Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Ben Johnson

It was just another ordinary day to start. I took the first half of the day to mow my yard and do some stuff around my house. As usual, I have either The Score or ESPN 1000 on my phone as I’m getting work done. I expected more talk about how the Bears are on pace to be the worst team in the NFL again.

But then, shit started happening. Justin Fields was too honest about how shitty the coaches are. Then later on, he calls reporters in to tell them his words were taken out of context. No. The Bears told him to tell the reporters that because they don’t like it when the truth is spoken. This was clearly shades of what happened to Brian Griese in 2007. Griese pulled a “John Elway” and took the Bears 97 yards for a game-winning touchdown against the Packers on a Sunday Night. He said in the press conference that the ear piece in his helmet went out and he called the plays by himself.

The next day, he has a press conference saying he didn’t actually call all the plays. Lovie Smith and Ron Turner were embarrassed that someone showed that it’s 100% their shitty play-calling and not always on the players. Justin Fields should be doing what I have said on this website for years that players should do: Tell the coaches “fuck it” and do the exact opposite of what they say. If they tell the cornerbacks and safeties to play zone, play man coverage instead. COVER YOUR RECEIVERS YOU FUCKING MORONS. Whatever.

This is systemic. This is a culture. This has been habit for this franchise for what is now a few decades. This entire dis-organization has a long history of lying to the fans and it’s fucking embarrassing. From Sweaty Teddy to Lovie, Angelo, Dr. Death Marc Trestman and Matt Nagy, all have been liars. Of course, no one would give a shit if any of those sad excuses for football coaches would just win some fucking games. But the fact is that all of them didn’t. They were all losers and will forever be losers in football.

Then, the main course for the day: Alan Williams resigns as defensive coordinator. We don’t know what is true. If an attorney for Williams says there is no criminal activity, then I guess we have to take him at that word. I don’t want to speculate necessarily. But if it’s actually for personal reasons such as illness or otherwise that has zero criminal involvement, then he should leave the team.

But all of this chaos today speaks volumes to how this franchise is ran. Just when we think it can’t get any worse, shit like today happens. And we’ve dealt with all of the bullshit from Lovie. We dealt with anarchy of the players by Dr. Death Marc Trestman. And we dealt with the flat-out stupidity and over-his-head coaching from John Fox and Matt Nagy. Being a Bears fan gets worse by the year. Sadly, I didn’t choose the Bears. The Bears chose me from when I was four or five years old. It’s not easy to quit.

But for the love of God, can we please have a stable team with a competent general manager and coaches? Can we please have a team with competent players that runs the ball and have a secondary that can actually cover their receivers? Is this too much to ask for?

And even though the Bears finally cut Nathan Peterwhacker today in the midst of all this garbage, the fact that he was signed THREE times in the last 18 months should tell you that this decision today shouldn’t have ever happened in the first place.

Just. Fuck.

There it was. A chance for Justin Fields to prove he isn’t a bust. A chance for a winning drive late in the game. The defense was horse shit all game.

Then, what we all expected: They found a way to lose. Justin Fields throws the pick six. Then another interception on a meaningless drive to close out the game.

Just like last week, I knew the Bears would lose on the very first drive of the game. Jaquan Brisker dropped an interception. What happened after? Read below.

Stop if you heard this before: The defense gave up points on the first drive of the game. Yep. It seems like every game for the last ten years, that’s been the case.

Stop if you heard this before: The defense gave up points on the last drive of the half.

Stop if you heard this before: The defense gave up huge plays on 3rd down all game long. One resulted in a touchdown. COVE YOUR RECEIVERS.

Stop if you heard this before: The defense missed a ton of tackels. Yannick Ngakoue couldn’t get to Mayfield all game. And all of these free agents that were supposed to help? NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. The Buccaneers were on pace for almost 600 yards by halftime.

Stop if you heard this before: Why is there a bubble screen on 3rd and 9? YOU NEED NINE YARDS YOU STUPID FUCKS.

Justin Fields is a fucking bust. He cannot read defenses and he can’t seem to see when receivers are wide open. Several plays today, there he was in the pocket standing around. RUN. RUN. RUN. But nope. Even though the team was garbage last year. He had much more success rolling outside the pocket.

This team is worse than last year and that says a lot. Teams who are 0-2 rarely make the playoffs. And next week against the Chiefs, the Bears will become 0-3. Ryan Poles and Matt Eber-LOSE should have never been hired in the first place. I can’t remember who else was available. But these two are the shitstains on a pair of tighty whities.

I’ll be at work watching this while customers come in and annoy me (who’s playing?; what’s the score?).

Feel free to add your thoughts before or during the game. There will be a recap after.

We’ve seen some new folks posting in the last week. Welcome to the darkest corner of the internet. Sorry we’re all miserable here. It’s due to the awful Chicago sports we’ve experienced in life. But, I promise we’re nice.

Would you like current bust Justin Fields and his inability to throw the ball away under pressure?

Or how about the statically worst quarterback in NFL history by the name of Nathan Peterman?

On behalf of logical Bears’ fans around the globe, please take one or both of these quarterbacks away from our team. Please.

With Fields, you have a bust who can’t pass or read defenses. But hey, he’s under contract for at least another season. With Peterwhacker, you’re getting a serviceable 38.4 quarterback rating, four touchdowns and 13 interceptions total in his worthless career.

Also, a big “FUCK YOU” to Leonard Floyd. He didn’t do a damn thing with the Bears and very ironic of him to sack Aaron Rodgers (when both play for other teams).

PATHETIC.

When it became 24-6, I called it a day. It was too nice of a day out to be wasted watching this shit. I got to my car and beat the damn traffic. I’d like a refund.

I can tell you this: If you read any of the other recaps with the Bears losing over the 15 years that this website has existed, I guarantee you would be able to apply it to today’s game.

Bubble screens, five yard passes on third and long, giving up huge third down plays that kept the defense on the field, it was all out there. And let’s not forget the red zone drives that stalled for field goals. That’s the Chicago Bears.

And again, what is with giving up points on the first drive of the game along right before and after halftime? The Bears do this shit all the time. ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME. The game was 7-6 and while it felt like it was 30-6, they still had a chance. Instead, they gave the Peckers all the momentum going into halftime with that field goal. First drive of the second half? Touchdown with ease.

Yet, everyone was saying with Rodgers finally gone, that the playing field would be leveled. I knew exactly was going to happen as soon as Fields couldn’t convert that fourth and inches on the first drive of the game. Anyone with half of a brain knew that the Bears were fucked when that happened. Love drove the Packers right down for a touchdown.

As I was walking back to my car, someone texted me Fields got them down the field for a touchdown to make it 24-14. But as I checked ESPN, Love threw a bomb that got them down close to the goal line. And the rest is history. Good Lord.

I’m exhausted. I had a long weekend of bullshit. This was the final nail in all of it. Fuck this franchise. Top to bottom. From George McCaskey all the way down to those fucking ushers who asked me twice in a matter of minutes if they could see my ticket. They all can eat my ass.

It’s been four years since I’ve been to Soldier Field. Ironically, it was the season opener back then against the Packers that the Bears appropriately lost. This Sunday, I may very well be there again. I have been very busy the last few weeks and am exhausted. I haven’t seen a victory in-person since 2016. Needless to say, it’s time for a change. We’ll see what happens.

Regardless, I really don’t see this team winning more than five games and five wins seems optimistic. What’s sad is that if I wrote “the Bears can’t find someone competent to be the general manager or head coach”, you could say that in any of the past 30 years.

It’s fucking annoying and frustrating. And we were proven that again with the news last week that Nathan Peterwhacker was back with the team. And even worse, it was announced the other day that he is the backup quarterback. Are Ryan Poles and Matt EberLose blind? Fuck both of these dipshits.

Your thoughts in the thread. As always, the recap will be up at some point Sunday evening.

If Ryan Poles making stupid decisions isn’t enough. Matt Eberflus is right behind him.

Somehow, someway, Nathan Peterwhacker was spared of the casualties known as roster cuts. P.J. Walker should have been the third string. But what happens? The statistically worst quarterback in NFL history is the backup to Justin Fields.

Once again, it’s “Dumb And Dumber” with this fucking franchise. Ryan Poles and Matt EberLOSE are at the helm.

Where the fuck is Jerry Angelo to sign Todd Collins? IT’S WORSE THAN THIS. The entire league is laughing at the Bears’ dis-organization. Fuck Ryan Poles. Fuck Matt Eberflus. PATHETIC.

https://firejerryangelo.org/2023/06/14/could-the-bears-actually-have-a-quarterback-and-not-know-it/

That was written two months ago. The Bears had a quarterback and didn’t know it until the preseason started. Tyson Bagent appears to be the backup.

As we have witnessed over the years, there have been some who played well in the preseason and have sucked when the games matter. Caleb Hanie comes to mind.

But this does feel different. And as mentioned before, it’s just a matter of time before Justin Fields gets hurt. The Bears need an actual quarterback to be the backup. I was a bit pissed that they signed P.J. Walker and for the money he was given. But he could have been the third string and have Nathan Peterman fuck off for good. So Ryan Poles still fucked this up even after getting it right.

Seriously, how does a team cut someone with limited success but keeps the person with no success? It’s baffling.

Regardless, with the waiver wire sure to be full of potential signings, it’s time the Bears find yet another quarterback who has some potential. Maybe a rookie from another team that played well and didn’t make the roster there. Keep stocking those rookie quarterbacks and see what happens.

As last week goes, I’ll try to chime in when possible as I’m watching this game at work.

Another preseason comes to a close where the players are nameless and faceless. That tells you how shitty this franchise is. I refuse to say it’s me getting old as to why I can’t remember faces or names of the players. They all just suck.

First Terry Funk. Now Bray Wyatt. Two months ago, it was The Iron Sheik.

This shit is tough. While Funk was before my time, I’ve heard all the stories. I do remember him in the late 90’s when he was way past his prime. But damn.

Chucky, I saw Bray Wyatt’s last match ever at a house show in Rockford in February. Here is the picture.
