Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Ben Johnson

Being congested and exhausted these last few days, I simply went to do other shit immediately after the Bears found yet another way to lose. But as I went back online and saw one of the local websites, video of Tyrique Stevenson taunting fans AS THE BALL WAS SNAPPED was shown.

And apporpriate it was that he tipped the ball that lead to the team losing. And because of him, he cost this entire team the season.

So if Ryan Poles gave a shit about this franchise, he would cut this dumbfuck NOW. By Monday morning, if he isn’t cut, it is further proof that Ryan Poles is an abject failure at this job.

We’re waiting.

As soon as the Bears let Jayden Daniels get that easy pass to midfield with a few seconds left, I knew it. I knew they were going to win it there.

This kills the season. This is where the tailspin begins. It’s all dominoes falling for this fucking franchise.

Jayden Daniels or Marcus Mariota, it doesn’t matter. The Bears will have their hands full.

What do you know? IF the playoffs were to start today, the Bears would be in that coveted consolation-prize playoff spot (seventh seed). That being said, they didn’t get much help while off. Sure, the Vikings lost to the Lions on a late field goal. But the Texans pissed all over themselves allowing the Packers to kick a field goal as time expired.

The Seahawks and Eagles also won and thus, tightening up the playoff race even more.

So while the Bears still have a chance at the division, their best way in is with the Wild Card.

Your thoughts below.

As expected, getting into the playoffs will be extremely difficult for anyone contending. Outside of the Vikings and Lions, every team has at least two losses. Even with the consolation seventh seed, the Bears will have a battle on their hands.

I know it’s *only* six games, but this seems to be the case for the remainder of the season. It’s not a certain that the Vikings will win the division. But appears they are on that trajectory to do so. I would say the Rams and Panthers are done. That leaves seven teams fighting for the consolation prize seventh seed. One of those seven teams are the Bears.

There is little or no room for error. Two of their last wins were against two of the worst teams not just the NFC, but the entire league. But soon, they will be playing contending teams including every team in the division. After the game against the Patriots on November 10th, every game will be against teams fighting for playoff spots. 11 games to go. It’s one of those years where 10 or 11 wins may not be enough to secure a spot. Can the Bears really win eight games out of those remaining? History tells us they won’t because of their track record. Even generally speaking for other teams, that is a difficult task.

The Bears will need some help from other teams to try to get them in. Obviously, they can take care of business themselves by winning eight of their remaining games to get in.

It’s another one of those “they couldn’t get away with this trash against a competent team” games. Yes, I am happy they won. No, I am not satisfied with this. Mainly the offensive play-calling. Thankfully, the referees and defense bailed this team out.

Caleb Williams | Very efficient against a bad team. Four touchdown passes. The interception was shitty. As I said in the previous post, that was on Shane Waldron for the shitty call. It was 3rd and inches. It was so “Bears” that a pass play was called. This shit is fucking annoying. Caleb Williams needs to tell Shane Waldron to eat shit the next time a play like that is called in that scenario.

Shane Waldron | Read above. This guy is a fucking idiot. The game was still in reach for the Jaguars when it was 21-3 and 28-10. I forgot which drive it was in the second half. But the Bears were stopped and a “holding” penalty was called on the Jaguars. I put that in quotations because it wasn’t a penalty and yet, the referees saved them. Then a few plays later on another 3rd down stop, the Jaguars shot themselves in the foot with another holding penalty (that time, it was one). Imagine if they played a team more competent. It would be too close for comfort at the very least.

Defense | “Only” 16 points given up. First drive of the game? Points. Again, this is basically routine for this team and it needs to stop. And I’ll repeat what I said about if they played a more competent team. This defense has yet to stop a real team. We will see in two weeks if they can be better.

Doug Pedersen | I can’t stand this fucking guy. I haven’t since he was the backup for the Packers when I was growing up. Then the playoff game years ago when he coachced the Eagles. Fuck him.

Bye week is next. Then the Commanders on the road. I am going to shower and eat lunch.

Another reason to wish for Roger Goodell to get hit by a bus: Having to get up early in the morning to watch a football game because “we want to expand the game.”

Is he really at it again? We didn’t hear from him for a while. I was hoping George McCaskey put a muzzle on this guy. But there he was in England talking about something that isn’t happening on our dime.

Here he is again wanting to break ground on a new stadium next year.

For the love of God, about $640 million as of two years ago was still owed on Soldier Field. Renovations were done 23 years ago. This means this building should last another 50 years at least. Why are the Bears still asking for public funding? Even the state of Missouri rejected a new stadium for the Super Bow Champion Chiefs.

Maybe Kevin Warren should focus on the job Ryan Poles is doing like a team president is supposed to do. This franchise needs to focus on one thing only and that’s winning a Super Bowl. Enough with this new stadium shit. It’s not necessary. Going to Arlington Heights will be a disaster. Building yet another stadium on the lakefront will be a disaster. There isn’t any fucking room on the lakefront anyway. Anyone who goes there on a random day knows this.

Fuck off, Kevin.

I know. I shouldn’t be down on this game. The Panthers were a M*A*S*H unit going into this game and became even more of one during it. So yes, the Bears should have beaten the piss out of them and they did exactly that.

Offense | Caleb Williams had the best game of his short career. He found D.J. Moore early and often. He had 304 yards on 20/29 passing with a 126.2 rating. Sure, it’s a can of corn against this team. Now do it against teams with top defenses. And the Shane Waldron meeting last week gave me terrible flashbacks of Lovie Smith sitting Mike Martz down many years ago with a “Come to Jesus” meeting. RUN THE BALL. They did exactly that today as well with D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson each getting touchdowns (Swift with two). Also, credit to Cole Kmet for a couple of crucial catches that extended drives. Having a balanced offense isn’t difficult. If Waldron uses some common sense, this team can capable of producing consistently.

Defense | Outstanding. Again, shitty team. But this is what should have happened. And seeing Kevin Byard do what other secondary players that have played for this franchise rarely do by turning around and looking at the ball on that interception was shocking. I’m like, holy shit. Someone actually covered a receiver and looked where the ball was. The defense forced four turnovers with an interception, two fumble recoveries and a turnover on downs. Gervon Dexter has been the best defensive linemen for the team all year. Again, we need to see this against actual NFL teams for me to believe the arrow is pointing up.

The only real negative I saw today were some penalties. Doug Kramer had a clipping call at the goal line in the second half that stopped them from getting a touchdown. There was also one earlier with an illegal shift on another potential touchdown (Kmet and someone else were in motion at the same time). That needs to stop.

Next Sunday is an early morning start for us as the Bears head to London to take on the Jaguars. The Jaguars got thier first win of the season today against the Colts where they put up 37 points. It won’t be easy.

Your thoughts below.

Don’t be fooled. Andy Dalton has been pretty damn good the last two games and when healthy, consistent. The defense should not pull the bullshit of leaving defenders open all over the place like last week. The offense needs to stick to running the ball early and often.
