👀 at Teven Jenkins at RG. He sets up, helps inside with the DT, then spies Nick Bosa trying to go under Borom’s block at RT, so he gives Bosa a pop before leading the way for his scrambling QB.
#Bears
Andy Dalton made $3 million last year with the Cowboys.
But Ryan Pace, Matt Nagy and the Chicago
#Bears
decide he's worth at least $10 million in 2021.
If Matt Ebrflus is the defensive genius he's made out to be, he should be able to impart plenty of wisdom on Justin Fields on how to attack certain coverages and how defenders think.
#Bears
Justin Fields said he doesn't care about his personal stats or matching the production from Aaron Rodgers on Sunday, all he cares about is winning the game.
#Bears
If the
#Bears
never would have traded Greg Olsen he likely would have held every receiving record in franchise history.
Chicago trading him for a 3rd round pick because Mike Martz’s offensive system was too rigid to incorporate a receiving TE is one of their dumbest moves ever.
The
#Bears
OLB trio of Khalil Mack, Robert Quinn, and Trevis Gipson combined for 9 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 3 sacks (each player had a sack), 5 QB hits, 2 forced fumbles, 1 pass defended, and 1 fumble recovery.
Justin Fields continues to look good in 7 on 7… a TD pass to Montgomery followed by a TD to Mooney, then a TD to Harry. No incompletions through his first two sessions
#Bears
Out shopping with my 14 year old daughter and she said she wants an ugly sweater for Christmas.
We’re walking over to the clothing section to find them, she sees some Packer stuff and says, “there they are.”
Per
@thekapman
, Cordarrelle Patterson has gone to Chicago
#Bears
HC Matt Nagy & asked if he could potentially fill the team’s Tight End position.
#NFL
The NFL fully backs the taunting call made Monday night against the Browns' Cassius Marsh, source says: "The call was the definition of taunting, with the player gesturing toward the sideline and opponent."
Matt Nagy confirmed that the refs told him that Cole Kmet was flagged because he threw the ball at the player.
#Bears
Which was a 100% bullshit call by the
@NFLOfficiating
.
Ryan Poles is just gonna hope his cornerback draft picks work out instead of paying one that has already shown he can play.
Refusing to pay veteran homegrown talent leaves a team in a constant state of rebuilding.
#Bears
corner Jaylon Johnson has requested a trade, per source. Chicago granted permission to search for a new home before today’s trade deadline. The player and team negotiated a new contract last week but couldn’t come close to a deal. So, a talented corner is now available.
The Marc Trestman era in Chicago was from 2013-2014, so I’m just assuming all these
#Bears
fans that are saying the Matt Nagy era is worse than what transpired under Trestman are like 8 or 9 years old.
Packers fans wanted Vic Fangio until the Bears resigned him, then said they never wanted him.
Packer fans wanted Kyle Fuller until the Bears matched, then they said the money was too much.
Packer fans wanted to trade 2 1sts for Mack, but now say the Bears gave up too much.
I don’t want to see Matt Nagy and the
#Bears
put together some special set of plays just for Justin Fields.
Justin Fields isn’t some gimmicky player, he’s a goddamned quarterback, so just let him play quarterback.
#Bears
head coach Matt Eberflus just said he will NOT call the defensive plays.
He believes it is more efficient for the head coach to be focused on the entire team and not just one side of the ball.
The
#Bears
could trade back to 2 so the
#Texans
have their pick of QBs, then trade back again with the
#Colts
so they can get their QB...
So many options now for Ryan Poles.
It would be great if Mitch Trubisky rose to the challenge of Nick Foles being added to the roster, learned the offense front to back and executed it flawlessly when he got on the field, and forced the
#Bears
to franchise tag him after the season while working on a long term deal.
Nick Kwiatkowski led the
#Bears
defense in tackles with 9, plus he had a sack, a forced fumble, 2 tackles for loss, and he had a special teams tackle too.
This screen pass from Justin Fields to David Montgomery kind of got lost in all the excitement of the
#Bears
win, but what a good play by fields in adjusting his arm angle to get the ball to D-Mo, then a nice strong run by him to get the first down.
Before today's game, the
#Eagles
had held all opposing QBs to a 76.3 passer rating, the lowest in the
#NFL
, with the best starting performance against them coming from Ryan Tannehill, who had a 97.0.
The
#Bears
' Justin Fields put up a passer rating of 119.5 against them today.
The Chicago Bears are in desperate need for a football savvy mind to be atop their franchise.
It's not Ted Phillips, it's not Ryan Pace, it sure as Hell isn't George McCaskey.
This entire franchise needs an enema.
The
#Bears
hiring committee now needs to recuse themselves of the situation and allow new GM Ryan Poles to hire his guy at head coach and an assistant GM.
#Bears
defensive backups Nick Kwiatkowski (ILB), Roy Robertson-Harris (DL), and Nick Williams (DL) combined for 19 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 5 tackles for loss, 5 QB hits, a fumble recovery, and a forced fumble.
Charles Tillman was ROBBED of a few additional Pro Bowls because of the idiotic narrative that he was a "system" cornerback thanks to Lovie Smith's Tampa 2.
Peanut was a complete corner and there's no question in my mind be belongs in the

#DaBears
Anyone suggesting the
#Bears
should draft a QB with their first pick, then having him and Fields compete, then trading the loser of that hypothetical QB battle for draft picks, is 100% football stupid.
I don't understand fans that are afraid of the possibility that the
#Bears
offensive coordinator will develop into a head coach candidate and get hired away.
If that happens that means they are winning and Justin Fields is thriving.
Next play caller up will keep it rolling!

@Oakley
just announced that they’ve signed
#Bears
QB Justin Fields to their team, joining other
#NFL
players like Patrick Mahomes II, Lamar Jackson, Derwin James Jr., and Jalen Hurts.
#Bears
UDFA linebacker Jack Sanborn had 5 tackles on defense, 1 tackle for loss, 1 interception, 2 pass defended, 1 fumble recovery, and 2 more tackles on special teams.
Someone needs to tell George McCaskey that if the
#Bears
clean house and hire a new coaching staff, it will get them off the list of teams that the NFL could force to do Hard Knocks.
The
#Bears
faced Matt Eberflus’
#Colts
defense in 2020 and he held Matt Nagy’s offense to just…
Actually, forget it… everyone held Nagy’s O in check so why even bother taking that statistical dive. 😂
#Bears
GM Ryan Poles said Gervon Dexter was asked to read and mirror in college which is much different than the one-gap technique he'll be doing in Chicago.
#Bears
head coach Matt Nagy declining to answer who will be calling plays is a cowardly thing to do.
If it truly is still him, then he needs to be held accountable if it sucks again, but if the flow of the game improves and it is Bill Lazor, then Lazor should get the praise.
If Larry Borom is healthy and has no ill affects from covid, there's no reason to not start him at right tackle. Throwing Germain Ifedi out there does nothing.
But you know... Nagy gotta get Ifedi his Seattle revenge.
Please fire this
#Bears
coaching staff into the sun!
In the first game of Kyle Long’s
#Bears
career he showed an attitude that made me become an instant fan, and while it’s possible his career in Chicago is over, I’ll continue to be a fan of his where ever he goes.
I think the
#Bears
should sign Roquan Smith to an extension as soon as possible, because if they wait until the end of the season that price will be even higher.
Khalil Mack dominated this game with 8 tackles, 1 sack (plus another on a failed 2-point conversion), 1 TFL, and his usual stellar play against the run and in creating opportunities for his teammates.
#Bears
I will not temper my expectations. I will not be cautiously optimistic. I will not stop myself from being excited.
There’s something special brewing at Halas Hall.
There’s a different energy around a lot of
#Bears
fans.
Don’t fight it.
Enjoy it.
I’ve never understood how fans can be upset if their favorite team doesn’t win with enough style points.
I’ll take an ugly win over any type of loss every time.
But if you want to be pissed about a W, that’s your prerogative.
I asked Rivera about icing the kicker in the second quarter and he very transparently admitted he did it to help the Bears. He knows they’re trying to find a kicker.
Packer fans: “Bears defense wil regress since they’re changing coordinators!”
Same Packer fans: “Packers offense and defense will be better now that we have new coordinators!”
#Bears
rookie Roquan Smith led the team with 10 tackles. He also had a pass defensed. He’s over 100 tackles on the season.
If only he would have showed up at training camp.
I remember how nasty some of you all were about this kid waiting to get his contract right.
If Matt Nagy did hand over play calling to Bill Lazor, then Nagy's ego is out of control by not announcing it.
If Nagy elected to keep himself as the play caller, then his ego is out of control for not recognizing a change is needed to get the
#Bears
offense on track.
#Bears
head coach Matt Nagy declining to answer who will be calling plays is a cowardly thing to do.
If it truly is still him, then he needs to be held accountable if it sucks again, but if the flow of the game improves and it is Bill Lazor, then Lazor should get the praise.
I'm convinced that anyone suggesting a professional football team would demote the head coach down to a coordinator has never actually followed the game of professional football.
Justin Fields said his o-line played “great” on Sunday vs the Lions, and said the only sack they allowed was his fault for not checking the ball down to the flat faster. “I’m proud of those guys.”
#Bears
GM Ryan Poles said he was not impressed with the
#Bears
o-line he was inheriting, and it looks like he plans to re-make the unit as much as he can.
Teven Jenkins will start somewhere, and Cody Whitehair will likely be a starter due to his contract. The other 3 spots will ne new.
The
#Bears
pass protection allowed 0 sacks and only 1 QB hit today against the Vikings.
This was the first time in Mitch Trubisky's career that he wasn't sacked.
There isn’t a doubt in my mind that the
#Bears
OL will be better in 2022 when compared to the OL from 2021.
The offensive scheme will be better in 2022 than the Nagy experience from last year.
Justin Fields will have a better grasp of the pro game & the pass pro for year 2.
Two years ago the
#Bears
opened the season with these six wide receivers; Kevin White, Kendall Wright, Markus Wheaton, Deonte Thompson, Josh Bellamy, and Tre McBride.
