks, there would be no better way to break that streak of confidence if you suddenly shift direction with a whole new scheme. I'm not necessarily a fan for a coach like Vrabel or Belichick simply because we've 'been there, done that' with a guy like John Fox. Belichick proved he didn't have IT as much as he once did when Brady left and Vrabel doesn't overwhelm me with his past coaching history. Why after three winning seasons in 2019-21 did he suddenly fall off and go 13-21 before being fired last year? I'm also not overly excited about Ben Johnson either. Lately the Bears are often too eager to jump on the next greatest whiz kid in Offense before being made to look foolish a year or two later (see Trestman, see Nagy). And not all that long ago everyone was excited for the next great Andy Reid prodigy, Eric Bieniemy. I had to look to see where he was these days; after being shown the door last year as Washington's OC he just got fired as UCLA's OC after they were ranked 126th in the FBS for scoring.

💯. As I get older, it gets harder and harder to root for them.

I would be up for that, my main frustration is that we seem hamstrung by the owners. Maybe Bezos will buy the team.

if all this is remotely true (and i would not doubt it) it's the same crap that has gone on from this family owned franchise at LEAST since 1980 (finks leaving and muggs halas dying). this family who have been owners of this franchise for over a hundred years know absolutely NOTHING about how to run and manage a professional football team. it's the same shite year after year after year. they just can't keep from sticking their fat, dirty, greasy fingers into the pie in some way or another. it's almost hard to believe how little these people understand anything sports related except how to milk money out of this franchise at the players and fans expense. mike mccaskey gone? nope just another halfwit named mccasky running this franchise into the ground with childish, stupid, bass ackward decisions.

Running point is just a dog sniffing for game birds. The guy with the gun does the shooting and eating.

I thought Warren literally said in the presser that Poles was the "Point Man" on the HC hire?

He hasn't thrown one since he played us 4 weeks ago. Goff had one though.

Warren has already stated that he will personally oversee the hiring of the next HC. Poles to assist.

I thought Love had an intercetion?

Poles took a GM job with the parameter of he had bosses that interject into his job. There is enough noise to suspect some of it is true. I think he is a smart man and will try to overcome something he has no control over. Until ownership changes we cant do anything about interference from the owners. We can just hope Poles gets what he wants. Why would any of that change if we hired all new people? Its best to roll with a GM that had made positive effects on the roster and cap space.

We get to watch in real time, him audition for the job.

Say what you will about Caleb, but straight up game comparison against the same team, same location, and same day of the week as Jordan Love against DET: Love 12-20, 60%, 206 yds, 1 TD, 0 INT, 23 rushing yds Williams 20-39, 51.3%, 256 yds, 3 TD, 0 INT, 39 rushing yds Also, the biggest thing for Love was field position. Campbell was doing everything in his power to give the game to GB. GB had starting field positions of the DET 30 after a turnover on downs, the DET 16 after an INT, and the GB 48. Even with that, Love only put up those numbers. Lastly, his 206 yards includes a 59-yarder to Watson, so he had 147 passing yards the rest of the game besides that one play.

yeah I suppose the upside of McCaskey peeing all over these previous choices is that Poles wasnt responsible for them. Doesnt mean he is good at picking coaches, but it would definitely mean that i have no evidence that he is bad at it either. This team is such a mess. I hope they make the right choice for the next head coach. Also, I just heard Pat McAfee reporting that some NFL guy at the combine thought that Vrabel was too intimidating physically for some teams to consider hiring. LOL Man what is football ABOUT then? It's a weird time.

I'm not surprised about Warren saying no to Harbaugh after he had to deal with him and a lengthy investigation into his years-long sign stealing issues. As great a football coach as Jim Harbaugh is, I too don't like his circus act. I believe there are other good football coaches...go get one. I'm more frustrated over the fact today they reported Flus was McCaskey's choice and Poles had to "accept" that. If it is also true that Poles wanted to fire Flus last year and was told "no" then we have a much more serious issue as illustrated in the above posts. Was Poles also told to let Flus hire his OC candidate and give him one more shot? Thus we ended up with Waldron while Poles wanted Brown? The only good thing about all this is that it gives me more confidence that Poles does in fact know what the team needs in a HC. I wasn't that confident prior to today. Add in that he was able to convince the McCaskey's to fire Flus mid-season and it leads me to think he's going to get more leeway to make his choice. This also could explain why Poles was so reserved during the post-firing press conference where he seemed to be biting his tongue more often than not. Either that or he's being totally cast aside and this HC decision is not his to make. If that were true I'd expect him to resign.

you nailed it. it's so frustrating. I dunno what the letter would do. Theyre gonna sell when they think it's best for them, and until then, theyre gonna keep meddling. I either feel bad for Poles, or I think he's really bad at his job. And I don't know which it is.

Let's play chicken and egg. The unverified reports say Poles wanted to fire Flus at the end of last season, but the McCaskey's said no. Now, the same reports are saying Warren made the call on Harbaugh. Since it's really Poles who should be hiring and firing coaches, do we blame the new scapegoat or the old villains for the latest scrambled egg? What we do know is that it took a meeting with George and Kevin before Ryan could do his job. What we also know is that Jim Harbaugh wanted to come here. The "they didn't want me" quote is seared into my brain as a reminder of the ineptitude of the McCaskey family. I'm thoroughly convinced they are in it for the money at the expense of winning. I'm not buying any more Bear wear and am considering other actions. At the end of today we have a GM that's powerless, a president with no plan for a stadium, yet is going to take his valuable time to find the next coach.(He was basketball guy). Lastly, we a 103 year old matriarch pulling the shorthairs of her moron son. I'm beginning to despise this franchise. What would y'all think about constructing a letter to the family from our site? We could use our membership numbers as something that may carry some weight. Or at the least, they may actually read it.
