He added a bunch of maybes with limited cap space. Some are hits , some misses. Better way to do it than paying players like ARob a big contract and not have #1 WR production for it. He created cap space and IMO got us a few core players. Justin Jones, Armon Watts, Robinson, Morrow, Gordon, Brisker, B Jones, Jack Sanborn., Claypool. Still has the jury out on players like V Jones, J Carter, Wesco, Leatherwood, Matt Adams, N Harry, ESB, and Pringle. The second year will give us a better indication with a first round pick and 125 mil in cap space. As of now, I would give him a B+. If he hits on V Jones, Harry and Leatherwood, he gets an A+.

I agree, with the cover two you need a pass rush. The play Johnson got the penalty, he hit the WR at the line of scrimmage which I dont think is normal for the Cover 2. Am I wrong about that? The D actual improved against the run. Williams and Swift are not a lousy pair. The D will get better as the frontline get more of a pass rush, whether you need to do that with blitzing or just the ends. One problem in this game is the Lions are a physical team (like us) and we are not use to that. It caused use to commit penalties, were out of sycn. Johnson didnt play well, he had some injury designation all week. I dont know if that affected him. Once again bad refs come into play again. They seem to be at critical times. I dont think this changes until we start winning and get them more in or favor. The Claypool call last week may have given us a victory or not but the penalties in this game took the win out of our hands. I didnt like losing to the Lions but the lost puts us closer to being able to draft Jaylon Carter that will transcend our Defense.

I think every game he was learning and starting in the Wash game it started to show. Since then his confidence has been going up which is affecting his whole game. Now he goes for it. The pick 6 seem to be a stumble but he said afterwards, that will never happen again. I believe him.

They deserved to lose this game. to many penalties missed X point Fields throwing a bad ball

It was better they scored right away, now they have time to get a score.

If you watch the replay of the penalty on Johnson, he never hit him in the head. Must be the crew from last week.

Monty may not putting up big numbers but he is punishing the D.

We may have the best offense in the league right now. Sanborn may be a starter for the future going forward in the middle. Morrow on the wing.

Im saying 40 to 27 Bears today, feeling stupid enough to say that right now.

You say you replace him but, draft a 3 rd round rookie to replace him? If you get a vet and cut AJac, he's costing you 9 mil + the new salary.. It will be 5 or 6 at the most not 18+ mil.

If you can replace him with a vet that is as productive cheaper, of course. That hasnt presented itself yet. Why drop a good player for money when we have 125 mil in cap space? That is one more hole to fill.

I think from here going forward its about being in the playoff hunt next year not to keep tearing down. Cap space is not an issue so we should keep him. Flus valves TOs and he leads the team. He's not going anywhere.

If we go by Poles first yr of being GM, he will target a few big signings and then resign who he sees as core players. In the draft he will go with BPA early and trade back later for more picks. He said he will build by the draft and dont see him changing in only his second yr. My choices (barring tags) Orlando Brown LT with a young OL, I think he will solidify the line with vets instead of more draft picks Ethan Pocic OC same as above Bobby Okereke WLB ties to Flus coming from a failing team He resigns Monty (team friendly deal) Morrow- proved value Armon Watts - good rotational player Tevor Wesco - cheap contributor N'Keal Harry - will show value going forward He extends Claypool and Mooney This is from a PFN draft simulator 9.

I became a Bears fan watching Dick and Gale in the late 60s, not sure if that makes me the oldest Bear fan on here but I endured the yrs with great Ds and good RBs. It is nice to be on the precipice of a great QB. Not sure if that ends up winning us a SB but if will be an entertaining ride.

Lots of people make predictions but you never hear from them when it don't happen. I originally thought we could win 9 or 10 games but I'm not going to bring that up when we go 6-11.

I think before people start stealing our coaches , they probably need to stack some wins. Getsy seems like he could be a future head coach but doubt if its this yr if we continue to lose. If we went 6-2 it may make people notice.

If Dd'Ron Payne doesnt get tagged, we should target him. I personally would like if we get Elgton Jenkins and Ethan Pocic and set our OL for the next 5 yrs.

I think two games puts him over the 10% snap count.

I think Reiff stays on the field , he has been more consistent even thou he isnt very athletic. I think they plan on seeing what Leatherwood can do in a few weeks since they have invested in him. We have a chance to win 3 of he next 4 games. Det-Atl-Jets-GB. If we can get anything out of our defense, I think the O in is high gear right now. With Buffalo and Philly coming later, those are loses. Probably 6 0r 7 wins this yr.

I think the rest of the year will determine Jones fate at LT. If he progresses, I think they go forward with him. If he doesnt get better, I can see this being a priority in FA. Orlando Brown was tagged this yr and if they tag him again, they will have to pay him 20 mil. Next yr is when Mahomes contract kicks in and they will be more scrutinized with their money. If Whitehair is up to speed, I think the next two yrs is our go get a title time with Fields on a cheap contract, so I think they keep him. Their grooming Carter to take that spot and think they give him one more yr to grow. If Patrick comes back and plays solid, they will keep him there. If not, they have Kramer in the wings or may draft another OC. Bradley Bozeman and Ethan Pocic will be available in FA. They have Patrick signed next yr but only cost 1.3 mil to cut him. Jenkins is a future pro bowler, enough said about that. They have both Leatherwood and Borom signed for next yr. This yr I think when Leatherwood is ready they play him to see what they have. If they go on a run to the playoffs, they will not load the OL down with all young players, that is why I think that Whitehair stays, Patrick maybe . If Leatherwood doenst work out, they could draft another RT to be in the hunt. I dont think they pay a RT a big contract to come in. So I think next yr will be Jones-Whitehair-Patrick or FA Evan Pocic-Jenkins-Leatherwood or a draft pick.Olumuyiwa Fashanu or Jaelyn Duncan.

It just gets better from here out.

He is no longer a #1.

Had we came back and won he game, Fields would have got a lot more press. Tua is another young QB, they are still adjusting to talking about him. After this game, the attention will go up. Remember most bad mouthed him, they have to slowly change over because it makes them look bad.

It would be different if the ref had a bad line sight but he 5' away to the side, tat was perfect position to see it.

This is worth a watch. Let me know if it doesnt work, its off of Twitter
