I love the totally normal act of asking a celebrity to take a picture with you in public and proceeding to make fun of them once you post that picture.
I really thought Justin Fields would be the one QB the
#Bears
couldn’t ruin.
But they did. He’s a shell of his former self. The confident superstar we saw at OSU is gone. Hell, the dynamic runner we saw last season is gone.
This organization has totally neutered him.
Great point from two former players: If Jordan Love wasn't playing well, the defensive players especially (like Jaire who gassed Love) would not be coming out and supporting him the way they have.
The
#Bears
have never fired a head coach midseason.
But if you keep Matt Eberflus after losing 31-0 at halftime - and a 3-17 record through 20 games - what message are you sending to the fans? To the players? This is simply unacceptable.
If the
#Bears
keep Justin Fields at QB…
Washington trades up to No. 1 to jump the Patriots for their QB1. Chicago gets No. 3, a 2025 1st, and their own 2024 second-round pick they gave up for Montez Sweat.
Bears take Marvin Harrison Jr. at 3. Boom.
SOURCE: A legitimate concern NFL teams have with Kentucky QB Will Levis is his “deathly fear” of milk.
I’ve been told he screams in terror at even the sight of milk, let alone the taste. “It impedes his daily tasks,” source said. “I’m worried how he’ll fit in an NFL program.”
SOURCE: Taylor Swift attended Sunday’s Chiefs-Bears game as part of an elaborate scheme to shield her romantic affairs with
#Bears
LB Jack Sanborn.
Though many believe Swift attended to watch her “boyfriend” Travis Kelce, she was secretly there to cheer on the 23-year-old…
You can only make so many excuses for Justin Fields at this point.
The pocket presence is simply not where it needs to be in Year 3. Not even close.
#Bears
.
@CourtneyRCronin
asked Justin Fields if he feels he has improved this season with his downfield vision.
Fields identified a strength of his as a player in his response.
"I mean, to be honest, I feel like deep balls just in general, I feel like is kinda what I do best to be…
The
#Bears
can’t get a compensatory pick for Kyle Fuller. They weren’t able to trade him.
Ryan Pace just cut a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback in his prime and got nothing out of it. This is how bad NFL teams are run.
See the difference between Foles and Trubisky is Foles would've stood still and gotten sacked, Trubisky moved around a little in the pocket and then got sacked
The
#Bears
will have $121 million in cap space next year and 9 picks in the first two rounds over the next 3 seasons.
AND they don’t have to decide whether to pay their QB big money after just one season as a starter.
Rome Odunze:
• Had a Brian Urlacher jersey as his first NFL jersey growing up
• Favorite player to watch was Devin Hester
• Is friends with Caleb Williams and has worked out with DJ Moore and Keenan Allen
He’s practically holding up a sign that says “Draft me,
#Bears
”
Alright. Let’s have the Justin Fields conversation.
He’s definitely not the main issue for the
#Bears
right now. The OL is terrible, the DL is nonexistent, and the coaching staff is awful.
But what I’ve seen today from Fields doesn’t move the needle in the slightest. It’s been…
"I'm gonna remember this for the rest of my life."
- Justin Fields talking to
@Amanda_Balionis
about hearing WE WANT FIELDS chants raining down from
@ChicagoBears
fans
In the last 3 days,
#Bears
GM Ryan Poles has added:
• DJ Moore
• Tremaine Edmunds
• T.J. Edwards
• Nate Davis
• 2024 first-round pick
• 2023, 2025 second-round picks
Still more work to be done. But this is a huge step in the right direction.
If the
#Bears
decide to draft Caleb Williams AND keep Justin Fields, I’ll pay a random person who likes this tweet $100.
That’s how confident I am it’s not going to happen.
The
#Bears
have never fired a head coach in the middle of the season, let alone this early.
If there’s any time for them to break that streak, though, it’s now. Matt Nagy is not the answer.
If Bryce Young is a Hall of Famer and Justin Fields doesn't work out, I'll admit I was wrong.
That said, I'm riding with Fields as the
#Bears
QB and won't change my mind at all this year. I'd much rather trade back and give JF1 an actual chance with a better roster to work with.
Realistic trade for the
#Bears
🔥
Commanders receive:
• No. 1 pick
Bears receive:
• No. 2 pick
• No. 36 pick
• No. 40 pick
• 2025 & 2026 first-round picks
• 2025 & 2026 second-round picks
• Jonathan Allen
• Terry McLaurin
Let Poles cook 💯 you heard it here first ‼️
The
#Bears
are running a 4-3 defense rooted in Tampa-2 without the necessary star 3-technique DT.
They’re running a zone-heavy defense with two press-man CBs.
They’re running a rigid offense with a QB who’s better out of structure.
It’s like the staff is trying to get fired.
DJ Moore just scored in training camp 😳
He caught the “ball” with his “hands” on a slant route from Justin Fields
The wide receiver “ran” the ball in “for” a “touchdown”
#Bears
fans better be ready for him this year 🔥
This trade could change the trajectory of
#Bears
history as we know it.
Ryan Poles got premier draft capital and a true WR1 in DJ Moore. Now, you invest heavily in OL/DL in free agency. What a perfect situation this is playing out to be for Chicago.
Absolutely terrible news that
@DickersonESPN
has passed away. One of the best
#Bears
reporters on the beat.
My heart breaks for his 11-year-old son, who lost both parents to cancer in the span of 2 years. Incredibly tragic situation.
This is a special throw by Justin Fields.
The deep touch and arm strength is obvious, but what I like is how he sensed pressure and climbed the pocket. He’s struggled there in the past, but not now.
#Bears
This should be the end of the Matt Eberflus & Luke Getsy era in Chicago.
I doubt the
#Bears
fire Flus, but all momentum they had heading into this game went right out the window. They looked neutered against the Packers. What else is new?
Matt Nagy is not a good NFL head coach, and I don’t think that’s up for debate.
That said, he is a good person and shouldn’t be compared to Urban Meyer under any circumstances. Meyer is insurmountably worse than Nagy.
#Bears
#Bears
WR DJ Moore has 27 catches for 534 yards and 5 touchdowns so far this year.
He's on pace to finish the season with 91 receptions, 1,815 yards and 17 touchdowns. Superstar.
In the wake of this Dwayne Haskins news, I also feel terrible for Mitch Trubisky and his Steelers teammates down in Florida right now.
They’re just there to bond and play football, and one of their teammates dies in a horrific accident. Hope they get the support they deserve.
No matter what happens, I can’t help but feel bad for Justin Fields.
He got drafted by a HC-GM regime that was desperate to win now when that wasn’t possible, and mortgaged the future to try (and fail) to save their jobs.
Year 2 was doomed to fail from the start. The
#Bears
…
If
#Bears
QB Caleb Williams stays healthy all 17 games and has:
• 0.65 touchdowns per game
• 130 passing yards per game
• 65.8 completion percentage
• 15 starts
• 82.1 passer rating
He’ll break every rookie QB record in franchise history.
I genuinely hope Tarik Cohen gets another shot to play in the NFL.
Even putting football stuff aside, what he’s been through the last few years speaks to how strong of a person he is. Rooting for him to get a chance.
If the
#Bears
cut or trade Kyle Fuller, they will save $11 million in cap space for 2021.
You know what would’ve made it easier for them to keep Fuller? Not signing Andy Dalton for $10 million!
If Justin Fields keeps up this level of play, it’s obviously great for the
#Bears
, but it gives them way more offseason flexibility, too.
Round 1: Marvin Harrison Jr.
Round 1: Jared Verse/Dallas Turner
Round 2: Sedrick Van Pran
FA: Chase Young
That would be a lot of fun.
I've never experienced anything like this in my life.
Not only do the
#Bears
have a good quarterback, but they have a potential superstar at QB with a competent offensive scheme around him. This is so surreal.
Sean McDermott with Josh Allen. Brandon Staley with Justin Herbert.
Defensive coaches can succeed with young QBs. Just because Matt Eberflus is a DC doesn't mean Justin Fields is screwed.
#Bears
The
#Bears
will be spending a combined $17.3 million in dead cap on Nick Foles, Andy Dalton and Jimmy Graham this year.
If that isn't a sign Ryan Poles inherited a mess, I don't know what is. Give this rebuild some time.
Also worth noting:
#Bears
LB Roquan Smith surpassed Brian Urlacher's career-high total in tackles today and now has 157 tackles this year.
He's 32 away from Dante Jones' franchise record, but Roquan now has the 2nd-most tackles in team history.
With Matt Eberflus as HC, the
#Bears
OC job becomes one of the hottest gigs in the league.
You have play-calling autonomy and get the chance to develop Justin Fields. If Fields becomes a stud, that's a guaranteed HC job for that coach down the line.
The
#Bears
trading Roquan Smith for a second-round pick and immediately getting strong LB play out of UDFA rookie Jack Sanborn is looking like a major W for Ryan Poles.
Dick Butkus was the epitome of what a middle linebacker should be.
He was the hardest-hitting and nastiest player every time he stepped on the field. RIP to one of the greatest
#Bears
, but also one of the best pure football players of all time.
If Rome Odunze is as good as I think he is, there's a very real chance the
#Bears
have three WR1s on their roster right now.
That's a fucking scary thought for the rest of the NFL.
Current
#Bears
offensive weapons around Justin Fields:
• DJ Moore
• Darnell Mooney
• Chase Claypool
• Cole Kmet
• Robert Tonyan
• Khalil Herbert
• D’Onta Foreman
• Travis Homer
Are there better groups? For sure. But Chicago FINALLY has a respectable group of weapons.
Nobody expected the
#Bears
to be a SB contender this year. Ryan Poles inherited a mess, and this was always going to take time.
But this play is laughable. They've somehow gotten worse after being the worst team in the NFL. If that's not an indictment on this whole org, what is?
With the Titans winning, the
#Bears
have moved back up to the No. 5 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
So they beat an NFC North rival, they're only one game within a playoff spot, and their draft positioning didn't even change. Dream scenario to come from this week.
Trey Lance is the third-best QB on the 49ers with a great supporting cast who's started 5 games in 3 years, and some people still believe he'll be a franchise QB.
Yet the
#Bears
should move on Justin Fields even though he's making plays with a bad offense? Make it make sense.
Bill Polian is almost 80 years old and projected MVP Lamar Jackson at WR, but he's the only one involved in the
#Bears
' HC/GM search with a football background.
That's where we're at as a franchise right now.
