Ryan Poles is owed an apology. He took over a broken franchise with the most dead cap money and no 1st round pick, then completely rebuilt it: • Hired Ben Johnson, who said Poles was a major reason he chose Chicago • Drafted Caleb Williams, Darnell Wright, Colston Loveland, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and Kyler Gordon • Traded for future Hall of Famer Joe Thuney Every GM has misses. Poles turned the Bears into a legitimate title contender. Don’t take him for granted.

Regardless of what happens in SF, I don’t see Ben Johnson taking his foot off the gas vs. Detroit next week. Detroit ran it up. Went for it on 4th. Ben’s not forget. Our offense needs the work too. He’ll be looking to send his old team to Cancun the right way. #Karma

Caleb should have thrown 0 interceptions yesterday. 1. Missed roughing the passer penalty 2. Loveland doesn’t do his job 3. DJ completely gives up on his route You will see a bunch of accounts expose their football knowledge by talking about his INTs.

Last year, the 49ers bullied the Bears 38–13 and held Chicago to just 162 total yards. Chicago rebuilt the roster, but most of the core is still here and they haven’t forgotten. Now the Bears are 11–4 while San Francisco is 10–4 and looking shaky. Looking forward to Caleb and Ben handing Shanahan the L at Levi’s.

Chicago can save $8.4M by cutting Cole Kmet. They shouldn’t. Ben Johnson builds offenses with complete TEs who catch and block Kmet in 6 seasons: • 288 rec • 2,939 yards • 21 TDs • 70%+ catch rate • Missed 2 games I think #85 will be repping his hometown team in 2026.

The NFL needs to protect the face of the league. Caleb Williams has drawn 0 roughing the passer penalties in his first two NFL seasons. Zero. That’s unacceptable.

Let me get this straight. Caleb Williams: • No legal trouble • No locker room drama • First guy in, last guy out • Loves his family • Leads by example • Never throws teammates under the bus Yet somehow people want me to believe he’s not a leader or can’t win? 🤔

It’s honestly hilarious engaging with fans of opposing teams and seeing how fragile their egos really are. Oh, my QB paints his nails? Watch him stand flat-footed, rip a 50-yard piss missile touchdown dime while getting hit. 348 yards. 2 TDs. On your head.

Eddie Jackson was set to make $15M in 2024. Poles cut him, signed Kevin Byard for 2 years, $15M total. Byard’s response? All-Pro. Pro Bowl. 34 straight starts. 233 tackles. 8 INTs. 2 sacks. Leader of the defense. With multiple starting spots still to fill… Chef Poles is going to have to cook again.

If the Bears trade Tyson Bagent… should they consider bringing Justin Fields back as QB2? Let Fields sit in a Ben Johnson offense. A backup role with an offensive guru to actually develop and learn NFL timing/processing. He’s shown flashes of the big A (anticipation), but inconsistent mechanics and structure have held him back. Low risk backup. High end athletic upside. Potential future trade asset if he develops.

Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson told us the plan from the start. • Stay disciplined with the salary cap • Build through young, fast players It’s hard to imagine them breaking that philosophy now for a pricey center or a late career LT. They trust their talent evaluation and their scheme to find the right fits.

First game without Caleb Williams since Chicago was blessed with a once-in-a-lifetime leader. • 38 straight starts. • Sacked 97 times. • Never blamed his O-line, receivers, or coaches. • First guy in, last guy out. Just vowed to get better. We got you, 18. We’ll hold it down until you’re back. Caleb Williams (🎥 y/t: highpulsereelz)

The Caleb Williams “soft” takes are hilarious. He injured the same hamstring on a 59 yard run in the Pac-12 Championship and refused to leave the game. His next game? He broke the Cotton Bowl Record by going 37/52, 472 yards, and 5 TDs Question whatever, Caleb’s toughness isn’t one of them.

If Nahshon Wright resigns this offseason, Chicago legitimately has five starting CBs in one room: 1. Jaylon Johnson 2. Kyler Gordon 3. Tyrique Stevenson 4. Terrell Smith 5. Nahshon Wright Zah Frazier missed time but his ceiling is massive. Josh Blackwell brings leadership and veteran presence as a special teams contributor. Give Ryan Poles his credit. This room should be top 3 next year. 2026 is going to be fun.
