Still want a coaching change.

 

Mostly I want Emery to assert himself and start to define a new Bear era. Not the same crap -- that's why we hired a new GM. So we can move on from the same crap.

 

That's why most teams hire a new GM, but that's not why the Bears did. If so, Lovie would have been gone at the same time as Angelo. Emery also is a scout by trade, not a guy who has made a living working underneath shrewd GMs who make strong, bold moves. The boldest move he could make at this point is finally making OL a priority and doing everything he can to build this organization around it's franchise QB not around a coach, a defensive scheme, and "his" players.

How do you feel as Bates in that situation? You're likely getting only a year to prove yourself and you get replaced because your head coach is almost certainly on his way out

 

Try to prove to the rest of the league you can playcall? (With a terrible offensive line, almost certainly)

i'm starting to think that there's something to the idea that the mccaskeys just want to be competitive and not win the super bowl. maybe they got a bad taste in their mouths the last time the bears won it all because it may have cost them money.

I know you're playing somewhat of a reverse trolling game, but how could they have possibly lost money in the Super Bowl game?

they had to pay up. the 80's hawks were always a goaltender away for the same reason.

Pay up what? Like coaches and players? They more than made up that money in ticket sales and merchandise from the fanfare over how good those 80s teams were

i don't know. i think they made a fair share with merchandising and what not, but it's not like they have the term 85 bears trademarked and get royalties every time they are mentioned.

The only pro team that I really think is averse to winning are the Pirates, because they really do end up making more money with a low payroll

Difficult to quantify, but I believe that '85 team, and the legend it produced, has paid dividends to the organization ever since in terms of fan interest.

 

It's just something that can't be counted. I think it's there, though. Without '85 the Bears are an elder franchise that could never win. Like the Lions.

i think the blackhawks made money for years being bad. but i'm not talking about being bad, i'm talking about remaining competitive but never putting a championship product out on the field. filling the seats, keeping interest up, but never getting there

Does Mike McCarthy really care that much about 5 yards?

 

I guess for an offense like the Vikings, that really hurts their ability to run the ball

Why wouldn't the Packers want a first round bye?

 

Whoa there buddy, never said that.

 

It's not the end of their season. For Minnesota, it is.
