Man I am so glad Poles didn't overthink it and just took Rome. Our receiver corps is insane! Caleb should thrive. I am glad Caleb has gotten a head start on the offense and working with DJ. Keenan and Rome. BEAR DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping they will take something like a Patriot approach to taking care of player contracts, but also finding guys not worried about getting the max possible payout that just want to win.

As fans we ALL NEED to up our overall standards!!!! We ALL should expect playoffs and DEEP playoff runs and not just worrying about beating GB!!!!! This hasn’t been a rivalry for DECADES!!!! Time to up our standards and not SOLELY FOCUSING ON JUST BEATING GB!!!!

@@MadSUPANOVAOF COURSE I’ve been watching (unfortunately). I’ve been watching Bears games since I was a kid growing up in the late 70’s/early 80’s (born in ‘72) so even though the Cowboys were my favorite team growing up my all time favorite players STILL TO THIS DAY are Sweetness & TD Toney Dorsett

[@MadSUPANOVA]

@@peterstachura8595 and that kind of expectations thinking is wrong. In reality All a team can do is focus focus focus on beating the first team on the schedule.. Win. Tben the next. Then it gets them to the end. All this hoopla about throwing 4000 yards and win 10 games BASICALLY LIMITS THE MIND. IF I win 10 games I'm good in the fans eyes. If I get 4000 yards I'm good in the expectations fan eyes. Let's just try to win 1 game at a time. Let's try that

[@zackrodriguez2710]

I'm honestly extremely nervous about Waldron. Led a middle-of-pack production with upper-echelon skill talent. Very nervous.

[@spaceghost8995]

He only had Geno Smith.

[@zackrodriguez2710]

@@spaceghost8995 DK, Lockett, JSN, Fant, Walker, Dissly and Smith. That is one of the more talented offensive cores in the league and Waldron had them playing way behind schedule. It's concerning how as a free agent, wasn't even considered as an HC candidate let alone an OC with the newest regime. If he was all that he would at least have been invited back for an interview for one of those two positions.

[@spaceghost8995]

@@zackrodriguez2710 He only had Geno Smith. I already TOLD you that. If Caleb is what we think he is Waldron won't matter. Williams do do what he wants.

[@zackrodriguez2710]

@@spaceghost8995 well, you’re making it out as if it was Smith their only viable skill player when the Hawks are STACKED on paper. It's evident he was productive enough with Canales as his QB coach but played significantly worse in his absence. He coordinated a middle-of-the-back offense with an above-average offensive core. Not sure how you can even attempt to justify that's drop-off In production with that much talent. The coordinator matters for a rookie QB getting acclimated to the speed of the NFL. That’s a straw man argument.

[@zackrodriguez2710]

@@spaceghost8995 again, not even seeing the opportunity for a OC or HC interview with either a new regime or his own is extremely concerning in an era where first and second tier coordinators are landing promotions after 1-2 years of upper level production. Ask any Seahawks fan if they believe he’s remotely competent and they’ll tell you just how reluctant they are to no longer have him in Seattle. It’s like the Raiders celebrating Getsy when we as Bears fans know just how mindless that dude is.

[@windycityflier23]

Why do so many people act like we have a good running game? Without fields we would have been 21st. We were also bottom 5 in pressures under 2.5 seconds and the worst was the Seahawks. As much as I think Caleb can get it out quick, he had the worst time to throw of any QB in the FBS or NFL since 1990. All the negative aside, Waldron is great at fixing this issue. It was an issue that was holding Geno back and Waldron broke those habits while the guy was in his 30s. As for the OL and DL, it success will be based solely on development. Braxton should have a better anchor, Tev should be better in pass-pro with another year vs DTs, C won’t be great but will be a huge upgrade, Davis should be better after his hardships in his family, and Wright will be a Sophomore. On the DL, we need another edge and DT, but big Dex and Pickens have shown potential. JJ said it in his recent interview, we need help in the trenches on both sides of the ball but our skill positions are STUDS!

[@brianbelden2449]

Trade for TREY HENDRICKSON! If the Bears were to trade a 2025 second round pick and a 2026 second round pick and Hebert for Hendrickson they would be in a position to not need free agency outside of low cost depth signings. They could then essentially build through the draft with a full set of 7 draft picks even after a potential Hendrickson trade. They could use their first 3 picks in 2025 on a 3TECH and a new SLOT WR to replace Allen and a GUARD to replace Jenkins if needed with the rest of their picks for depth. That leaves ALOT of cap space in 2025 even if the Bears trade for Hendrickson. DO IT!

Bears have 1 winning season since firing Loviee. Last yr Bears beat 1 team over. 500 the lions. Fluse kept his job beating panthers, commanders, vikings, falcons, cardinals. All those teams suck and were drafting in the top 10 lol. The bears have perfected the art of busting a qb. 2017 keep john fox, draft trubisky. 2018 fire fox.. 2021 keep nagy, draft justin. 2022 fire Nagy.. 2024 keep fluse, draft caleb. 2025 history tells u fluse fired lol
