Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Poofters Game Thread

I still feel. That as good as the defense has been this season. A better coach would get more out of this unit. The offense is still a mess. The defense is solid no doubt. No enough to save Flus IMO.

 

Soft ass defense

Fuck you

 

Like I said. This game was important. Bears didn’t show up. That cannot be dismissed.

 

Tomorrow proves how much power Kevin Warren has.

You know the Mccaskey move is to keep Eberflus. So a change at coach proves Warren has the power in Halas Hall.

 

I said at the beginning of the thread the key was the offense. 192 total yards and 9 points? Seems like they all shit the bed today. But based on reading through the game thread it seems the D sucked as well even though they only allowed 17 points.

Needs to be noted that in his first year as a starter Jordan Love has statistically accomplished more than any Bears QB in history.

Mark my words: if we don't trade Fields this offseason it will be the worst move this franchise has made since the Rick Mirer trade, and arguably worse given the opportunities that Poles has before him.

 

FIRE EVERYONE, TRADE FIELDS, FUCK THIS TEAM.

That was fucking pathetic. They WANTED it more. Full fucking stop.

 

When’s the last time this team truly stepped up when it really mattered?

 

Bingo. Nail on the fucking head.

The Bearsiest move at the moment, it so jettison Fields and Getsy, and keep Everlose for a lame duck year to fuck whatever QB prospect we pick up. Book it.

 

2006? In the playoffs anyway to make the bowl. We still shit the bed that year in the final game of the season against the Peckers, that was the 0.0 game? I thin? Too durnk to go look it up.

 

I too am durnk

 

Particularly the offense. When was the last time the offense really stepped up in a massive game? I guess the NFC Championship against the Saints? In virtually every big game since that moment the offense has shit the bed every single time.

 

Welcome back though bud, you were missed.

What do you think the odds are they actually fire Flus? I think there's no chance.

 

Low. I don’t think they fire him. I think they make a change at OC and deflect all blame there.

Because that’s the McCaskey move.

 

Fields: could run a dynamic offense with the right talent and coordinator around him. The Bears have neither, so here we are. Is he a lost cause? I don't know. I do know that it's probably easier at this point to get a new OC and use the #1 pick to take a QB that fits their vision / offense, rather than try to find the OC that fits Fields and can be relied on to call a successful NFL offense.

Getsy: no reason why he should be still employed. None.

Eberflus: you keep Eberflus if you believe in two things:
1) he is the coach that will take the extraordinary talent you have the ability to draft / sign this offseason to the Super Bowl. So far, I can't say that I've seen the kind of decision making or leadership that tells me he can do that.
2) you believe that the defense's performance over the second half of the season is due to his coaching / influence, and not just favorable matchups / bad QB's / etc. Honestly, there's a really good argument to believe in the latter. Additionally, I would hope they'd perform better when the majority of your capital has so far been spent on that side of the ball (in the Poles era)

You cannot keep Eberflus for this season, and then fire him next. Not when you're at such a critical inflection point. If you stick with him, it's because you believe he's the guy, not because you're just giving him another shot next year. Additionally, it's difficult to find the talent you need for the defense that he's running, which makes things that much more difficult for you going forward.

Poles: boy, he's taken some big swings, and hit on about as many as he's missed. It's hard to overlook the disaster that was trading Roquan for a low second and then giving away your top of the second round pick for Chase fucking Claypool. Equally hard to overlook the fact that attention to the trenches was the last thing on his list, and his talent evaluation of the offensive line (supposed to be his strength) was so bad that he came into this season with this interior OL - one that a blind child could tell you wasn't good enough.

Personally, I have never been a fan of his, so I may be biased here. I can't say that the team's performance this year, or the performance of his draft picks, was good enough to convince me otherwise. Yeah, Sweat was a great trade. Just not sure that outweighs everything else.

I'm of the mind that you clean house - everyone's gotta go. I know that won't happen. But Eberflus and Getsy feel like must-fires, at this point. At a minimum, Getsy needs to go. If they come into next season with Poles drafting a QB #1, Getsy coaching him, and Eberflus running the team... I'm going to let my family know that we're just not football fans, anymore. It's not going to go well.

 

I think this is almost certainly what will happen. Spittin' facts, as the youths say.

 

Honestly, if they were gonna lose like that id rather there were a couple more Puker TDs on the board just to make it obvious to the idiots upstairs.

The scoreboard doesnt show it but they got dominated last night. Owned up front on both sides, gave up nearly 450yards of offense while failing to crack even 200 themselves. The cover2 is as useless in the modern game as it was a decade ago. Its 2023 and you can't amass 200yards of offense.

Fields was ineffective and he still drives me nuts holding the ball too long instead of getting it out his hand and avoiding some of these sacks. It wouldn't have changed the result, but Bagent doesnt take all those sacks, thats just the truth.

That said, like so many games, Fields wasnt the reason they lost. He actually came out the game with an above average passer rating. No, this loss goes the same place it has for the last decade, the O-Line and the play caller. I want Getsy GONE. The OL was awful but the injuries didnt really matter cos they lost the worst 2 players on the line anyway. Remember when Jenkins was at RG next to Darnell and he was playing at a borderline pro bowl level? He was bad yesterday and hasnt been good since they moved him to LG. They took their best performing OL and made him worse and the kicker is they did it for an absolute turd in Nate Davis. F this coaching staff so much. They dont deserve to be here, they almost certainly will. And it makes me sick.

Everything ive just written ties pretty directly into the points pat was making to me yesterday. I dont know how you dont take a QB at #1, but when they do that guy will come in and face the same challenges as Fields. The Bears virtually have a chocolate bar with a golden ticket in it this offseason. Watch them fuck this up in the most Bears ways.

Varder already called my shot. They keep Eberflush for a lame duck year before firing him 12months from now, and draft a QB this April who they will immediately start ruining. I dont know what we all did to deserve this team.

 

Happy Black Monday. May it be busy as fuck in Halas Hall today.

Eberflus told reporters last night he and Poles are doing 'exit interviews' today and his meeting with ownership/upper management is later this week.

I hope that expectation changed and the second he walks in, its 'Hard Knocks cut day-style' greeting of 'dont do anything, go directly to the boss' office and give me your badge' type situation. Wishful thinking, but I'll be happy to be wrong with some good news after a long day of bogus work meetings ahead of me.

Rip off this band-aid, cut everybody loose, maximize a trade return (don't care if its ATL, Pittsburgh, SF, whomfuckingever) and start fresh at QB, HC, and OC. This means swallowing a bitter pill and accepting Caleb fucking Williams #1 with no likelihood of multiple future 1st round assets. To recap, what does this team do right? What does this team do well? I don't want to see an outdated defense pick on bottom 10 offenses then get sliced apart by average offenses with a QB who isn't the 3rd coming in GB, who threw up his share of ducks yesterday a good team would have done something about, and the same guy whom the bears once again did nothing to make his day/afternoon difficult.

*Narrator's voice*

The bears will assuredly fuck this up in the most 'bears' of ways.
