Rants and Raves 2024 Edition

So Alexia notified me today:
The Bears "toss play" playing duties to Thomas Brown.
I didn't even know sarcasm was that bitches thing.

I don't care what they do offensively. They could put a hat on a hat and draw the plays in the dirt, but they can't continue to operate like they have been. The current method of operation seems to lead to too many presnap penalties and total miscommunication.

 

I won't be upset if Caleb and his dad start talking shit about this organization in the offseason. I won't be upset if he demands a trade, in fact it might even increase my respect for him. He's gotta do it before he's fully ruined. I know I'd probably do that.

And I won't be upset if college QBs start pulling Eli Mannings and refuse to sign with us.

 

I am really tempted to go down to the sportsbook and put a tidy sum on the Packers moneyline. It's the only way I see the Bears winning, if I bet against them. WA state blocks apps like BetMGM so I actually have to go drive to an Indian res if I want to do it though heh.

The problem is MLF is just a better coach than Flus, full stop. A win will be despite him, if it happens.

It would be more fitting though for Flus to show his true colors and get a 50 burger hung on him, at home, vs the Hated, and the chants in the stands of "FIRE FLUS" will be LOUD.

 

The most impressive thing about him to Eberfuck was the thing that got him fired after 9weeks. You couldn't write it.

 

I mean we can see it with our own eyes multiple times during a game. The last sack Williams took in Az when he was visibly hurt and limping off the field, not only did Moore show zero empathy or concern, he virtually shoulder checked him on the way past!

Drop any nonsense narratives that this is due to not wanting to play with a rookie(Williams has already played more NFL games than Bagent anyway), or that he isnt seeing the ball enough(the guy played 4years in CAR!). This is clearly personal. These two do not get along and we've got a half season of evidence telling us that DJ Moore is incapable of leaving it on the sideline and just being a fucking professional!

IF Moore is the one calling for Bagent, and its as likely as anyone if not more so, then i dont know how you repair that. Its a big problem. And no, im not enjoying a single part of shitting on DJ Moore, its hugely disappointing how things are going with him. But if we're really gonna boil it down, DJ Moore is not the thing that matters most on this team, developing the QB is and if he's gonna actively try to get in the way of that, which he's def done on the field already and might be off it too now, then he is gone if im GM.

Id be sitting the guy down and having a v honest conversation. Do you want to be on this team? If the answer is yes then there needs to be an immediate attitude improvement cos its about to get you benched. If the answer is no then you've got half a season to put down tape that will help you do that. Cos im not trading you on the cheap and the alternative is spending the best years you have left, on this team, and wallowing away in misery.

 

Could it be that Uberfail hires coordinators eg Waldo over Kingsbury it's not done in the better interest of the team but in the better interest of his own job? He's swung and missed so many times with all his coordinators/coaches what else could it possibly be? 10 coaches/coordinators in 2.5 years, I wouldn't entrust him to pick his nose. The dude is insecurely incompetent, and the only thing he has going for himself as a head coach is he doesn't wear a visor, and that's fucking it!

Why only 50? If they're going to fail, let them fail Uberly. The problem is this is a game they'll probably pull out of their ass and win.

 

Eberflus is incompetent. The fact that he hired an OC because he put together a good presentation is fucking awful. And what the fuck is Poles doing? Is he not in that meeting with the potential new OC? Was Poles also wow'ed by a good powerpoint and some buzzwords?

Not a serious football organization. Through and through.

This looks like the All-22 of that play, and I’m just as confused. You have 3 guys on the top there, Kmet even comes open, but they are….decoys? Kmet is free because the the man who would cover him has a free run at the QB, is he supposed to block and he just misunderstood what play they were running?

There is no way those 3 are reads when you have Caleb right left, Kmet goes to the opposite sideline and neither of the others come to the side of the field Williams ran to. I dont get it at all.

 

I really don't want to believe it, but I am coming around that you might be right.

But it doesnt take a genius to see the problem. What you call out Ev is that a coach that has control tells him exactly that, you are here so get onboard. Instead the inmates are running the asylum.

And our fanbase has now devolved into Williams is a bust, which I did miss the past 1.5 games but is that enough to say he’s a bust? Fuck me.

 

Even though it says it's a parody account, think this might in fact be the real Ryan Poles:

 

Loaf ass Nate Davis got cut. Finally—a smart move by Poles. Feels like forever since I could say that.

Ricky Stromberg signed to PS. Top 100 pick a year ago in the 2023 draft that the commies cut after only 4 games last year, but what’s another red flag to the blunder kid GM?

 

Well, the packers $70 million dollar safety sure thinks he quit...(sorry its behind a paywall/the full free article is somewhere on ccs in a megathread but the article headline is literally...'Why Xavier McKinney took aim at DJ Moore to spice up Bears/Packers clash').

This better be an angry DJ Moore game, or he's gotta go.

“I hope so, but I don’t give a damn about what he knows,” McKinney said. “This dude walked out on … I’ve been playing (NFL) football for five years now and I’ve been watching football for longer than that and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a … You’re supposed to be the guy and you’re just walking off the field. You’re walking off the field on a rookie quarterback that you’ve been praising, so it’s like, that’s a whole other story.”

McKinney isn’t buying Moore’s ankle injury justification, either.

“Cap,” McKinney said. “That’s what I say. Cap.”

Why Xavier McKinney took aim at DJ Moore, spicing up Sunday’s Bears-Packers clash

 

Bleacher report and Ben Albright are now both implying Bagent’s dad is the leak source. Silvy apparently said it was Bagent’s dad on radio too.

 

Silvy said that? But this is what he said on Twitter:
x.com

I mean, I believe Bagent's crazy dad is the source, but as far as I know, it's all been speculation. And Silvy was the only one who "reported" it.

 

If we take BR guy serious, his post about Waddle/Silvy (small yellow blurb) said he blunted it out unintentionally on air that it was Bagents dad. Now whether that’s true or not, or twisted context—I don’t care enough to dig and listen to a two annoying radio hosts to find out.

I see the response…and while I can be wrong—Silvy has really worsened than the idiot he’s always been (to me he’s always been a Chicago homer who picks favorites then never criticizes or blames them even when it’s deserved), taking points and hosting shows with barstool folks to prop up a dying old institution of AM radio—who I can’t fathom how people enjoy a bunch of loud frat sports betting bros, and he’s really buddy buddy with Bagents dad and cohosts shows with the guy.

Wouldn’t put it past him to realize an ‘oh shit’ moment on damage control. But on the other hand it may be circumstantial. I’m biased, but we really won’t know till Sunday when we see what effort the bears bring.

 

If I was still a gambler I would put money on the Bears this week, and one of the lessons I learned long ago was never put money on or against the Bears because they'll ruin you, always. How many times have we seen this (Groundhog Day effect) play out? An embattled head coach fighting for a shred of dignity and winning a game they have no business winning. If there was a game they win they shouldn't let it be this one, but then there's a part of me that wants to see Uberflush gasping for air like someone has a boot on this throat and then watch this shit show implode, and they have no choice but to break tradition and let this motherfucker go midseason. Until they either sell the team or break the cycle this shit is on rinse and repeat.

 

He has been very critical of the Bears over the years including the McCaskeys, even though his station is now the Bears radio network.

That aside, if it's true that this rumor came from Bagent's dad this is almost a cuttable offense. You all know I like Bagent as a backup but this organization is toxic enough, don't need to make matters worse because of the fucking backup QB.

 

I hate being a sports fan. I know full well the Bears are going to get dominated this weekend. This is the rational part of my brain that has seen this team play this year, and for the past decade. I know it.

But then I am a fan, so I start thinking stupid shit like, "well, Waldron WAS bad, so maybe the offense will produce more? There is usually historically a bump when you fire a coach for at least the next game. The Packers aren't even good and Love has looked like absolute ass at times this year! Even the Jets could beat the Patriots once in a while, even the BEARS have won games against them". But this is all fools gold. It's like playing the lottery. I talk myself up to stupid shit like this because I am a fan of this god forsaken team. Even tuna up there is pointing out they might win just on the basis it would be bad for the Bears to give Everlose a shot at keeping his job. Beating the Packers would make us 5-5, and maybe then they can squeak out 2 more wins, is that enough to save Flus? I would hope not, but I'm also not George McCaskey, or Poles, or whoever is really calling the fucking shots here.

Caleb is now embattled too, with post after post I've read calling him a bust, etc, etc. All the more reason he might show up in "Jags" like fashion right? I HATE BEING A FAN OF THIS TEAM.

 

Varder like most Posters on this thread you have been a long time Chicago Bears Fan.....so what is the alternative ?

Cheer for the Chicago Blackhawks......lol

I'm going to game tonight in Vancouver and looking forward to seeing Conner Bedard........(Vancouver Boy) .....thank god I only live 10 minutes away from the Arena because Vancouver is Crazy busy right now.

The # 1 NHL draft pick is in town and Vancouver is Hosting the Grey Cup tomorrow.

Too bad you did not drive up here and watch Chicago because I would have bought you a Beer.

Good Luck tomorrow vs the Hated Packers.
