For the soccer experts I’ll like to get your opinion on what we can learn from the recent Bears revival.
Background: - Poles did not have a good season early in his bears career. Multiple questionable picks and he finally figured out. Monaghai, Loveland and that defense is legit. At one point it was rumored he was in the hot seat
- The QB situation was a laughing stock last year and early this season. Caleb is playing well (whatever that means) and not putting the team in harm’s way
- Ben Johnson and staff. When the season started they were in sixes and sevens and now they are on a 6 game win streak and about to beat the Eagles in Philly
So I am not sure if the answer is patience or clean house but I find it frustrating watching the Bears get better while we falter especially given the fact that we beat them in Chicago
Thoughts are welcome

I think its a little of both, we need to clean house on our scouting/drafting department, and allow what we do have to simmer a bit to see what we really have, hoping that if they dont pan out that the new offseason team is able to use the draft picks better than the current group has. I think our lack of depth and support players has been as much of an issue as our lack of competent QB play.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

I'm still not sure how real the Bears are or aren't. My $ is still on Lions or Packers to with the North.
But an impressive showing today.
Definitely trending in the right direction which is the opposite of the Vikings. Just another datapoint to add to our fan misery

it takes 3-4 years to clear a bad draft.
In 2025 we're seeing the 2021 draft play out
2022 kwesi first draft will be in full effect next year in 2026.
Translation= rough waters ahead

Their QB, after 29 starts, is playing better now. Ours, after 6, is not. It really is no more complicated than that.

...and I know the media and some fans are crowning him, but he was 17/36 and 154 yards with one TD and one INT. The Bears ran for 281 yards: that's the story. The guy threw for a 48% completion percentage. But the hype machine NFL narrative is Caleb is a God, so I'll step out of the way of the hype train.

Honestly, Love had a much better game than Caleb...And thats a 5 year vet vs 1.5 year.
I honestly dont recall Caleb coming in with a lower floor than McCarthy - but he was also the #1 pick overall.
I'd have no issue still hoping for hope with JJM, if he would just show a modicum of progress - just a smidge.

He will. I just have my doubts we'll see it this year.

That would make for a long off-season unfortunately...Give me something good to chew on till the draft eh?
I (we) are deserved of that after this shitshow season to-date
I hope the kid can handle the speculation, stress and scrutiny that'll come with it.
