Rogerthat Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 when the bears go 6-10 and keep fox you will hear two words over and over again. "progress" and "continuity" My money is on fox staying at best we could get a new OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 It all boils down to how we play to close out the season. Nobody can deny the defense is improving, and really Mitch has been put behind the eight-ball. If he can still manage to move this offense and score, I could see an argument to bring Fox back in year 4 along with Loggains and Fangio (if Fangio wants).

51to54 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 3 hours ago, WindyCity said: The coles notes of Adam Jahns point was that from what he understands Pace is taking the responsibility for the failures of the offense, no WR, terrible Glennon evaluation. It's good to have a GM that takes responsibility for his mistakes. It's great to have one that doesn't make the mistakes to begin with. Starting a rebuild with a one year OC. WR with 7th overall and Grasu with 2015 draft. Development or regression of Trubisky. This could turn quickly into the Pace Swan Song thread.

WindyCity Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Here are the numbers Jonathan Wood The Bears run on 72% of 1st downs, with >70% of plays being runs on 2nd and 10 or less, leaving them in 3rd and long more than 2/3 of the time.

WindyCity Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 John Fox is 0-5 when favoured as the Bears coach. I am not sure what is more amazing that he loses when he is favoured or that in 40 games they have been favoured only 5 times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'm willing to cut Fox a little slack... this roster was really, really freaking awful when he took over. We have building blocks on offense and defense... and it sounds like they are going to take the training wheels off Trubisky moving forward. I'm going to root for him and this team and we'll see where the chips fall when the season ends. Hopefully everyone can stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather Mitch ball out and show some serious progress and have us win 7 games with the arrow pointing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but those were games against teams Vegas thought were worse than those terrible Bears teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how this is positive development for a rookie QB when teams know the majority of the time what the offense is going to do on each given down. This is not a recipe for long term success.

Nads786 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I just had a random thought- if the Packers lose out and Macarthy is fired how fast do we pick him up? He would be the ideal coach for Mitch IMO. The absolute no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the Polian/Manning philosophy they talked about on The Score the other day. Polian knew if Manning got hurt their season was shot so he spent the minimum on the backup QB to try to better stack the rest of the roster.

WindyCity Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I agree with the beat guys. This is a massive game for Fox. To come out of the bye and lose at home to a devastated Packers team would put him on life support. Biggest game of the Foxy era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he shouldn’t really gain anything by winning either IMO. We should win this game without Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
