ASHKUM BEAR

The Bears would never give a hint on what they might possibly do with JF. They would stay neutral unless they are trying to drum up the price on pick #1, which they do not even own. So all these signs are reading into too much things and wishful thinking. They wouldn't start to make such plans until the season is complete and players pass the exit physicals. I have a friend in real estate that said Ivant Fields, Justin's dad, just closed on a property in Vernon Hills. ?

Caleb will have to decide Jan 15 to stay in school or enter the draft, so 3 weeks.

Interesting and maybe why I like a certain prospect in this class. I do think the Bears offense needs more pieces regardless of the QB and they should be in reach to getting those this offseason. Then comes the OC and whether he is capable to designing plays and adjusting to beat defenses. He can script well but after that is the drop off him or the players.

On Twitter, many say JF cannot play in the 4th. I believe the coaches are handcuffing him by playing conservative to protect the lead or not risk a turnover. That has lead the Bears to 4 wins as of late. It has also brought a couple losses that we should have won. I still think by signing Fields to a 5th year option gives the Bears a vet QB and time to draft and develop another QB without disrupting the continuity this team is building. It might mean missing on Williams, but Williams has dropped hints he doesn't want to play here and what good does that do by drafting him. Sell that pick to the highest bid and take a QB down the board that would be happy to be Bear.

A WR1/2 would make a huge difference. Claypool was supposed to be that guy but he checked out of football a long time ago. I would be good drafting MHJ #1 or trading that to LVR for WR Adam's and 2 1sts. The slots we fall to wouldn't be as exciting but it reloads the Bears with more bullets for the future.

Then let players leave in FA and get picks from compensation, the pipeline could be endless. The Bears just need a QB that can win and we haven't seen it yet.

It is nice to see Mahomes and the Chiefs struggle for once. The league is hard to stay great and a team is more than a QB. I love the idea of making our #1 turn into a 2025 and 2026 first to keep the blood pumping for as many years as you can. We know Williams doesn't want to come here which makes a trade out acceptable and the Bears can still find a way with draft picks to get a QB.

And their oline is patchwork. The Bears handed them the W, like a few others so it is nice to know our team is on the cusp. A Center and a WR2 would make a difference, along with a QB that can pull the trigger

Not your Average Joe. Joe Flacco was relaxing on the couch when he got a call and he has resurrected the Browns into a contender with their top defense and now a high output offense. 300 plus yard games is something the Bears cannot find, maybe they are looking in the wrong places.

Did coaches clean details up? Poles is watching and that cute 3rd and 1 wildcat was not clean. That might be more on Getsy but still has to be cleared by Flus.

Heck yeah, that was a huge kick.

He returned and was targeted a few times but not really effective.

His only receiver didn't return after the half. Moore was hurt and Mooney sucks. Scott, Jones Jr, and Tonyan wouldn't make the Cowboys PS. Sure Fields wasn't great, but it was enough to win

Thank God Fields played a great game and willed the Bears to victory. Get him some help and we will be contending.

Hold on Patrick after a great run.

Getting away from the stuff that was working. Come in Getsy

Hell of a fake and throw

Let the new HC pick his staff if you are going to fire Flus. It is not good to handcuff your hire

Don't put Moore in that position, he don't have strong feet today to get in a phone booth fight.

That ankle roll didn't look good. Hope it is nothing and he continues.

I think the Bears can move down if they can see past Williams. I would love for Maye to blow up the offseason to keep him in the top 2 names so Daniels, McCarthy can be taken at 5 to 12 and even Penix 15 or after. Nix will sneak into rd 1 too for the 5th year option.

I think this is going to be a preview of the Superbowl.

Last one...

That is something he needs to overcome with trust in the line. He knows he can bail, so it isn't coming easy for him. The sad part is the Bears did little years 1 and 2 for him and he had to rely on his legs. This year you can see he is trying to stay in the pocket but still feels the pressure as his first reaction is to bail. Watch his reaction as he shrinks and loses downfield vision when the pocket starts to shrink. His inability to release on 1st or 2nd reads is also an issue after the scripted plays are through. I think it goes back to him only trusting his legs which if he doesn't overcome will be his exit. I would love to see him with MHJ a good Center and see if he can become something in the league, here or elsewhere.

Used PFF. Still hate having no 2nd, but that is Sweat, so it is looking good.
