I'm very confused. The Bears offensive coaches saw the game plan wasn't working and made an in-game adjustment? Is that even legal? Asking for Matt Nagy.

Dear Chicago Bears Beat Writers: During the early negotiations period, teams CANNOT send a full medical staff out to everybody they are negotiating with. Once free agency actually starts, they do physicals to make sure the players are healthy. This isn't a failing of a GM.

Mitchell Trubisky, last 5 games, offensively: 1683 yards, 15 TD's, 5 turnovers. That averages out to 336.6 yards, 3 TD's and 1 turnover per game. I gotta be honest, fans & media who are saying Mitch sucks are not very good at this whole "knowing anything about football" thing.

According to Over The Cap, the Chicago Bears currently have $30,713,289 in effective cap space (after the rookies have signed). Basically, Ryan Poles still has $15-20M left to work with to fill holes with FA's & cuts. Chicago also sits first on the waiver wire claims list.

The Chicago Bears don't need to trade up for a QB this year in the draft, they need to TRADE DOWN and start filling this team up with draft picks on the OL, CB, WR, etc. The only way out of this mess is to get younger. Trading up is what has caused part of this problem.

In 2023, the Chicago Bears have $35M in "Ryan Pace Dead Money". Before cutting Cody Whitehair, in 2024 Chicago will have $859,071 in dead money. I get the Ryan Poles haters, but whatever else you say about the man he fixed a franchise-crushing problem with the bad Pace contracts.

I am a bit perplexed as to why some Bears media and fans believe Matt Nagy is on the hot seat. Football is a "win or else" business. Nagy's record is 23-12. With Mitch Trubisky as his QB. Let me help... Matt Nagy is not only not on the hot seat, he's nowhere near the hot seat.

There is ZERO amount of sympathy for Green Bay fans who are mad about a call by the officials. None. Welcome to what the rest of us have dealt with against you folks for decades. Oh, and go back and see how many delay-of-games that were missed just today. Go ahead, I'll wait.

I'd love to see the Bears hire Tarik to work for the organization doing ambassador/community outreach/video/whatever and give him full access to the facilities for his recovery... if he wants to try to play again, that's fine, he can do this until he is recovered.
I hope Chicago Bears do something to look after Tarik Cohen. I would be extremely worried about him & hope the club reaches out to him & tries to assist him.
I am not saying any financial but maybe assist with his rehab or something.

Just confused about many Bears fans reactions to Trey Burton. Dude played all 16 games in the regular season last year, hasn't played less than 15 per year since he's been in the league, was 10th in receptions and 4th in TD's for TE's and some fans are screaming to cut him? WTF?

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is, so far, a clear upgrade over Adrian Amos. Buster Skrine has played well on defense, and is a clear upgrade over a 2019 Bryce Callahan (who hasn't recovered from his injury enough to play yet, and in fact may miss the season).

"Better gas?" he asked. "Nope, same as everybody else" a local stated. "Then why does everybody go there?" the out-of-towner asked suspiciously. "Well," one local explained, "Once Bronko screws your gas cap on, ain't nobody but Bronko is strong enough to screw it back off..."

Hear me out before the freakout. I think the 2023 Bears should draft a QB next season in the middle rounds. Somebody like KJ Jefferson from Arkansas. Justin's backup should be a similar type player. Additionally, a guy like Jefferson could assume a Taysom Hill kind of role.

Fun Fact: Byron Pringle had 2 less yards receiving in 2021 than Jarvis Landry. Pringle had a higher Y/R, three more tuddys and 1/3 more yards per target and 600 more all-purpose yards. No, I'm not saying Pringle = to Landry (he's not), but he is younger & much cheaper.

I've seen people discussing Chicago's 2019 cap space mentioning Danny Trevathan can be cut to save $6M in space. Let me help you out, the Bears are NOT cutting one of the best MLB's in the game to save $6M in cap space. They didn't cut a bad TE to save $6M in 2018.

To the "Yeah but 2 of Justin Fields' 3 TD's were on blown coverages" crowd: Aaron Rodgers has made a career of punishing teams for blown coverages. He recognizes them and drops the hammer. The good QB's not only find them but accurately get the ball to the receivers in time.

Hear me out: Picking Paris Johnson, Jr. isn't a "needs" pick, it's a "positional value" pick. The only way you get to pick the best LT prospect in a draft is to be bad, because of positional value. If things go well, this may be Chicago's one shot in a while to draft the top LT.

Folks, you can't have it both ways. Last year Justin was blasted for "missing the easy ones" and taking sacks rather than dumping the ball off. Yesterday he dumps the ball off, accurately, and gets blasted for not going deep. Yesterday's problem was scheme, not target choice.

Let me get this strait... some people are actually complaining about Ryan Pace trading a conditional 2021 7th rounder for a kicker who will a) work out and be our guy or b) bust and cost us nothing? Really? Trading a 2021 7th for a guy you need now is NOT "mortgaging the future".
16

215
Whether Trubisky turns it around this season (he should get at least to last year's level) or no, Ryan Pace needs to draft a quarterback next year either as a replacement or as a viable option second stringer. Chase Daniel is an old, expensive placeholder and that's not enough.

Next year Chicago needs to draft a quarterback, no matter whether Mitch gets his stuff together or not. Chase Daniel is too expensive to bring back with our tighter cap situation, and Tyler Bray is out of practice squad eligibility.

When Ryan Pace drafted Mitch Trubisky, the pundits went wild stating that Pace's career resided entirely on whether Trubisky became a true franchise QB. Turns out they were all wrong. Building a top-to-bottom roster as good as Chicago's has will earn a LOT of slack.

You know what? I don't even care, I really don't. Justin Fields was not just "OK", he was outstanding. 17-29, 291 with a tuddy and a tipped INT, another 45 yards rushing for 336 total yards while playing against both the Steelers and the Zebras. 2021 is 100 percent about Fields.
