BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I think the manner of the losses, and many of the game time decisions are the most concerning things about the current staff. This is partly subjective, but they "looked" better coached and prepared in the tank season than they did this year, which is supported by more penalties year over year. They also had an extremely easy schedule this year both by the preseason projections and the eventual regular season strength of schedule. Despite that they always seem to face teams that have easy answers for them, even the crappy ones. They also have the dubious honor of having a really high number of statistically unlikely late collapses which does the coaching no credit. The teams they had good defensive or offensive outputs against were also mostly the terrible ones. It's really concerning when we can barely edge the Panthers, who then hang 30 on the same Packers we can only kick on. I think the thing that may convince Bears ownership and management to stay the course is the "culture" but it's hard to be impressed by the team feeling good about themselves after a loss. If it's a choice, give me the hardass that is pushing for more after a win than the happy losers. I think that stuff may matter less than the Bears keeping their assistant coaches exits mysterious versus the Giants having them exit noisily. There's an off color joke about a hunter going Bear hunting, and repeatedly missing his shot on the Bear, only to have the Bear capture him and give him the option of a mauling or some backwoods sodomy. The hunter repeats his mistake until the Bear questions him "you're not in this for the hunting anymore, are ya?" I'm starting to believe the Bears are just destined to turn into the same team of boring quiet losers with a defense, a run game, and a commitment to terrible passing game and are just inventing new methods to get there.

It’s asinine. i didnt say it wasn't asinine, i'm just saying that college football is a completely different beast thats driven by boosters and alumni donors. just look at jimbo fisher and how much boosters were willing to pay to get rid of him. mind you, A&M has only won 10 games like, 2 times in the last 25 gamess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George is probably psyched about the idea of BRINGING HOME A FORMER BELOVED PLAYER and forcing Eberflus to hire him as DC because he's such an idiot and thinks fans will LIKE that idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing one of if not the most important Defender? on a do or die game for the Packers? Because if that’s the case, it’s just showing that your expectations are out of whack. It would have been an upset for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been an upset for sure. I'm saying neither team was "supposed to win" because thats not really the way the NFL works, especially for two middling at best teams. I'm saying they need to be competitive, and certainly on offense they weren't' even slightly competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those guys were still less sad sack, woe is me than most on this board You guys pretend everything is the end of the world and the sky is falling. While in reality we just won 7 games. Had a chance at the playoffs with one of the best win improvements in the either league, which included turning a historicity bad defense into a pretty darn good one by the end of the year.

They didn’t do what you wanted them to and you are now lashing out. Enjoy your misery I guess. I’m going to enjoy the GM, Head Coach and Roster who helped turn us around from the worst team in the league last year all while having the anchor that was Luke Getsy chained around their necks by the Old Farts at Halas Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
