Chicago Bears 2024 Season Preview | PFF

[@Carlos457906]

Yea bro stay ur ass in Cincinnati

[@JCar0106]

What was their run defense/game and turnover margin with Justin Fields as their QB and Velus Jones as PR. Glad they are both out of those roles. Sure the names aren’t there on DL. Sacks could be higher. But the production was there last year. No?

[@PotatoPunchers]

Coming from a guy who also moved from Chicago to Cincinnati- yeah you’re goofy

[@baKKedBeaN94]

My condolences

[@Clifford777]

Then you have 2nd dude saying 10-7 is their ceiling 🤣

[@PotatoPunchers]

@@baKKedBeaN94 it’s nice being able to save up money

[@Kentuckybearsfan]

Same! Northern KY though

[@Will-fk2dk]

So, isn't the "Ceiling" supposed to be the absolute best a Team could do? Meaning that is most things go right, the Ceiling is the best they could do... And this guy says 10-7? If Caleb goes off, The Defense has a ton of Turnovers, we score points and play strong Defense... 10-7? That's the "Ceiling"? No. I would put the Ceiling at 13-4! That's is things go right.

[@goose5719]

Dalton's talkin about the concern about the Bears Oline when the company he works for released their pre season rankings and have them ranked 11th in the entire league lmao

[@TyrannyOfBenevolance]

He did say that tevin needs to stay healthy which is true. Depth is not where it needs to be rn.

[@goose5719]

@@TyrannyOfBenevolance this is the deepest the bears oline has been under Poles tenure. He's even said it himself. No argument with Teven needing to stay healthy but to say there is no depth is just flat out wrong. Bates is as good a backup for the three interior spots as there is in the league and their 3rd rd pick if advertised will be fine as a swing tackle. Not to mention the pretty good summer Bill Murray had and I think depth wise we are ok. Its just a matter of time on task with this group they need to play together to get the most of them

[@Droski_Rodriguez19]

Oline was middle of the pack even last year with Justin. They’ve improved at center and depth…the key factor is that Caleb understands he has to get the ball out quick. Justin did not

[@Beardownsports]

We didn't trade up for Tory Taylor. We used a 4th, but it wasn't a trade up

[@jacobfuernstahl7445]

You would think they would do a little more research before they babble on here

[@jjc5407]

It's also going to be almost impossible for Taylor not to be an upgrade over Gill who ranked 38th (!) in net punt average last season.

[@kingtrawal]

Dude, he literally made a ton of in structure throws during the preseason and definitely at USC. A ton.

[@keithpaesel]

There is a whole 20 minute video of him throwing on structure. I hate that people are leaning on this narrative that he can't throw in the pocket.

[@douglasblomgren3635]

We will see when he plays in real game the proof will be in the pudding!

[@Clifford777]

10-7 is their ceiling 😂 more like their floor!

[@DozenDeuce]

Bears beat the Lions 115 outta 120 mins & outscored them 54-44 last year. We’ve upgraded/improved @ every position except LB since

[@thevoxdeus]

They also got rid of a QB that was uniquely vexing for Detroit's defense, and Detroit added two capable CBs.

[@tehmpus]

@@thevoxdeus I think you mean they added 1 potentially capable CB and an injured one.

[@Clifford777]

Saying their ceiling is 10-7 when we went 7-10 last year with 4 games we absolutely should have won, and our roster being drastically improved this year, is crazy. 10-7 is closer to their floor than their ceiling.

[@thevoxdeus]

No, they're absolutely right. Bears fans are underestimating how much the gap is between 7 wins and 10 wins in the NFL, and they're underestimating how difficult it is for rookie QBs in the NFL.

[@frankh6689]

Any grading system that had the Bears D-line ranked last shouldn't be taken seriously. Picking K Byard as D-MVP because he graded out so well????? One of these guys needs to step away from his spreadsheet and actually watch some NFL football.

[@jem4862]

yeah the kevin byard shout made sense from the standpoint of eberflus loving players that are good at rotating coverages, but as D-mvp that's fucking nuts lol. it'll be jaylon johnson, they're just trying to be cute and pick a different name.

[@bandlitt]

Thats the problem with pff they treat their algorithm like the fucking bible🤣

[@jordanhurst6555]

They should've called it something different because they weren't making their picks based off of who's MVP & it's obvious especially by their offensive picks. If you can't tell that then idk what to tell you

[@jordanhurst6555]

& where did you have their line ranked then? It was pretty awful & only got better at the end of the season because of sweat but still wasn't great. Sweat can't make up for the other 3 linemen. The only way we got pressure before Sweat was by drawing up blitzes with our nickel cornerback

[@mattrock2794]

Moved from Chicago to Cincinnati. That’s a red flag right there

[@DozenDeuce]

This Bears offense has the best collection of skill position players in franchise history, they’re gonna shock alotta these stat geeks

[@Droski_Rodriguez19]

Yessss. The bears are going to run the ball. 1. Because we got swift 2. It’s what the oline does best 3. No need to let Caleb throw 30-40 times unless needed.

[@BruteDion]

Swift is not very good. His rush yards created are standard really. He gets what his O-Line blocks. No more

[@dojinobeats7430]

Dude already said he believe Jayden Daniels QB1 out the draft, he exposed himself. 8-9 with a better team and a better QB but he got Washington playing well lol

[@TheTruthHurtsBIG]

8-9 WTF are you talking about? Horrible take.

[@Kevincarlloven]

PFF has bears as 11th best offensive line in football? Huh? Make up ur mind.

[@Keo815]

Bears went 7-10 last year, I think with all the additions it has to be worth more than 1 more win right…??

[@vague2263]

Alll trevor does is carry PFF in every podcast hes on

[@joepal843]

Y'all only looking at stats. Fields had the longest time to throw last year, putting stress on the OL. Caleb's quick release and short game is going to help the OL. Weakest point was at Center and it has been addressed in free agency

[@marquisbutler8924]

If you think 10 wins is the ceiling.. Respectfully.. you don't know wtf you are talking about. The hype is LITERALLY because nobody knows their ceiling. I seen Superbowl teams with worse rosters..

[@jjc5407]

It's PFF. Obviously they don't know what they're talking about. Have you seen some of their player grades?!

[@toxickingchristian2645]

Glad you started with your record right away. Saved me 19 minutes 👍🏼

[@chrischris7956]

The Bears didn’t trade up to take Tory Taylor, they traded back in to get Austin Booker after drafting Taylor in the 4th

[@jedediahharper9092]

Glad to see the comments here calling out the absolute lack of research or even remote knowledge of the team they cover. Absolute clowns, good luck turning into the next ESPN

[@kyleheideman8069]

The Bears did not trade up for Tory Taylor. Probably confusing this with trading back into the 5th for Austin Booker.

[@KingofeverythingChicagoBears]

There's not a back 7 defense in the NFL better than the Bears, our front 4 is good. Bears win the North!! 🐻⬇️

[@flyguy7825]

The Bears offense looks scary!! The defense looks solid the only thing that concerns me about the Bears is their offensive line!! It’s gonna be interesting in the NFC North I can see them going 9-8 or 10-7 But it’s hard to say with the Packers and Lions in their division

[@KingofeverythingChicagoBears]

Our DB's our the best in the NFL, our LB core top 10 easy

[@jjc5407]

They were a top 5 defense in the second half of last season once the new players settled in and Sweat arrived. 9 starters and many of the depth players are back. Most pundits expect them to be at least top 10 if not top 5 this season.

[@flyguy7825]

[@mintyfresh9311]

why is he ranting about the run game as if the bears weren't 2nd itl in yards per game

[@BruteDion]

That was with Fields though but yeah I see your point and agree but for a different reason. I think the bears have a serviceable Run game even without Swift because not only is Herbert/Johnson are fine but Swift is not that much of a difference maker in the run game.

[@scheuermann11]

@@BruteDion true but swift great check down option

[@Jimsterrr93]

[@yaboideej4227]

I see both sides all about staying healthy. Jenkins needs to stay healthy he gets banged up a ton, same with davis. Wright is a great player Jones question mark still but ok. Center thats new is crucial 2.

[@trevorredlarczyk5057]

These guys didn’t even look at the schedule. We have THE EASIEST SCHEDULE FOR THE FIRST 10 games!! They will likely be favored in 7 of the 10 games w team like Carolina, New England, Tennessee, Washington, and Arizona. Those are bottom dwellers teams this year. and they can likely split with the Rams and Colts. Plus, I believe they’ll sweep the Vikings and split with Detroit and Green Bay. Anything less than 10 wins would be a disappointment.

[@markkostecki4558]

Did not trade up for Tory. Traded up for Booker

89 is an atrociously pathetic prediction. The Bears defense was top three if not even higher in the NFL the second half of the season letting up less than 18 points a game and had the most interceptions in the NFL by wide margin in the second half.they have a much better offensive coordinator and way better weapons while having the easiest scheduling in the entire NFL the first 10 games.

[@OhHenry35]

​@@jjc5407We need to have an entire group on the line. Offensive line and defensive line need to be healthy. We have a good group of player that can play any role for the offensive line and the defensive line have young players but with more playing time together and creating cohesive is going to be huge. Need to find a 2nd DE who can help Sweat and get to the opposing teams QB. Need to also get Booker more playing time since he showed that he a monster of a player in the preseason.

We went 7 and 10 with a below avg qb and a mediocre wr group. It was just moore, and that's it. Claypool was hot garbage and really hurt the team early in the year. OLine? Its not as you clowns make it ought to be. Justin held onto the ball way too long and made it seem like the OL was bad. The line will be average and thats all caleb needs. You two are also underestimating how NFL ready caleb is.
