I'm still quietly fuming over how we looked yesterday, but realize at the end of the day it is just one game. After hearing from Flus again later today, I'll be turning my attention to the TB game and expect to see a better showing (since that's all you can really do).
After having gotten the chance to look at the tape, I expect the media to grill him more this afternoon and him responding with more specifics on how they plan to attack things going forward.
My thought process in order to keep sane and level-headed:
You can say it's Field's fault for w/e your reasons are (I'm not in that camp, personally),
you can blame it on the OL for not doing the greatest job in protection,
you can say the coaching staff and game plan stunk after having an entire offseason to prepare,
...but the season is a journey.
We were the worse team in the L for a reason last season, so my first expectation is to show actual improvement NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES TO GET TO THAT POINT.
Whether that means demotions -- players OR staff responsibilities -- there should be no regard for hurt feelings.
If a guy can't do the job, it's Flus's job to do what needs to be done (ie. him taking a larger roll in getting this defense right or adjusting the offensive playcalling responsibilities, etc.).
I didn't have any specific expectations but I think Poles added enough to the roster for us to look better than that. Dudes sound dejected after the game as if they didn't believe in the plan. And that's on the coaches to correct.
They need to generate a pass rush consistently. I still don't understand why they cut Terrell Lewis after his preseason in order to sign some rando DE who was just as unproven.
Blitz more cause the front 4 have been incapable of doing what they need to particularly on passing downs.
Put Whitehair back at Center. Patrick has been given multiple opportunities and he's never looked good. I'd rather risk it with Carter at Guard and see what happens until Jenkins is back.
Nate Davis can go too!!!
Right now it's not looking good for the coaching staff or Poles
The o and d lines don't look like an improvement and most importantly neither does Justin

Honestly, it's everyone involved. They all needs to play and coach better.Bruh I hear ya but I dont know when we can start saying fields isnt the QB
for our franchise. One reason being, the ineptness of the coaching staff
Getsy and Def coord Williams had one of the worse play schemes.
I realize its only the first game but Holy shit. Why is limp wristed TE
Kmet running a down and out, a wheel route and slant pattern. he could barely
run routes. That fool had a decent game but not like he was going to break tackles
or stiff arm anyone.
Eberflues actually didn't know why DJ Moore wasn't on the 1st an 8
near the goalline in the 1st half. Can you imagine the head fuckin coach
doesn't know why there #1 trade pick isn't in the lineup for a first down play.
THA FUKK, who does that.
Defense is literally playing the 2005 design of the cover 2, how to attack,
run up the middle and screen plays off tackles.

Bruh they ruined the whole season for me...smh lol. Now some of these fans want a new QB, talking about drafting Caleb Williams if we get the chance. Shit the Bears would ruin him too....lol year after year its the same ol shit. What I want to know is how do you have a defensive head coach and your defense still sucks. They drafted a safety and a corner last year in the 2nd round, this year they draft 2 D tackles in the early rounds, then the spent money on 3 defensive free agents, wait make that 4 because they signed the pass rusher? And the defense is still trash.I watched some of the bears pass plays
I say Fields missed about 3 open WRs/TEs, but I also saw WR/TEs not being able
to get separation on a majority of their route running.
Claypool gave probably one of the worse performances I ever seen
from a wideout. His body language seem like he didnt want to play.
Also, Getsy play calling was so bad, it seems like the packers
knew where the play formation and the develop of each play.
I know the players play the game but he became very predictable on his play calls.
I have to give fudgePackers coaches props, they made a simple effective game plan
for Love. Kind of reminiscent on what nagy should have done for Fields 2 years ago.
Fudgepackers notices that the BEARS DLine wasnt applying any pressure.
BOOM they opened the playbook in the 2nd half. GAME OVER!!
BEARS got outplayed in the trenches and outcoached.
Flus is trying to be CEO and let Williams do his thing, but he's gonna have to get more involved for sure.Bruh they ruined the whole season for me...smh lol.

I like to give brotha's a chance but Alan Williams has been terrible, you constantly see guys missing assignments, dudes running down the field wide open. Then he don't make adjustments.Flus is trying to be CEO and let Williams do his thing, but he's gonna have to get more involved for sure.
Yea it's tough to speculate even though the timing is curious. Hope everything is good with his health and his family, on a personal note.Alan Williams isn't coaching this week due to personal reasons, I wonder what that's about
Exactly, his mental clock and surveying the field has to be more fastJustin is still holding the football too damn long and not securing the football
He's gun shy and a QB who is gun shy is a QB who has lost his confidence. You can tell DJ is getting frustrated because he's been open several times. The cries for Bagent are going to get louder and louder.Justin is still holding the football too damn long and not securing the football
