TJ Edwards is my kind of linebacker. Edmonds just isn't getting it done. I think he's scared to hit the hole and stuff the run. Edwards is a hitter. Edmonds needs to be replaced.
Dumbass Poles went and spent a fortune on Edmunds when we could spent that money on a far more important position and have got at least the same production out of Sanborn, likely better production.
Imagine giving that contract to roquan instead of Edmonds. Roquan wanted 2 million dollars a year than what they gave to Edmonds that would have been completely worth it.
I want to win, but at this point I hope we lose more than everyone else so we can draft Will Campbell LT LSU. Try to sign Trey Smith RG FA and draft another C/G to make major upgrades.
Caleb has faced more disfunction coaching and structure wise than justin ever did in the middle of a season. That has to be a factor if youre gonna compare caleb's rookie year to justin's 3rd
Bush really knows our tradition. Look how far we have fallen. In the old days, we didn't win, but we won the fist fights. These guys this year are cream puffs. No aggression in them.
Yes Edmonds a brilliant move by poles letting roquan sign elsewhere. Poles is the problem look at how many mistakes he’s made we would have lost Jaylon. If we weren’t lucky no one else went after him.
Idk why i just thought of doing this. But, all you, Madden heads out there. Maybe a look into what could've been. Simulate season w/poss. Draft picks & Fields. Then simulate season w/ Fields&Caleb on team. w/Odunze Poss. Oline Draft pick instead of punter & Sign Oline&DEnd COEXISTING, SACRIFICING, TO WIN AS TEAM! Coaching in play detail & managing egos is something Da Bears need in a coach to win.
Don’t tell me look at the trade he made with Carolina. He got lucky the owner was willing to to trade anything to get young. Didn’t poles say he couldn’t wait to make the trade because he said having it made him nervous that’s why he traded so soon. Poles is bad real bad
The company I work for has had season tickets for over 100 years. We've been trying to give them away to clients recently. They're not even taking them. They already have the $$$$! The McCaskey's don't understand the disdain.
The Bears hired this regime to develop Justin Fields. FAILED. Tried to give them the answers to the test by drafting a generational talent that didn't need as much development. FAILED again. Next step gotta be for Warren/Poles to hire a generational coach?
Like Jerry Angelo said.. “evaluating your own players is very hard” Poles oversells culture and is too optimistic publicly about his teams talent.. better to set lower expectations and over achieve vs the opposite
Would a coach Tomlin have opted to keep Fields & draft Caleb? If he was in the same position as Flus & Poles? My guess is yes. He's the type of coach that has all the different egos to believe in one common goal to win! While getting the most out of his players
@bsoko82 No, he would have kept Fields and ransom the NFL for the next 2 years with draft capital and built a better team for long term, not on one overhyped player.
Poles will have a busy offseason once again think we have a lot more holes than expected coming into offseason thought we only needed a few more pieces don’t think that’s the case anymore
I don’t see the Bears winning anything for the next 10 years. I’ll be dead and gone before I ever see you Super Bowl Chicago and no one else probably ever see one either or just flat screwed. These people don’t don’t know what they’re doing. They’ve proved it we let every good player we’ve ever had walk. We’ve lost a lot of good fans because of thatsmart people see it and they say we’re done with it and they move on. I’m ready to move on I’m tired of it. You can’t be a fan of a loser or you’re a loser yourself.😢
Sorry Briggs but ain't no who's staying or going, the Bears already fumbled the bag. Do you know what any good franchise would have done with a medicore team last year with that draft capital from the off-season. Bears gave away Top 5 rushing attack for Swift, never understood why they benched him. #1 draft pick spent on a QB who don't want to be there and said it. The team wanted Fields because at the end of the year last year Bears was actually coming together. Think if you kept Fields trade down multiple times for draft to fill OL, DL, and Wrs, plus this upcoming draft capital they they could've had. Bears could have been playing Madden Franchise with the NFL, but horrible management is terrible.
I really hate to admit it, but I'm starting to see it your way. I was not a fan of Fields and actively rooted for the team to lose so he'd be shown the door. But in hindsight, and even though Williams is objectively a better passer than Fields, it looks like it was a mistake to move on from Fields. And that's tough for me to admit. The team seemed to play hard for him and he had that certain special something that winners have. I mean, he goes to Pittsburgh and even with pedestrian numbers, he willed the team to 4 wins in his 6 starts before being (rightfully) benched. I'm wondering now if they should have just traded down to get a ransom of picks and used them to build around Fields. But it's too soon to.give up the ghost with Williams after only 13 games. Let's see what he does these last few games. And he deserves another full season to prove himself, hopefully with the needed upgrades in supporting cast. But I'm definitely having buyer's remorse, at least so far.
@ how many times did Fields have a chance to take the bears on a game winning drive? So many. And he could NEVER do it We’ve seen Caleb walk off the field a couple times with a lead and the bears coaching fucked it up
@@Pat18934lots of bad personnel on the skills position side for Justin in those games. Don’t get me wrong Caleb looks legit especially in those close game scenarios, but Justin would’ve done more with this roster
My god bears fans are dumb. We upgraded significantly at qb for way less money. Doesn’t want to be here? Caleb seems like the only guy that gives a shit.
Hc and gm and qb are tied to the hips. Probably best to fire the gm at the end of the season because next yr if they have terrible season than would gm keeps his job?

Maybe like actually try to give a crap, her legacy is making her dads team a joke
Is there no pride among the Bears players? Weren't they ashamed of their work on Sunday? Apart from Edwards and Caleb, are there NO meat-eating players on the Bears roster? I've never seen such a collection of softies.
Y’all really sounding like some “boomers” complaining about guys celebrating.. i respect yall for being former players but some times celebrating can ignite a spark! It’s not really hurting anything to be excited!!
Herb's got it. Frick, let him coach. Don't let Kittle go off for 100 yards in the first half, Jesus! As a former middle line backer myself, may I just say...Tremaine Edmunds SUX! You gotta be a maniac to play that position, and smart or be Urlacher. He ain't it. Get rid of Poles!!!
I WILL NEVER STOP DELETE MY COMMENTS ALL YOU WANT I WILL STILL BE HERE DEMANDING THIS SAME THING. TIME FOR FANS TO WISEN UP AND HIT THE MCCASKETS IN THEIR WALLETS.
IF YOU THINK ITS IMPOSSIBLE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND OPT OUT OF LIVING. YOURE HOLDING US BACK IF YOU THINK THE BEARS EVENTUALLY SELLING THE TEAM IS IMPOSSIBLE.
This team needs a complete haul. Poles gone! Can’t have any part of this regime going into next year! Never works. Blame will just keep snow balling up hill when things go bad! Poles failed on a lot of his picks and free agents. He also hit on some too. But because he failed so bad with the offense line and defense line he’s gotta go! He had one job, protect Caleb! Most sacked Qb in 7 game stretch ever! Can’t happen to wont happen , RIP Ryan poles
Let the Justin Fields stuff go Herb. You weren’t right then, you aren’t right now, and you won’t be right in the future. Hilarious that you think this team makes a SB quicker with Fields.
So many idiotic bears fans. When will you all give up? This teams not winning a scrimmage until there’s new ownership here and ALL OF YOU THAT THINK IT IS IMPOSSIBLE ARE THE REASON THAT IT JUST MIGHT BE. CHANGE YOUR TUNE FOR THE LOVE OF THE BEARS PLEASE IM BEGGING ALL OF YOU. WE CAN FORCE THEM TO SELL YOU ALL JUST NEED AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT. PLEASE LOOK INWARD AND DO BETTER ALL OF YOU. IM TALKING TO EVERY BEARS FAN ON THE PLANET RIGHT NOW. DO BETTER BECAUSE WE ARE ALL COMPLICIT IN THIS MESS TOO AT THIS POINT. STOP GOING TO GAMES AND IF YOU DO GO THROW TRASH ONTO THE FIELD.
All the bears do is draft and rebuilt, draft and rebuilt, draft and rebuilt get rid of all their good players. They stick eye candy out there just to get people to come to their games on part of the Bears screw the Bears till they sell the team they’ll never be anything. They’re becoming the Browns every day.
Wondering, when are we getting a statement on the elephant in the podcast room : what happened between "CHGO" and Alex BROWN??? The longer you wait, the uglier it seems to be... What happened?
I can’t wait till they build this nice beautiful big stadium that they’re so proud of and because they’re in a team it goes bankrupt and they lose everything then they’ll know what it’s really like to lose. I can’t wait till it happens to him. Couldn’t happen to two better people these people are idiots and they need to get out of football😢
ALL YOU FANS ARE TOO CONTENT WITH LOSING. SERIOUSLY DO BETTER ALL OF YOU I FEAR FOR YOUR FAMILIES AND THEIR FUTURE GENERATIONS CONTAMINATING THE REST OF THE WORLD WITH THIS ATTITUDE THESE BEARS FANS HAVE DEVELOPED. DEMAND BETTER AND PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS TO ALL THE BEARS FANS THAT THINK IT IS A WASTE OF TIME TO DEMAND THAT THE TEAM IS SOLD.
Edmunds has always been awful at recognition . I saw it on his college tape. That's why I didn't like him as a prospect & was so high on Roquan instead. So imagine how happy I was draft night! This this idiot Ryan Poles trades Roquan away & signed this fing bum!!!!!! You can't make it up....lol
Doesn't matter about any of this as POLESMIA destroyed the team chemistry long ago. It will take the Bears 3 more years to rebound from what POLESMIA has done. Who wants a new stadium with this MEDIOCRE cast of characters that POLESMIA has assembled?!
At least the cowboys tonight show emotion being a shitty team seems like no emotion coming from players being a shitty team this roaster don’t wanna win a lot of changes this offseason hopefully
We have a finesse FLAG football GM. Ryan Poles needs to go now. We need a meat and potatoes GM . Not a vegan tofu guy. The bears are the softest least physical team in all the NFL
Shame on anyone that dismisses the idea that the fans can’t force the bears to sell. You are the reason it hasn’t happened yet. Go root for another team if you’re okay with losing and you’re not gonna voice your displeasure with the very top of the bears organization.
TJ Edwards is my kind of linebacker. Edmonds just isn't getting it done. I think he's scared to hit the hole and stuff the run. Edwards is a hitter. Edmonds needs to be replaced.

What happened to Alex Brown? Is he okay? Loved seeing him and Briggs
Still waiting on news of Alex Brown…
Can y'all please go to a Bears team meeting and tell them the truth about themselves. Then tell them how to improve against the run. Please!!!!
Imagine roquan and tj as your linebackers
I was thinking exact same thing yesterday, but I think they might play the same position or Roquwas still golf ball linebacker
roquan surprisingly hasnt been good this year
@39connormcc he really is overrated I'm looking more at the Sweat to Mack comparison. Do the math should have kept Mack played up to his contract.
It's pretty clear that Andrew Billings was the defensive MVP.
Sanborn should play Mike, he's WAY more violent than Edmunds!
Braxton is a wisdom tooth
I want to win, but at this point I hope we lose more than everyone else so we can draft Will Campbell LT LSU. Try to sign Trey Smith RG FA and draft another C/G to make major upgrades.
Where's Alex ?
Is he not feeling well?
Caleb has faced more disfunction coaching and structure wise than justin ever did in the middle of a season. That has to be a factor if youre gonna compare caleb's rookie year to justin's 3rd
Eberflus and Brown were the problem this year. So the Bears fire one and promote the other.😂
It’s always rock bottom. Been that way for years now
Why are we not using Cole the same way they’re using George Kittle
Bush really knows our tradition. Look how far we have fallen. In the old days, we didn't win, but we won the fist fights. These guys this year are cream puffs. No aggression in them.
Yes Edmonds a brilliant move by poles letting roquan sign elsewhere. Poles is the problem look at how many mistakes he’s made we would have lost Jaylon. If we weren’t lucky no one else went after him.
Carm... the Bears and all Chicago sports have taught us there is no rock bottom. Things can always get worse!
Where was our TIghtends? MIA😢
Poles is a slightly below average GM (better than Pace), but his one big success was the Carolina trade.
I think any good he did with that trade has been nullified by the bad contracts and roster choices he has made.
@@lucrative6477 I can't disagree with you.
F Poles, drafting Caleb and Odunze was easy. The rest of his picks are....as stated, just guys
Idk why i just thought of doing this. But, all you, Madden heads out there. Maybe a look into what could've been. Simulate season w/poss. Draft picks & Fields.

Herb talking facts on this roster and Poles! 👊
Did Herb really say Braxton needs a BBL?! Lmaoooo
The company I work for has had season tickets for over 100 years. We've been trying to give them away to clients recently. They're not even taking them. They already have the $$$$! The McCaskey's don't understand the disdain.
Keep grinding guys
For the season, it feels like Rock Bottom for sure. Yesterday was the worst of them all, and I was expecting to win that game.
Briggs!....Elk Snout Thundering Herd. You were an awesome player. Where's Alex?
Why didn’t the Bears jam Kittle at the line?
The Bears hired this regime to develop Justin Fields. FAILED. Tried to give them the answers to the test by drafting a generational talent that didn't need as much development. FAILED again. Next step gotta be for Warren/Poles to hire a generational coach?

Lol
CHGO da best
Does Carm really have any friends IRL?
Old bears players schedule a meeting with the organization and please intervene please the gods of football make this a good team finally
I knew moving Kahlil was a HUGE mistake!!
@derralupton5388 Khalil, they moved Roquan, Mooney, Fields, Montgomery and Jefferies. They all doing better outside Chicago.
Time for the bears organization to make a public apology to the city and fans and refund season ticket holders
Good job
Fastest was correct!
I really do not see the Bears winning any more games this year. This is very bad
We need a better rb and two safeties brisker isn’t reliable and byard’s old. A better guy next to Dexter and opposite sweat. Those pieces and the OL
@davidwyatt9757 We had Top 5 rushing attack last year, they benched Herbert, traded Fields, and never really given Johnson a chance.
