SF at 5-7 is favored by 3.5 pts at home. They are playing after a SUN Night game in the snow in BUF, while the Bears are coming off their mini bye at Thanksgiving. SF has lost 3 straight and have been outscored 73-20 in their last two games. McCaffrey looks to be out for the year, so it will be interesting to see how they respond. With the Bears, it will all come down to how the team responds to Brown as the HC. The talent is there as they have been in every game this year outside of the ARZ game. Otherwise, they had a chance to win any one of the other 7 losses. They could've easily beat 3 of the top 10 teams in the league over the past 3 weeks. EPA/PLAY: CHI OFF is 23rd, DEF is 10th (OFF has been top 10 since Brown took over as OC) SF OFF is 10th, DEF is 15th If the Bears offense plays like a top 10 unit, and the defense can play in the top 15, the Bears should have the edge in this game. The recent odds also suggest that the Bears as slight favorites. I am going with Bears 27-20

Maybe it was some lingering injury issues, but the old (good) Keenan Allen showed up on Thanksgiving. He looked light years better than he has all year long.

The Warren/Poles press conference was brutal. I have never seen Poles look like a kid who just got yelled at in the other room before family photos. At least Brown was on point. I really like this guy. I can't believe he was not highlighted more in Hard Knocks. He is a complete 180 compared to Waldron and Flus. The players still need to execute on the field, but I would not be surprised if they win 3-4 games out of the last 5.

Caleb's QBR in his last 6 games: Last 3 with Brown: 84.3, 77.4, 66.1 Last 3 with Waldron: 35.2, 19.9, 13.1

Caleb had a 66.1 QBR against DET and now is over the magically 50.0 boundary at 50.5. The highest QB output since Cutler was Trubisky in 2018 with 3,223 yards and 24 TDs. Williams should surpass the yards and has an outside shot at the TDs.

Washington or Hightower I would assume, so Brown can stay in the booth to call plays, but I would not be opposed to any of those 3.

If Poles wants to keep his job, he has to fire Flus this weekend. Otherwise, he has tethered himself to this abortion of a 3-year stint.

I honestly would not be surprised if the win out after he is gone. He is that bad of a HC.

Once Caleb saw the time, he changed the play to go for the win because there would not be enough time for another play. He also said it's not his place to call a timeout in that situation.

Thru 12 games: 1. Moore - 663, needs 67 per game for 1K 2. Odunze - 543, needs 91 per game for 1K 3. Kmet - 448 4. Allen - 441, needs 112 per game for 1K 5. Scott - 0, needs 167 per game for 1K Now it looks like Moore is the only one with a shot at 1K. He should also finish with around 90 receptions.

Caleb needs to average 245 yards in his last 5 games to break Erik Kramer's team record of 3,838 passing yards. He now has 14 Passing TDs and is on pace for 20 TDs. He has averaged 276 passing yards a game with 5 TD and 0 INT over the last 3 games where Brown was the OC. He has faced GB, MIN, and DET, all top 10 defenses. If he averages this same amount for the last 5 games, he would have 3,990. So 4K is still in play. He needs one big game and he should hit it.

Trestman was passive, but he never made this many blunders. Eberflus is the laughingstock of the NFL.

The Bears are now #9 overall after falling to 4-8. With the highest SoS, they can't get higher, but NO, CIN, and DAL can pass them back up if they lose. The Bears can stay at #9 if they all win, or drop to #12 if all 3 lose. There are 4x 3-8 teams that can tie the Bears this week, but it won't impact draft position, CAR, TEN, NYJ, and CLE. However, it does setup for them to pass the Bears after the Bears next loss.

Williams is not even in consideration for ORoY while Daniels is the favorite, strictly due to wins that are beyond Williams control.

He has to go after this one. Mini bye before next week. Show him the door, get the interim guy setup and start prepping for next week.

He is literally the worst modern day coach in NFL history.

Also, that phantom horse collar call on Gordon led to a DET TD. The difference in the game too. Never should've came down to the last sequence anyway. Caleb threw for more TDs in the 2nd half against DET than any QB has all year in a full game.

He is the worst coach in NFL history, bar none. No HC has ever lost this many games due to his own game mismanagement. This is now game 10 that the Bears shouldve won but lost in the last 3 years. Unbelievable.

Detroit had been shredding everyone and the Bears came back after halftime and outscored Detroit 20-7 with a chance to win, and they literally lose because of coaching. Flus has to go.

Way too much pressure for a backup D-Line, that was not a good game for the O-Line. They got pushed back on every play while our DLine was getting pushed back. Lost in the trenches again. Caleb thru for 256 yards and 3 TDs, 0 INT, now at 2612 Passing yards with 14 TD and 5 INT thru 12 games. Daniels has 2,613 thru 12 games with 12 TD and 5 INT. Nix has 2548 yds, 16 TD, and 6 INT thru 12 games.

Short week vs arguably the best team in the league and you drive your team down within FG range and the HC shits the bed again.

Welp, I will close this thread.

Unbelievable, no words. Eberflus has to call a timeout there. Seriously, this guy is so far over his head. How many more losses do we need to experience before the organization does something?

Yeah, I think they are less likely to fire Poles after 3 years because just like with Pace, he got a 2nd HC hire after Fox. So Poles will get one more shot at a HC, but then just like Pace/Nagy, they have 3 years to get this right because Williams rookie deal will be coming to an end and this team will look vastly different. However, it just seems like the same trend. Guess how many years Fox got before they fired him? 3 years. Flus is in his 3rd year. The same things were being said about Fox early on, setting the culture, blah blah blah. There were also questions about his Coordinators and coaches too. Then Pace brings in Nagy, but by then Pace was in his 4th year of the rebuild, so rightfully so go 12-4. The rebuild should've been over. Then they follow that up with back to back 8-8s and a 6-11 and both Pace and Nagy are gone. I still can't believe they fired Lovie after going 10-6. Outside of his first season as HC, Lovie's worst season was 7-9. It was never the defense, it was always the offense, they couldn't get the OC right. I miss those years.

I would say we are already at 3 this year, that is why it feels so bad already. Hail Mary in WAS, GB blocked FG two weeks ago, then MIN OT game last week.
