Being like "we scored 17 points" and saying the offense played well is wild
Isn’t sad that the Bears will not be a contender for another 3 years. Then most contracts will be up by then so it sucks to be a fan. I hope that if they bring Johnson here that he hires Robert Salem for defensive coordinator.. This team not only needs coaches it needs multiple players because I’m wondering is there even enough talent on this team even with a good coach.Poles has made more fk ups then good moves. That’s not ever gonna work. So if there is a great GM out there if I was the McCaskey’s I would start fresh right now they brought Warren in here to build a stadium so if they were smart. They would let Warren do just that. Go find a new CEO and allow that man build the hiring from here on out. They need to fire everyone at the end of the season. Poles had everyone fooled thinking that we had enough players on paper to at least make the playoffs. Not even close how do you bring in backups on the Oline when you at one point in his career he was a Olineman himself. Just don’t make any sense. This team will not be ready for another 3 years but by that time it will be too late.
This “future star” at quarterback managed to score 17 points against a Lions team that has lost almost all their secondary to injury
0:00 my reaction watching the bears lose on every Sunday
BEN JOHNSON IS MATT NAGY 2.0 I DONT WANT SANTAS SLEIGH IN CHICAGO WE CANT ENTRUST CALEB WITH SOMEONE THATS NEVER SHOWED THEY CAN IMPROVE THEIR QB PLAY AT THE HC POSITION.
Ben Johnson will be a failure in Chicago I guarantee it. He isn’t gonna have a top offensive line in Chicago it isn’t gonna work it’s gonna be “I don’t come here to run the I formation” all over again.
Poles should’ve been sent out the door with flus the roster blows after three years. It’s time to go
At this point if we don’t go after Vrabel or someone that’s an obvious outside of George’s comfort zone type of hire then we can expect to be in this same position this time next year
People are more focused on the offense but I really hope that are garbage defense is reloaded because Poles definitely screwed up big time with not signing Roquan Smith. I don’t think we have had a weaker linebackers than we have now. If Poles can get out of the 70 million dollar contract with Edmunds and find an aggressive middle linebacker. Most defenses start in the middle and Edmund’s is a big safety not a linebacker. We are still 4-5 players away on both sides of the ball to become a good team. That’s good that we might have finally found a quarterback but this city has always been known for a killer defense. This will be Poles last season if he doesn’t get us to the playoffs next year. No matter how terrible my team is I will always be a diehard fan.
How can anyone have any faith LOL there’s no faith unless serious change is made at the very top whether that’s selling the team or prioritizing winning and hiring the best coach for the football team and not the coach that isn’t gonna push peoples buttons in the building.
Ryan Pace has done a way better job than Poles. Pace brought alot of talent here and then Poles got rid of everyone just so he thought he was gonna get credit and most of the players he brought in are garbage players. We haven’t had one pro bowler from Ryan Poles that’s a big problem.
Just be thankful you never had a 0 and 16
Your not having Johnson why would you couch a team like that
You guys said the offense was fine. Did you watch the same game I did? The offense scored 17 points against defense with a bunch of practice squad guys thrust into starting roles due to 14 Lions defensive players on IR.
The Bears are a mess of a franchise and have been for a long time. If Ben Johnson is smart, he’d stay far away from that job.
I’m not sure why you’re saying, “This team is talented.” No, they’re not. The most accurate comment was, “Talented teams don’t lose 9 in a row.” Bingo.
As a Lions fan, we would always say things like that. We looked at the players that were playing WR, RB, and DB. Those positions only matter when the players in the trenches are good. Why are the Lions good? The main reason is the offensive line. Three 1st rd picks on the O line.
Football is won from the inside-out. Not the outside-in.
I thought it was Dan Campbell's team? Guess I was wrong and Ben Johnson is the mastermind of it all! We definitely need to get him! 🙄
Lions fan here. Y'all number 1 problem. Ryan Poles. He needs to go.
Keenan has been my favorite receiver in this league for a while, however none of our receivers are man beaters we need a man beater. If you keep keenan u trade dj
The team isnt doing the simple things because they are all trying to make homerun plays to put on tape to get the F out of here. All for themselves right now
Sad Caleb is gonna have Cole on another team. Guy is too stupid to throw to a tight end
