Yes to your opinions but 2 games is just a small sample size to make long term decisions, its just isnt trending well right now. Plenty of time to right the ship.

They have started well in both games but penalties , missed blocks, bad decisions have derailed them from drives and like PHX said defense is on the field to long and fatigue sets in and things blow up. Once they go back to the run and simplify the offense we will see better results. If they avoid TOs it will keep us in games.

It is a strange situation when a team has lockdown orders to not speak about Williams. Clearly something bad is going on for a lawyer to speak with guarded words. It is probably under some kind of investigation that results have yet to surface. When people mention raid that would mean they have concrete evidence but that would already be public knowledge. Lots of speculation with people just thinking they know what's going on. In time it will surface but one thing happened when Flus met with Alan on his way out the door, they hugged and Flus teared up. Several journalists stated that. Not good vibes.

Agree with all of that.

I'm not sure they want to answer on behalf of Williams. Not sure because they didn't mention it means it happened. I refer to his lawyer that spoke publicly on several interviews that stated no raid occurred. The only way to verify a raid at his home is with a local police or a FBI report. No one can produce that. I spent an hour trying to find out what city he lives in to check that and couldn't find that information. Don't think it happened.

There is also a disclaimer at the end of his show so they dont get sued. His source is X accounts that have no source. I think there is more to the story but I dont think its from a raid.

You know I hope you're wrong but you probably are spot on. Mahomes is the bomb but they dont have any difference makers in the WR room. Also they dont have a good running game. Crossing my fingers.

Time will tell who is worth keeping and who will move on in the future. I understand that some of his reps need to be from the pocket but they need to roll him out and have simpler reads mixed in. I guess this is their way of developing a QB . I think this week will look much different. Everyone needs to do better.

Everyone here is making good points, prey they see what we see.

I agree the bears have a history of odd behavior but George had turned over the franchise to Warren-Poles-Cunningham then it trickles down to the coaches. we need to critize the new regime for this. Let it play out and then start throwing darts.

We are in our second year, 2 games into a 3-4 year rebuild, am I wrong to think Poles should at least get a pass until next year's draft? I realize he has made some mistakes but its about the endgame next year not the, fire his ass now verbiage. The great Shanahan, traded 3 first round picks for a failed QB and everyone praises him because he has built a winning team. he did not do that in 19 games. In his first year in SF he went 6-10. He started 0-9 to begin the season. In 2018 he went 1-7 at the beginning of the year and finished 5-12. I get he had a good track record going in but he was given time to build a winner. Poles cant get past 19 games?

I think they are trying to grow him into a more prolific passer and why the stay in the pocket verbiage. Its obvious not working so they go back to playing up to Justin's strengths. I think they all get on the same page and present a better product on the field. https://x.com/danwiederer/status/1704847789866307971?s=20

Until we see how this plays out on the OL and how they play Sunday, this is going to a doom and gloom week leading up to the game. Is all of this going on going to create a ( rally the troops) kind of game and they look good Sunday? Probably not . I dont think there will be signing at OT that is going to come in and save the day.

It seems like Williams went to Flus last week and told him he had some problems at home and needed to go home. The lack of communications started between Williams and Flus . Didnt get better when he told Poles. I think Flus was trying to be protective with his 6 year friend and was vague with the brass at that point. So the story got lost in transition from there. Williams has 3 boys that are probably teenagers' ( couldnt find that information) . He's 53 so I am speculating on that. Could something have happened with one of his kids and that's why all the secrecy? I know if there was a issue with one of my children I wouldnt want to tell the world about it. So Alan himself doesnt have a criminal issue but maybe something is going on with one of his children? The bears lost two in a row, and the LT occurs an injury that no one was aware of so everything hits the news on the same day. It turns into a bizarre news day. All speculation on my part.

They moved OT Avante Collins to the 53 man roster and added OT Austen Pleasants to the practice squard.

Good watch, glad we have some positive posts to go along with worlds collided Wednesday.

The problem is they came out of the box with 2 loses and then everything that happens is blown up. Davis story-Claypool issue-Williams leaving- Justin not running. Most people predicted them to be bad anywhere from 5-8 wins and now everyone is surprised. I think by mid season we will have some wins and things will die down.

I think the organization was respecting his personal life. Its up to him to tell media if it becomes a story. Everyone got on Davis for being lazy and then his mother was dying , then died. Its not a law that sports teams have to report on personal issues of their employees. I admire that they dont. The lawyer is Chicago based and was friends with his agent ,when all this (its a criminal nature ) came out he addressed the media that its not true. All of that seems logical to me. PHX can you show the media story of the raid that happened? I read the Tribune everyday and I cant find that story.

Can you copy and post that story, his lawyer is on the SCORE right now. He said he has health and personal issues and the team have been respecting his personal life. It's not a legal issue. All of this according to his lawyer.

I'm going to defend the regime a bit. They don't plan injuries, Jenkins and Jones are out. They said Nate Davis is back this week. It will be Borom or they said JaTre Carter could play there, he was a left tackle in college. It's a mess but we'll see how they handle it. I suspect there will be a lot of power runs and Justin running more. Easier to run block than pass block.

No one raided anything. I jumped on Toney being cut the next day and was wrong. X is a bad source to find news and we just need to wait for the true story.

It's official, he resigned. No details yet. Seen !mentioned health issue. Someone seem Flus hugging I'm and tearing up. They were also friends besides coaching together.

We don't know what exactly has happened. Some writers are blowing this story up. There was no police at Halas Hall today. Williams has a health issue.

I think if he doesnt show the proper improvement, they will draft a QB and work out some kind of draft day trade. No way they draft another QB and keep him on the roster. I know its wishful thinking but at some point they will see what they have in Bagent and he will be the backup next year. If it ends up being a Brock Purdy situation, it may be a different story.

So lets say Fields doesnt get better, what trade capital will he bring? I would say it would be draft day and what draft pick? There will be several coaches that will think they can fix him. Does someone give us a #1-#2?
