Week 2: Bears (0-1 wtf) @ 49ers (1-0) Sun Night 7:30 PM NBC

[Sammy Sofa]

In general?

[biittner77]

Sounds like the coaching staff is pissed.

 

They just lost to Buffalo, whom no on even remembers the last time they were good, and they're about to get humiliated on national TV

I just think its an interesting reaction. Most of these guys give you the ol' "Its only one game of 16" line. These guys are acting like they will get canned if it doesn't turn around quickly. In Tucker's case that's probably true.

Bears have signed WR/KR Chris Williams to their practice squad and released undrafted rookie LB DeDe Lattimore from the practice squad.

Definitely Tucker.

 

But also consider Trestman. His first year missed the playoffs. Now there's significant adversity on the horizon. I'll go back to what some of us said when he was hired. There's no history of NFL coaching to fall back on. His success was in doing exactly what he's good at now: QB development. After that, what is there to say he's going to succeed at all the other things necessary to have success in the NFL as a HC? Not much.

 

It's easy to see scenarios where people begin to lose confidence in him - and fairly quickly too.

He turned a bad offense into one of the league's best in one season. The first move would be to replace Tucker if the defense doesn't do something. They spent almost all of their free agency money and the draft on defense.

Players? Maybe. But the offensive players seem to like him and if they put up numbers (indications are that they will based on last week) they'll continue to support him. The only other guy that matters is the GM. And Emery is the one that hired him.

[jersey cubs fan]

Barring a complete collapse, including a bad offense and a 4-12 type season, Trestman is going to get a chance with a new DC.

I'm sure he will. I didn't think that I said he wouldn't. All I'm trying to say is that I could see players beginning to question him a little quicker than usual. Could even lead to him being replaced sooner than one would originally think.

 

You said barring a complete collapse...

 

I think that's on the table right now. Detroit looked good. Vikings looked good - better than I thought. GB will put it together in all likelihood. Beyond that it's SF, CAR, ATL, NE, NO. All of those could be losses. Let's say they go 2-4 in division, with another 5 losses outside. 7-9 in his second season isn't going to satisfy many people. It's a game worse than year 1. Another game like BUF and we're talking 6-10.

 

What do you think anyway? I'm just curious. IIRC you were one who said Trestman might have more trouble if the team struggled.

I've thought from the beginning that Trestman's touchy feely ways were something that could lose a team in a hurry, and given the parity in the NFL it wouldn't take much to knock a should be contender into a dumpster fire. He did more with the offense than I expected in week 1 and that sort of thing can allow him to keep his job a bit longer. However, I thought they were running the risk of completely losing the defensive veterans (already happened) and there are not enough young-uns to step-in. I still think Trestman is going to be walking a tight rope.

 

Lovie got the most out of his guys almost everyday and the worst he ever did after his first year was 7-9, in part because he got the most out of guys and never lost the room. He commanded respect and at the very least he had a stable defense that kept them in almost every game. Of course it didn't do much more than that.

 

I think Trestman's Bears are a little more susceptible to the disaster seasons and those can lead to quick turnover of coaching staffs, including the head coach.

That's an interesting take. I think if anything, having a good offense will keep the Bears in games. Last year, the only game they weren't in was the Eagles game. Partly because the Eagles had a TD for every offensive play the Bears had in the 1st quarter, and not by virtue of an offensive turnover.

 

But I guess I agree with the rest for the most part. One thing I would say though is I think Emery and Trestman will go together. If the offense is still producing, even in a diasterous 4-7 win season, Trestman will get a shot with a new DC. Emery seems to know the importance of Jay Cutler to this franchise, so if he is performing Emery is going to want to keep him in the same offense.

[biittner77]

Tucker loses his job unless they make the playoffs. Even then it will be tough.

 

Lovie never lost the room but the room kept getting older and the Bears just finally addressed that this off season.

4-7 wins is a big spread. I think a 4 win season means Cutler either got injured again and/or [expletive] the bed, which could effectively end his career in Chicago. I think 7 wins is enough to keep everybody employed as long as the offense looks good.

[cubbyvirus00]

I'm a glutton for punishment so I went into a 49ers forum to see what they were saying about this game.

 

Chicago is essentially a lesser version of Dallas.

 

how fortunate that we get to play tony romo in week 1 and tony romo jr. in week 2

 

The Cubs. Our 6th preseason game. The NFL was kind to us this year

 

It's the opener... there's a better chance of the world standing still that day than the Cubs having a chance of winning.

 

Oh and this gif was posted of Briggs...and that was 2 years ago....ugh

That gif is epic. I remember inviting over some 49er fans to watch the game and I was excited that we would have a fun game to watch. I was miserable and hammered by the second quarter.

 

 

Trestman has 2 more years on his deal, along with interestingly enough, Jay Cutler. One would have to think those two are tied together. I also think 4-12 is not out of the question this year. This team is old and very average with an awful D-Coord.

[sneakypower]

i feel more embarrassed for whoever's on the left getting a face-full of turf from Alex Boone

4-12 is much better than 6-10.

I don't see how it'd end Cutler's career in Chicago. They'd owe him an awful lot of money.

Lmfao. Between Briggs getting lit up, Collins doing some sort of waltz, some unidentifiable DL helplessly trying to avoid eating turf, Urlacher getting manhandled, and Conte's "Oh [expletive], better cover this guy" dash...this is probably my favorite Bears gif of all-time now.

 

This is 5 defensive guys all getting destroyed in their own individual way.

[Banedon]

this is probably my favorite Bears gif of all-time now.

 

There's all kinds of great Bears gifs out there, but your new favorite is the one where the Bears are getting owned.

I'm not saying they would necessarily cut him the next day, but a disaster year by Cutler now, in year 2 of Trestman, pretty much demands a first round QB drafted in the offseason. They can't run the risk of struggling again in 2015 with the same group because that is when everybody loses their job.

That much I'd agree with. They'd definitely start planning for a long term alternative.
