Significant upgrades at edge, two LB spots, WR, RT, RG and the team looks worse

If you can't be remotely competitive with $100 million in cap space and have added no real impact players, it's not a good sign.

It's obviously one week and they come out and win 30-7 this weekend and it's fine.

I feel like firing any GM after 2 years is too much. The team was pretty crappy when he got them. He's made some questionable and outright bad moves, but some other stuff that will hopefully pay off. The coaching just seems straight up bad right now though. No creativity, guys out there barely giving a poo poo, and just some absolutely clueless poo poo.

Well, we were hoping they would get new good players, but maybe the Claypool trade should have been a sign.

I think it's more like Trestman and Emery. Eberflus is in way over his head, and you already have players quitting on him. Poles is drafting athletic guys who suck, making bad free agency signings, and trading for a #1 WR they'll never properly utilize. Eberflus over McDaniel/Pederson/O'Connell is not as bad Trestman over Arians though.

Tarik rules and I'm so happy he got paid before he got hurt. Wasn't it a freak punt return injury followed by another serious injury while training? I vaguely remember a video where you can hear his achilles pop.

I was thinking Fox because Eberflus is another red assed defensive hustle guy who hasn't earned any player respect so they all give up on him, and Nagy because Getsy is another "offensive guru" who's more interested in installing his neat plays than letting his best players do what they do best

But the fact that every iteration of this looks pretty much the same proves the point either way

Fields basically looked like someone told him, if it’s not 100%, check down.

I’m not sure if that was actually the directive, but goddamn that’s what it looked like.

I really just want to see how many first overall picks the Bears can keep amassing and then still find ways to have the worst record in football.

The year is 2035, there is talk of the Bears should trade Justin Fields, who is on his 12th consecutive one year prove-it contract. There are some nice looking QBs in the draft, and the bears hold the first nine and next 17 picks. But, the Cardinals have expressed interest in trading down from 10.
