Totally different qbs. It really hurts when Moore has been the only healthy WR.
Bears
- Thread starter blueline
- Start date
IMO, Houston was a top 5 pass rush last year. Then they add Denile Hunter. Could very well be the best pass rush in the NFL right now. We may get a much different view tomorrow.

Possibly the #1 reason along with the OL the Bears are struggling is OC Shane Waldron. He leaves the Seahawks and look at them now, 3-0. That 4th and goal call is just the icing on the cake. His play calling is awful!
The Bears trailed by two scores for just about 10 minutes game time. The rest was either a one score game, or 22 minutes of a scoreless tie. You aren't trailing by 3 TDs. Why would Waldron have a rookie QB drop back 56 times? Meanwhile only running 28 times, exactly one third, against a weak run D without their primary run stopper? I know the run was struggling yesterday but they gave up on it too quickly. That's on Waldron.

One of the more frustrating games to watch as a Bears fan. The overnight postgame show was pure gold as thr Justin Fields truthers were out in full force.
This week is a key game in the season. Home game against a non divisional opponent. And that opponent (Rams) are coming off a come from behind win over their biggest rival.

Tom Brady dropped a bomb on Sunday.
During Fox's broadcast of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Philadelphia Eagles game in Week 4, Brady revealed he almost signed with the Chicago Bears as a free agent in 2020. He ultimately signed with the Buccaneers.
Brady said that he created 18 criteria for each of the franchises he was considering after he walked away from the New England Patriots. He brought the notecards he used to help determine his next destination.
The three-time MVP said, "Chicago was a team, and I've never told that story before, they were very stealth in their recruitment. I was seriously considering, but in the end, it came down to Tampa. And it was close to my son Jack, I loved Bruce Arians and the role that he played in offense, and ultimately the great players like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin that I'm still out there watching today."

How about now!
There were only two guys. Why marry yourself to one of them 2 months before the draft? Thinking Daniels would do well wasn't going out on a giant limb; he WAS the 2023 Heisman winner.
I heard the media labeling this week as an "Andy Dalton revenge game". Dalton has been with so many teams, aren't most of his games revenge games?

If Poles doesnt draft williams and he goes on to be good or better he is the guy who passed on williams.
Draft williams and if he busts its " well everyone would have taken him...thats the breaks " and poles lives on.
Williams has improved its only 4 games in...maybe he can be good despite this staff/orginization

I think that was the thinking heading into the 2023 season. But who won the Heisman last year and deservedly so? It was as if their minds were made up the second the season was over, and being inflexible not a good thing when drafting players.
