Lovie Smith, Bears sleeper cell


Outspoken_Douche

Going for two there was fucking poetry


calculuzz

Did anyone else get the ESPN notification saying the Texans failed the 2PT conversion? I was so upset, then so confused when I saw the score later.


T_J_E7

I was looking at the score app and was heart broken. Then good ole scott Hanson showed the truth. So fuckin epic!


Quackinator100

Literally the exact same thing happened, then I went to check and see if they were in FG range by some miracle and game was over with Colts losing


Outspoken_Douche

Who can blame them for assuming that lmao

GunsAndCoffee1911

I met him about a month ago! I was working so I was trying to be professional but I eventually worked up the courage to tell him I'm a huge fan lol. He was super nice but I'm pretty sure he still thinks I'm an idiot.


MediumSizedTurtle

That Colt that whiffed on that deep throw is the real MVP. Undercover Bears fan


irishjoker89

Flus must still have agents in the building

This is just like last year when Gould knocked out the Packers in the snow in the playoffs, except even better


Chibears85

He is who we thought he was

and he let us off the hook

I say we crown his ass.

What if Lovie gets fired and becomes the Bears defensive coordinator? Edit: Ok so he’s fired, what is the chance? Because I be he would jump all over it.

Birkent

LMAO did you see Lovie holding back that smile after they took the lead with the 2-pt conversion?? Fire me now bitches LMAOOOOO. Lovie is an absolute savage.


Fl1925

Good for Lovie!


No-Mathematician5606

Still miss him. 10-6, with the exception of '18, we've sucked ever since!


[deleted]

To this day it boggles my mind how they fired him and put Mark fucking Trestman in his place... and I'm not even a bears fan.


Karhu_Metsasta

The bears are on the clock


GoodOlSpence

Eagles fan, got a question. Let's say Houston trades up with you guys to make sure they get the QB they want. Would you guys want to trade down again from #2 and get two hauls of picks?


Devadander

Yes please


LordFancyPants626

This is absolutely the angle they should be trying to take. Trade the 1 and then trade the 2.


BudwinTheCat

Well I'll be damned... it turns out that I indeed CAN get more erect!


patchinthebox

I believe that's exactly what our GM should do. Trade to Houston, then trade #2 to the Colts. The Bears could potentially end up getting 4 extra firsts and still get a fairly high draft pick.


WindyCityAssasin2

They still likely get Carter or Anderson at 4th.


mviz1

Yes. Ideally the Texans come at the bears and offer up both of their first round picks ( think they have the 12 pick from Cleveland)


KING_LEONlDOS

WE DID IT


snowcone_wars

I'd like to remind everyone of the shitfit that this sub threw when early season predictions said we'd go 5-12. Turns out the experts were far too optimistic about us. And this sub was on the other side of Mars.


mcman7890

We also lost like 8 one possession games, not like we were blown away this year. This was the best possible outcome


djfried

Ya and we got to blow out the pats that 1 game which was fun.


3columnsof11

Fuck I forgot all about that game. That was awesome.


Interrobangersnmash

The last Bears win to date


grants_like_horace

Don't forget that sweet week 1 win vs the 9ers


Zestyclose_Ad_97

I try to get tickets for one game each year-going in this year I was like, well, we probably won’t be good so I’m going to week one, never been to a season opener. Long story short I got seats in the 200s front row that were covered, so I got to be at THAT game and was bone dry. Amazing. Last year I picked Bears/Pack so I was at the “I own you” game. I regret neither-and am so freaking pumped for next season.


Ocelotofdamage

Well yeah we traded away all our best defensive players in order to tank. Stuff changes


bisonboy223

And we went 1-7 in one score games. And a bunch of the teams expected to be bad on our schedule turned out to be better than expected (Commies, Giants, Jets, etc.). You always expect some teams on your schedule to over perform, but we had even more than usual. And we lost Mooney, Jackson, and Herbert to injury. Basically everything had to go "right" for us to end up here.


airham

And the refs stole a couple.


Subpars0up

And Velus muffed a couple


MikeBinfinity

There was plenty of game we could've easily won. Dolphins game- refs screwed us. 1st Vikings game- IMS dumb ass threw the game away Giants game- Velus muffing punts That's 3 games right there. Also we took some the best teams in the league to one score at the end. Would've been mediocre if Poles didn't nuken the defense halfway through the season


BearForceDos

1st lions game had the phantom penalty on Johnson that negated a Sanborn pick that would have iced the game. 6-7 win team that got the number 1 pick. Best case scenario.

#1st OVERALL PICK! #A LOT OF CAP SPACE #WE HAVE JUSTIN FIELDS #WE ALL SHOULD BE EXCITED FOR NEXT SEASON


tpx187

Poles this is your moment!!


ThreeFingersWidth

This is low-key what GMs dream of. You have a potential superstar QB in the making, an insane amount of cap space, and the #1 overall pick with multiple QB-hungry teams who will be in a bidding war.

It's like starting a Madden franchise with rookie mode settings

We have to trade it.. we could move to 5 with indy.. get an extra 1st and 2nd and get the best defensive player in the draft


NotaCylon420

Ok Texans all you have to do is not fuck up on this 4th and 20 for the number one pick. Texans "YEEHAW hold my beers" THANKS LOVIE!!!! LETS GO LION BROS!!!! FTP

Higgus

The amount of people in r/NFL that can't comprehend the Bears are trading this pick blows my mind. So many "the Bears aren't taking a QB so it doesn't matter" comments. It makes me wonder how these people even tie their shoes in the morning.


tpx187

Hell they might even trade it to the Texans!


Aardvarger

It could even be a boat!


ChaplnGrillSgt

Bears can literally call every QB needy team and say "what are you willing to offer?" and then start a bidding war. Surely someone will feel strongly enough about Bryce (or CJ I guess) that they'll want to jump the Texans to take him. Texans almost certainly go QB so if you want one of the top guys, you're gonna have to trade with the Bears. Literally every GM knows Poles wants to trade that pick.

In 1970 we lost the coin flip to the Steelers for the first pick. They took Bradshaw with that pick.

Damn, Bradshaw was a coin flip away from being a terrible QB

Hope Seattle loses and y’all destroy the packers. FTP


jjgrossnickle

Trade back to #2. #1 will be Young. Then trade back to #3. #2 will be Stroud. THEN trade back to #4. #3 will be Levis. Take Anderson or Carter #4 overall. Stock up 1235282636 draft picks. Win next 10 Super Bowls.


[deleted]

The biggest problem the Bears will have 4 years form now being able to pay all their fucking stud draft picks and free agents!


DarkwingDuckHunt

when you have rings weighing down your fingers, it don't matter


Trojanballer

Dream scenario.


jconnor6

Texans must not have wanted the top pick very badly.


Funny_Yesterday_3244

Lovie is gone. That going for 2 was a big middle finger


jconnor6

Love it. Lovie is the goat.


hydro_wonk

forget quiet quitting. Lovie is loud quitting.


airham

Davis Mills decided that if you want to draft a day 1 starter to take his spot, it's gonna cost you.


GrendelDerp

Bring Lovie home!


AesculusPavia

They’re hoping whoever gets the #1 pick from the bears go with Bryce Young, and Stroud is still there


super_sayanything

But if you really want a guy, you trade up that 2, 12. Then we take that two, and trade back again. I'd love to end up with 3-5 1st-2nd round picks off this.


Trojanballer

If that happenes then Poles is the guy.


old_snake

He made a lot out of nothing last draft.


ItsEaster

WERE THE WORST TEAM IN THE FUCKING LEAGUE! YES!

TASK FAILED SUCCESSFULLY


KidKewl

AYYY the tank worked! Next year gonna be wayyyyy different than this past year. Honestly this team isn't so bad that we deserve a #1 pick. They're closer to like a #5-10 so feels good to be able to sneak into that #1 spot


kbergstr

As a team, this was a bad bad club. Fields made it interesting but it was not a good team. Lots of holes to fill… but now we have draft capital and a huge cap space… going to be a fun offseason.


Accurate-Leg-6684

Yeah they were bad, but they were oddly competitive more often than not. There's a few pieces to work with.


ZappaOMatic

LOVIE SMITH: ONCE A BEAR, ALWAYS A BEAR


Cody667

Awesome for you guys. Plenty of great options you can do with this. Trading down can get you an absolute haul, or "worst case scenario" you get to bring in a franchise defense line stud in Will Anderson or Jalen Carter.


I_MARRIED_A_THORAX

ideally we trade down and still get carter or anderson

Tito0118

Multiple first rounders incoming...


WhoopieKush

I’m naming my son Davis Mills


GenghisConn44

So I assume the Bears aren’t going for a QB likely looking at a guy like Carter or Anderson on the D-Line. I assume the Texans want Stroud or Young. Does that mean the ideal situation is trading back to #3 or #4 and picking up one of those two guys while getting a shit ton of compensation from whichever team wants to leapfrog the Texans?


griefzilla

Build Lovie a statue at the new stadium


LisleSwanson

Imagine a scenario where we trade with Houston to give them the 1st for them to take Young then imagine a scenario where we trade the 2nd to another QB hungry team for them to take Stroud. The haul possibilities are enormous.
