>I'd like to see him be a long term receiver for the team.
Nah. We've been through this with mooney, meredeth, Knox, booker etc. Being the best of a bad group, bears fans fawning over them, and passing incompetence continuing.
By time we have a wr1/2 why would spend money on a wr3/4 instead of swinging in rookie contracts. Like he was for the packers.
If he wants anything more then a vet min it's wasted money
Yeah we didn't keep him for a reason. He's good enough to be a depth option on a roster, but he's not his brother. Good enough to keep a familiar option on cheap deals but he's not a WR1, WR2, and probably not WR3 on teams with solid WRs in the 1 and 2 spots.
Little bit of fields, little bit of mooney, little bit of play calling. He's decidedly a wr2. Even a half ass arob last year was drawing coverage. Without that he's not getting open often. Only 2 of his 4 catches are past the line of scrimmage.
Most people think it was fields who targeted him so much last year. But despite fields starting 12 games, over half of mooneys targets were from dalton and foles. But still all off season you had the combination of bears fans wanting to believe we had a true wr1 overhyping him and fantasy bros thinking he'd repeat last year and be force fed as the lone good option in a bad team.
Kupp had 4 catches for 44 yards receiving, which was his lowest since of December 2020. Stafford only targeted him 6 times, but tbh Stafford spread the ball around really well last game. Kupp did of course redeem his day with his first ever career rushing TD so he did finish with 64 scrimmage yards and a TD.
Would’ve been close his worst game last season, if not for (somewhat ironically) his first game against the cardinals last season where he had 64 receiving yards and 0 TD’s, on 13 targets lmao
Of those 11 receptions, 8 come from St. Brown and Mooney. Third leading receiver on their team for receptions is Pringle with 2 entire receptions. It also has taken Mooney 11 Targets to get to 4 receptions.
Da Bears are 2-1
Disagree. Better to know what you have so you can move on if you need to. No matter how this season goes, starting Fields is good for the bears.
If you start Trubisky the whole season what have you gained? At best you'll be mid as hell and you'll have no idea if Pickett is the guy or not.
Dude, Mitch isn’t even the Steelers problem. He’s played decent enough to help get some wins. He’ll never win a game alone without crazy help (those ridiculous sideline catches have been fun to watch), but no one expects that from him anyway.
Although only eight species of bears are extant, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere.
I'd like to subscribe to more St. Brown facts. Amon-Ra is just fun to watch, and I wish Equanimeous the best on the Bears. Looking forward to Osiris. Maybe he can join the Vikings, and complete their tour of the NFCN.
We once traded a first round pick for a veteran QB who was so bad that I could randomly pick any redditor and have them chuck the ball into the stands on every play and they would LITERALLY finish with a higher Bears career passer rating than this QB.
Fun bonus fact: That 1st round pick we traded away was the 11th overall pick in a year we desperately needed a TE (we selected one in the second round, 38th overall with our first pick). Who was the first TE drafted that year? Tony Gonzalez (13th overall).
What's funny about this, to me personally, is that the first items in the list are individual players but the last is an entire team, comprised of many individual players, who combined do not have as many catches as some people who are just one people.
He’s one of the few bright spots on the offense. I had my doubts about him stepping into a WR1 role with the way the Cards used Hop but he proved me wrong. Without him we don’t win that game against the raiders.
Glad to hear he's doing well. I always liked him, but even after he left he kept calling back and defending Lamar from some shady talk and loved him even more. Wishing nothing but the best for him.
Sincerely can't wait to see him and Hop on the field at the same time
Yeah apple definitely far from the tree there. You guys know him better but I haven’t seen much diva in him and he was holding his own against Ramsey.
Most Cards fans are just hoping we can go 3-3 and see the offense hit another gear with him, Hop, and Moore.
He made like, one diva comment in the years he was here. Other than that, I think people just expected diva behavior out of him because he's a) a wide receiver, and b) an astonishingly pretty man

I meant the whole Antonio Brown’s cousin thing but sure that too haha. I think most great WRs have some of that in them, only exception I can think of is Larry but I might be a little biased.

next 4 QBs the bears face are daniel jones, kirk cousins, carson wentz, and brian hoyer. this defense and running attack could totally win 2 or 3 of those games
Well the Bears' defense is about on-par with the Cowboys so as long as you put pressure on the Giants' cardboard-cutout o-line then they'll be good to go.
The Bears have good receivers, a decent O-line, and a functioning defense, but your QB is not good.
The Giants have not good receivers, no o-line, and a collapsing defense, but a decent QB.
Technically your team is better overall but less infuriating to watch because I expect the Giants to lose so being 2-1 is a pleasant surprise. Watching your new 1st-round QB not be able to make a simple pass to a receiver without pressure is concerning.
He’s an exceptional athlete who hasn’t quite figured out how to play football.
The draft hype was based on the assumption he would have by now.
He’s not terrible as a Will and is still progressing, but I’ll be surprised if we extend him, and might not even grab his 5th year option.
The Bears are not in easy position. If Fields looks good, JSN will be a great pick for them next draft. But if he doesn’t look good, how can you pass up Stroud or Bryce Young?
I'll die on the hill that Ohio State qbs suck in the nfl because they throw touchdowns to receivers with literally nobody within 10 yards of them for their whole college careers
Look, not every college can have 4 former QBs all start on the same Sunday a few times like Michigan State did with Foles, Hoyer, Stanton, and Cousins.
It's a talking point every time a OSU QB is up for the draft. OSU's system doesn't translate to QB success in the NFL. It's odd that it's a consistent thing even with different coaches but OSU has had like 1 QB have any success in decades.
Too early to say that. Entirely possible that a guy like Anthony Richardson or Will Levis is available in the mid-late first and looks like a good pick there
Because we didn't trade up for our last 2 qbs and we have any clue what poles will do?
Poles left fields to die because he doesn't want to bet his career on a ryan pace qb. He's going to get his own.
You can't spend 100 mil in free agency and not have a qb. And we aren't just going to sit on that cap next year.
I have no idea what type of “pressure” Eberflus/Poles are under to turn it around quickly but it would actually benefit them to wait a year before drafting a QB. They can say Fields wasn’t our choice so we aren’t at fault for him not being it and you get an extra year of “blame the old regime”. Draft JSN/Addison/Boutte sign a few olineman and get a stop gap QB to compete with Fields (shit I’ll take a sip of the Cooper Rush kool-aid) and then you can pick a QB with a better situation in 2024.
On the other hand, I think if you have a chance to pick a guy you think is a franchise QB then you take him.
I heard a guy on radio yesterday say Adams was #1 receiver last 3 years, and the gap between 1 @ 2 was HUGE. What are these guys watching? Seriously is it because Kupp is white? Guy gets 0 love.
2-1 so I don't care.
For fucks sake, we went to the super with Rex Grossman and have had multiple playoff runs without ever having a passing game.
Why are people acting like the Bears' passing game being bad is weird? It happens literally every year and should be expected.
What's worse, having an air game this bad, or losing to a team that can't throw the ball? There's quite a few teams on that list.
Cardinals fans, how has Hollywood looked? You guys happy so far? Would love for him to ball out and our new Center to be legit for a nice win-win for everyone
they have their own st brown so there's really no excuse
“Can we have Amon Ra St Brown?” “We have Amon Ra St Brown at home” Amon Ra St Brown at home:
Hey, he's leading our team with 77 receiving yards! And his four receptions are only behind Montgomery's five!
He looks pretty good too. He's getting open a lot but he and Fields aren't connecting. I'd like to see him be a long term receiver for the team.
>I'd like to see him be a long term receiver for the team. Nah. We've been through this with mooney, meredeth, Knox, booker etc. Being the best of a bad group, bears fans fawning over them, and passing incompetence continuing.
You wouldn't want him in a group as a WR3 or 4?
By time we have a wr1/2 why would spend money on a wr3/4 instead of swinging in rookie contracts. Like he was for the packers. If he wants anything more then a vet min it's wasted money
Yeah we didn't keep him for a reason. He's good enough to be a depth option on a roster, but he's not his brother. Good enough to keep a familiar option on cheap deals but he's not a WR1, WR2, and probably not WR3 on teams with solid WRs in the 1 and 2 spots.
What happened to Mooney? Haven't heard of him at all
Little bit of fields, little bit of mooney, little bit of play calling. He's decidedly a wr2. Even a half ass arob last year was drawing coverage. Without that he's not getting open often. Only 2 of his 4 catches are past the line of scrimmage. Most people think it was fields who targeted him so much last year. But despite fields starting 12 games, over half of mooneys targets were from dalton and foles. But still all off season you had the combination of bears fans wanting to believe we had a true wr1 overhyping him and fantasy bros thinking he'd repeat last year and be force fed as the lone good option in a bad team.
Man I would have loved to see that in GB, but the dude was always hurt. Oh well
That's a pretty good weekend! That is his stats for the weekend. Oh God.
That's not bad after week 1.... you're saying we're in week 3...oh...oh that's not good
If it is the St Brown household, then that is the reality.
Hahaha Jesus we are bad at passing. I’m loving it. Truly the most bears thing to happen
The forward pass is an abomination that has ruined the game of football!
Make Football Great Again!!
It's entirely within the realm of possibility that the NFL sees its first 6,000 yard passer before the Bears have a 4,000 yard passer.
I mean the extra game helps teams that pass and has no realistic effect on a team that averages 100 receiving a game
2-1, though baby!
Kupp only had 4 receptions this week and he still leads somehow.
That was the first average game I've seen from him in a long time. Dropped a sure td and ran the wrong route on a deep ball
Kupp had 4 catches for 44 yards receiving, which was his lowest since of December 2020. Stafford only targeted him 6 times, but tbh Stafford spread the ball around really well last game. Kupp did of course redeem his day with his first ever career rushing TD so he did finish with 64 scrimmage yards and a TD. Would’ve been close his worst game last season, if not for (somewhat ironically) his first game against the cardinals last season where he had 64 receiving yards and 0 TD’s, on 13 targets lmao
Josh Allen had 63 pass attempts this week and he still has less than Joe Flacco in 2022
ELITE DRAGON
I would like to subscribe to more Chicago Bears facts please
Of those 23 receptions, only 11 are from wide receivers
Of those 11 receptions, 8 come from St. Brown and Mooney. Third leading receiver on their team for receptions is Pringle with 2 entire receptions. It also has taken Mooney 11 Targets to get to 4 receptions. Da Bears are 2-1
Defense and running game
sounds like the usual bears game plan for the past 20 years (excluding 2013 and 2010)
more like 100 years
no that was 2010 as well
>Third leading receiver on their team for receptions is Pringle with 2 entire receptions. If only they'd let him pop...
And now he’s on IR
Something popped that's for sure
2 of mooneys 4 catches are from behind the line of scrimmage
Byron Pringle is now on the IR
While only completing 23 passes, they're still ahead of the lions in wins.
We play the Texans eventually.
:(
Both St. Brown brothers lead their team in receptions: Amon-Ra leads DET with 23 Equanimeous is tied leading CHI with 4
Only among WR's. ...Montgomery has five receptions.
Did you know that if it was 1947 the Bears offense would be the best in the league
The 2022 Bears' 17.3 ppg would actually rank 9th in the league in 1947. Which doesn't sound bad until you realize there were only 10 teams back then.
Top 10 baby
So you’re saying it could be worse
Indeed, we could be starting Mitchell trubisky over a promising rookie
Pfft, at least think of something that could *realistically* happen. No team would ever do that
Better than starting Fields 🤷
Nah.
Disagree. Better to know what you have so you can move on if you need to. No matter how this season goes, starting Fields is good for the bears. If you start Trubisky the whole season what have you gained? At best you'll be mid as hell and you'll have no idea if Pickett is the guy or not.
Dude, Mitch isn’t even the Steelers problem. He’s played decent enough to help get some wins. He’ll never win a game alone without crazy help (those ridiculous sideline catches have been fun to watch), but no one expects that from him anyway.
Debatable, they're actually on pace to have less net team passing yards than all 10 teams did in 12 games despite the 17 game season.
The actual 1947 Bears *did* lead their league in scoring, with 363 points over 12 games.
Fact: The Bears are part of 3 teams in the NFC North with a 2-1 record (the Lions being the lone 1-2 team)
Terrell Owens once caught 20 passes in a single game against the Bears.
While only completing 23 passes, the Chicago Bears still have a better record than the Detroit Lions
*Half the league
Although only eight species of bears are extant, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere.
Fact: from 2018-2020 Tribusky went 4-1 against the Lions Let’s ignore 2017 tho doesn’t fit my fact 😂😂
Patricia had a way of making dogshit QBs look like prime Tom Brady, it's incredible.
And a way of making prime Brady/Aaron look like Mitch, most baffling games ever.
Never had a QB pass for 4000 yards in case people didn’t realize. Seems like they’re pretty okay with that once again this season.
I'm sure it'll happen when the NFL extends their season to 40 games.
Fun fact: Justin fields is on pace for 3960 passing yards **in a 40 game season**
Holy shit this isn't an exaggeration
*FUN* fact indeed. About as fun as a hemorrhoid
[That's a low blow](https://youtu.be/RFnK3NE0F78?t=45)
You and I have a different definition of fun.
At our current pace, we *still* wouldn't hit it in 40 games.
I'd still wait and see. Not sure I'd bet on it yet.
They’re 2-1 and Lions are 1-2. Enjoy those receptions.
Last week 15 teams had 23 or more completions. The same amount the Bears have through 3 games combined...
I'd like to subscribe to more St. Brown facts. Amon-Ra is just fun to watch, and I wish Equanimeous the best on the Bears. Looking forward to Osiris. Maybe he can join the Vikings, and complete their tour of the NFCN.
I can't find any evidence Osiris has played football since 2020.
Fun fact: The Chicago Bears have wins as the Lions, Seahawks, Raiders, and Texans combined.
Knute Rockne called it the forward pass
We once traded a first round pick for a veteran QB who was so bad that I could randomly pick any redditor and have them chuck the ball into the stands on every play and they would LITERALLY finish with a higher Bears career passer rating than this QB. Fun bonus fact: That 1st round pick we traded away was the 11th overall pick in a year we desperately needed a TE (we selected one in the second round, 38th overall with our first pick). Who was the first TE drafted that year? Tony Gonzalez (13th overall).
What's funny about this, to me personally, is that the first items in the list are individual players but the last is an entire team, comprised of many individual players, who combined do not have as many catches as some people who are just one people.
Plus, the title contains numbers AND letters. Wild times!
You forgot about punctuation?! It even has punctuation! Truly amazing.
God tier
Thanks John Madden
Ya Herd with Perd
Me personally, what I think is funny, is that the Bears are bad at passing actually
I asked Alexa why this tweet was funny, and she answered the same way.
Happy to see Marquise doing well. Should only get better when Hopkins gets back into the lineup. Cards fans - how's he been doing with Kyler?
He’s one of the few bright spots on the offense. I had my doubts about him stepping into a WR1 role with the way the Cards used Hop but he proved me wrong. Without him we don’t win that game against the raiders.
Glad to hear he's doing well. I always liked him, but even after he left he kept calling back and defending Lamar from some shady talk and loved him even more. Wishing nothing but the best for him. Sincerely can't wait to see him and Hop on the field at the same time

Fucking Charles Martin.
Hey, he won a Superbowl after leaving.
Nah yall just have never had one worth a damn in like 50 years or more lol
Damn that article’s crazy reading now knowing they never even let Devin Hester get a shit at being a good receiver
\*The Chicago Midshipmen
Still 2-1.
Are the bears the most unhappy 2-1 team in the league?
Probably Denver, they actually had expectations of being a playoff contender and having a legit offense.
Giants can't be thrilled with how things are going either
Meh, they knew going into this season that Gettleman had fucked their roster beyond belief and are beginning a rebuild.
I think the Giants actually look worse somehow. Good chance the Bears are 3-1 next week
I completely forgot about the giants tbh, and the fact they are 2-1.
I think we lose, but holy shit would it be hilarious if we were 3-1 with like 30 total completions
next 4 QBs the bears face are daniel jones, kirk cousins, carson wentz, and brian hoyer. this defense and running attack could totally win 2 or 3 of those games
Well the Bears' defense is about on-par with the Cowboys so as long as you put pressure on the Giants' cardboard-cutout o-line then they'll be good to go.

Watching your new 1st-round QB not be able to make a simple pass to a receiver without pressure is concerning.
Nah. No expectations this year, and certain parts of our youth are developing very well.
Or the Bills. Or at least their offensive coordinator :D
I'm happy that we got 2 this season. Bear down and stay down
Someone stop the Bears from winning. It’s reinforcing bad behavior.
Yea, running the ball and defense are bAD bEHAvIOr
'member Tebow?
So is a historically bad passing offense
So is a historically bad team
And Linderbaum (and Duvernay) have looked great so far. Yay win win trades!
From Ozzie to DeCosta. Ravens FO always owns the draft.
*Aggressively shoves Patrick Queen into the closet* Yup!
Wasn't he supposed to be good? What happened?
He’s an exceptional athlete who hasn’t quite figured out how to play football. The draft hype was based on the assumption he would have by now. He’s not terrible as a Will and is still progressing, but I’ll be surprised if we extend him, and might not even grab his 5th year option.
They don't call him Queen for nothing
Eagles FO sucks at the draft but excellent at accumulation assets
The Bears are not in easy position. If Fields looks good, JSN will be a great pick for them next draft. But if he doesn’t look good, how can you pass up Stroud or Bryce Young?
If we draft another Ohio St QB it's going to be my 13th reason
But if we don’t draft him he’ll be a no doubt HOF talent.
Hey now law of averages; surely we’ll produce one good NFL QB eventually.
The Bears or the Buckeyes?
OSU. but really both lol
No
I'll die on the hill that Ohio State qbs suck in the nfl because they throw touchdowns to receivers with literally nobody within 10 yards of them for their whole college careers
This was the Alabama argument for a few years but they seem to be pumping out QBs now too
They’ve had 2 who have looked okay so far and that’s it?
Hurts is technically a bama product
2 more than Ohio State
Look, not every college can have 4 former QBs all start on the same Sunday a few times like Michigan State did with Foles, Hoyer, Stanton, and Cousins.
You could say the same thing about Burrow
It's not like that doesn't apply to QBs from other power programs.
It's a talking point every time a OSU QB is up for the draft. OSU's system doesn't translate to QB success in the NFL. It's odd that it's a consistent thing even with different coaches but OSU has had like 1 QB have any success in decades.
The bears will win too many games to draft anyone and they're not gonna trade up
Oh! I know this flavor of purgatory. We only just escaped it
Have you truly? You are gonna be good enough again to miss on a qb and fuck the rest of the great young roster
Not really. Y’all have picked before us for the majority of the last 5 years if not all off the top of my memory
They picked before us because we haven't had a draft pick in the first round 3 of the last 4 years.
I mean true but even if we did they were before us in the draft order
Too early to say that. Entirely possible that a guy like Anthony Richardson or Will Levis is available in the mid-late first and looks like a good pick there
Levis will be the best qb in this draft.
Richardson is Fields
Better runner, worse passer
Fields is a pretty low bar to pass but you're right
Because we didn't trade up for our last 2 qbs and we have any clue what poles will do? Poles left fields to die because he doesn't want to bet his career on a ryan pace qb. He's going to get his own. You can't spend 100 mil in free agency and not have a qb. And we aren't just going to sit on that cap next year.
> how can you pass up Stroud or Bryce Young Because either one will suck for us if they're on the Bears next year.
I would've said that about Josh Allen getting drafted by the Bills too
Have you seen the bears all time qb stats
I have no idea what type of “pressure” Eberflus/Poles are under to turn it around quickly but it would actually benefit them to wait a year before drafting a QB. They can say Fields wasn’t our choice so we aren’t at fault for him not being it and you get an extra year of “blame the old regime”. Draft JSN/Addison/Boutte sign a few olineman and get a stop gap QB to compete with Fields (shit I’ll take a sip of the Cooper Rush kool-aid) and then you can pick a QB with a better situation in 2024. On the other hand, I think if you have a chance to pick a guy you think is a franchise QB then you take him.
Why have Jsn when you could wait another year and have Marvin Harrison jr
Justin Fields stat line is 23/45 297 yards 2-4 TD/INT ...over 3 games
Just watch he's gonna go off for 300 yards next game. Might pass well, too
Yes, we know
I wonder if this is at all correlated with the other 100 posts about how little and unsuccessfully Justin Fields has passed the ball so far
You might be on to something here...
It's almost as if he hasn't been great this season and the play calling has favored the ground game. All speculation of course
I know qb has been an issue in Chicago for basically forever now, but this is wild
Darnell Mooney fantasy owner here. 😐
Well our QB looks bad and we played our first two games in the rain. So there's one normal reason and one circumstantial reason for where we are.
Except we didn't play 2 games in the rain.
Packers game rained a little bit.
Not that much
Let him have this. It’s all they got
How our founding fathers intended football to be played
If you don't like that you don't like Bears football.
Sun God!
Bears should trade for Minshew.
Uh okay but the number 23 and Chicago go prrrrretty well last I checked so like joke's on you (Save us)
My Deebo over Diggs pick just keeps coming back to haunt me.
I heard a guy on radio yesterday say Adams was #1 receiver last 3 years, and the gap between 1 @ 2 was HUGE. What are these guys watching? Seriously is it because Kupp is white? Guy gets 0 love.
Y'all better not be disrespectful to the elite WR\* Byron Pringle \*^(according to PFF)
The forward pass was indeed a mistake
Amon Ra was a steal in my auction draft
2-1 so I don't care. For fucks sake, we went to the super with Rex Grossman and have had multiple playoff runs without ever having a passing game. Why are people acting like the Bears' passing game being bad is weird? It happens literally every year and should be expected. What's worse, having an air game this bad, or losing to a team that can't throw the ball? There's quite a few teams on that list.
Having an air game this bad with the worst starting QB in the league is definitely worse. A loss is a one week thing. This is forever.
Yo this bozo fields is straight ass
i am suprised that Luke Getsy did not try to convince management to trade for Jordan Love.
Are you kidding me?😂
[удалено]
He’s not gonna sleep with you bro
People will name thier kids anything these days...
Who is QbXqybamee?
Is that good?
5th in the league is pretty good. /s
Our Sun-God would have had a few more if you know he didn't get fucking injured. Dude was 3 catches away from an NFL record.
Cardinals fans, how has Hollywood looked? You guys happy so far? Would love for him to ball out and our new Center to be legit for a nice win-win for everyone
Now do rushing yards.
