The Lions didn’t start yesterdays game well at all. It looked like the Bears defense had their number. But despite the fact that we forced 3 turnovers on them, they scored 29 offensive points.

Johnson was able to play call 4 drives that went for touchdowns, and of those 4 3 of them happening in less than 180 seconds. That’s crazy to think of.

The Bears should hire him and let him decide if he wants to keep fields or get a different QB. He knows more about football than anyone in this sub.

    There’s a snowball’s chance in hell the Bears are going to compete for Ben Johnson. Chargers, Bills, Pats, Falcons, and any other HC needy team will throw Gruden levels of cash at him, the Bears won’t. I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see Ron Rivera and some “up and coming” young OC. Have to keep the dream of 85’ going a couple of more years.

      I don’t think they’ll hire Rivera because the one predictable thing about the Bears HC hiring is they go for the opposite kind of guy as their last hire. Alternated offense/defense each time back to Lovie, and relatedly alternate supposedly innovative with old school guys, which generally means alternating young/old as well.
