Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Ben Johnson

1st and goal in the first quarter. Can you run the ball? No. We’ll pass and have the ball intercepted.

4th and goal in the second quarter at the goal line. Can you do a quarterback sneak? No. We’ll try to have a back lined up five yards back.

1st and goal at the 5 with 45 seconds or so left. Can you run the ball? No.

Velus Jones fucked up on a punt return two games ago. Can you stop letting take punts back? No. We’ll let him keep going out there and fumble it again.

Can Luke Getsy go fuck himself? No. He’s going to get a contract extension after this latest abysmal failure.

I fucking hate this franchise. Everyone working at 1920 Football Drive in Lake Forest can go fuck themselves.

There is zero reason for us to be optimistic. Five games in, the Bears are all but eliminated from playoff contention. The NFC East is stacked with the Eagles being undefeated along with both the Cowboys and Giants at 4-1. You would have to think that at least two of the Wild Card spots are filled there. The last spot is either the Packers or 49ers.

The Bears would need to go 9-3/8-4 to get into the playoffs. The other teams in the NFC have already determined that is what is necessary. Therefore, the chances of the Bears doing that are less than me going on a date with Cheryl Scott. Not realistic.

Tomorrow night, they could be three losses out of the last spot after six games. The odds were not in their favor to begin with and it just gets worse from here on out.

Oh, and Ihmir Smith-Marsette is still on the team. So you can tell this dis-organization has no idea how to evaluate talent.

Your thoughts in the thread.

Hey Poles, you’re forgetting to do something today (other than resign as general manager).

Talk about emotionally draining. This team does that. How appropriate was it that some no-name fuckwad named Ihmir Smith-Marsette refused to go out of bounds on the last drive like a smart player would only to have it ripped away from him.

Make no mistake about it. This defense is fucking garbage. The first three drives of the game were the Vikings driving down at will.

The first drive of the game for the Bears had them having a delay of game on the first play. THE FIRST FUCKING PLAY. Un-disciplined. We’ve seen this before.

Dante Pettis sucks. He can’t hang onto the fucking ball.

Then of course, that glorious defense at the end. They give up the game-winning touchdown by letting the Vikings march down at will (again). That drive took up half of the quarter. PATHETIC.

It didn’t matter at the end, but the choice to go for two in the third made it tougher. Not smart.

Fuck this entire team. Fuck management. Fuck the coaches. Fuck the players. They are all a disgrace to the fans and even their families. Fuck all of them.

How is the offensive line still shitty? Look no further than Ryan Poles’ stupidity this past April in the draft.

Braxton Jones, Zachary Thomas, Doug Kramer, Ja’Tyre Carter. Those are four offensive linemen taken out of the 11 picks.

How many are playing for the team? Two.

I know Kramer is out with an injury. Jones is starting. Carter is dressed, but not playing (or at least not much). Zachary Thomas? On the practice squad.

What is the point of drafting players if they are just going to be on the practice squad or even cut before season even begins? This also contains Elijah Hicks, a free safety drafted in the seventh round. I don’t think he’s even been on the field yet.

I know guys like Kyler Gordon and Jaquan Brisker are out there playing (and sucking at football). But at least we’re finding that out now so they can be cut after this season. The other ones I mentioned, need to be out there as well and being shitty. Drafting and not playing them is fucking stupid. This isn’t baseball where someone goes into the minors for a few years. For football, these players drafted should be ready to go.

This was the most frustrating game I’ve seen in the last several years and imagine how much territory that covers. Fuck this consistently shitty franchise. This was unbelivable.

Fuck Matt EberLOSE. Fuck Luke Getsy and his idiotic play-calling.

Fuck this entire defense. They can’t stop basic college football plays. More specifically, fuck Kyler Gordon. Illegal contact one play. The next? Blatant pass interference.

Fuck Velus Jones. Cut this fucking bum.

Fuck Justin Fields. EVERY quarterback from Ohio State in my lifetime to play in the NFL has been rotten trash. We’ve seen this on the Bears before. Craig Krenzel, anyone?

This game was very much winnable. But since Luke Getsy doesn’t know how to call plays for the offense and put them in a position to succeed, this was the result. And Daniel Jones made the defense look PATHETIC.

Last, but not least, fuck Trevor Semen.

It’s not going to get any easier as the Vikings are up next.

• CB Jaylon Johnson (quad)
• RB David Montgomery (ankle)
• LB Matt Adams (hamstring)
• S Dane Cruikshank (hamstring)

The Bears seem to have this issue more than other teams every year. Can something be done? Better trainers or telling the players to be in better shape? I am not too sure.

We all have a reason (or several) to not be optimistic when it comes to this team. I am not going to defend the coaching staff necessarily. But I would think they are a bit more honest than the last several regimes. It’s only three games in, however.

In addition to the names above, limited in practice were Roquan Smith, Velus Jones and tight end Ryan Griffin.

The Bears can beat the Giants this Sunday. But the reason would be similar to the previous game against the Texans in terms of who will fuck it up last.

Was it supposed to be this difficult? I don’t believe so. But there the Bears were; shooting themselves in the foot.

In a battle of the two worst teams in the league, the Bears proved they are neck-and-neck with the Texans. It all came down to who would fuck it up last. Roquan Smith made sure the Texans would be the ones to do that.

Matt Eberflus | This fucking idiot. The Bears had a first down with 40 seconds to go in the second quarter with all three timeouts. The team is down a point and they are kicking the ball off to to start the second half. And NOTHING. Just waste the clock out. Why? Certainly, no logical reason would be given behind that. It was just unbelievable. The Bears have a history of coaches who like to wave the white flag when a chance to succeed is presented.

Justin Fields | This guy is just bad. Two interceptions at very crucial times (isn’t ever time crucial?). His only strength is being able to scramble outside of the pocket for a first down. He can’t throw. He can’t stay in the pocket. He has zero awareness and he can’t hold onto the ball. But unfortunately, we are stuck with him until next year when the Bears will draft their next quarterback bust.

Khalil Herbert | I’ve finally been getting my wish of a team that would run the ball much more. With David Montgomery being hurt and probably gone for a while, Herbert was absolutely amazing. 20 rushes for 157 yards. More of this, please.

Defense | Don’t get fooled by the fourth quarter “success.” They were really bad in the first half and basically let the Texans run the ball with ease. And of course, passes for big gains on several occasions. First drive in the second half? The Texans once again drive down at will and since they suck just as much as the Bears, only a field goal came out of it.

Cairo Santos | He had a rough first game of the season. But as we can see, the weather was a factor. Today, he’s the reason why they won this game. Three field goals including the game-winner.

The Bears head to New Jersey next week to take on the Giants.

Your thoughts on this game and anything else going forward are welcome.

Despite my anger for this sad excuse for an NFL team, I really wanted to get a new jersey since it’s been forever. The only one I own Urlacher’s and not only was that over ten years when I bought it, it was way too big for me and unable to return it.

On the NFL Shop website, I spent time trying to figure out which one I wanted. Since none of the current players are worth a damn, I had three to choose from: Gale Sayers, Watler Payton and the wonderful custom one where you can put any name on it. I was contemplating putting my own name and number on it like I did with a Bulls’ jersey right after I got out of college.

Ultimately, I went to with a vintage Mitchell & Ness Gale Sayers.

But during that search, I noticed something insane: A Nathan Peterman jersey. Yep. The third string quarterback (who is currently on the practice squad) has his own jersey for sale.

We know the Bears aren’t cheap. They definitely spend money. They just don’t spend it wisely. And with this, they literally released a Nathan Peterman jersey. I know these are pre-made because there are still Khalil Mack and Nick Foles’ jerseys for very cheap. And good ol’ Peterman is sold for much more.

What a waste of money. How is the statistically worst quarterback of the last decade even on an NFL team and even more puzzling, how he is getting his own jersey?

Only the Bears.

4th and goal at the half-yard line. Seriously. Just a half yard. It shouldn’t matter if it’s first down or fourth down.

QUARTERBACK SNEAK. Really. Just do it. Some of you have seen all the recaps over the years of games. The Bears never do it and it’s another reason why they lose games. Instead, we see a shotgun snap?

This is the Chicago Bears. Logic doesn’t apply to them. They do it their way and it shows.

Fuck Luke Betsy. Fuck Matt EberLOSE for doubling down in the press conference on that call. And fuck the entire defense for still not knowing how to cover receivers. It’s only been going on for about 30 years.

I felt a *bit* optimistic before the game started. A *bit*. However, it was another three and a half hour drive back home in the dark. I don’t know if you can blame me for this next part. But every game I have been to since 2018 both home and on the road, the Bears have lost in humiliating fashion. Last night, I was praying that a blind squirrel would find a nut. Nope.

Who wants to bet money that Lovie Smith of all people, comes to Chicago with the Texans to beat the Bears this coming Sunday?

Since I forgot to say this last week, Trevor Semen sucks. And to make up for it, I’ll say it again: Trevor Semen sucks.

And Ryan Poles sucks for signing him. Fuck that guy.
