Where do we start the blame game after a Week 1 clunker against the rival Green Bay Packers? Brad Biggs answers your Chicago Bears questions weekly.
A Chicago Bears fan reacts in the third quarter, Sept. 10, 2023, at Soldier Field. The Packers defeated the Bears 38-20.
One thing I appreciate about Poles is he gives a pretty measured and candid take on the team. He doesn’t blow smoke or talk about seashells and balloons. I’m betting he understands better than anyone what work needs to be done with the roster. Packers tight end Luke Musgrave catches a pass in the fourth quarter against the Bears on Sunday, Sept. 10, 2023, at Soldier Field.
There are no credible signs that Justin Fields is improving from last year. Reports from training camp, his limited preseason and Game 1 against the Packers continue to display all of his fatal weaknesses — locking in on receivers, holding the ball too long, inability to throw the ball downfield and taking too many sacks. At what point do coaches see what they have in Tyson Bagent? While it is only one bad game for Fields this year, it is actually bad start No. 18.
“That has to improve,” Eberflus said. “We all saw that, right? So we’ve got to block the perimeter better. We’ve got to sustain our blocks. We’ve got to take better angles. That’s part of what we need to improve, for sure.”That’s a fair question after a disappointing day getting after Packers quarterback Jordan Love. The Bears did spend some money on the position, signing DeMarcus Walker to a three-year, $21 million contract and adding Yannick Ngakoue on a one-year, $10.
Could it lead to reduced playing time against the Bucs? Sure. The Bears could use Tyler Scott more. Claypool had 58 snaps against the Packers compared with 13 for Scott. Could they go with less 11 personnel and cut into his playing time that way? Yes. We’ll see. Hopefully, a pointed conversation with Claypool leads to a more productive game.
