The Bears 2025 Free Agency Thread

[wood20ks]

There's a lot of "This is the most positive I've felt about the Bears in (insert ridiculously long period here)" banter going on this offseason from Bears fans and media.

I find that insane.

Literally last year...LAST F*CKING YEAR...everyone was talking about how Caleb Williams was in the greatest situation in NFL history for a rookie QB...

...and we had arguably one of the worst seasons of my lifetime.

I ain't expecting sh*t out of this team until it's on the field and REAL.

Im with you....but we are vastly improved.....on paper that is.

BJ has absolutley GOTTA BE better than Eberlose ever was.....
Same with the oline,just has to be better than that dysmal line from last season......
I dont know how it could get any worse.....with what Caleb put up those numbers with those two coaches and that line,it can only get better.....
Not saying top of the league type of offense,but I actually do expect better....
My biggest concern is the defense....Are we gonna be able to stop anyone....??.....for real,are we??

Meh, I was always looking at last year as exciting since we got introduced to Caleb and Rome. I thought we could make the playoffs, but we were more likely to go .500. I was holding out hope the Oline would be above average. Instead, we were never any good and we were injured. Nate Davis was a hope and see guy. At the beginning of the season we thought he could be good because he had an excuse the previous season (his mom died). That was also without realizing how bad the coaching staff would turn out.

We replaced Teven Jenkins, Coleman Shelton, and Nate Davis with Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman, and Jonah Jackson. Our three worst OLine positions became strengths.

We added depth to our DLine, which was the bears easiness last year. If they can pressure the QB, this defense becomes very good.

We replaced Matt Eberflus and Shane Waldron with Ben Johnson and Dennis Allen. Not only is it an improvement in play calling and coaching overall, it must be an improvement in game management.

We still have holes. I think we need another pass rusher and a running back, but if the ball bounces our way, I think we could make the playoffs. We might even contend. Anything less than .500 is a failure imho.
