He is growing on me. Seems to be a kid that will put in the work. We will see. I am just hoping for the best and that he adds a missing element to the offense that will create mismatches and allow the offense to get some better presnap reads on the defense. The Bears haven't outschemed people since 2018, and even that was only periodic.
Heard him on Waddle an Silvy today. I like him. I think Johnson got what he wanted and what he can use creatively on the field. Given how the draft fell, I think Colston was a solid pick. Now, I'd like to see OL, DL and RB taken today. But that's just me.

Thanks for asking, I'm 2 hours away from the shockwaves, nothing felt here. They said 7.7, I think that's a strong one?
7.7 is strong enough. I was in the 8.8 and the 8.3 in Chile and it is scarry. Glad you weren't in it.

Good depth piece and another STer. The ST unit is going to be a top 10 unit this year.
Well, we do have that highly drafted punter!

Sad, but not unexpected. BTW, didn't Papa George hire Ditka just before he passed? And Ditka took us to the Super Bowl. Could be karma.

Eric Bieniemy hired as RB coach. Hmmm?

Were/are the Lions good because of Campbell or Johnson? If they have his playbook and all the players know it, will they really be that worse? I know it's wishful thinking on our part, but until I see it, I am not assuming they will drop off.
It's a team sport. I don't think it was "or". IMDo it was a they, together got everything in line to work. Johnson was to top get and we got him. I'm all in.

Last year the home run would have been Jim Harbaugh but Warren had a problem with him in the Big 10.
So we got Flus back.
To me, Johnson seems like a Mcvay or Shanahan type of hire. Did destiny have us go thru a reset year to get us to the right Coach and drafted QB? Had we had a winning season, Flus could still be here.
I'm going with the Bears God lined the Stars for this union to take place. Instead of talking about winning seasons, I think we are going to be talking about how many SBs did we win 10 years from now.

Didn't see that. Johnson will command the the biggest paycheck in this coach cycle I believe. They still could work out a deal but it does add to the negatives of them signing Johnson.
Well, Johnson is now free to interview as the Lions are bounced out by Daniels & Co. We could make a decision soon.

Apparently, to fulfill the Rooney rule, you must interview a candidate in-person for it to count. Rivera is scheduled to be the only candidate to interview in-person, so far, and I won't allow my mind to go to a place where they'd realistically hire him as the HC.
My guess is that they are prepping for in case DET were to lose next week, they could just get everything over quickly now.
Wouldn't Brown fulfill the Rooney rule? He's at Halas Hall and is interviewed for the job? Ron checks off some boxes: fans will like it, he's got experience.

A win is a win and it tastes so fn good eating in Green Bay. Lots of work this offseason for the Bears to do, please don't let us down.
And Caleb is 1-1 vs the Puckers. DJ Moore, did you have money on the game? You were a yoyo out there--TD, fumble, penalty, catch to get in FG range. Santos, you got a winner, finally.

We’ve also been down the road with a proven D-coordinator in Lovie Smith who not only made the playoffs several times, appeared in a Suber Bowl but was fired with a 10-6 record.
And if I recall our O-side of the ball under Lovie was nothing to brag about. I'm all in for getting a coach with offense as his forte. I'm also all in for a coach that can deal with the divas in the locker room.

Curious what you think happened to the team from right before Flus was fired until now? They lost to GB, Minny and Det in three consecutive weeks by a combined score of 7 points. One of those games was played in Detroit. All three of those teams are poised to be in the playoffs. Flus gets fired and now they’ve lost to SF by 25 and Minny by 28 last night .
What happened to all the genius moves that Poles made to get the roster as it currently is? I’m not being an a-hole, I’m genuinely curious . Many of the veteran players have been to a pro-bowl at least once. We have three of our most recent 1st round picks playing on offense; Williams, Odunze and Wright. On paper going into the season, this team looked stacked. Suddenly we have a wagon with no wheels.
No Oline and piss poor coaching, that's what happened. Is Poles to blame for those two, yes. But I don't think he gets fired. We do need to weed out the cancers on the team (Tyrique and Kramer) and put together a DL and OL in the offseason while hiring an Offense-minded coach. Everyone knows that and Warren 7 Co. will give Poles another year to do that, imDo.

Is there a way to have Brown go back to the box for the next game? He seemed to have a better control of the offense while up there. The offense really crapped the bed today. There were at least three significant drops by three different receivers early in the game; Moore, Allen and the Kmet on the 2 pt try. Odunze seemed to be the only one able to catch and both his TDs were not easy catches.
Waddle a Silvey talked about this today pre-game. Brown prefers to be on the field and not in the box upstairs. I think the whole team crapped the bed and I am convinced that they aren't going to rally round any coach this season. Brown is not our coach of the future,

an offensive Vrabel would be best. But who is that? I'm open because no one looks perfect to me (yet?).
We get the right guy and we are going to be solid for years.

I dont know that Brown has any set of things he could do to unilaterally take the job. There are other candidates too, but then again i cant imagine him going 5-0 from here. If he did that, it'd surely be impressive.
I am leaning toward Vrabel too. He has everything I'd want except he isn't an offensive guy.
Honestly there is no one available that I'm 100% on. I'll just have to let it play out, and likely they will make an imperfect hire, and then Ill have to root hard for him to succeed.
But if they pick another HR approved McCaskey muppet nerd, I'm gonna be angry
I do love defense, but it's time we join today's NFL and get a coach that is an offense specialist, AND is a leader. We have our QB that can whip the teams in our division and, with the right coach, can be the catalyst for Super Bowls.

I'd be surprised if Brown isn't still calling plays. If he gets the HC job, it'll be because of the job he does with Caleb. Unlikely that he'd willingly give up play calling and risk Caleb looking bad, which would end any semblance of him landing a HC job.
Whoever the assistant HC is right now should take some of the load of Brown's shoulders during these remaining 5 weeks and allow him to spend as much time as he needs with the offense. Wins and losses don't really matter right now. All that matters is Caleb.
What a disfuncional organization. they let Flus give his Monday presser--and the whole world knows he's gonna get raked over the coals in that, THEN, two hours later they release that he's fired. WTF? Not classy at all. And now, the one guy that has shown some promise with Caleb is removed from his primary task to run this crap show. Do they have an end game? Brown should not be our next coach. Three games and the rest of the season as interim will not make him solid enough to lead the Bears next year. All they've done is used Brown as a stopgap and I can't see that as helping in the teams progress.

I just read his post game quotes - he was defending that operation. That is it - he defended his stupidity against Washington and is doing same here. They absolutely have to fire him tonight / tomorrow. You can’t let someone get out there and defend that shit - that will create all kinds of toxicity. Go to Hoke or Hightower (they don’t have any good candidate - other than I’m not giving it to Brown - let him focus on offense).
Yes, Brown must not be saddled with HC. We are getting good development with Caleb under him. Make him HC and we take a big step back.

I really believe there should be fireworks in Chicago to celebrate the arrival of a legitimate NFL QB to our beloved. Last year's games against the Vikings were both a complete @#$% show on offense. This year with a banged up Oline Caleb absolutely lit them up and it wasn't easy gains via blown coverages or missed tackles. Watching the breakdowns there's just throw after throw where I'd say there is no way I'd ever make that read .... but Caleb was right and he fit it into those tight windows. He's just on a different level.
There is much angst about the coaches but we all know the harsh reality of the NFL where finding an elite QB is by far the most difficult thing to do. Coaches know what it is on film and, unlike 3 years ago, the good ones will be calling Chicago looking for work this year.
Poles is getting some heat too, deservedly so, but IMO you simply don't dismiss the guy who got you the deal of the century in a trade and then followed it up with the first elite QB to play in Chicago in decades. A lot of energy, time, and focus went into the QB position over the last two seasons. That is out the window and now once the coaches are in place we just need to focus on IOL, IDL this year.
I feel good.

The Bears have to fix the trenches with quality depth on both lines. The defense may be in for a change with a different DC and different style defense next year. The defense may look vastly different than it does today.
God, I sure hope it looks different next year. If not, we're not stopping anyone, again.

Right now I'd say Rattler is their starter. And I don't see Bagent going anywhere at this point. But do have a full QB room, so who knows.
