Since it appears the
#Bears
are done for the day, I'll go ahead & throw my UDFA tracker up for later. It'll be pinned to my profile for the time being, too.
As always, if you see someone I missed, tag me in the tweet & I'll get it up.
Justin Fields made one mistake (on the fumble) & this coaching staff took the ball out of his hands. They called 2 pass plays (of 11 plays) on what could/should have been the game winning drive.
I don’t need to see anything else from this coaching staff. They are bad.
#Bears
A serious organization would look at the entire season. They would see a team that started off 0-4, blew 3 different 10-plus pt 4th quarter leads. They would see that 1 of their wins came against a playoff team & they would fire this coaching staff into the sun tomorrow.
#Bears
To have this good of a team & be cost advancing in the playoffs by a kicker that missed a total of 10 regular season kicks...
Honestly, I’m just speechless. Trubisky goes for 300 yards in a playoff game & Parkey costs them a win.
Excuse my language by that’s fucking brutal.
Hires a defensive minded HC, despite having a young QB. Defense is one of the worst in the league & their QB hasn’t developed.
About as much of a worst case scenario as you could ask for through 19 games if you’re the
#Bears
.
@justnfields
@RapSheet
Thank you for everything, Justin. You made some really awful teams feel exciting. You were dealt an impossible hand but hopefully your career flourishes under Mike Tomlin. Nothing but love & respect.
Won’t lie, I’m not sure I would have ever fully recovered from the
#Bears
trading what the Broncos did for Russell Wilson & getting this type of return.
This is quickly trending as the single worst trade in NFL history & it might not even be close. Holy hell man.
Weird to say but over his last two games, Mitchell Trubisky is playing the best football of his career.
No clue what the hell happened but this has been one wild turnaround.
Needs to finish strong but every
#Bears
fan should be happy about this.
I can see why the
#Bears
never even bothered to interview McDaniel. He would have been wayyy too cool for the current ownership group. Especially with Bill Polian heading up that search. Lmao.
They’ll scapegoat DC Chuck Pagano & pretend to make some changes. Ryan Pace will make more aggressive off-season moves & put this team further in the hole for the future. Matt Nagy will continue to call plays with no accountability.
Buckle up
#Bears
fans. Enjoy mediocrity.
Ted Ginn Jr. should be cut first thing tomorrow. He’s absolutely useless offensively & has zero interest in fielding a punt. There’s zero room for that on any team.
#Bears
I also think that we can all agree that Matt Nagy was back to calling plays in full today.
Back to primarily inside zone runs, minimal rollouts & rarely took shots down the field.
Ego is a serious issue with Nagy, IMO. I’m convinced of it.
#Bears
Fuck Tyreek Hill & if you continue to support the guy, fuck you too.
Punching his pregnant GF & now breaking his 3-year-old’s arm, among other abuse.
Absolutely disgusting. There’s no place in our society for anyone like this, especially on the football field.
Kyle Fuller went from being damn near cut/traded heading into the 2017 off-season to:
- A big 4 year contract signed in March.
- Led the league in INTs.
- Made his first Pro Bowl.
- One of four
#Bears
All-Pro selections.
Absolutely unreal turnaround for the former 14th pick.
The
#Bears
are in the midst of an extensive rebuild. Yet, they’ve taken no steps (IMO) to try & be aggressive or develop their quarterback.
I can handle the losses. I can handle the bad play. I cannot handle poor coaching that refuses to take any chances with nothing to lose.
What’s most frustrating to me is that through 2 games, it seems like the
#Bears
simply don’t trust Justin Fields to throw the ball.
The rain is one thing but this week, he has 9 pass attempts through 55 minutes of a regular season football game. Why?
Dragging out tweets from a 15 year old Kyler Murray?
This is where we are at now?
I would LOVE to be able to put these people digging this stuff up, under a microscope & put all their mistakes on display.
He was 15. Kids say stupid shit. End of story.
The
#Bears
played both SB teams this year. Dominated one & lost to the other one by 1 yard.
Nothing is given in the NFL on a year to year basis but I feel damn good about this team’s future.
Justin Fields is sacked, fumbles & the ball is kicked out of the back of the end zone for a safety.
Another signature loss for the
#Bears
under Matt Eberflus.
If this organization had an inch of backbone, they’d fire Eberflus tonight. But they won’t.
Kinda crazy that the entire NFL world is United on how bad the officiating crew screwed the
#Bears
last night. Don’t see that very often but goes to show how bad it really was.
I understand what it *means* to bench Trubisky but it’s time. He’s awful.
The guy is overwhelmed, uncomfortable & bluntly put, incompetent.
Chase Daniel at least can play QB with some confidence & competence. Enough is enough.
#Bears
Seriously though. Bravo to
#Bears
GM Ryan Poles for stepping in, calling a presser & addressing the Roquan Smith issue.
That’s something we have not seen from a Bears GM in a LOOOOONG time.
#Bears
QB Justin Fields accounted for 255 of the team’s 288 total yards. That’s 89% of the team’s total offense that went through its QB. It would have been even more if not for that horrible block in the back call.
This team needs weapons & a better OL.
Caleb Williams has been one of the first guys texting every new draft pick & now reacting to UDFA signings. Like I tried to tell some of you back in January, there was a lot of untrue bullshit out there about Williams' character. We're already seeing different.
#Bears
Justin Fields is bad. No way around it. Realistically, he should fall to exactly No. 20, so that stupid team in Chicago can take him & have to suffer even more...
#Bears
Is going to throw this out there-
Remember it’s a game. I’m pissed, you’re pissed, we’re all pissed.
With that being said, don’t act stupid to Cody Parkey. Please. He’s human & again, it’s just a game.
He should be cut & I bet he will be. Leave it at that.
#Bears
The entire 2019 Nationals season has been pretty incredible.
They lose Bryce Harper. It looked like they were about to be sellers, then go on a big run & are now 3 outs away from winning a World Series in which they didn’t win a single game at home.
Pretty wild.
Luke Getsy is a master of just completely losing his shit in the 2nd half of a football game. You have no true RB in the game & you were throwing the ball all over the field. Stop being cute. Let your QB win the game.
#Bears
So far, Tremaine Edmunds has not remotely lived up to his price tag. Meanwhile, Roquan Smith continues to be elite in Baltimore.
If you can’t make a guy like Roquan Smith work in your defense, it’s time to re-evaluate.
#Bears
It’s still crazy to me that the
#Bears
coaching staff can rely on Justin Fields for 3+ quarters to make plays with arm & legs but when the game needs to be put away, they continue to take the ball out of his hands.
I’m so tired of the pure incompetence of this coaching staff.
I'll go to my grave thinking the
#Bears
severely failed QB Justin Fields. With that being said, I'm not sure there's a route "back" for Fields at this point beyond this year.
You'd very likely be talking about his 3rd NFL coaching staff on top of everything else.
#Bears
GM Ryan Poles trading a guy he was most likely going to cut next year for a 4th round pick is a win. Especially for a rebuilding team. Also saves them even more money next year.
Is Chuck Pagano better than Vic Fangio? Probably not.
Is he a good replacement that can not only keep the defense playing at a high level but develop young talent? Absolutely.
#Bears
did good to land Pagano. I firmly believe that.
You’re about to find out how serious the
#Bears
are about winning.
There are no moral victories here. They single-handedly gifted the Packers a playoff spot.
The offense sucks. The defense failed the test… again.
It’s always the same story against meaningful teams.
I’ve said multiple times that Mitchell Trubisky isn’t the answer at QB long-term.
But benching him with 3 minutes left in the middle of a primetime game where he wasn’t even an issue?
Bad form from Matt Nagy. This move says everything you need to know about Trubisky’s future.
Maybe I’m reading this wrong but how can Getsy criticize Fields for throwing it deep to a rookie when he’s the one who designed the play & had Scott on the field running that deep route?
For a coaching staff that preaches accountability, they fail to take any themselves.
#Bears
#Bears
OC Luke Getsy on Justin Fields throwing to Tyler Scott on third-and-9 and not DJ Moore over the middle: "I think that’s all part of your growth and when you’re going through those types of situations, you always want to factor in who people are, that’s always matchups are…
For some reason, the
#Bears
seem comfortable allowing a fringe caliber HC re-hire both coordinators after miserably failing to get it right just two years ago.
The Bears way, ladies & gents.
I’m going to make my feelings as simple as possible:
If the
#Bears
are keeping Matt Eberflus, they 100% NEED to keep Justin Fields. I don’t care who the OC is. You cannot risk continuing the same cycle of bullshit with drafting a QB with a HC going into a lame duck year.
Today is yet the 18th example of why this coaching staff is not it. They come into a game against a defense that blitzes more than any other team in the league. What does Getsy do? Not move the pocket. Not give his rookie RT help. Nothing. Just straight drop backs.
#Bears
Matt Nagy simply doesn’t know how to adjust his play calling. Your OL is getting killed. Switch it up. Get Fields out of the pocket. Do something.
#Bears
At some point you just have to laugh.
We’re all
#Bears
fans & have suffered through some of the worst seasons in franchise history.
Despite being around for 100 years, they still have yet to find a QB worth anything & continue to break hearts.
Sports man...
I said this before the start of the season & I’ll say it again. No excuses for Trubisky anymore. Plain & simple.
He either figures this shit out soon or Ryan Pace better figure out how to not blow a competitive window due to an inadequate QB.
#Bears
#Bears
have THREE prime time games in the next four weeks.
Just think about that for a second.
We're going to find out exactly who this team is & the rest of the country will, too. Welcome back to relevancy.
You’ve got a defensive head coach that has received 5 of the 6 biggest FA contracts handed out in 2 years. Oh, he’s also got 5 picks in the 2nd & 3rd rounds in that time too. Yet, that same unit has given up 31 defensive points today to an offense missing its top weapon?
#Bears
I’m glad the Packers won tonight.
The
#Bears
have won 4 out of their last 5 games. It appears that Matt Eberflus is all but safe. This team is trending in the right direction & playing good football.
Best way for one final measuring stick? Go beat the fucking Packers.
IF the Carson Wentz sweepstakes is down to the Colts & Bears, you better believe the reaction will be vastly different depending on who he goes to.
Ballard will be “smart” if they land Wentz & Pace will be laughed at if the Bears do.
It’s just the laws of the land.
I know they won’t & it probably wouldn’t even be logical but I’d fire Matt Eberflus tomorrow.
We saw the same mistakes all of last year in a “tank year”. Seeing them again this year equates to him just being bad at his job.
#Bears
Fields made two throws that should have been TDs & neither Pettis nor Mooney can make a play.
Dude guts out a rough game, gets them down to the 5 with his legs & nobody can make a play.
This looks like a bad team, lacking difference makers & trying to find ways to win.
#Bears
Ryan Pace getting fired in 2022 after he goes all out this off-season with Carson Wentz, Zach Ertz, JJ Watt & tagging Allen Robinson while leaving them without a 2022 first round pick & $100M over the cap.
#Bears
The entire team has quit.
#Bears
are a dumpster fire that somehow keeps getting worse & we’re halfway through Week 3.
The McCaskey family better have that escrow account ready because there should be a lot of folks being paid not to be here by January.
#Bears
official “magic number” for a playoff spot down to 1.
Their “magic number” to clinch the NFC North? 2.
All they need is another win or Redskins loss & they will book their ticket to the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
THE BEARS ARE BACK!
Cue Matt Nagy saying the same repeated bullshit in his presser tonight. Can’t run the ball, can’t protect the quarterback, can’t score touchdowns but he’ll feed us the same BS like any of his words hold weight.
Defense is good. Offense is bad. Same shit, different year.
#Bears
The quicker Packers fans realize that there’s not a thing they can say to Bears fans that will impact their delight from last night’s game, the better it’ll be for them.
Honestly amazed at how many people are glossing over Trubisky’s 2nd half.
Second straight game with 300+ yards & had 3 TDs as well.
INT hurt but guess who else throws interceptions that is a young QB? All of them. Trubisky showed a ton of promise today. Don’t overlook it.
Lack of picks aside- If you told me the
#Bears
would come out of this draft with Justin Fields & Teven Jenkins, I would have laughed you out of the room. Yet, here we are. Chicago with a pair of first round talents in their back pocket.
I still cannot believe the
#Bears
were able to land both Roschon Johnson AND Tyler Scott in the 4th round yesterday. Both guys were consensus Day 2 talents.
Then adding both Noah Sewell & Terell Smith as depth pieces in Round 5.
Ryan Poles cleaned up yesterday, man.
Meatball take or not, I'm all for Robbie Gould reuniting with the
#Bears
for the final stretch of his career this off-season.
He struggled before he left but he's been nails since he left.
Cut Parkey, eat the money & bring Gould back.
The
#Bears
have the most cap space in the league by a wide margin & hold the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.
This is about as “best case scenario” as it can get for a 2nd year GM.
I’ve never wanted the
#Bears
to lose a game so badly in my life. I really hope Ryan Poles & Matt Eberflus can both see the bigger picture here.
1 game won’t make or break Justin Fields’ development but a torn ACL could drastically change next season. Be smart, please.
#Bears
are getting clowned by a contender that’s missing it’s starting QB, RB & TE. All of this at home.
Sorry to be “that guy” but the Bears aren’t good & it’s going to take a lot to fix this.
I’ll only speak for myself but I’m readjusting expectations.
Here’s my final take(s) on the Roquan Smith situation:
1. Big win for Ryan Poles as a 1st year GM to stand his ground.
2. I still think Roquan gets paid if he plays at an elite level this year.
3. Roquan really needs an agent.
#Bears
I’ve seen some really shitty football teams in my day. Never in my life have I seen a team like the
#Bears
find different ways to lose games the way that they do.
If Ryan Poles truly believes this team is “close” & Eberflus is the “guy”, he can GTFO too.
