One thing I know is Dabol will not make a lateral move to OC for the Bears. With Poles now being GM I hope that Dave Toub gets an interview in the mix as well Bienemy. The only other guy that intrigues me is Dennis Allen who seems to have the plan to confuse Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers as well as the 49ers Demeyco(sp?)Ryans.

I have been an avid watcher of ESPN's NFL Live and just a couple of years ago Bill Polian was a regular contributor on that program which leads me to believe he is still connected in league circles. The only thing recently that worried me about Polian was he thought Lamar Jackson should become a WR.

Gabriel Davis just made playoff history with 4 touchdown catches.

To your credit more digging I found out that he was in a struggle with Bill O Brien over personnel and that he decided to step away because of his wife's illness and the rumor mill says O'Brien won the battle.

That sounds like a late rounder to me because all teams will want due diligence on his medical history

I believe hiring Harbaugh would come with a similar price tag and package like Gruden got in Vegas. Gruden picked Mayock to be his GM. I'm not sure the Bears may be willing to pay the price to get Harbaugh and give him that structural power. With Polian involved I can't see him recommending that.

It was said that Smith stepped away while his wife battled cancer.

Justin Fields is a work in progress mainly because of his experience in college and current NFL head coach. For him to not be taking snaps from the beginning of TC and now being put under the microscope makes me think this head coach is dodging how he treated the other first round QB under his tutelage.

As a long time listener to ESPN 1000 "JD's" Bear hits were something I looked forward to because he was precise and direct with the info he presented! I loved his input and hope and pray for his son. I don't know what the bears donated but, it looks like the Packers donated 250K.

The CFP was disappointing and now again two SEC teams meet for the Chip! The 1/1/22 Bowl games were much more entertaining.

Congrats and God Bless!

With your letter vs the thousands to continuously show up, he is humoring you because as you stated others continue to show up and with the news that they were able to secure a bid for the Arlington Park property, should tell us all that they have the money plus the backing of the NFL to get that done but are not keeping an eye on the bread winner! Mad L thanks for your passion Lemon

I forgot to mention the Bears are paying decent money to Jimmy Graham and also have Jesse James on the roster as well as JP Holtz and yet non have had an impact!

Yes and though the ball was not catchable he was clearly hit. That call is usually made on Fair Catch plays so I'm confused!

Through 4 games we have watched the Tight Ends be a non-factor in this so called Tight End Centric Offense! Sunday they were part of max-protection and a couple of lead blocks and a couple of targets to Kmet. That clearly wasn't the head coach calling the plays because those "Wild Cat" formations were a total surprise to the defense and us viewers! It is amazing when a QB has protection plus "Fitting" play calling what they can do, be it Andy Dalton or Justin Fields. We brought in more speed to stretch the field and today it showed. The right side of the OL and the rookie QB continue a trend that was happenning in the preseason of allowing pressure from the QB's front side and the first one Fields avoided with a spin move at the last second. This has to get better with both the Oline and rookie QB.

How can you call "Catch Interference" when the player catches the ball? I know there should be a "Halo" when signaling for a fair catch but, that was a attempted return with the returner clearly making the catch cleanly! If you noticed during the broadcast the network didn't replay it more than once. ling for a

Dan Orlovsky on ESPN breaking down the Bears game film says the Bears only called 2 RPOs and didn't max protect on any pass attempt and Miles Garrett said that he was surprised that Fields was not move out of the pocket and said it was easier to know where he was going to be.

He thinks he's fooling somebody. It doesn't matter who is QB he runs the same plays every game.

I'm not sure who is out there that has previous GM experience but, if I remember correctly the Bears have not had a GM with previous experience since Jim Finks. After he was forced out the door every GM following was a first time GM and all the head coaches except John fox have been first time head coaches. My picks for first time head coaches are Joe Brady, Eric Bienemey, Stanford's Shaw and Byron Leftwich.

It's clear to me that both Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy talk out of both sides of their mouths. The best QB in preseason was Fields, Andy Dalton is not Alex Smith who also had some mobility. I can see Aaron Donald ringing Dalton's bell and Fields being inserted in the 2nd Qtr with only scout team reps making Nagy look very stupid since this O-Line is still under construction and Dalton having been in concussion protocol last season will be at risk behind this patch work line. Leonard Floyd and Aaron Donald ought to be salivating right now.

The vibe here in Chicagoland has not been as frenzied as some of the media portrays but, the cohesiveness of the O-line is tantamount to the success of the offense and that can't happen without all players available. The number one concern is availability. This is eerily like the Chris Williams saga which eventually turned into disc surgery.

I read that Bears were at 16 also and it was mentioned that he is looking at what Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper got as his target.

As a longtime Bear fan(circa 1966) I have seen 1st round draft picks traded for Qbs that didn't pan out, I've seen 2nd round picks flame out and I've seen a 6th round pick take the Bears to the playoffs. Jack Concannon, Rudy Bukich, Virgil Carter, Larry Rakestraw, Bobby Douglass, Gary Huff, John Huarte,, Bob Avellini, Vince Evans, Greg Landry, Vince Evans, Jim McMahon, Steve Fuller Mike Tomczac, Jim Harbaugh, Steve Walsh, Erik Kramer, Shane Matthews, Moses Moreno, Will Furrer, Rex Grossman, Kyle Orton, Craig Krentzel ,Cade McNown, Jeff George, Jay Cutler And Mitch Trubisky Not to forget Mike Phipps, Rick Mirer, Kordell Stewart, Henry Tillman, Spergynn Winn Mark Casale ,Doug Flutie, Mike Glennon, Nick Foles and now Andy Dalton. I know I missed a few but it's close to bedtime for this overnight baker! I'm hoping the Bears don't screw it up this time!

The tradition and the nostalgia for me left when they design what looks like a space ship of a stadium and dropped it inside the iconic Soldier field columns. When ever I see film of the 85 Bears in action there is always a crowd shot of the columns. That was Soldier Field. With a seating capacity 61,500 there is no way they can make enough revenue to continue to compete with all the teams that continue to build state of the art stadiums. I say if they receive the bid that they buyout the city lease and move ASAP! The Bears will never get what they want from the City.

Any comments that we can make are speculative and we should wait and see what he has to say if/when he shows up until then what has khyris got?
