Yes, his quality is in space. Not as a three down back...

The above shows how close this league is week to week. Injuries and mistakes play a huge role in close games. We've had a chance to win the games on a last drive and failed. Back to beating a dead horse, but it started with Nate Davis. His shitty attitude rubbed of on the rest of the OL. IE: if he doesn't have to do the work, why should we? Big guys hate working in the heat. The injury to Bates couldn't have come at a worse time, because it took Flus ability to remove Davis from the equation. Trust me, they hate him. Completely destroyed the HITS principle for the entire unit. Huge player and coaching fail. Good thing is, I saw improvement on the Colts game. It wasn't good, but not always the meme we see going around.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still in Poles' corner. However, this OL thing is the equivalent of Lovie saying "trust me" after he let Chico walk. There is quite a bit of arrogance to think Poles could invest so little on the OL during a rebuild. He basically pissed on his territory and said, "this is my domain" in reference to the OL. Fail fail fail. Everything else, he's been above average.

I remember we tried the tush push with Darnell Mooney last year. I guess they haven't learned...

I think he was inactive for the game.

I'm getting there quickly. For reasons of OL only. Many unnecessary additions were made that took away from solidifying the most important unit. The difference between us and the rest of the division is that they have significantly better lines. Then, we look at Justin being 3-0. Why? They invested heavily in their OL. And they have James Daniels, who should still be on our team. We didn't need Swift, Everett or Allen. Tory Taylor is a weapon, but really. We didn't need him. Now, they are having him playing too cute and it's affected his play. Back to football Poles! Study the picture...

Oh hell no! If Fields were here, it would be a bloody nightmare. I am on record with saying we would win 9 or 10 games if we traded the Caleb pick and invest for Fields. That's where it ends. If they ever planned on sitting Caleb, we have Bagent that fully embrace that role. Fields, Caleb and the locker room would never survive it. Poles got that item right.

Same. I saw really good growth today. Our coaches need to be better. DJ, Cole, Keenan and Rome are enough weapons. No need for the other TE at all. Simplify the run game with Roschon and Khalil and our O can gel.

What were your thoughts on the play where we got the turnover and the refs ruled forward progress halted in favor of the Colts. Even Colts fans thought it was cheesy. They didn't do the replay so I wonder what all thought...

Swift is simply not a runner. He may be faster, but he has no power and vision. Most of all, he doesn't run through contact. Roschon was popping people and Herbert uses angles to lean on tacklers for extra yards. I like Swift on certain packages, but there's a reason he's not in Detroit or Philly in such a short time. Like I said in the other thread, he runs like a bitch.

Also, better things are happening when Herbert and Johnson are on the Field. Swift runs like a bitch.

Halftime report. Big plays are killing us. If you take two plays away from the Colts, the game looks a lot different. Both of those were blown by the D. Caleb missed a couple opportunities, especially the one where he threw to DJ when he could have ran for 20 on 3rd down. Waldron couldn't have shown less guts with first and goal from the four. It may not look like it but we are actually looking them on TOP, yardage and first downs. Fix the mistakes and we comeback.

Hot garbage. I'm at the game. Coaching for dummies is on full display...

I call BS. Dude got his bag and lost his GAF.

The entire NFL has seen his rhetoric. His days of stealing paychecks are over. His next contract will be minimal and incentive laden. That's if anyone gives him a chance. He is my most hated Bear ever.

We gotta get right vs the Colts. Not only are our ex Bears teeing off on the OL, Belichick is out there criticizing our roster construction. Jeff Saturday out there backing that assertion up. This negativity can creep into the soul of the team. Nate Davis must practice or be benched. I'm seeing around 75% of the bad reps from the OL are directly attributed to Nate Davis or overreact plays for not trusting him.

I'm still having daily problems. Sometimes my Wi-Fi works and sometimes it doesn't allow me in until I go to cell data...

I think what Morgan, Waldren and Flus are doing is asking the OL to be too precise. There was play when Davis pulled and didn't hit the guy coming through and because it wasn't his guy. Natural football days hit the guy, because he's going to be a problem. Then, he goes to the second level and doesn't hit a guy, because his guy wasn't there. There was also a play where the center was helping Davis, but helped too much and a guy slid through. It's time for them to stay in their area of operation and hit whatever comes in it and no more. Trust in the guy next to them is key. Little shoves are sometimes all that is needed instead of moving too far. The old rule of working inside out should cure a lot.

Am I the only one that didn't think this team was ready to compete to win the division? We are not there yet. This team is still learning how to compete to win. To exacerbate our feelings we have a weak link to talk about. We ain't that bad yet.

If this happens, we are 2-0

If I were a GM I would definitely draft the trenches until I had both fronts solidified. The only way to accomplish that would be if ownership bought into three years of growth before any expectation playoffs. Poles gambled and lost. I'm sure he thought the OL was good, since we were 4 centers away from Sam Mustipher. It's crazy to think that Sam outperformed them all to date. Trading for Keenan was a luxury, stating that we are ready. Drafting a fourth round punter doubled down on that thought. The 24 mil we are paying Allen would buy two very solid starting IOL easily. I would much rather have that than an oft injured aging WR. Bryce Young and Justin Fields are examples of players that were thrown to slaughter because of that neglect. We can only pray Caleb survive it. Once the fronts are set, BPA like crazy. It all starts up front...

Seven sacks and Caleb was hitting the Brady standard on release time. 64 and 65 need to get their collective shit together. Until then, this offense is going nowhere. Lord Poles, I love you man. But, damn! And I told you so...🤬

The down field game sucked and that was the difference...

Flus was ten feet from that last one. Terrible...
