When the defense gives up only 6 points the game doesn’t come down to a mishandled TO. Game should have been over early if the offense showed up early but it’s like that every week. No early offense
Remember, the C on the helmets stands for comedy. The bears are the nfl comedy act. On a side note, it's quite amazing how badly run every chicago sports team is right now.
Poles admitted during an interview yesterday that the slow starts stem back to training camp...what!!! My opinion that is a huge indictment on him and his decision making on coaching hires, culture. The Oline leaking like a sieve is on Poles lack of quality investment (2nd cheapest Oline in NFL), and retaining Chris Morgan. Clean reset and align a new GM with the HC. Poles created this mess and should be out the door.
We still had downs where we could have moved the ball closer. We only needed like 3-5 yards to get it in his range. People need to stop blaming santos. He is an accurate kicker and there are much worse kickers out there. Coaches need to not do dumb things. Its the packers game all over again. Have no idea where these coaches came from
We could fill an entire page of what if questions when it comes to the Bears. They are the joke of the league, and somehow, someway, they are going to hire the biggest dud to replace Flus.
They drained 83 seconds on the two plays following the two-minute warning; it's like they were trying to run out their own clock. On 3rd and 14 the clock ran down to 1:15--they actually huddled and drained the entire 40 second play clock before the snap WHILE THE GAME CLOCK WAS RUNNING. And then on the following 1st and 10, the clock ran down to 0:37. Then Caleb threw an incomplete pass, stopping the clock at 0:31. Then, while the clock was stopped, the play clock ran out and they had to use the timeout that saved no time. I've never seen worse two-minute drill clock management in my entire life.
It’s funny how Bears management said that this season would be hard to make the team because there was so much depth! Is this a failure by management over-evaluating their talent or coaches failing to hone skills and teach the game or the players drinking their own kool-aid and failing to bring the effort needed to win? I’ve been watching this crappy team for 40 years. When does my exodus end with these losers? Poles is a mess. I know Swifty, you don’t agree. I guarantee that Poles will be making his exit soon enough. Only us fans will be left to continue watching the parade of fools trotted out and promising success. It’s not coming.

This team needs Johnson as the head coach and Robert Saleh for the defensive coordinator. But even with the right coaches this team is still 4-5 players away from each side of the ball. That means this team won’t have what it takes for another 2-3 years. Then there will be contracts up and then you possibly lose decent players. Man I hope before I die I’m able to see the real monsters of the midway back in this town. None of us ever thought that this would’ve happened to this team. Maybe Poles is just learning on the fly and that’s why we are seeing the unthinkable. Bill Belichick was right Poles built this team backwards. We have to now hope that coaches and free agents wanna come to this team. Crazy I thought CW was gonna lead the league in turnovers but he leads the league in sacks insane. It’s always wait till next year I’m tired of that . FGB!!

Honestly, I don't know who entire world saw more incompetent... Bear fanatic's ongoing 'loop reel' opinions or our O-line? Last 12 yrs. have been incompetent since THE last real HC we've really had in Uncle Lovie!
Just a reminder to the people that were sure Thomas Brown was the next Mike Tomlin a few weeks ago, it's a perfect example of the gamble it is to hire an unproven HC.
nobody said he was the next mike tomlin, literally nobody - what they said was Browns' demeanor reminded them of mike tomlin, good lord our fans are dumber than the our management
Yeah, perfect example of insanity of those blindly overlooking the last 3 of 4 HC we had were inexperienced losers and Fox was a stopgap but... let's roll the dice again and get somebody 'unproven'.... hmmm how DOES that sound??
“We suck”- Swift. Yet all these coaches were given the final approval by Ryan Poles, this final 53 man roster was given the final approval by Ryan Poles, we must fire Ryan poles for the mere fact we need to get a GM and head coach into Halas on the same contract timeline so we’re not firing a GM in a year then expecting the new GM to put up with the previous GMs head coach, FIRE POLES!
Is your comment fair in saying Downtown Brown (is incompetent) to be fired for calling t/o (first time this has happened). He said in post-game interview he changed his mind and decided to go for it, vs punting! Soo Flux should've been fired last year for ALL his gaffes and earlier this year! Our O-line was sad, and 'C' Bear wasn't consistent! enuf. None of you are complaining about DC Washington's D now, are you? NO COACH can coach this team with subpar O-line! Give T.B. (or any HC) an improved 0-line, improved/more depth on D-line and time to get this team organized after Flux catastrophe, and will be looking a different situation, I guarantee you.
They did half of what I said, play defense, but this was against a bad Seahawks team. Next week the Bears may as well wear Saints uniforms. Pack 35-0. Ownership has blamed the offensive coordinator, the head coach, so now Poles better watch out. The irony is the only common losers over the years is ownership.
lol your right we suck , how come defense sucks than offense plays well than lastnight offense sucks defense played good why not both play good. I almost can't handle being a bears fan anymore. about to just start watching college only
Defense played great and offense struggled BIG time tonight. One more week left, and it's offeseason time. Like you said in the last video, Swift. Build the trenches on both sides of the ball. I believe this team can be something with the right people to run and coach this team. Have a Happy New Year as well.
WE need not only starters on the lines we need quality depth. Not so sure we can fill so many spots in a off season. Maybe a few off season free agency n draft mocks will help, Bear Down Chicago our day will come one day lord willing before i kick the bucket hopefully LOL
Hey Swifty, do yourself a favor and change your logo. Poles ain’t cooking but already set the house on fire 🔥. You don’t look smart with that logo, your introspections of the team are valuable but are detracted by your loyalty to this poor GM. Only 14 wins in 3 years, Poles is only the king of losing and solidifying the basement in the Division. Thomas Brown shouldn’t have accepted the promotion as He didn’t get to install His coaches , system or players. Poles is the common denominator to dysfunction here. Only spent $23 million on the franchise QB’s protection and $10 million of that was released. $13 million is the cheapest OL in the NFL. Poles must go with your logo. Do yourself a favor and change it.
Fans taking that context out of quote, LITERALLY show me how much they don't understand about football. He was talking about REBUILDING and taking the North in the future. Never once did he mention taking it during the first year or two, fans are literally so dense
That fact you can go in on coaches but not bring that same level of scrutiny to players. Shows you're just speaking from emotions rn. Brown & Flus have the same look. It doesn't matter how much we practice, change things for players & are inspirational. The players still f it up on gameday & can't be trusted. Which puts a coach in a bad position.
@maxfirefantasyreport Which one? That players aren't being scrutinized as much as coaches. Or our roster isn't as good as we thought? Doesn't matter how good your coach is. They cannot coach hungry &/or God given ability.
While the time management was godawful, it was Jake Curhan's holding penalty which erased the go ahead TD was why the Bears lost.I believe Bears are now 7th in the drafting position. Makes for an interesting offseason.
It only shows us as 7th cause the Jets and Panthers haven't played yet. If they both lose (which is highly likely), we will still have the same pick #9.
I am Glad that after 60 plus years that I FINALLY Said enough is enough . The Owner Ship of this Team really needs to Sell this Team . People need to also say enough is enough and walk away from this Shit Show .
I think this an organizational failure - teams like the Rams have a game management coach to help with things like this and challenges. The bears are just too cheap to provide support staff other teams have.
Maybe your analysis on Poles is flawed and this team just sucks? I mean how many coaches go around the carousel here and it is always the coaches fault? Even if it is the coaches fault over and over, who is in charge of bring in the HC’s that then bring in the assistants, that’s right GM Ryan Poles!!
I’m giving the new of to new coach a pass. McCaskey bye. Caleb was good, but left a lot out there. If Caleb can accept his limitations, he gets the ball off with his feet planted, before the defense gets there. Act like you know Caleb
Seriously, I don't understand how people keep blaming 'McCaskey's' as if they are cursed which curses team, coaches and players! C'mon! We did win a SB under this 'McCaskey' curse though it's been a while but... subpar players, coaches, etc. and their executions, have a lot to do with our losing for past 12 yrs. since Lovie left.
Not here to say much. I just wanted to let Tremaine know that he is a linebacker and not a cornerback… if someone catches the ball over the middle you hit they ass ain’t nobody tryna see no pass deflections.
They need to clean house. Poles need to go!!!!! They need to blow it up!!!!! They need to bring in Johnson with a new GM. They need to give Ben Johnson control over the draft. Like I have been saying for over a month. Draft a Center in the first round, draft A left and right Guard in the second seconds round. Pick up 2 tackles in free agency. Pick as many rotational O Line we can get. Some swing tackles. Every coach needs to go. Every one of them. Damn, you now there going to blitz. You no the O Line sucks!!!! They could not come with some quick throws? My beloved Bears suck!!!!! Poles, spend some damn money!!!! Tired for hearing abut low cost players with potential up side. Get some player that can play!!!!
@@CEOTonez except it's not the mainstream narrative. The MSM is giving Caleb a pass on all his mistakes and blaming the OL and coaching. Caleb should not be starting at QB right now.
@@CEOTonez going to be great? Maybe. Is he great now? That's laughable. He's incapable of reading a defense or accounting for a blitz at the line right now. He has no processing skills. This isn't the development league. If he's not ready yet cuz he's a rookie OK I get it but then he shouldn't be starting. He should be watching from the bench and learning until he's ready to produce like a starting NFL QB should.
@jimbody man if you don't get yo goofy emotional a$$ off these comments, you're 🗑️ Jim go get some a$$ and chill out. I know that blue & orange don't run through your veins like me. ITS BEAUTY IN THE STRUGGLE!! 🐻⬇️ 4EVEAAA
Sorry The Whole Thing needs to be Torn Down From The GM Down to the Equipment Mgr. Poles Did a Few Good Things to Help The Team But His Bad Deeds 👎 are Not looking good 😕 this will be a Year to Remember when we had Top Expectations for this Team Bear Down is a Understatement.
As disfuncional as I have ever seen a Bears offense in my 40+ years of watching Bears football. They should be embarrassed to put that product out there.
Not only That I was at the Game and what I saw in person was So sorry I was not believing what I was Seeing, This is a Bad Team Sell the Team was the Chant and I agree
This is what happens when your previous HC leaves team that's spiritually in shambles and demoralized yet funny.... you or nobody else even mentions that Seattle scored 6 points.
Well, having Gordon flying around like his usual self really helped the D get back into better form. But Seattle's O line has been mentioned by many to be just as depleted and disorganized as Bears. The Bears just happened to be slightly worse, more mistake ridden and confused.
@@jsal8681 Okay, I respect your reply and rationale as I thought it was funny that the 6 points Bears gave up was unnoticed, yet they might make p/o's!
I'm just a fan, love to read about the Bears, and love Swifty's take on stuff. Im here like many just sharing, I just wish it was more positive instead of venting. Thing is I'm super frustrated by the all the BS and the Hype that we got coming into this season more than many in recent memory, to see it all be a house of cards. I mean yesterday it felt I saw the worse of Justin Fields but it was Caleb, did we run Getsy's playbook from the loss vs Tampa back in 2023? Terrible lack of creativity and using what looked to be same plays over and over again, minimal down the field stuff, can't run for 2 yards when you need them, or just terrible stupid mental mistakes.
Poles screwed the pooch with coaching decisions this year and that’s a fireable offense. Flush the toilet, start over. I’m disgusted with everyone but the players. They haven’t been great either but this can’t be blamed only on the players.
We could have also run the ball to get closer into Santos’ range. I have no idea why we were trying to get 10+ yard passes. We only needed a few yards!! Its the packers and the lions game all over again…BOTH COMBINED!
This was what I feared about making him interim coach, it has taken too much attention away from how he was improving the offense. Should have been Hightower..
Week 17 Caleb review Sacks- 4 Caleb’s fault and 2 on the OL/blocking Missed/skipped/late reads- 10! Drive1: -2&1, nice check down to Swift -2&5, Wright overset and allowed 10 a free run at Caleb who got a nice chip from Swift but force otp for throw away -3rd&5, Caleb had 2 open hot reads but was late to Allen and short. Allen should have caught it Drive2: -3rd&6, Rome settled but should have kept running (incomplete) vs cover-2 deep middle Drive3: -2&7, Caleb stepped into the SACK for no reason. Had wide open check down to swift with a lead blocker in Johnson -2&10, Kmet and Keenan both wide open and settled vs zone. Caleb passed on both and got pressured at 3.5+ second mark. Throw away Drive4: -2nd&3, Caleb again has over 3 seconds before trying to scramble and takes SACK instead of taking a quick check down for 10+ and calling a TO. Would have left 6-7sec for hailmary attempt or sideline throw for FG Drive5: -3rd&9, blitz off right (5-man), pressure gets to Caleb right at 3 sec. Had Allen underneath for about 5 and Kmet for a 1st down on a late release. Took hit/SACK instead Drive6: -1st&10(:24 in 3rd), exotic blitz cause miscommunication on the line for a SACK rather than throw. Not on Caleb but he could have zipped it out to swift, thrown it away, or not retreated for a 14 yard sack -2nd&24, Caleb threw into double coverage which would have been most likely picked. Batted at the line. Had DJ who he skipped over in the progression and Rome wide open in a clean pocket Drive7: -2nd&9, Caleb panicked and dirted a screen. 2 lead blockers and 10+ yards before the next defensive player. Swift looked visibly annoyed with Caleb -3rd&9, zone blitz was picked up well but Caleb panicked and stepped up into the SACK. Had Allen wide open for a 1st down Drive8: -4th&inches, this is a reference to Caleb’s mistakes but what a play to DJ for the 1st -1st&10 (2:05 in 4th), Caleb drops the snap and is SACKed. Pressure arrives in under 3 sec. -3rd&14, Caleb shows talent on conversion -1st&10 (:38 in 4th), Caleb had Kmet wide open over the middle for 10+ but holds it for 3.5 sec before getting pressured and throws it away -2nd&10, Caleb gets upset over calling TO but the coach saved him from a delay of game. No one was set with less than 2 seconds left. On the actual play, it was a great throw and WR choice. Rome should have turned for back shoulder not over the shoulder -3rd&10, bad accuracy and choice throwing into triple coverage. 3 man route on max-pro but Allen had 1on1 -4th&10, DJ beat his guy for game winning TD but Caleb held it too long on a know free runner play. Hit as he threw
I always wondered why Flus's assistant coaches didn't help him with his time management. I guess his assistants were helping him. I am so embarrassed being a fan. Bears are a big joke around the NFL.
I know you like Poles Swifty but I lay a lot of this at his feet. At the beginning of the year Poles was happy with this offensive line and the amount of depth it had, what depth? None of this offensive line has worked out except for D. Wright and B. Jones, and I'm starting to worry about Jones working out. Forget about T. Jenkins, he's not able to stay healthy and should not be brought back to this team. Amegadjie needs a lot of work, he's not a capable back up right now or for the foreseeable future. And what's up with the tight ends on this team? Kemet is not even being used in the passing game nor is Everett. This is unheard of, Oh but we're talking about the Bears here just wasting their talent. Thomas Brown has been so bad he should never be a head coach in this league again. I agree with all the fans I heard yelling sell the team, but we all know that's not going to happen. I truly believe that Warren could help right the ship but to me that means firing poles also. I know you like him Swift and so did I a couple of years ago but the damage is so bad I've lost faith in him. I want a clean slate starting with Poles and down, Ben Johnson as head coach to be with Caleb for the next 10 years and a GM aligned with that! If the Bears don't land Johnson I'm pretty sure it will be because Johnson won't be able to work with Poles.
I swear the coaches aren’t getting them ready for any team . Like just practicing w/out even considering anything it’s ridiculous. I have never seen such a cluster f628. BearDown
Found myself rooting for Caleb, but have no feeling for the Bears, after 35 years as a fan. This is really the worst of all the years, felt better with Trestman at the helm.
As a lions fan trust me we were there for most of my lifetime we had a winless season when I was learning to walk bears hang in there leave Ben Johnson alone but you will find your way
Give me a reason why poles shouldn’t be on the seat during the season next year this is pathetic we’re 4-12 with all this talent I truly question if there is any hope for this team seriously would appreciate a response my guy
Hey it's not the Bears fault in finding the right coach..... it's not like there is abundance of quality coaches in this league or none that been proven. That is the problem with the NFL not for long coaching staffs, Most return to college. The league needs to find good completable coaches..Rating go down if it doesn't change soon Super bowl not so super anymore if KC wins every year.
67 sacks with 1 game to go. That alone is a fireable offense for Poles. The most egregious thing he has done was to not invest in this line. Patch working it does not count. He could single handingly ruin CW career because he was so dumb to think williams succeeded in college without an oline, he could do it in thr NFL too. You have absolutely no leg to stand on if you think looking at this team, poles has done a good job. They are a disaster. Coaching AND players. Go ahead, continue to back Poles. Your channel is losing all credibility for it because no sane person can possibly think this is part of the rebuilding process in year 3.
Everybody just calmed down yes it’s been a shit show season but I am happy how things are going. We can have the best draft ever 2025 if things go how I hope it goes we can have the number two or number three pick in the draft. Do everybody remember when the GM said he will build the team around the draft that’s what he’s doing. Let’s not give up on him. We’re gonna be a better team next year. We got 80 million to spend and fix the line. if we lose against the Packers and the Patriots win they last game, we get the number 2 pick somebody please correct me if I’m wrong.🐻
Williams is turning into a drama queen let him sit the next one out; maybe he'll come around after that he can have something to think about in the off season
Swifty I love you but this one is all on the big hope - Caleb. This was one of the worst QB performances I have seen all year and I see almost all the games league wide. On par with the Raiders QB's this year. He was terrible and Brown was as inept with all the wide receiver screens and clock management. Caleb's accuracy was once again off. Does he know he has a TE? As I predicted - the game was literally over at half time as no one scored in the second half. On defense the line did a nice job. Yeah the timeouts were mishandled which was predictable given HC inexperience but no matter, draft choices baby!
You people will blame the QB no matter what, whether the QB was JF, Mitch, or Caleb. It's been the same regardless of QB because our issue isn't QB. Even if it were QB, that would still mean there's another issue, the consistent issue of selecting the wrong QBs. At this point we're not left with many to point fingers at but ownership. All will be forgiven if they get it right next season, but I have no faith in that.
Williams is the Statistically Lowest Rated QB in the Rookie Class , at what point is this concerning 🙃 It seems as though Williams is getting a full on Smoke and Mirror Propaganda push just like Justin Fields had ✅ This Fan Base is Fracturing and this gaslighting is not beneficial 🏈
He gets glazed and people scream "he's a rookie". Yes he has a lot against him and his oline is ass but he's not showing the IT factor some other rookie QBs have shown.
Tory Taylor punter, looks great. Our medical staff looks fast. Quick decisions. Hydration manager has the cups and jugs full at all times. Fairly new equipment manager as well, goodbye Carl. 4-13 next week. I think we got a shot at the #7 pick. Jets can win 1, Browns too
The bottom line is swifty we threw away seasons to draft this clown they call Williams He's bad at his job he throws into coverage he shouldn't be throwing into He's reckless with the football and everybody cheers him for it Good luck next year it's time to sell the team and trade that clown for something you can use we need a football team not one dude

Only spent $23 million on the franchise QB’s protection and $10 million of that was released. $13 million is the cheapest OL in the NFL. Poles must go with your logo. Do yourself a favor and change it.
“We are going to take the North and never give it back” 🤣🤣🤣
Fans taking that context out of quote, LITERALLY show me how much they don't understand about football.
He was talking about REBUILDING and taking the North in the future.
Never once did he mention taking it during the first year or two, fans are literally so dense
Lol thanks for the comment.
That fact you can go in on coaches but not bring that same level of scrutiny to players. Shows you're just speaking from emotions rn. Brown & Flus have the same look. It doesn't matter how much we practice, change things for players & are inspirational. The players still f it up on gameday & can't be trusted. Which puts a coach in a bad position.
one of the most clueless takes
@maxfirefantasyreport Which one? That players aren't being scrutinized as much as coaches. Or our roster isn't as good as we thought? Doesn't matter how good your coach is. They cannot coach hungry &/or God given ability.
@@maxfirefantasyreportno, your just not a smart person
While the time management was godawful, it was Jake Curhan's holding penalty which erased the go ahead TD was why the Bears lost.I believe Bears are now 7th in the drafting position. Makes for an interesting offseason.
It only shows us as 7th cause the Jets and Panthers haven't played yet. If they both lose (which is highly likely), we will still have the same pick #9.
Yes, swift we know this
End of game was bad, entire game was bad. We’re almost to the best part of the year as a Bears fan, the offseason.
I am Glad that after 60 plus years that I FINALLY Said enough is enough . The Owner Ship of this Team really needs to Sell this Team . People need to also say enough is enough and walk away from this Shit Show .
I think this an organizational failure - teams like the Rams have a game management coach to help with things like this and challenges. The bears are just too cheap to provide support staff other teams have.
Why is it every year is the same old, same old. We are a terrible team...and we absolutely SUCK
Maybe your analysis on Poles is flawed and this team just sucks? I mean how many coaches go around the carousel here and it is always the coaches fault? Even if it is the coaches fault over and over, who is in charge of bring in the HC’s that then bring in the assistants, that’s right GM Ryan Poles!!
I’m giving the new of to new coach a pass. McCaskey bye. Caleb was good, but left a lot out there. If Caleb can accept his limitations, he gets the ball off with his feet planted, before the defense gets there. Act like you know Caleb
Until The McCaskey Family sells the franchise, The Bears have no future
Seriously, I don't understand how people keep blaming 'McCaskey's' as if they are cursed which curses team, coaches and players! C'mon! We did win a SB under this 'McCaskey' curse though it's been a while but... subpar players, coaches, etc. and their executions, have a lot to do with our losing for past 12 yrs. since Lovie left.
Strip this team down. Starting with ownership!
First question during the interview process for the next Bears head coach should be “do you know what timeouts are for”?
A random passing game coordinator isn’t a secret genius head coach? Weird.
What's weird is that you'd probably take Flux over this secret genius!
Not here to say much. I just wanted to let Tremaine know that he is a linebacker and not a cornerback… if someone catches the ball over the middle you hit they ass ain’t nobody tryna see no pass deflections.
Literally not even joking, spend every single draft pick and FA signing on the OL
They need to clean house. Poles need to go!!!!! They need to blow it up!!!!! They need to bring in Johnson with a new GM. They need to give Ben Johnson control over the draft. Like I have been saying for over a month. Draft a Center in the first round, draft A left and right Guard in the second seconds round. Pick up 2 tackles in free agency. Pick as many rotational O Line we can get. Some swing tackles. Every coach needs to go. Every one of them. Damn, you now there going to blitz. You no the O Line sucks!!!! They could not come with some quick throws? My beloved Bears suck!!!!! Poles, spend some damn money!!!! Tired for hearing abut low cost players with potential up side. Get some player that can play!!!!
Caleb's no Interception streak IS NOT IMPRESSIVE.
He's too afraid to make accurate down the field Throws.
We know that 🧢 stop the national media BS
@@CEOTonez except it's not the mainstream narrative. The MSM is giving Caleb a pass on all his mistakes and blaming the OL and coaching. Caleb should not be starting at QB right now.
@@jimbody Jim what is wrong with you bruh, Caleb is going to be great he's a rookie chill out and trust the process is going to be beautiful
@@CEOTonez going to be great? Maybe. Is he great now? That's laughable. He's incapable of reading a defense or accounting for a blitz at the line right now. He has no processing skills. This isn't the development league. If he's not ready yet cuz he's a rookie OK I get it but then he shouldn't be starting. He should be watching from the bench and learning until he's ready to produce like a starting NFL QB should.
@jimbody man if you don't get yo goofy emotional a$$ off these comments, you're 🗑️ Jim go get some a$$ and chill out. I know that blue & orange don't run through your veins like me. ITS BEAUTY IN THE STRUGGLE!! 🐻⬇️ 4EVEAAA
Sorry The Whole Thing needs to be Torn Down From The GM Down to the Equipment Mgr. Poles Did a Few Good Things to Help The Team But His Bad Deeds 👎 are Not looking good 😕 this will be a Year to Remember when we had Top Expectations for this Team Bear Down is a Understatement.
As disfuncional as I have ever seen a Bears offense in my 40+ years of watching Bears football. They should be embarrassed to put that product out there.
Not only That I was at the Game and what I saw in person was So sorry I was not believing what I was Seeing, This is a Bad Team Sell the Team was the Chant and I agree
This is what happens when your previous HC leaves team that's spiritually in shambles and demoralized yet funny.... you or nobody else even mentions that Seattle scored 6 points.
Well, having Gordon flying around like his usual self really helped the D get back into better form. But Seattle's O line has been mentioned by many to be just as depleted and disorganized as Bears. The Bears just happened to be slightly worse, more mistake ridden and confused.
@@jsal8681 Okay, I respect your reply and rationale as I thought it was funny that the 6 points Bears gave up was unnoticed, yet they might make p/o's!
I'm just a fan, love to read about the Bears, and love Swifty's take on stuff. Im here like many just sharing, I just wish it was more positive instead of venting. Thing is I'm super frustrated by the all the BS and the Hype that we got coming into this season more than many in recent memory, to see it all be a house of cards. I mean yesterday it felt I saw the worse of Justin Fields but it was Caleb, did we run Getsy's playbook from the loss vs Tampa back in 2023? Terrible lack of creativity and using what looked to be same plays over and over again, minimal down the field stuff, can't run for 2 yards when you need them, or just terrible stupid mental mistakes.
Poles screwed the pooch with coaching decisions this year and that’s a fireable offense. Flush the toilet, start over. I’m disgusted with everyone but the players. They haven’t been great either but this can’t be blamed only on the players.
King poles, king poles king swift poles king poles 🌈
I’ll be a Bears fan till the day I leave this old world, but it’s getting harder and harder to Bear Down!
We could have also run the ball to get closer into Santos’ range. I have no idea why we were trying to get 10+ yard passes. We only needed a few yards!! Its the packers and the lions game all over again…BOTH COMBINED!
Trade ! Jayson Johnson. Too many business decisions
This was what I feared about making him interim coach, it has taken too much attention away from how he was improving the offense. Should have been Hightower..
Ny giants and jets also try and succeed to tank every game
Amen brother swiftly!
"I think Thomas Brown has a bright future in coaching" lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Week 17 Caleb review
Sacks- 4 Caleb’s fault and 2 on the OL/blocking
Missed/skipped/late reads- 10!
Drive1:
-2&1, nice check down to Swift
-2&5, Wright overset and allowed 10 a free run at Caleb who got a nice chip from Swift but force otp for throw away
-3rd&5, Caleb had 2 open hot reads but was late to Allen and short. Allen should have caught it
Drive2:
-3rd&6, Rome settled but should have kept running (incomplete) vs cover-2 deep middle
Drive3:
-2&7, Caleb stepped into the SACK for no reason. Had wide open check down to swift with a lead blocker in Johnson
-2&10, Kmet and Keenan both wide open and settled vs zone. Caleb passed on both and got pressured at 3.5+ second mark. Throw away
Drive4:
-2nd&3, Caleb again has over 3 seconds before trying to scramble and takes SACK instead of taking a quick check down for 10+ and calling a TO. Would have left 6-7sec for hailmary attempt or sideline throw for FG
Drive5:
-3rd&9, blitz off right (5-man), pressure gets to Caleb right at 3 sec. Had Allen underneath for about 5 and Kmet for a 1st down on a late release. Took hit/SACK instead
Drive6:
-1st&10(:24 in 3rd), exotic blitz cause miscommunication on the line for a SACK rather than throw. Not on Caleb but he could have zipped it out to swift, thrown it away, or not retreated for a 14 yard sack
-2nd&24, Caleb threw into double coverage which would have been most likely picked. Batted at the line. Had DJ who he skipped over in the progression and Rome wide open in a clean pocket
Drive7:
-2nd&9, Caleb panicked and dirted a screen. 2 lead blockers and 10+ yards before the next defensive player. Swift looked visibly annoyed with Caleb
-3rd&9, zone blitz was picked up well but Caleb panicked and stepped up into the SACK. Had Allen wide open for a 1st down
Drive8:
-4th&inches, this is a reference to Caleb’s mistakes but what a play to DJ for the 1st
-1st&10 (2:05 in 4th), Caleb drops the snap and is SACKed. Pressure arrives in under 3 sec.
-3rd&14, Caleb shows talent on conversion
-1st&10 (:38 in 4th), Caleb had Kmet wide open over the middle for 10+ but holds it for 3.5 sec before getting pressured and throws it away
-2nd&10, Caleb gets upset over calling TO but the coach saved him from a delay of game. No one was set with less than 2 seconds left. On the actual play, it was a great throw and WR choice. Rome should have turned for back shoulder not over the shoulder
-3rd&10, bad accuracy and choice throwing into triple coverage. 3 man route on max-pro but Allen had 1on1
-4th&10, DJ beat his guy for game winning TD but Caleb held it too long on a know free runner play. Hit as he threw
Caleb’s going to be a stud but he has a lot to learn and needs a good ALPHA play caller to lead him to the promised land
This game was hard to watch, that's for sure...doesn't give much hope for the season ender. FGB! Thanks Swift....BEAR DOWN!
I always wondered why Flus's assistant coaches didn't help him with his time management. I guess his assistants were helping him. I am so embarrassed being a fan. Bears are a big joke around the NFL.
He probably didn't want their help and though his way was the best way. Either that or his assistants had low football IQ also.
I know you like Poles Swifty but I lay a lot of this at his feet. At the beginning of the year Poles was happy with this offensive line and the amount of depth it had, what depth? None of this offensive line has worked out except for D. Wright and B. Jones, and I'm starting to worry about Jones working out. Forget about T. Jenkins, he's not able to stay healthy and should not be brought back to this team. Amegadjie needs a lot of work, he's not a capable back up right now or for the foreseeable future.
And what's up with the tight ends on this team? Kemet is not even being used in the passing game nor is Everett. This is unheard of, Oh but we're talking about the Bears here just wasting their talent. Thomas Brown has been so bad he should never be a head coach in this league again.
I agree with all the fans I heard yelling sell the team, but we all know that's not going to happen. I truly believe that Warren could help right the ship but to me that means firing poles also. I know you like him Swift and so did I a couple of years ago but the damage is so bad I've lost faith in him. I want a clean slate starting with Poles and down, Ben Johnson as head coach to be with Caleb for the next 10 years and a GM aligned with that! If the Bears don't land Johnson I'm pretty sure it will be because Johnson won't be able to work with Poles.
time to bench williams and let tyson prep for Green Bay
Thomas Brown threw away his chances to become HC. We are on HC Clock
I swear the coaches aren’t getting them ready for any team . Like just practicing
w/out even considering anything it’s ridiculous. I have never seen such a cluster f628. BearDown
Found myself rooting for Caleb, but have no feeling for the Bears, after 35 years as a fan. This is really the worst of all the years, felt better with Trestman at the helm.
Depression 🐻⬇️🙏🏾
Feel bad for Caleb? Feel bad for players what a hot mess
They find every possible way to lose
Caleb Williams should be the on field coach.
What difference does it make, everyone is getting fired anyway? Sit Caleb the last game and let Bagent take those 8 + sacks.
As a lions fan trust me we were there for most of my lifetime we had a winless season when I was learning to walk bears hang in there leave Ben Johnson alone but you will find your way
Give me a reason why poles shouldn’t be on the seat during the season next year this is pathetic we’re 4-12 with all this talent I truly question if there is any hope for this team seriously would appreciate a response my guy
Luigi we need you now more then ever!
For what?
Bears go to SBs every 22 years…trust the process
New Ownership
Got news for you, its not the ownership. Its the players
Still no blame for poles, he's the one who put together this team and joke of trenches, he needs to be fired.
At least the defense did better!
Hey it's not the Bears fault in finding the right coach..... it's not like there is abundance of quality coaches in this league or none that been proven. That is the problem with the NFL not for long coaching staffs, Most return to college. The league needs to find good completable coaches..Rating go down if it doesn't change soon Super bowl not so super anymore if KC wins every year.
67 sacks with 1 game to go. That alone is a fireable offense for Poles. The most egregious thing he has done was to not invest in this line. Patch working it does not count. He could single handingly ruin CW career because he was so dumb to think williams succeeded in college without an oline, he could do it in thr NFL too. You have absolutely no leg to stand on if you think looking at this team, poles has done a good job. They are a disaster. Coaching AND players. Go ahead, continue to back Poles. Your channel is losing all credibility for it because no sane person can possibly think this is part of the rebuilding process in year 3.
Is R. Johnson a Bust?
Maybe he is now. He plays absolutely scared of contact now after his last concussion.
He was a backup at Texas - why would he be good?
The Bears are totally mismanaged. Th offensive line is made up of bad players.
Everybody just calmed down yes it’s been a shit show season but I am happy how things are going. We can have the best draft ever 2025 if things go how I hope it goes we can have the number two or number three pick in the draft. Do everybody remember when the GM said he will build the team around the draft that’s what he’s doing. Let’s not give up on him. We’re gonna be a better team next year. We got 80 million to spend and fix the line. if we lose against the Packers and the Patriots win they last game, we get the number 2 pick somebody please correct me if I’m wrong.🐻
Sell the team please. Nothing will change until McCaskey’s sell da Bears. McCaskey’s are an NFL ownership case study in failure.
Williams is turning into a drama queen let him sit the next one out; maybe he'll come around after that he can have something to think about in the off season
Justin had the same coaching staff and only one offensive weapon and he did better than Caleb
Justin had 3 full seasons, and you should check the stats.
No, he didn't do better than Caleb in ANY of his 4 years in the NFL.
Stop it man.
@SwiftSportsNetwork he didn't have the offense either
This teams culture is in the ditch!
There's no recovering unless they get a proven winning guy. Not some scrub coordinator like Flus was.
Thomas Brown is a Dumpster Fire. Kiran was a healthy scratch. He's not better than Curran ? Another wasted 3rd round pick. Fire 🔥 Poles.
Kiran needs the reps as a rookie. See what he's got at OG. If he's an extreme liability in game bench him.
I’m kidding,lol I like that. BearDown
Bring back the cardinals LOL
this was another awful game what is wrong with the players and these coaches the whole nfl laughs at the bears
Swifty I love you but this one is all on the big hope - Caleb. This was one of the worst QB performances I have seen all year and I see almost all the games league wide. On par with the Raiders QB's this year. He was terrible and Brown was as inept with all the wide receiver screens and clock management. Caleb's accuracy was once again off. Does he know he has a TE? As I predicted - the game was literally over at half time as no one scored in the second half. On defense the line did a nice job. Yeah the timeouts were mishandled which was predictable given HC inexperience but no matter, draft choices baby!
You people will blame the QB no matter what, whether the QB was JF, Mitch, or Caleb.
It's been the same regardless of QB because our issue isn't QB. Even if it were QB, that would still mean there's another issue, the consistent issue of selecting the wrong QBs. At this point we're not left with many to point fingers at but ownership.
All will be forgiven if they get it right next season, but I have no faith in that.
They rushed 3 and got IMMEDIATE pressure.....when your 5 man o-line cannot block 3 guys, you don't stand a chance.
Come on man
I don't feel bad for Caleb. He's a diva. He deserves this garbage team.
😢
It was alot more than timeouts.... get real. Bears have issues everywhere and a timeout did not lose the this game. Stop with this bullshit
Williams is the Statistically Lowest Rated QB in the Rookie Class , at what point is this concerning 🙃 It seems as though Williams is getting a full on Smoke and Mirror Propaganda push just like Justin Fields had ✅ This Fan Base is Fracturing and this gaslighting is not beneficial 🏈
He gets glazed and people scream "he's a rookie". Yes he has a lot against him and his oline is ass but he's not showing the IT factor some other rookie QBs have shown.
Beyond boring. Does anyone care anymore? Sell the team is right. Unless it’s sold to Bezos.
Tory Taylor punter, looks great. Our medical staff looks fast. Quick decisions. Hydration manager has the cups and jugs full at all times. Fairly new equipment manager as well, goodbye Carl. 4-13 next week. I think we got a shot at the #7 pick. Jets can win 1, Browns too
The bottom line is swifty we threw away seasons to draft this clown they call Williams He's bad at his job he throws into coverage he shouldn't be throwing into He's reckless with the football and everybody cheers him for it Good luck next year it's time to sell the team and trade that clown for something you can use we need a football team not one dude
Maybe your analysis on Poles is flawed and this team just sucks? I mean how many coaches go around the carousel here and it is always the coaches fault? Even if it is the coaches fault over and over, who is in charge of bring in the HC’s that then bring in the assistants, that’s right GM Ryan Poles!!
