The reason could be cause Getsy is beyond stupid and stubborn. He’s just a different version of Naggy

Does Getsy realize that for screens to be effective you need to set the defense up for them? You don’t base your offense on that. Minny is stacking the box because they know we are only going to throw at or near the line of scrimmage. The other issue with our screens is we are horrible at blocking. officiating has sucked but what’s new there…

Last week they took it out of his hands with the game on the line. If I were fe Defense I would be pi$$ed. They have played their butts off only to have the offense do nothing

The screens aren’t fooling anyone so tired if this chicken $$;&;& play calling. The more compressed the box gets the closer to the line of scrimmage Getsy calls. Have we even attempted anything down the field? Two weeks straight we dominate time of possession, offensive plays, and yet have next to nothing to show for it. Can we just drop Getsy off somewhere in Minny?

That very well could be. One could argue at this point would firing this staff right now be more about reacting to fan outcry or making the team better. We all know the product on the field is unacceptable. If Poles doesn’t see that then we have more issues than coaching. This one was hard to take. We were 3-7 on the road facing one of the top teams in the NFC at 7-3. With three minutes left we had them on the ropes. This is a game of momentum. Up by 12 we let them march right down and score in less than a min because we went into a soft D. We then compound it by playing ultra conservative on offense running straight int a stacked box twice forcing a throw on 3rd we’re Scott quit on his route. Only chewing like 30 seconds off the clock. We again play prevent D and let them move right down the field. What’s worse is that we had 3 time outs in our pockets and we let them drive for the game winning TD and milk the clock. We didn’t call our first time out till there was 26 seconds left. What’s the point? Did he not realize the time was ticking. Fields was put in a bad spot.

Moot point now was going to be a tight matchup. Switched over to the colts game in time to see my QB Richardson get hurt and it looks like a multiple game injury. My team can’t catch a break…

looking for some lineup advice full PPR currently have TE Waller @ Miami Flex Mattison Not much out there in FA for TE. J.Smith, Pitts, Godert, Musgrave. Lot of meh. I’m hoping Waller has a good game anthem maybe package him in a trade. Same thing with Mattison. for my flex my bench is: J.Warren, J.Addison, T.Dell, R.Doubs, Lockett, M.Wilson. I’m thinking of swapping out Mattison for Doubs, or Dell also thinking of picking up Dowdle to handcuff Pollard.

Watched that play a couple times and I didn’t see him step out of bounds I think he got robbed there. And I think that’s why he reacted like he knew he got robbed. That said, when we were up big at halftime I was thinking the same thing all Bears fans were. Were we going to come out flat in the second half and blow another 20+ point lead and lose. I spent the third quarter and up the DJ Moore TD in the 4th thinking “here we go again.” The offense got stagnant, the D forgot how to tackle. I have to give this team major credit. Injuries piling up there was no quit. To play with rookies and third stringers on D and our fullback as our only RB for most of the 4th. The 14 game streak, the eerily similar feel of the game last week. They could have folded but kept fighting. As discouraging as last week was this was an encouraging performance on the road on short rest. Enjoy the W guys you earned it. Then get back to work. This mini bye is much needed to get some guys healthy.

I almost have no words. 41-0 through 3. Bears will be the NFLs get right game for struggling teams. What also sucks is my fantasy team finally having a good game but I’m playing against Mahomes… I’ll be 0-3 just like the Bears. This is Trestman level embarrassing. Play calling looks no different, D looks no different, same s***, different day…

I really do hope this is the light bulb moment for Fields, the coaches and the offense as a whole. It’s been very well articulated here in this thread. And his comments match what the eye test sees. What has baffled me over the years (not just this regime or player) is that we have a history of trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. Trying to make fields a try pocket passer goes against his DNA. That play style is not what makes him special and dangerous.

Torn Achilles. At his age could be career ending. Regardless of what the Bears fan in me thinks about him it does suck to possibly end your career that way.

Having better talent around him should help him play more calm and let the game come to him. He doesn’t need to feel he needs to do too much. I like that the first play was a quick pass to the fullback for an easy completion and a first down.

Agree, and to me that is why Moore is the best #1 WR fit for this offense. He can beat a defense in so many ways. Not just a one trick pony who’s mainly a deep threat. He adds so much versatility to this offense. When your top WR can take a screen pass 50+ yards to the house and make it look so effortless will give DCs fits. They will have to keep track of where Moore is, spy on Fields, and the run game, and someone should always be open. What a great get by Poles to insist on him being part of the trade.

I think this is a good assessment of the big picture. It wasn’t all going to be fixed in one offseason but Poles addressed as many areas as could and he’s not done. But the changes made should at the very least raise the floor and the ceiling on the Bears in 2023. To me it’s a sum of all parts being better kinda thing. One narrative this offseason that has annoyed the crap out of me. That Ashkum eluded to about the national perspective vs us fan’s perspective. It bugs me when I hear the line “they were the worst team in football last year”. It’s lazy low hanging fruit. Yes, we had the worst record but if you actually watch the games you see a team that was better than it’s record. Certainly the most competitive 3-14 team I’ve seen in some time. We know that, but the reality is the national perspective won’t change till that competitive effort translates into results.

One thing that I think skews Field’s stats is that the first part of last season we hardly threw the ball. I can’t knock him for what was beyond his control. Hard to rack up passing stats when the play calling was so run heavy early in the season. Add in the line play and limited weapons he had around him. That said he certainly has room to grow. This offseason has been about investing in surrounding him with more weapons and improving the protection up front. This season he is setup to take the next step. I believe he can and will.

I’d I hear right that he was a QB, but voluntarily changed positions to RB when his team lost all three of their RBs? Like this pick great value for a guy who got overshadowed by Robinson. Great character guy and a bruising hard working back. would like Wipler next.

ABC’s coverage sucks this is the second Bears pick they have completely ignored

Dexter

His footwork, mobility, and agility stand out to me. Like you said he says balanced and plays under control. It’s when linemen don’t have good balance and footwork that they panic and have to hold. It’s the difference in playing in a reactionary way rather than taking the fight to your opponent.

Been some head scratching moves so far. So refreshing that we’re not one of those teams. It’s kinda funny that the Jets didn’t take a WR in the first round after Rodgers whined about the Packers didn’t do it. Would have laughed my butt off if the jets had taken Will Levis

Detroit taking Gibbs surprised me a bit. I was glad the packers didn’t take JSN.

I agree, so this what it’s like to have a GM that actually does the smart thing.

Darnell Wright

What did we get in the trade?

Packers get the Jets #13, a 2nd (#41), a 6th rounder (# 207), and a conditional 2024 3rd round pick that becomes a 1st if he plays 65% of the snaps (very likely). Jets get Rodgers, pick #15, a 5th rounder (#170), and Rodgers massive contract. So the Packers move up two spots in the 1st round, a high 2nd, a sixth, this year and a ‘24 1st (though this could likely be a late 1st). They take a cap hit this year but are then free from Rodgers big contract. The Jets move down two spots, give up some good draft capitol this year and next year for at best a 2 year rental. Then they’ll be a QB needy team again. They are going to have to go all in during this 2 year window. Short term this trade helps the Jets, but long term it helps the Packers. All this talk about how the jets are serious contenders now kind of make a me chuckle a little as the are swinging for the fences on a QB who’s choked in the playoffs more than he’s come through.
