Slingin' Sammy Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) 3-17, losing thirteen straight. Defensive oriented coach with a terrible defense, completely failed to further develop Fields other than letting him run around for a few games last year. Looks like the team is starting to point fingers and quit. What were the Bears thinking hiring him? If they cant beat Denver next week there’s not a single reason to keep him around anymore.

DawgX Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I have no idea. I haven't watched much of the Bears, so maybe he is truly horrible, but what the hell does he have to work with personnel wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyld Stallyns Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I don’t know that he is entirely to blame considering that they traded Khalil Mack right after hiring him then traded Roquan Smith after the start of that season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought the same of the Cards and they have shown to be competitive. Same with the Texans last year. I’m not buying that excuse, especially when he had the luxury of an off season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he has nothing to work with on his roster. And I didn't think the Cardinals would be as bad as most predicted. Simply because it seems like every year the team who's predicted to be the worst ends up exceeding expectations. And the Texans screwed themselves out of getting the first overall pick lol. They were pretty bad last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were pretty bad last year. I guess the point that I was trying to make is that even with low talent teams, you can see good coaching because they are somewhat competitive. I bought up last year Texans as a perfect example. Yes, their records says they were awful, but there's a reason they were pro betting darlings. They hung around till the mid 3rd quater/ early 4th and then lose because they lack talent. But teams like these bears have the game lost by the 2nd quarter. Today performance was vile. It's also a big red flag when your side of the ball is constantly awful. Edited September 25, 2023 by 4thandInches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not a whole lot to like on this roster. For a team that's been loaded with high picks over recent years, they've got nothing to show for it. This kind of becomes a chicken and the egg kind of argument though, doesn't it? Part of the coaching staff's responsibility is to develop talent and put it in the best possible situation to succeed. While the Bears don't look very talented, how much of that is the coaching? Darnell Mooney was a 1000 yard receiver under Matt Nagy with rookie Justin Fields. Khalil Herbert and Cole Kmet look so much worse than they did last year. Justin Fields as well. Actually basically every offensive skill position guy has looked worse year over year, because it isn't like D.J. Moore or D'Onta Foreman are doing anything. Cody Whitehair and Darnell Wright are talented linemen. Nate Davis was pretty good for Tennessee. The defense has fewer pieces, IMO, but is supposed to be his specialty, and only looks worse than it did last year, after it was worse last year than it was in 2021. It's not a great roster, but when you have players playing worse once they join Chicago, players and units playing worse after Eberflus's arrival, and players taking visible steps backwards year over year, that's bad coaching. It's the opposite of how we see a guy like J.C. Jackson just tank when he leaves the Pats. And we've seen good coaches at least make something competitive out of bad rosters. It's one thing if they were going 5-12 and are competitive more often than not. But right now they're getting handled consistently and it's hard to find more than a win or two on the schedule for them right now. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
