Ryan Poles was an offensive lineman when he played football. One would think that would give him the necessary expertise to find good blockers. Ozzie Newsome, a Hall of Fame tight end, drafted Todd Heap and Mark Andrews. John Lynch, a Hall of Fame safety, drafted Talanoa Hufanga. Martin Mayhew won...
When you lose 52-21, there is no explaining things away. That is a colossal beatdown. Head coach Ben Johnson called it a "kick in the teeth." That pretty much describes it. Needless to say, he wasn't happy. Too much about that game leaves a sour taste in the mouth. It wasn't just that the Detroit...
The Chicago Bears didn't have Jaylon Johnson in week one against Minnesota and it was pretty clear in the 4th quarter. He managed to return last weekend for the big matchup against Detroit. Things looked fine in the first half. Then Johnson exited the game and didn't return. That raised major red...
Stop if you've heard this before. A young man played college football but never played in the NFL. Rather than look for work elsewhere, he decided to give scouting a try. He finds quick success, winning a Super Bowl around a decade into his career. That helps catapult him up the ladder to where he...
Losing 52-21 raised all sorts of questions about the direction of your team. Ben Johnson has been on the job for two weeks and already has people questioning his validity. Make no mistake. He isn't going anywhere. The Chicago Bears hired him to right the ship and you don't change course after two...
It is one thing if your team doesn't have enough depth at certain positions. It is another when your high-priced players aren't earning their money. For the Chicago Bears, those crosshairs fall squarely on Montez Sweat. Since week 13 of last season, the veteran defensive end has one sack. That...
Putting a quarterback and head coach together isn't as easy as having a genius play caller combined with an elite talent. Plenty of pairings that looked great on paper wouldn't have bombed if that were the case. There must be a similarity of mentality between the two. They don't necessarily have to...
The quarterback was changed. The coaching staff was changed. GM Ryan Poles did everything possible to change the fortunes of the Chicago Bears. Now, through the first two games of 2025, his team is 0-2 and just got crushed 52-21. These humiliations have become all too familiar in Poles' tenure....
Optimism was high going into this season. Then again, it's always high in the summer. Chicago Bears fans were thrilled to see Matt Eberflus get fired last year. Many felt it had to happen sooner. It was even better when Ben Johnson was hired as the replacement. This would give people an honest view...
If we've learned anything as Chicago Bears fans over the last quarter-century, it is that change doesn't always lead to better things. Ted Phillips was a constant with the organization for 23 years as team president. In that time, the Bears only had six playoff trips. He wasn't solely responsible...
Matt Eberflus was a confusing choice for head coach in 2022. Nobody could argue his success as a defensive coordinator in Indianapolis. His efforts helped them make the playoffs twice. However, he never popped up much on lists of future head coaches to watch. While that isn't always a red flag, it...
The Chicago Bears had high hopes for their defense going into training camp. Their talent roster was strong at every level and a new defensive coordinator was in charge. Dennis Allen had a solid reputation going back years. He'd bring plenty of creativity and aggressiveness to the table. However,...
