October 05, 2023 07:03 - 33 minutesThe Chicago Bears have the talent to beat the Washington Commanders, but they haven't been able to play consistently for four quarters.

How much blame does Ryan Poles deserve for Chicago Bears failures? Should he get fired too?
October 04, 2023 07:03 - 33 minutesIt's only a matter of time before the Chicago Bears fire Matt Eberflus and the coaching staff, but it's less clear whether general manager Ryan Poles will keep his job. He deserves blame for helping choose Eberflus as head coach, plus the disastrous Chase Claypool trade. But Poles has also made smart moves for the Bears in the draft, and some of his other additions might look better with the right coach.

How can Chicago Bears still get better after 0-3 start?
September 27, 2023 07:03 - 32 minutesThe Chicago Bears are surrounded by criticism and negativity, for good reason. But they can still get better after an 0-3 start. Matt Eberflus and Luke Getsy can do more as coaches to put their players in a better position to be successful, and they could start benching players that aren't playing up to a high enough standard.

Chicago Bears approaching rock bottom with helpless Week 3 loss to Kansas City Chiefs
September 25, 2023 07:04 - 31 minutesIt doesn't get much uglier than what the Chicago Bears put out against the Kansas City Chiefs. Matt Eberflus had no answers for Patrick Mahomes, and Justin Fields couldn't get much of anything going for the Bears until garbage time.

Chicago Bears face Kansas City Chiefs team with offensive struggles of their own
September 21, 2023 07:03 - 32 minutesThe Chicago Bears are a mess right now, but the Kansas City Chiefs are dealing with some of their own issues. Even with Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs offense hasn't been running smoothly, with penalties, dropped passes and receivers running the wrong routes. If the Bears could somehow pull of the miracle upset, it would take Kansas City beating themselves just as much as Justin Fields beating them.

CRAZY day for Chicago Bears: Justin Fields criticizes coaching, walks it back; Alan Williams resigns
September 20, 2023 21:03 - 31 minutesWednesday was the single most insane day for the Chicago Bears of at least the last 10 years. Justin Fields criticized the offensive coaching and then walked it back. Wild rumors came out about defensive coordinator Alan Williams, some of which have been denied by the Bears, and then he resigned. And, oh yeah, left tackle Braxton Jones landed on injured reserve out of nowhere.

Chicago Bears defense has struggled under Matt Eberflus: How much is his fault?
September 20, 2023 07:03 - 30 minutesThe Chicago Bears hired a defensive head coach, but the defense has not been good since Matt Eberflus took over. How much falls on coaching and how much falls on the personnel that Eberflus has worked with? It's not black and white, but the head coach could do more to make up for his team's deficiencies.

September 18, 2023 07:03 - 30 minutesThe Chicago Bears' Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wasn't solely Justin Fields' fault, but he held his offense back more than they inhibited him.

Justin Fields isn’t making enough progress. Chicago Bears OL and play-calling didn’t help in loss to Packers
September 13, 2023 07:03 - 29 minutesThe Chicago Bears need to see more development from Justin Fields. The game he got from his offensive line and offensive coordinator against the Green Bay Packers didn't make it easy for him. Fields is running out of time to show the type of progress the Bears need from him this season, and eventually he needs to prove he can perform consistently even when things around him aren't helping. He is showing some signs of growth, though. And there's still time to turn things around. Become a Lock...
Ryan Poles' biggest additions disappoint in Bears loss to Packers: Edmunds, Edwards, Claypool & more
September 12, 2023 07:04 - 30 minutesJustin Fields and Luke Getsy have rightfully been at the center of the criticism coming from the Chicago Bears Week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers, but one of the overlooked themes from the game was the big free agent signings and trades underachieving. Tremaine Edmunds and TJ Edwards couldn't take away the middle of the field. DeMarcus Walker and Rasheem Green weren't disruptive on the defensive line. Nate Davis and Lucas Patrick couldn't block up front. And Chase Claypool did not give good...

Neither was the play-calling from offensive coordinate Luke Getsy. Neither was the pass rush. Neither was Justin Fields.

How Chicago Bears offense will look different for Justin Fields in 2023
September 04, 2023 07:03 - 32 minutesThe Chicago Bears didn't show their hand in the preseason, but Luke Getsy will add some new wrinkles to the offense for Justin Fields with the additions the team made at wide receiver, tight end and running back. Fields should be less of a runner in 2023, not because he shouldn't run but because he shouldn't have to run as much this season.
