You talk so much about Caleb Williams and the offensive rightful so but no talk about the defensive as took a huge step back as well there's other team's in the league where the offensive isn't playing so well and the defense is
The Bears are the only organization that could create such a disastrous losing and finger-pointing culture! The sad part is they don't show any shame. Bears fans need to boycott buying tickets and force these buffoons to sell the team to someone who actually gives a damn about winning!
Zero chance they're selling a multi Billion dollar a year business because fans don't like how they make their money. The Bears are Ran more like an attraction. This is the business Model. Make max money by spending less. Wins and Touch downs is not the reason who own a football team.
I think the Jets did a pretty good job too. Losing does that to a team. At least the Bears are not ok with being shitty. For some teams that's their culture. See Panthers, Jets, Washington last year, Giants.
They have the right to own the team but they should definitely give up running the organization and all the hiring immediately. Way too many years of letting down the Chicago Bears fans 🏈
Every week same comment. They will never sell this fricken team as long as fans keep following them and giving them money. They will have to lose half the fan base and then some before selling it.
@ but coaches do put together schemes / motivate men to play football / teach the players the game by watching film throughput the week / oh and calling timeouts too lol so do u have a clue or just in here yappin if u can’t see the issue don’t comment ur a clown
The game against the Vikings wasn't even competitive. It's time for the Bears players to start looking at themselves instead of blaming everybody else.
Watching the game as Vikings fans, my wife and I both commented that, "The Bears are beat." Not score wise, but mentally. Players shuffling around between plays with their heads hung and dispirited.
100% agree with you. I am happy to see that you are a realistic Vikings fan. Too many of them are happy with this win. I would not be happy with this win if I were a Vikings fan. The Vikings should have won this game by a minimum of 30.
Ya it’s bad and the fact we’re going thru this when we thought the drought was over is even defeating for the fans I can’t imagine how the players feel
It ain’t the front office’s fault that Caleb cannot identify a wide open receiver, or that he overthrew Keenan a couple of times! First do your job then if you still can’t win try harder!
Idk why they don’t have passing plays in the 1st half. Do they not trust him? Is he scared? No reason to have only 5 passing attempts at the end of the 1st qtr and only 9 passing attempts at the end of the first half.
What do I want from this season? I want to get as close to that 5th pick in the draft as possible. The higher the draft pick the better its trade value. With a terrible free agent class on the horizon, this team needs to grab as many players from this draft class as possible with multiple holes in the trenches. Get the highest pick you can so you can trade back.
Just goes to show Coaching matters and ownership matters. I have ZERO faith in George and the McASSkeys staying OUT OF THE WAY. Let Poles hire the next head coach without Warren or a 'committee', but George just can't help himself. GM needs to be married to the coach. Mark my words, George will eff this whole thing up. He'll be involved with hiring the new HC and then cut ties with Poles. Ownership is a joke.
Who I am calling out: D'Andre Swift: Being 47 years old and 300 lbs, I could just as effectively get 1-2 yards up the middle every time. He is one of the biggest reasons the Bears are in 3rd and long, one of the biggest reasons we cannot score on the goal line, and why we cannot convert 4th and short. Caleb: I mean, C'mon man, you had guys wide open at 10 yards over the middle. Troy Aikman is saying "Not just open, but WIDE OPEN". And it happened all night. GET RID OF THE DAMN BALL. Rome: Bad drop in the end zone on a very catchable ball Allen: Amazing sideline catch once. Horrible drop a few targets before that. Kiran Amigadie: Multiple penatlies, allowing blind-side blow by's leading to fumbles. (Never draft Ivy League) T. Brown: Weak play calling all night Tez: Where have you been all damn season????? Poles: All of the above, and I cannot mean it more. (And this is where I have finally turned on you, for sure)
That’s what I’m saying last I checked players create plays and win/lose games.. I can’t believe the amount of accountability the whole city is placing on management 😂😂 hilarious
Great reporting & information! Enjoy the content and all the detail you've put together! It's been a disappointing season for the Bears, but I'm not out on Caleb or Ryan Poles as of right now. The bright spot is that Caleb can use this season as a great learning experience and to put a chip on his shoulder to never have a losing season again. That's the hope at least. With Poles, I still stand with him. His contributions, although far from perfect, have been more positive than negative. Caleb needs a no nonsense HC and a good play caller for next year. Given time and the right coaches around him, Caleb Williams can be an elite QB with long-term success. Otherwise it'll just be another loop in the cycle that has become the Bears HC/QB situation. Let's go Bears!
Dude! Caleb COULD BE good. But, he's not going to be in the league long if he doesn't learn to get rid of the ball. There is ZERO EXCUSE for some of the crap he's doing. It's like he's doing it on purpose. Honestly, it's so bad, I would rather just see interception at this point. It's freaking embarrassing.
There we were, in the off-season, getting all giddy about the new additions and possibilities for this team. There was so much positive coverage by the media. The team's future looked bright! Then we go 4-0 in the pre-season. We were also featured on HBO's Hard Knocks, which felt special. There was a sense in the air that we were on the right track. We continued to get our hopes up as we went 4-2 to start the season, with those losses being win-able games. Chicagoans were finally starting to get happy about having a quarterback. Then came the Hail Mary, and the rest was history. Another losing season for the Chicago Bears. Go figure... And you know we're going to go through the same hoopla next year, no matter the GM, no matter the HC. But now I know not to get my hopes up. Now I know just how bad things can get, no matter how optimistic the season seems to be going.
THE PLAYERS ARE UPSET DOES THE FRONT OFFICE THROW BALLS WITH NO TIMEOUTS ON THE CLOCK THAT A TEN YEAR OLD WOULDNT THROW OR DROP BALLS OR MAKE WILD THROWS AND CANT READ DEFFENSES THE GM SHOULD GO FIRST FOR DRAFTING THIS PHONY
Stop with the top 3 picks this upcoming draft. You can put a team of ALL 1st rounders and we'd still see the same results. We need a game changer starting at the coaching position.
Everyone talking trash about DJ but wasn't saying it last year when he was over 1000 yards .... He's frustrated because Caleb hold the ball when guys are open
Need a coach to play to the players strengths example if you know your O Line struggles leave a Extra TE or Lineman in the game at all times and move the pocket and run the ball and Short Yardage use a Bigger Back
I do want the season to be over,but I would like to see the team stay together and just keep getting better. Get more chemistry, work there butts off and prove that they belong.
3 things stood out to me. 1 Caleb is freaking out when he has a "clean" pocket and looking to get out of there too soon (that is a product of getting sacked over 50 times) 2. Tremaine Edmunds sucks as a middle linebacker, maybe move him to the Sam or Will, I don't know but he can't play the Mac. 3. Our safties play in outer space and have NO clue when to come up and make a play. Side note: Alot of times our WRs are ALL running routes at the same depths, all going deep, all running 10-15 yard crossers, or all running 5 yard routes, I just don't get it. Whoever is the next HC has their work cut out for them. There is talent on this team and more talent coming thru free agency and the draft, they HAVE to get this HC hire right, they just have to. 🐻⬇️✌️✝️
Caleb stands there looking at wide open receivers, and taking sacks instead..They have too keep throw screens because Caleb has no accuracy down field. Getting better? Guys with less weapons are blowing it up. While the generational talent has to build to it..
But the overall blame goes to Ryan Poles for putting Caleb in this situation in the first place. How do you bring in a rookie and expect him to have success behind this sucky o-line? Then pick Odunze at 9! I’m not saying those players aren’t good or that they’re busts, but we need o-line! We should have kept Justin, traded down from 1st overall, drafted a lineman, then Jared Verse, signed 2more lineman in FA, and Derrick Henry instead of Swift. Then in 2025, if JF still struggled draft a QB then because now you have an elite/to better than average o-line that you can put a rookie behind. And I don’t know who’s fault it was that we didn’t sign Harbaugh but Poles should’ve fought tooth and nail to get him as the Bears Head Coach!
The problem is, the 2025 qb draft class is historically weak, and the consensus was that Williams was a generational talent. In hindsight, Daniels would have been the better pick, but it's likely that he wouldn't have flourished in the toxic environment that is the Bears either. At this point, I say they should trade Williams for whatever draft capital they can get, go with Bagent (he might actually end up being really good), and go into rebuild mode yet again.
@ if the oline would be a priority and Poles and Henry would have that talk, he would’ve definitely signed. Plus a lot of players respected JF for his running ability. And back then we had one of the best running attacks. So why wouldn’t he want to come here?
@ to be a legit contender you need an elite o-line. If Poles addresses this in the offseason we would be much better than we are now. And if Henry sees that, he signs with the Bears and agrees to be in a fantastic running duo with JF behind an elite line! And we are winners. Instead, we drafted a qb and a wr and the qb is getting destroyed and the wr’s dad is bitching cos his son doesn’t have better stats!
What else would you have Moore do ? He plays wideout,running back,gets double teams, plays hurt, sounds off honestly about everything. Oh and he blocks too.
It’s very surreal how we got to this point. Hard to imagine based on how hard they worked on the roster. We need to emphasize how we hire coaches more than anything this off-season. Once that is in place, we will at least be in the mix of above average teams. One $16 million dollar salary for an experienced top coach is the price of one top player, but that one coach affects all 53 men in the locker room to bring out their best talents more than anything. Its worth it!
At this point with all the drops, missed tackles, missed blocks, and general body language the players need to step up. The lack of execution is abysmal. The coaches can’t play the damn game for you
The Bears have had a leadership deficit since they let Trubisky go. The franchise doesn't really value leadership. Caleb might be the leader they need, but he's clearly not ready, and probably shouldn't have been starting this season.
What I would like to see Fire Poles, he could have made this team contenders this year. But he wanted to get his Q.b., so instead of trading back and giving Fields a chance. Could of got the haul, and got O.line help, and some good weapons for Fields.
First of all quit putting all the blame on the owners. Williams sucks, takes to long to get rid of the ball. Men open for dump offs that he don't see because he is afraid to run. And when he sees a man open it's to high, wide, short. If he wants to win he better start improving. Gave up 14 points last night because of terrible throws. The line can't hold or expected to for 7-8 sec. But not to worry, in two years they will draft another quarterback.
How do u not speak on Caleb holding the ball forever and missing makable throws and making bad decisions...i get the o line is trash but lets not act like Caleb has played perfectly.
Sit him and Kenan Allen down for the next 3 game's. Allen not coming back so play Tyler Scott get his speed out there let's see what he can do these next 3 game's. Play Tyson Bagent and let Caleb sit and learn from the sideline watching Bagent get rid of the ball quicker. There is nothing for Caleb to play for beside getting hurt.

If he slowed himself down mentally, he could have flipped it to the back for the 1st Drive4: 3&out*free 1st with penalty 3rd down, Rome slightly over ran the hole in the zone but Caleb hesitated causing it to be too late Caleb finally takes his underneath pass to Kmet for a 14 and a 1st 3rd&medium, Caleb scrambles for the 1st while everyone was covered.

Not a good throw by Caleb. Room to run if he keeps it in bounds -3rd&11, Kiran false start -3rd&16, Kiran illegal man down field (soft, 1.5yards) Vikings had this exact flag picked up but much more egregious Drive8: -Caleb takes a check down finally for 5 yards -Caleb holds the ball too long on screen (2.5sec) allowing defenders to rally -sacked on 3rd down (2.5sec), sent 5 with no hot reads in routes Drive9: TD pass -Hot throw but poor throw to Allen, behind him causing him to be hit and drop it -Caleb checks to max protect and makes a nice escape and throw to Allen for 1st -Another hot read 0-coverage to Allen, good throw but dropped -Caleb checks to max protect but they bail and Rome drops a great throw in the end zone -Inaccurate fade ball to Allen, back shoulder was there -Steps up in the pocket with a rifle to Allen for TD
@ I work from home but my gf makes fun of me for taking these notes. I don’t have a channel or anything so it’s just for myself and whoever decides to take time out of their day to read. I played for 13 years so it drives me crazy watching bad football
At the end of the day no matter how bad the front office is you still gotta come out and play football and if you don’t play well maybe they’re just not that good enough of players on the team..
This team is a reflection of the ownership. I would love a change in ownership but don’t see that any time soon. I think you have to tie a new coach and GM together. I would love a combined team that aggressively pursues smart move in free agency and strengthens both sides of the line asap. Go Bears!!
So now the players are blaming the front office. First, they blame the OC. Then they blame the coach. Now it’s the front office Those young men need a mirror
My great great grandpa who fought in the civil war remembers accordingly to my father, remembers that the lakefront home of soldier field was a native American Indian burial sight. Might have something to do with the Bears not being warriors in the NFL? 😮
Doug Kramer also fumbled the ball at the goal line situation earlier. Time to let him go. Coaches certainly did not do their job to get this team ready. However, Caleb also has to show some responsibility. Two issues - lack of decisiveness (where to go with the ball) and lack of accuracy. He looks deep first and always misses the underneath easy completion. Not sure how's taught about progressions. But his accuracy issue is troubling. The game has not slowed down for him which is troubling for his development. Need a new coaching staff next year.
His stats means nothing! Frankly you all read way too much into stats. I'd rather have a QB with 2300 yards, 15 TDs than a QB who just stand around taking sacks. Caleb's inability to let the ball fly is far more concerning than his lack of field accuracy.
Leave the upper management out of the game plan...let the coach/staff do the planning....and just play the game. Build a stronger offense/defensive line.....just play the game....
The Chicago Bears have been rebuilding for the last 35 years. Dj Moore needs to realize that "this is where wide receivers go to die." Who wears Chicago Bears jerseys?
Think about it as a bears fan every single year.We think this is going to be the year and we're smarter than that.Aren't we?We know they have the same playbook where they go and run up the middle on third and long every coach.It's like it's a mandatory play from mccaskey.I don't understand it
When are the players going to look at themselves? Players taking accountability for mess ups each week is getting tiring and thinking that covers them is stupid. They are paid millions of dollars to perform, dropping balls that hit their hands, overthrowing wide open receivers, or not reporting in when required is not a coaching, general manager or owner problem. Those levels have their own problems but they don’t play during the game.
Is the front office dropping balls! Is the front office over throwing receivers! Is the front office not telling the officials their Not checking in!!it's about Damn time we start holding the players accountable!!!!!
I will give Poles one more chance assuming he doesn't get fired. I completely agree that the trenches he has built are pretty bad, but hey he did use a first rounder on Darnell Wright. He's added a ton of talent, and if we can flood the trenches with top tier players in the 2025 draft, then very well it could all come together pretty quickly. Also isn't it spelled frustrations 😏
Yeah Caleb needs to take more responsibility for his trash play over throwing receivers and the inaccurate passes plus holding on to the ball way to long. He is not that guy. Couldn't beat a top 20 defense or a top 20 team in college football. I was never sold on all the hype the put on him. Plus he was bad at reading defenses. Go and actually watch those games and stop just watching highlights.smh
Like this video if you want this season to be over, along with commenting 1 wish you have for the rest of the year
Did you announce the winner of the jersey? I fell asleep instead of watching that bs…
If only we could beat the Packers it would make us feel somewhat better.
Caleb Williams played bad
You talk so much about Caleb Williams and the offensive rightful so but no talk about the defensive as took a huge step back as well there's other team's in the league where the offensive isn't playing so well and the defense is

@sevinbamuels6560 that's because idiots that think like you do are the reason the McKaskys stay in the business.
Tge Packers player, coaches and front office all blame themselves when something goes wrong. Its the opposite in chicago
Not true. The Jets and Giants and a few others are going through the same thing.
I think the Jets did a pretty good job too. Losing does that to a team. At least the Bears are not ok with being shitty. For some teams that's their culture. See Panthers, Jets, Washington last year, Giants.
This franchise is partially responsible for my drinking habits and seasonal depression.
As my dad said with the skins, now he’s sipping that bourbon and enjoying the games 😂
McCaskeys have no business owning the bears or running the bears organization
Facts
I think the government should come in and take away ownership from the McCaskeys and give the Bears to someone else
They have the right to own the team but they should definitely give up running the organization and all the hiring immediately. Way too many years of letting down the Chicago Bears fans 🏈
Make too much money to sell.
Every week same comment. They will never sell this fricken team as long as fans keep following them and giving them money. They will have to lose half the fan base and then some before selling it.
We need a whole new coaching staff on both sides
Facts
WE NEED TO BLACKOUT EVERY GAME NEXT YEAR... UNTIL McCaskey sell the damn team
Coaches Don’t throw or catch the ball. Coaches don’t make tackles. Get a clue.

You are correct. This team never recovered from the embarrassment in Washington.
Their body language says it all.
It ain’t the front office’s fault that Caleb cannot identify a wide open receiver, or that he overthrew Keenan a couple of times!
First do your job then if you still can’t win try harder!
At the start of the season, I did curb my enthusiasm, but this year is much worse than I expected.
Liar
@MrFunkiness why are you calling me a liar? Who the fuck are you?
"Caleb had an okay night."
plays like shit for 2 or 3 quarters of every game and then starts to "Light It Up" in the 4th!!!!!
Idk why they don’t have passing plays in the 1st half. Do they not trust him? Is he scared?
No reason to have only 5 passing attempts at the end of the 1st qtr and only 9 passing attempts at the end of the first half.
Kind of like Darnold this game. In fact, most QBs are like that. The good ones show up in the 4th quarter.
@@andrewadami3920 yeah, the good ones never play well or take big leads in the first half. never.
Josh Allen in the first half this year: 65% 1800 yards, 11:4, 97 rating.
Yeah, the great QBs decide to not do anything in the first half. Derrrrr 🙄
HE IS THE KING OF GARBAGE TIME JUST LIKE BEING IN PRE SEASON VANILLA DEFENSE
Another blown move by POLES HAVING KRAMER DO THE FULLBACKS JOB WHEN WE RAN MUCH BETTER WITH A FULLBACK
Owner really don't care about us fans just they bottom line money

T. Brown: Weak play calling all night
Tez: Where have you been all damn season?????
Poles: All of the above, and I cannot mean it more. (And this is where I have finally turned on you, for sure)

Using DJ Moore, a top 15 WR in previous years, as a Running Back, is absolutely preposterous.

Keep fighting and playing hard boys we will get this thing turned around go bears
All they can do
Great video!!
Thank you!!
Hopefully we can get through these last 3 games without any damage physically or mentally that doesn’t carry over to next season

I would like to see the offensive coordinator teach Caleb Williams go through his progression and take what the defense gives him
How was the front office responsible in any way for last nights loss let alone a player not reporting as eligible, that makes no sense dude, cmon!
The Bears probably needed to prioritize the offensive line last offseason but they got cute and focused on receivers.
Agreed
3 things stood out to me. 1 Caleb is freaking out when he has a "clean" pocket and looking to get out of there too soon (that is a product of getting sacked over 50 times)
2. Tremaine Edmunds sucks as a middle linebacker, maybe move him to the Sam or Will, I don't know but he can't play the Mac.

Side note: Alot of times our WRs are ALL running routes at the same depths, all going deep, all running 10-15 yard crossers, or all running 5 yard routes, I just don't get it.
Whoever is the next HC has their work cut out for them. There is talent on this team and more talent coming thru free agency and the draft, they HAVE to get this HC hire right, they just have to.

Lots of good points here!
Caleb stands there looking at wide open receivers, and taking sacks instead..They have too keep throw screens because Caleb has no accuracy down field. Getting better? Guys with less weapons are blowing it up. While the generational talent has to build to it..
It’s bad
But the overall blame goes to Ryan Poles for putting Caleb in this situation in the first place. How do you bring in a rookie and expect him to have success behind this sucky o-line? Then pick Odunze at 9!
I’m not saying those players aren’t good or that they’re busts, but we need o-line!
We should have kept Justin, traded down from 1st overall, drafted a lineman, then Jared Verse, signed 2more lineman in FA, and Derrick Henry instead of Swift. Then in 2025, if JF still struggled draft a QB then because now you have an elite/to better than average o-line that you can put a rookie behind.
And I don’t know who’s fault it was that we didn’t sign Harbaugh but Poles should’ve fought tooth and nail to get him as the Bears Head Coach!
The problem is, the 2025 qb draft class is historically weak, and the consensus was that Williams was a generational talent. In hindsight, Daniels would have been the better pick, but it's likely that he wouldn't have flourished in the toxic environment that is the Bears either. At this point, I say they should trade Williams for whatever draft capital they can get, go with Bagent (he might actually end up being really good), and go into rebuild mode yet again.
Derrick Henry wasn't signing with the Bears. Come on.
@ if the oline would be a priority and Poles and Henry would have that talk, he would’ve definitely signed.
Plus a lot of players respected JF for his running ability.
And back then we had one of the best running attacks. So why wouldn’t he want to come here?
@@elicantu1939 because he wanted to sign with a legit contender. I mean come on dude….
@ to be a legit contender you need an elite o-line. If Poles addresses this in the offseason we would be much better than we are now.
And if Henry sees that, he signs with the Bears and agrees to be in a fantastic running duo with JF behind an elite line! And we are winners.
Instead, we drafted a qb and a wr and the qb is getting destroyed and the wr’s dad is bitching cos his son doesn’t have better stats!
Thanks for this analysis. This team has been such a dissapointment, hopefully we get back on track this off season.
The amount of wide open guys Caleb missed last night was criminal almost.
wait, we're wanting to throw the ball down the field? we literally can't with the o-line.
Bro, he isn’t throwing it even when guys are open
What else would you have Moore do ? He plays wideout,running back,gets double teams, plays hurt, sounds off honestly about everything. Oh and he blocks too.
It’s very surreal how we got to this point. Hard to imagine based on how hard they worked on the roster. We need to emphasize how we hire coaches more than anything this off-season. Once that is in place, we will at least be in the mix of above average teams. One $16 million dollar salary for an experienced top coach is the price of one top player, but that one coach affects all 53 men in the locker room to bring out their best talents more than anything. Its worth it!
Totally agree Rob!
Good thing we didn't trade back, get a better qb, more Oline help, and future high picks. That would have been dumb. But at least we got Caleb. Yay
Who would have been the better QB? Just curious.
@@andrewadami3920 Daniels, Maye or Nix, maybe even McCarthy.
Yes...good video Nic🐻⬇
At this point with all the drops, missed tackles, missed blocks, and general body language the players need to step up. The lack of execution is abysmal. The coaches can’t play the damn game for you
It’s so bas
The Bears have had a leadership deficit since they let Trubisky go. The franchise doesn't really value leadership. Caleb might be the leader they need, but he's clearly not ready, and probably shouldn't have been starting this season.
Agreed!
What I would like to see
Fire Poles, he could have made this team contenders this year. But he wanted to get his Q.b., so instead of trading back and giving Fields a chance. Could of got the haul, and got O.line help, and some good weapons for Fields.
The Bears are who we thought they were.
First of all quit putting all the blame on the owners. Williams sucks, takes to long to get rid of the ball. Men open for dump offs that he don't see because he is afraid to run. And when he sees a man open it's to high, wide, short. If he wants to win he better start improving. Gave up 14 points last night because of terrible throws. The line can't hold or expected to for 7-8 sec. But not to worry, in two years they will draft another quarterback.
I wonder what À-rod is going to do since "he owns da Bears!!!" 😂 Hopefully he cleans house..😂
They gave DJ $80M but he can’t get open and catch the fucking ball because no one’s leading him?
How do u not speak on Caleb holding the ball forever and missing makable throws and making bad decisions...i get the o line is trash but lets not act like Caleb has played perfectly.
No doubt he needs to throw it sooner
Spot on!!! Just let it be over!!
Sit him and Kenan Allen down for the next 3 game's. Allen not coming back so play Tyler Scott get his speed out there let's see what he can do these next 3 game's. Play Tyson Bagent and let Caleb sit and learn from the sideline watching Bagent get rid of the ball quicker. There is nothing for Caleb to play for beside getting hurt.
Da Bears: Where quarterbacks go to die😞
No, they've never had any quality ones that were actually smart since Erick Kramer
Honestly just get out of this horrible season with nobody hurt
How did we get worse by losing eberflus?

Drive3:

2nd&9, Kmet missed block in the hole off of a good check by Caleb which should have been a HUGE run and maybe a 60yard TD

Drive4: 3&out*free 1st with penalty
3rd down, Rome slightly over ran the hole in the zone but Caleb hesitated causing it to be too late
Caleb finally takes his underneath pass to Kmet for a 14 and a 1st

YOU TOOK ALL THESE NOTES!? WOW!
@ I work from home but my gf makes fun of me for taking these notes. I don’t have a channel or anything so it’s just for myself and whoever decides to take time out of their day to read. I played for 13 years so it drives me crazy watching bad football
At the end of the day no matter how bad the front office is you still gotta come out and play football and if you don’t play well maybe they’re just not that good enough of players on the team..
This team is a reflection of the ownership. I would love a change in ownership but don’t see that any time soon. I think you have to tie a new coach and GM together. I would love a combined team that aggressively pursues smart move in free agency and strengthens both sides of the line asap. Go Bears!!
Calab still holding the ball too long! He needs a good QB coach to help him get better.
So now the players are blaming the front office.
First, they blame the OC. Then they blame the coach.
Now it’s the front office
Those young men need a mirror
My great great grandpa who fought in the civil war remembers accordingly to my father, remembers that the lakefront home of soldier field was a native American Indian burial sight. Might have something to do with the Bears not being warriors in the NFL? 😮
Tyson bagent should start. He makes more intelligent decisions.
Doug Kramer also fumbled the ball at the goal line situation earlier. Time to let him go. Coaches certainly did not do their job to get this team ready. However, Caleb also has to show some responsibility. Two issues - lack of decisiveness (where to go with the ball) and lack of accuracy. He looks deep first and always misses the underneath easy completion. Not sure how's taught about progressions. But his accuracy issue is troubling. The game has not slowed down for him which is troubling for his development. Need a new coaching staff next year.
Horrible…. Just three left… thank God!
My wish; Let Caleb hit 3k passing yards and sit him. Don't let him get killed.
His stats means nothing! Frankly you all read way too much into stats. I'd rather have a QB with 2300 yards, 15 TDs than a QB who just stand around taking sacks. Caleb's inability to let the ball fly is far more concerning than his lack of field accuracy.
When he was leaning over on the bench because right before that he got his ribs hit hard .
Give me a break. Justin Herbert played with fractured ribs for 5 games
There is talent on this team! It needs to grow and be used correctly! I don't find much fault in Poles work.
Leave the upper management out of the game plan...let the coach/staff do the planning....and just play the game. Build a stronger offense/defensive line.....just play the game....
You’re a generational talent right? Burrow took the worst OLine to the SB.
Now Burrow has a better line and can't make postseason. Weird....
Pretty embarrassing for the players to blame everyone but themselves
It's been brutal watching them this season
The Chicago Bears have been rebuilding for the last 35 years. Dj Moore needs to realize that "this is where wide receivers go to die." Who wears Chicago Bears jerseys?
Think about it as a bears fan every single year.We think this is going to be the year and we're smarter than that.Aren't we?We know they have the same playbook where they go and run up the middle on third and long every coach.It's like it's a mandatory play from mccaskey.I don't understand it
Bears-fans … we may be looking at a tear-down, again.
Did you see anything last night that you’d like to see next year?
DJ had a career year and numbers last season with Justin and oh he wishes Justin was still on the team.
Not much players can do about owners.
Kramer not reporting was brutal. Icing on the cake.
So stupid
What a shame. 😢
So bad
When are the players going to look at themselves? Players taking accountability for mess ups each week is getting tiring and thinking that covers them is stupid. They are paid millions of dollars to perform, dropping balls that hit their hands, overthrowing wide open receivers, or not reporting in when required is not a coaching, general manager or owner problem. Those levels have their own problems but they don’t play during the game.
Warned you after the Hail Mary Commanders game, young man!
How can we try putting in the white quarterback please?
What happened to the goal winning super bowl
Is the front office dropping balls! Is the front office over throwing receivers! Is the front office not telling the officials their
Not checking in!!it's about Damn time we start holding the players accountable!!!!!
O line
Probably an unpopular comment but could it be possible that the team has personality issues with Caleb Williams ?
Who actually liked Aaron rodgers?
Bingo
I'm fed up as well year after year always the hype n we end up with a loosing season
I am so tired of this team. So many high school football mistakes. Just beat Green Bay so I have something to cheer about.
I feel bad for all the players who signed extensions hahahahahahah
We need a really strong minded coach to come in here and turn this team around they need to be motivated
I was pretty big on Vrable until I heard his top candidate for OC is Josh McDaniel. That instantly took me off the Vrable bus.
🎯
I don't expect the Bears to win again. That's ok. We need a great draft to shore up the trenches.
Just beat GB
Bench the quarterback now 0 and 8 that a fax ps 4 and 10 not good
I will give Poles one more chance assuming he doesn't get fired. I completely agree that the trenches he has built are pretty bad, but hey he did use a first rounder on Darnell Wright. He's added a ton of talent, and if we can flood the trenches with top tier players in the 2025 draft, then very well it could all come together pretty quickly. Also isn't it spelled frustrations 😏
I don't blame any of them ,they need to express there feelings and frustrations
Yeah Caleb needs to take more responsibility for his trash play over throwing receivers and the inaccurate passes plus holding on to the ball way to long. He is not that guy. Couldn't beat a top 20 defense or a top 20 team in college football. I was never sold on all the hype the put on him. Plus he was bad at reading defenses. Go and actually watch those games and stop just watching highlights.smh
