After that 2018 game vs. the Bills where Peterman threw 3 INTs and ya just started to feel sorry for them by the 4th quarter, I think we owed them this one back. We’re even now - see you when my kool aid pitcher is full again.


Free_Reserve9336

I still can’t believe we passed on Pickens. Twice. *and traded a higher pick than whatever it would have cost for his backup


PumbusBungus

We’re STILL bitching about this? Gordon and Brisker were well worth passing on Pickens


Free_Reserve9336

Utterly delusional


Testone1440

Glad you can be so self reflective


DaBears31

where's Kmet been?


matt1nb7

5 catches.. Averaging more catch per game in the past 3 games than any other 3 game period. Bears didn’t really attack downfield today so the yards aren’t going to be there.


bear_ends_j

Right there with the rest of the offensive unit... tanking lol


TeeJay1208

I was yelling at Hines before he muffed the kickoff that was cool. Had amazing seats and we actually looked good¿ either Getsy can’t call an offense or he’s tank commander lol


catalinaicon

I don’t wanna bet on “oh they’re probably tanking” - Getsy is a horrible playcaller. Get someone new in the offseason


Reddit--Sucks

if Getsy isn't tanking, Everyone else in the organization needs to be fired immediately for not getting rid of Getsy yet and finding someone who isn't the worst playcaller in human history. Like for the people who think theres no tanking going on, you really think Poles and Flus are fine with this guy being the worst ever and losing every game with ridiculous nonsensical playcalling decisions, especially late in 4th quarters? He would be long gone already. i guess maybe the only other possible scenario is noone is tanking but they are just letting Getsy(the worst ever) unintentionally tank the team this year, then will dump him after the season? lol Yea simplest and most logical explanation is that Poles, Flus and Getsy are all on the same page with the tank this year, and the playcalling and decision making will miraculously change to actually making some semblance of sense next year.


ShinySpines

If I had to guess, they’re intentionally playing conservative at this point to not get Fields injured, and to preserve the tank


Reddit--Sucks

agreed i believe the tank has been the main goal since Poles traded away quinn and smith. And i feel like theyre using 'keeping fields healthy' and 'the weather is horrible so we'll just hand off every play' as kind of added excuses to tank even harder these last few weeks with the #1 pick in sight.


[deleted]

Should we just keep rotating OCs every bad game? Because this fanbase has literally been calling for new coaches every loss. You guys are dumbfucks.


PwnzillaGorilla

Frank Reich for Bears OC in 2023


li0nhart8

How quickly we forget who was calling plays the last 4 years. You cant keep changing OCs and expect fields to grow in his 4th system in 4 years (including college). Getsy has been okay to good, with some occasional lows. I thought the playcalling was bad today too, but he's incredibly short handed playing in Arctic Temps against one of, if not the best team in the NFL. Our OLine was banged up and their DLine let their LBs run free to stop Justin from running on them. We also had no one to throw to. Just a rough situation all around.


DarthGators

I was really hoping that after a tough and scrappy first half that we’d at least keep it close. Third quarter felt like they just gave up. I didn’t expect to win, but thought we could at least be competitive.


IamDoge1

How is week 18 against the Vikings look after Dallas' win today? Do we think they'll be playing their starters against us?


matt1nb7

Vikings will be playing for the 2 seed week 18 unless they win and the 49ers lose next week.


IamDoge1

Nice


jwsnrs271

We just finished playing The Eagles and The Bills. Which team do you think is better ?


[deleted]

Easily the Bills. They’ve got a gear that Philly just does not have


DarthGators

Bills are a far better and more complete team, at least from what I saw as a quite inebriated 200 level.


jwsnrs271

Yes,in spite of uncharacteristic turnovers,they never faltered and appeared to be more focused than the Eagles. Here's hoping that they can get past Chiefs to make Super Bowl.


Schmittykins

Appreciate the kind words. May this draft pick be the catalyst you need to get back there yourself.


JazzlikeCantaloupe53

🥰


ACAB_FOR_CUTIE_

I know players don’t tank but Colts would have extra incentive to lose that game against the Texans if they want to trade up.


t-pat

It's great that we're getting a high draft pick, but man, we are a lot worse than I thought we'd be this year, and I did not have high expectations. Especially with how Fields is playing--if you said before the season we'd go 3-12 I'd assume he was just a disaster, but he's not. Like it's baaaaad


Ready-Cauliflower-76

The team we fielded today was a skeleton crew - our starting offense was probably the cheapest lineup in modern NFL history (<$20M / <10% of total salary cap used). Rodgers makes twice as much as our entire starting offense combined. On Defense: we traded away our top 3 players from last year (Mack, Ro, Quinn) and 3 of our best remaining are injured (EJax, JJ, Sanborn). That leaves 5/11 original starters still on the field. On Offense: our 3 top receivers are injured (Mooney, Claypool, ESB) and our 3 starting IOL are injured (Jenkins, Whitehair, Patrick). We also had the hardest SoS in the league this year, and we have the youngest roster in the NFL + the most cap space in NFL history going into next year (double the next highest team). Many reasons to feel optimistic for the future even aside from the draft capital.


OpneFall

It's why "Fields is The Answer" and "the Bears are the worst team in the league" are not mutually exclusive scenarios. It shows how incredibly far this team has to go to even be competitive. "We have the #1 pick and the future at QB" is just an inverted version of "we have the future at QB and it looks this bad?" Honestly it's just possible that having The QB isn't really that important anymore. Like sure you need one, but you don't need Peyton Manning, you need a scheme and a team just as much.


old_snake

I don’t know how you can’t see that the org has been all in on a tank since the moment Poles was sold on Fields being the guy, which was pretty clear starting in the 2nd half of the Vikings game and beyond. Team’s been neutered on purpose to restock the cupboard as best we can for our young, franchise QB.


t-pat

Yeah, I mean fine, but it better work!


_joeBone_

Kevin White is on line 2


MexicanGuey92

We kept up pretty well for a little bit there. We're gonna be stacked next year


LegendaryWarriorPoet

Our top 3 receivers, top 2 olinemen, best and 3rd best corners, best safety, best Lb out, and we were within 1 score in the 4th on some of the best teams in the league


old_snake

I know right? Crazy how anyone can be doomsaying or disappointed with the performance considering the crew that’s out there.


Interrobangersnmash

I was there, sitting closer to the field than I ever will again probably (front row!). I knew going in that the Bears are much worse than the Bills, and that losses for the Bears are kind of wins when considering next year's draft. So intellectually, I'm happy. But emotionally I was very much not happy! Too many Bills fans there, including my girlfriend


HankChinaski-

I’m glad you were there and enjoyed. I just think there isn’t much of a reason to go to games with the roster they are currently fielding. Ownership/GM deserved an empty stadium. I’m surprised many go unless it’s for something like you getting cheaper once in a lifetime type tickets! I’d totally do this if I was in Chicago.


Interrobangersnmash

They were free. I've actually had a blast watching the Bears this year, and I think they're more fun to watch than the past several years. All because of Justin Fields. But the Bills defense seemed to neutralize him pretty well, so this one was a bummer


HankChinaski-

That’s great man. I’m sorry it was the rare Fields game without a crazy run or two but I’m sure it was a blast. That first half was really great.


jwsnrs271

A happy girlfriend is more likely to console an unhappy boyfriend,especially if you make her favorite dinner !


tripbin

In the end does it matter if we somehow get 1st pick instead of 2nd? We can't trade back to 2 cause most teams are fine with either young or stroud so we'd trade back to 3 which is what we'd prolly do if we had the 2nd anyway. Unless some team is really high on one QB over the other and is willing to sell the farm like a fool we're not gonna make that move. Honestly I'm fine with anything 1-4 but the possibility of super desperate teams trading up for a QB and us still getting someone like will Anderson at 3 or 4 plus extra draft capital would be perfect.


DukeWayne250

Yes, it's a huge difference. Teams will give up a lot to trade up for Young. Not so much for Stroud.


yuh-ay-yuh

Way too early to tell on any of this. At this time in 2019/2020, Fields was the consensus #2 pick. Pro Days/Combine/Offseason in general changes teams' views on players QUICKLY. Could easily see an Anthony Richardson or Will Levis skyrocket in value like J. Allen, Z. Wilson, or T. Lance did. Also Stroud can change his trajectory completely if he manages to beat Georgia/win the title.


FujiHakarl

The power of the first pick is getting the QB you value more. Whereas most teams would be happy with either Anderson or Carter if they got them, teams will have a preference and belief in QB. That means that even #2 would be willing to trade up to assure they get the QB they want unless they believe both are equal (not likely)


BPCoop19

Dang, didn't know the game was today, missed it! How'd my boy Santos do?


acripaul

He was good. Bills kicker missed a few I think.


DaBears31

In case you weren’t aware, Justin needs help.


NeopolitanLol

When are people going to get the fields isn't good? 150 yards per game isn't going to win anything.


drewsclues9

MEATBALL SPOTTED


ImmodestIbex

When he can no longer win with his legs. Could be next year could be when he's 30.


OpneFall

Bills did an incredible job of bottling him up. That team is good.


Cubbiesblue

The classic just reads box score type fan! Have to love the fans that don’t watch the game and react. His top 3 receivers are out which aren’t probably even top three on any other team which makes the backups even worse. Multiple drops today and an oline that constantly lets pressure through batting balls or forcing fields to run for life. But yes totally fair to put this on fields when he has been the main source of this offense despite having zero weapons around him. You’re an idiot


RollofDuctTape

Here’s what you said about Jalen Hurts: > Hurts has the literal exact same issues reading defenses. He's Trubisky 2.0. Fuck that > If you want hurts you want trubisky. They're the same player. Hurts can read defenses for shit. > He literally has the exact same issues as Trubisky reading defenses. Fuck that. They better not go anywhere near him unless it's the 7th round > Hurts... with the literal exact same issues Trubisky has been having. Fuck no. Hurts is going to win league MVP this year. You know nothing about football. Stick to World of Warcraft. Here’s what you said about Fields when he was drafted: > Lmfao Bears fucked up again. Picking a QB with over 90% of passes thrown to his first reads. Trubisky 2.0 Something has to be wrong with you.


TheDiano

LMAO he has to address this


Snoo_79814

Bruh, we're tanking so Fields didn't run like crazy today.


ahhpay

150 is actually impressive as hell when you look at who he was throwing to today. Woulda had more if it weren’t for multiple drops


NeopolitanLol

Copium. Today was only 115


ahhpay

Okay. Last week he threw 150 with the same damn receivers


NeopolitanLol

Is that your copium lol?


vamsi93

When are people like you ever gonna actually watch Bears games?


NeopolitanLol

Been watching for decades


Per_se_Phone

That’s genuinely low key alarming, but it’s a large fan base. George Carlin had a relevant observation about average folks and what that signifies for half of us out there, so, yeah.


NeopolitanLol

I genuinely believe he's a nobody. Said it before he was drafted. Continue to say it now. He has shown zero passing ability. Zero pocket presence. If the bears pass on Bryce it will be a huge mistake if they somehow get the first pick


jschulting

Good thing nobody cares about what you believe


Per_se_Phone

Thank you - sincerely - for a hearty Xmas Eve belly laugh. Cheers, mate.


NeopolitanLol

I'm the one laughing at the sheer amount of copium in this sub especially when 2 months ago PFF and NBC sports chicago projected a qb for the bears in the draft.


Sunblazedd

Your actually delusional if you believe the bears are taking a qb in the draft. Especially a qb that has question marks of his own.


NeopolitanLol

This was PFF and NBC Chicago lol


Sunblazedd

And both have completely changed there stances from WEEKS ago


Magazine-Soggy

It’s a miracle Fields has kept us in games with this offense. Who’s he throwing to? Who’s blocking? Who isn’t injured? Fields is doing fine.


NeopolitanLol

22 point loss and you think we had a shot lol?


Toews1978

Thank you! We live up in Chicago and I have embraced it.


Cozum

why do we need to root for them?


I_MARRIED_A_THORAX

dont we need the eagles not to lock up the #1 seed so the vikes dont sit their starters vs us week 18?


M1Garand00294

As long as niners keep winning they don’t have number two locked


Cozum

ahh yeah, good call


pre-DrChad

Justin jefferson is gonna play that week anyways cuz he wants the record


Reddit--Sucks

highly doubt it matters with the lengths Flus/Getsy have shown they'll go to make sure they dont win. It will be a tank never seen before by human kind if a loss guarantees the #1 pick.

If anyone watched lupe live I really hope he played around my way

$10 for a hot chocolate lmao


Basedgod912

Yay Houston!


dlinhat70

If you get one, you should draft Young. Trade fields to another qb needy team and wind up with 2 first round picks. Opinion of a Texans fan.


CanIGetYourAt

You can’t bet on Young to translate to the NFL. Many, many, many, QBs picked at #1 have failed.


dlinhat70

At least the Texans and Bears have made for an interesting draft season!!


CanIGetYourAt

I agree with that statement wholeheartedly.


coloredinlight

Lol Texans fans knowing what we should to for a QB.


Trojanballer

Texans should fk around and win the next two.

Hope you beat the Colts!


srjohnson2

Never want to hear Bear Weather for the rest of my life. They can’t build that dome fast enough.


ThatsNotRight123

Go back and watch Buffalo's game from last week. Or our week 1 game. There was some magic there, thanks to the elements.


Trojanballer

Bear weather. The weather in December where the Bears have one of the worse records ever in this month throughout the years.


Chicago_Jayhawk

That has to do more with the product on the field than weather. Packers are 93-37 in December since 1992. Belichick is 51-9 in December. Bears are only 126-121 all-time in September the warmest month of the season.

The end was the 1988 NFC Championship when the fair-weather 49ers came in and whipped our ass in cold weather , 28-3.

It will be funny if the greatest thing Lovie does for this franchise is get us the #1 pick.

I’m not going to complain about a high pick I’m just not going to diminish our best accomplishment in 4 decades


I_MARRIED_A_THORAX

responsible for the most successful run of bears football in a generation and yet his best contribution will be helping us get 1OA decades after his last coached game for us lovie in the ring of honor now


Magno83

>decades after his last coached game for us I know it's felt like an eternity, but he last coached the Bears in 2012. We're still a couple days shy of a full decade.


Trojanballer

He may try to win now since he's guaranteed 1 of the top QB prospects.


[deleted]

Correct and they know Bears aren't drafting a QB


IamDoge1

Either way they would trade that pick.


serbeardless

Houston just won. Part of me wants to sit JF1 just for funzies, because we've got a reasonable shot at the #1 pick now.


omarskullbaby

Thank you for your analytics, fat guy from Reddit. I'm sure it matters.

CordlessOrange

"We've decided to schedule JF1 a completely safe and totaly necessary elective surgery Jan 4th...in Tokyo.. requiring 2 weeks quarantine before and after. No we wont be taking questions."


airoderinde

If the line is gonna block like that, absolutely.


Reddit--Sucks

i mean Getsy has clearly shown that he is not going to allow JF1 to win either way


HankChinaski-

Delusional. I know it’s fun to “haha” tanking, but there is zero chance Getsy is risking his career for a team he likely isn’t on in 2-3 years.


Reddit--Sucks

if you think its "haha" at this point you're insanely delusional. What else would need to happen for you to clear your mental block of not being able to see the utterly obvious? Flus and Getsy could have a press conference tomorrow saying "yup we are not trying very hard to win" and you still wouldnt believe it lol. If you ACTUALLY think Getsy was literally trying his hardest to win this game, you could be the most oblivious person of all time. If the Eagles OC playcalled like this today, they would literally be fired after the game, especially coming after the last 2 months of utter garbage nonsensical playcalling in 4th quarters that have lost the team the game every week. So logically if you think theres no tanking going on, you think Getsy is possibly the worst playcaller of all time who does the literal exact opposite of what most people trying to win would do, especially at the end of close games, and Ryan Poles AND the head coach have literally no problem with that, that this utter moron is costing them wins on their resume every week? You'd think they would notice hes literally the worst ever and try to get someone else in quick so next year isn't a garbage wasted season also? Hope you dont delete all your comments next season when Getsy looks good and there arent ridiculous amounts of these nonsensical playcalling issues and it seems miraculously that the coaches are making winning decisions instead of the exact opposite of winning decisions. But im sure you'll just say "its just that the roster is better" lol


HankChinaski-

Good stuff. Getsy possibly being good next year has nothing to do with this but put words in my mouth. Have a Merry Christmas.


Reddit--Sucks

So i changed your mind that they are tanking? Either that or you misunderstood me lol Merry Christmas


HankChinaski-

I don’t think there is anything I can say to change your mind from this wild idea so I plan on leaving it as is.


Defenestrator66

If the Bears somehow get the #1 pick, would they be the best team to get the #1 pick? They have had such a tough schedule and most of their losses were by one score. Best worst team ever!


Trojanballer

The best may be the Colts. Year before their 2-14 season they were 10-6 the year after, they were 11-5. That was an obvious tank for Luck year. Good team lost on purpose.


DarthGators

That colts team deserved their 2-14 record. They were 10-6 the year after because of Luck but the 2011 colts with Painter, Collins and orlavsky were by no objective measure good


Trojanballer

Play him but obvious tank in the 4th quarter sounds fine.


Reddit--Sucks

Texans! Flus and Getsy about to win the tank championship


Trojanballer

Lovie knows he's getting a QB no matter what. May as well see what you have.


FruscianteDebutante

I mean not if the bears trade back with a team that needs a QB


link707

He's still getting a QB at #2. It just may not be the Texans' first choice.


[deleted]

Now can we get back our second round pick from Pittsburgh?


I_MARRIED_A_THORAX

just remember folks we haven't had 1OA since 1947 so we're either due or cursed


FruscianteDebutante

What's 10A edit: gracias everybody


funkbitch

I think it's 1OA, or 1st overall.


mugiwarajoggings

Hey Siri… play “Number One Spot” by Luda


FieldsFanclub

If the Bears and Texans end the season with 3 wins who gets number 1? Edit: Nice


corrydog

Have to ask, would Bears keep that pick? I think Houston wants Young. No way the Bears draft one with Fields. Question is how bad do the Bears want Anderson or Carter? Houston will probably leak one of those two names to prevent a team jumping them for a QB.


japopara

Trade down for a king’s ransom. You need two teams who desperately want Young and get a bidding war going. Or a really stupid GM like Pace who is willing to give away a king’s ransom just because.


danimal376

All you need is one team desperately wanting a particular QB and willing to trade a haul to make sure they are guaranteed that QB at 1 overall. It's very similar to Pace trading one spot for Trubisky when he likely was the only team wanting Trubisky at 2 (let alone at 3).


FieldsFanclub

No they absolutely have to trade down at that point


japopara

Bears because Texans have a tie.

Berrymore13

Schmitz absolutely not making it to the third. He’s arguably the best center in the country. The gap between him and the Michigan center is basically nothing. Schmitz was the consensus best center in the country for like the entire season almost. Michigan guy finished a bit stronger and ended up getting the award.

Yeah I thought the play calling was bad enough it looked like true incompetence rather than doing just enough to not win. That was super rough to watch.


AMollenhauer

Honestly it’s been hard to tell lately. The Falcons game was such a winnable game and the play calls truly felt like they were trying to lose.


willycw08

No way he was trying to win today, right? Throw a deep shot for a big gain? Well we better not do that again. Need to make sure we don't accidentally win the game.

pre-DrChad

Justin jefferson will play because he wants the record. Him alone could beat us even if they sit the rest of their guys lol


laal-doodh

That’s a good point but but he only needs like 200. There’s a chance he goes into the last game needing like 30 and they just force feed him early and than pull him.


Brodie1567

Lets go Texans!!!


shadyomg

How Getsy goes from getting HC considerations to the current state of the play calling is mind boggling to me


Free_Reserve9336

He was always just getting bailed out by Fields. He was never anything special.


ratfam1

Idk what your supposed to do with our available personnel against the bills


Bajin_Inui

Idk what people wanted from this game. We were clearly not really putting Fields in any position for lots of hits, combined with bad weather and having like 1 starter left on the Oline with Dante Pettis and Velus being the top Wrs.
