Zach Wilson 19-33, 57.6%, 186 yds, 5.6 Y/A, 0 TD, 0 INT, 5 sacks, winning QB Mr MVP Jalen Hurts threw 3 INTs and with the lead and just after the 2 minute warning, your throw an INT that gets run back to your own 8 and on the next play the Jets score the go ahead TD. Then you have 1:46 and a TO left, with Brown and Smith as your WR, Goedert as your TE, and you go 4 and out to end the game. and just like that, there are no more unbeaten teams.

Now that would be absolutely insane. Getting the #1 pick to draft a QB, trading down to where you can still get MHJ AND another 1st rounder to get an Edge or OL or DL would be incredible. I also like that they still have CAR's 2025 2nd rounder, which by all accounts should be a great pick as well. I am curious at CAR's rebuild strategy though. How exactly are they going to improve their team without high draft picks? Like in 2024, without a 1st rounder, how are they going to catch up with any team in their division who are already ahead of them AND the other teams still have their 1st rounders. I get that they needed to go up and get a QB, but honestly, I didn't think Young was good enough to make that trade. Now you have to rebuild with essentially one hand behind your back and by the time your roster has newer draft picks, Young is coming out of his rookie deal anyway.

I read that he wanted to go back into the game but couldn't grip the ball. So as long as there is nothing on the MRI, he may not miss that much time, if any.

One other thing. I can just walk away and go about my day. I have no vested interest in the Bears when they are this bad. I can't imagine being on the Bears beat or media covering this team. It has been so bad for so long, they write hype articles or for them to look like clowns themselves. What sucks is very few of them gave us a proper perspective on this team before the season. Most were optimistic and had the Bears winning 7-9 games. At this rate, 3-14 is the highest probable outcome (wins against CAR and ARI), and even those games, other teams feel like they have a shot at beating the Bears.

I would love to trade back and still get MHJ, but if you pulled that off, you started with #1 and #2 and flipped #2 to maybe back to #4 or #5. I don't think he gets out of the top 5. Probably 2 QBs, Olu, MHJ, and an Edge.

Williams did struggle, but he definitely throws way more anticipatory throws than Fields ever has. What will be interesting to see how Williams plays for the remainder of the year. His supporting cast is not that good.

The MVP Brock Purdy against Cleveland: 12-27, 125 yds, 44.4%, 4.6 Y/A, 1 TD, 1 INT, 55.3 QB Rating in a 19-17 loss. SF lost to PJ Walker.

Not everyone OLineman can be a top 10 pick. Braxton Jones is out, which makes the line look much worse. With Jenkins back and Nate Davis, they really just need a Center, but that would come in the 2nd-4th round. If they have an opportunity to take the best QB, and your QB room is still undecided, you have to draft one to reset the timeline. Otherwise, if they ride with Fields, Poles could be gone by next year. My assumption is this entire staff gets axed this offseason, then they bring in a younger offensive-minded HC and pair him with an older DC. This would sync the coaching staff with the QB, something that has been off for years (since Cutler).

Getting thrown to the wolves is never a good place to be for a rookie backup. Let's now see what he can do with a week of prep as QB1. If he struggles against LVR, then we will have a better idea of the source of the problem.

This is a bad team, they don't even need to try to lose, they will do it regardless. They are now back in 2nd at 1-5 now passing the Broncos due to SoS. Panthers are 0-6 at #1. They have LVR, LAC, NO before CAR. More than likely will be 1-8 when they play an 0-8 CAR team. This is also why you don't fire anyone in season, just let this dumpster fire keep going.

and either way gets hurt like today, from the pocket. He is taking way too many hits.

I am still not sold. Seattle did a similar thing when Carroll first got there and turned over the entire roster in 2 years. It's not like the roster will change (besides deadline trades) before the end of the year, so this is the same team after 2 years. A dip was expected last year, but this year there should be visible improvement and we have seen that for maybe 3 quarters out of the last 24.

Improvement is not linear, but it also shouldn't be so volatile. There are very few average games for Fields. He is either really good or really bad. The defense held the Vikings to 13 pts. If Bagent's fumble doesn't get returned for 6, the Bears were in FG range to take the lead before that duck INT.

Damn he had Moore, arm got hit. Moore came all the way back to force a fumble but not enough offensive players in pursuit to grab the fumble. This is still a badly coached, weak rostered team. Poles built this and we are now a year and a half into this and the team is arguably worse than it was when he took over. Outcoached every game. Now knowing they will run the ball, you now can't stop them.

Regardless of outcome, when the Bears defense purposely applies pressure, it works almost every time and they look great. When they rush 3 or 4 and drop everyone else back, the other team picks them apart.

Too small of a sample size right now, but if he leads another TD drive and the Bears take the lead?

Yeah, things have to be much cleaner and clearer for Fields to play well in the pass game. Bagent may not be the guy, but he is a guy that looked much better in the pocket.

So Bagent back to back completions to Moore, now Moore getting checked out on the sideline.

Unfortunately, we are done with the season a month earlier than last season. Fields will more than likely go on IR. There is no point bringing him back quickly if you are 1-5. There is even a remote chance they shut him down for the year to preserve his trade value. So he may have played his last snap as a Bear as crazy as that sounds.

Getsy is an idiot. Just watch Minnesota, they have 7 guys blocking 4 and receivers are still open.

Whether it is by design or not, Bagent does look more crisp and decisive passing the ball. Results are the same though.

Have to take those shots. Terrible snaps by Whitehair. Messing up the timing.

Bagent gets stripped, returned for a TD. Why is Getsy making Evans, 180 lbs RB block a DL. The last two turnovers for the Bears were caused by an RB trying to block a DL by design.

Bagent in. First play, super quick pass to the outside, complete.

Yeah, he landed awkwardly with a 250 lbs dude on him. That is normally a wrist injury. If he is in that much pain, it is more than a sprain.
