Bears 7.0: 2024 Season thread

[Betta Bulleavit]

Apparently Flus said that it was indeed Tyriques' job to be the deep man on the play, so he really did F$%* it up in a big way. I would seriously consider benching him for a game. There's no excuse for being more worried about jawing with the fans than doing your job. Not to mention the earlier penalty he got, which also could have been very costly. There's a pattern of that with him, and maybe a benching is what it takes for him to get the message that he's got to stop with that nonsense.

I don’t know that I’d say it’s a pattern. He’s a good DB that was simply bad in that moment. I’m fine with guys getting benched. But there does need to be a real point behind it.

he's been bad this season and was bad 1st half of last season as well

He’s been fine.

Daniels is every bit as talented as Williams. Stop coping.

Yea so far,he's lost to his peers in Stroud and Daniels. Guys that them and Jordan Love are going to be his nemesis for years to come. I know that Caleb didn't surrender the hail Mary, but he did play pretty bad for 3 quarters.

It's early, but trying to lie to yourself bringing these guys down to lift ours up, is not reality

fill in the blank: daniels overtook caleb as redraft #1 after week __

1,2,3,4....... Get your woman on the floor

Tory Taylor probably had more punts yesterday than the Skins Punter has had all season. It still very early, but so far Daniels is quite a bit ahead. I really don't buy that he has a better team either. They got him because they sucked bad enough on their own merit to get the #2 pick. This board was saying the exact same thing in 2018 that Mahomes just had a better roster and that's why he was looking so much better than Trubisky. I do think Caleb will still be better than Trubisky and Fields, but we need him to be on par or better than guys like Daniels and Love if we want to see a perennial contender year in and year out. I'm hopeful but its no slam dunk.

That game yesterday was lost in the 1st 3 quarters with terrible offense.

Well JF ain't playing another snap.

Well JF ain't playing another snap.

Russ is 100% going to have a stinker or two, or more. And he Giants at awful. JF will start again.

Patrick Mahomes didn’t start right away tho he had time to get himself together before he took off

On the bright side of this season so far is that all our loses have been by less 7 points. With the chance of scoring for the lead in the last two minutes of the game. The frustrating part of this bright side is that all three losses came from inept coaching.

Giants have a pretty decent defense. Went into the game leading the league in sacks I think

[patryk7754]

Looking to the offseason a bit, I think a good replacement for Keenan Allen would be Chris Godwin. There was already a contract dispute with he and the Bucs and his injury might motivate the parties to part ways. I’ve heard that there’s a chance he’s ready for the Super Bowl if the Bucs make so he should definitely be ready for next season. With his injury, teams probably won’t give him a very big deal at all. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was a 1 year 5m as a prove it deal. And if he isn’t ready, no biggie cuz we have Odunze and Moore still

[Jeffster81]

I think you're jumping the gun assuming we're getting a new coach. If the season ended today, I doubt Flus would get canned.

Only way Flus gets fired after the season is if the Bears do not win another game this year. Otherwise, Flus will back in 2025.

--------------

As for the game itself, while Caleb was crap for a good portion of the game, he did managed to pull himself together put the Bears in position to even win that game. That is my takeaway from the game.

But I chose to believe the Commanders needed a poor effort from the Bears and a miracle heave to beat the Bears in D.C. A little more effort from the Bears and I believe they would have won by 10 plus points.

Daniels this year but Williams long term.

Why would you think that?

He's in year 3 of a 4 year deal. Teams prefer not to go into a coaches final season as a lame duck, which means the end of this year is prime "fire him" or "pay him" time. If he has a bad year, "fire him" is going to have a lot of momentum. Lame duck year is definitely not off the table, but the end of this season is a pretty natural point where a team would fire their coach.

It's frustrating when the players seem to be smarter than the coaches.

Second guessing is natural when you have such a catastrophic failure. Fans, media, players- they're all doing it today. And I'm sure Ryan Poles is taking it all in, too.

I think in the long run, losses like this can actually help. It's not like this loss is going to have a big impact on how far we go in the post season this year. It might wake up Caleb and Waldron to the fact that you can't expect to just play 15 minutes of good football and win- there's no reason we should lose a game when our defense holds a good offense like theirs to just 12 points.

The game has a ton to do with whether the Bears even make the postseason at all, given how back-loaded the schedule is with difficult divisional games.

If Poles actually had the opportunity to hire Ben Johnson, then he really, really screwed the pooch.

We'll probably never know. Hopefully we can hire him this offseason.

This alone tells me that this guy isn't qualified to be a HC in the NFL. He doesn't have the situational awareness or skillset to understand the true x's and o's of strategy! This is our damn Defensive Coordinator who didn't think it was a good idea to guard the line to gain or out of bounds nor did he think it was vital to have our best pass rusher in the game on the final play.

Slap in the face of all fans, he shows ZERO humilty or ownership for his weekly coaching flaws. GET HIS ARSE outta here!

Sooo was that Sweat trade to save Eberflus worth it still?

Tyrique's presser today was solid. I'm still in awe of how nuts that series of seconds unfolded, but hearing from him a bit of the madness of that moment is gone from me. Flus' portion of that press conference though....SMH

Apparently Flus said that it was indeed Tyriques' job to be the deep man on the play, so he really did F$%* it up in a big way. I would seriously consider benching him for a game. There's no excuse for being more worried about jawing with the fans than doing your job. Not to mention the earlier penalty he got, which also could have been very costly. There's a pattern of that with him, and maybe a benching is what it takes for him to get the message that he's got to stop with that nonsense.

I don’t know that I’d say it’s a pattern. He’s a good DB that was simply bad in that moment. I’m fine with guys getting benched. But there does need to be a real point behind it.

There is definitely a pattern of Tyrique getting in confrontations, and getting penalized for it. It happened earlier in this game, and it's happened in the past. And he doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes.

He’s been fine.

he's definitely been good. there's a handful of moments you can point to that he was taken advantage of but he's been good. and other than the one big pass play to McLarin, he was lockdown all game.

with that being said, i definitely think what he did is bench worthy. Too his credit (if he deserves any), he hasn't made any excuses for his stupidity, so maybe he doesn't need to be benched for a wake up call.

[patryk7754]

Vikings traded for Cam Robinson. Conditional 6th. Now that the doors been open to trading for OL, Poles should definitely jump through it. If you can get an above average starting LT for a conditional 6th, you can definitely get a pretty good OG for that.

I would definitely bench him. He needs to get it together mentally and if done the right way, being benched can be his wake up call. Unfortunately, the offense needs more of a wake-up call but Eberflus isn't the type to puff his chest out and get them to lock in.
