So you think we're set at WR and OL after one game in a hurricane or do you think we/Fields needs to get more talent at both positions?
Every Bears fan knows the team needs more help at Wr and OL. The fact they pulled out that win during a hurricane is a positive sign. Especially against one of the best defenses in the league. So maybe the OL isn’t as terrible as people say and Fields could make those around him better.

Ryan is now more extreme in his homerism than any other announcer I've ever heard. Being a team supporter and slavish unending boosterism are different IMO.
And I’m guessing the line is drawn based on which helmet design you prefer.

This is a pathetic thread you got here.

No I think if you are a Bears fan shitting on the talent around Fields then you can't cry if non-Bears fans shit on the team too.
Apples and oranges. Pointing out that the team you support has made problematic drafting and FA decisions --and an announcer who is incapable of giving ANY credit to the opposition and harps without end on how wonderful his team is are two different things.

One might suggest that complaining about the announcers of a team you're not a fan of is the very definition of insecurity.

There's this guy I was listening to that refers to the team he covers as "the beloved". For real, be objective.
Yes...THAT is fucking annoying. I wonder if Pete is thinking...STFU you tool

Living in the SF Bay Area, I hear 49er stuff every day. Leading up to Sunday's game, the sheer arrogance of the experts was pretty disgusting. Even after the game, there was absolutely no credit given to the Bears and Justin Fields.

Tim Ryan, the 49er color guy is the most extreme homer. Ironically, a former Bear, every word that comes out of his mouth is slavish praise (and excuses for Trey Lance) for the Niners. I know they're paid to kiss ass, but enough is enough. So this win was really sweet!

Any other folks have experience with homer anouncers?
Is this on KNBR? I live in the foothills and don't listen to the AM sports radio here. You do know the SCORE is on the Audacy app so you don't have to listen to all of the excuses. All I have heard or read is the refs gave the game to the Bears. Bears were shit.

Why would I? I do not care about the radio announcers for teams that are not the Chicago Bears.

Have you ever thought why this is such a big deal for you?
Because I like NFLfootball and live in the SF Bay Area and am exposed to him if I want to listen to NFL talk when I drive my car. Lots of other anouncers for other teams seem to be much more even handed and I respect them for that.

Have you listened to Ryan?
Yeah I had an opportunity to listen to Tim Ryan this pre-season, and I'd subjectively rate him slightly more biased than Joniak. It's not a blow-out, but Ryan sounds like a meatball homer. I honestly turned on a pre-season Niners game not knowing who the announcer was, but it was so bad I was compelled to look up who the awful announcer was.

Fan stands for fanatic. It is your job to believe in the team. They just beat a supposed SB contender and you still have doubts. So again why should a non-fan believe in this team? If I am a Niner announcer I am pissed they lost to a shitball team they have no business losing too. I am pissed they didn't get 7 sacks against a shit OL. I am pissed they let dude not good enough for the Niners get wide open for a TD. I am pissed the 6th best WR on the Packers last year caught a TD.

There is literally no reason I should be happy or give credit when it is the Niners that gave the game away. For me to give credit, I would have to believe my opponent was worthy but they aren't because they had a problematic draft and signed bad FAs per you. The Niners got beat by a shit team per a large contingent of Bears fans.

I'm sorry to hear that you're forced to listen to him.

Turn the station. Listen to music. Put on a podcast. Jesus Christ, you're in control of the situation and you sit in your car and do nothing.

@nvanprooyen you may as well ban me from this thread. It's only going to get worse from me.

So do those arrogant announcers hence why they aren't giving them credit. If you think this team isn't talented then yesterday was a fluke. Hence why you want to see what happens in the next few games because like those arrogant announcers you don't really believe what you saw yesterday was real.
Ofcourse. Let's pretend the situations were the opposite. The Bears were coming off a great season and just lost on the road in a rain storm to a bad team from the season before. How would most of us react? That the game was a fluke.

The Bears beat Green Bay in Lambeau and the entire narrative likely flips though. But for now, this was all weather related is the narrative.

Hey, it's fine. It's only football and I'm OK.
