Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Ben Johnson

Well, it finally happened. The Chicago Bears dis-organization actually did something that wasn’t disorganized for a change. They let Caleb Williams address the media regarding the report about him not wanting to be in Chicago.

As mentioned prior, I couldn’t blame him for feeling that way. We as fans all these years would understand why a prospect wouldn’t want to play for this team. This franchise has been mirrored in futility these last 35 years or so. The 716 quarterbacks who have played for this team since the early 90’s is acceptable by this team while other teams find it unacceptable.

So here it is. Williams addressed the media and admitted this was the story. He was very well-spoken and didn’t come off insulting. He told the truth and handled the situation as well as anyone could.

I am not one to be optimistic. As said before, I am a realist. With that, what I saw last year from Caleb made me really believe this guy is the real deal. He had some amazing throws in some shitty situations. He lead multiple would-be game-winning drives in his rookie year. At least four games could have been won because of him and instead, wasn’t due to coaches and/or other players shitting themselves. The rest of this team failed him miserably.

It’s time to get down to business. This story is behind him and it’s time to move on. While I am still not optimistic on the offensive line or the team in general contending this year, I don’t believe Caleb will be the issue. The rest of this team needs to grow some balls and help him out. Ryan Poles needs to make sure his moves actually pay off rather than, as history has shown, not pay off. He has a history of drafting and signing busts with Caleb being the exception.

This offensive line remodel needs to pay off. The signings on the defensive line need to pay off. History has shown us that Super Bowl winning teams are made off of drafting cornerstone players and having them contribute immediately. There shouldn’t be any “projects.” Players that are drafted should be starting and contributing immediately. I feel as if I’ve written this shit before and I probably have. But this is the reason why I still don’t believe they will contend. Buying a bunch of veterans through free agency and trading for others isn’t the answer.

Until this team proves me wrong on all of this, this will keep being written.

I know some may want to wait until a few games in to see how things go. For me, it’s “business as usual” with this franchise until they prove otherwise. The faces may change in terms of management and players. But the results, as it’s been since I can remember, have remained the same. I’m over this losing. I am not here for a “I think they’ll go 8-9” like many on the radio have said. If you’re a real fan, you want them to win more. You want them to get into the playoffs and have a legitimate chance to contend. Again, we’ve yet to see this on a consistent basis.

As it usually goes, another “fuck you” goes out to Roger Goodell for adding more games and continuing to produce “overkill” by having Christmas games as well additional international ones. Fuck him and anyone else who contributed to that.

Now, onto the schedule. Where do they win? What about the losses? Last year, I had them at 7-10. Way too generous as they went 5-12.

I know some may find me insane for this. But really, four wins is all I see. Cowboys, Saints, Giants and on the last game of the season, Lions. And I say that because I feel the Lions will rest some players as they would be preparing for the playoffs. And of course, I see them finding a way to lose about four other games just like last year.

But hey, if this team wants to make me look stupid by getting into the playoffs and winning the Super Bowl, they can feel free to.
