This is THE conversation for this team. It’s the most big picture item in an otherwise pointless season.

How many pass attempts were there in the 4th quarter? Let’s be real, there was a stubbornness to run to the left, the running backs were mostly ineffective and the best outcomes were with the ball in Fields’ hands.

So they refused to pass, and the only pass attempt the after going up 12 was the bomb to Scott. That was a staff that was scared. The outcomes of the Scott pass were either a deep completion or an overthrow. I’m sure that’s even what Fields was told.

It speaks to a staff with no idea how to win. When you turtle up for an entire quarter you are inviting the Lions to come back

They were up 9. The FG doesn’t change that the Lions have to score twice. Yes it forces 2 TDs to take the lead but either way, the Bears would have needed a FG drive to come back regardless.

The boneheaded move was not going for 2 after the DJ touchdown as well.

Because sensible people see generational thrown about every other year.

There have been two “proven” players he has used to fill holes. Sweat, and DJ Moore.

Did Lucas Patrick fill a hole? Was he proven? Have his choices in the secondary really moved the needle? How would you rate the signing and money for Edmunds now that we’ve seen half a season of non-performance? What did Chase Claypool prove?

A broken clock is right twice a day. That aligns with the moves Poles had made. Otherwise you don’t get credit for creating holes and replacing them with less impactful talent.
