RT @Vega529: After the Marshall TD Lamarr Houston just jumped up from his couch to celebrate and tore his other ACL #bears #bearstalk

[Careless]

I wonder what the ratings for this game will be tomorrow.

[UMFan83]

Has Emery been good?

 

His FA record has been mediocre at best as well as the draft.

 

He's been GM for 3 years and this team is awful. It's pretty clear he has not been good.

He's largely done well with talent composition IMO. He inherited an aging defensive team and outside of his first draft where he still managed to draft a pro-bowl caliber WR, I think has done well drafting. His only real bad FA signing to this point is JA. And his one trade was great

 

At this juncture his coaching decisions have completely undermined those things(literally half of today's scores can be linked directly to coaching not talent). So yes he's been bad, but I don't think it's unreasonable if you liked him at first you'd give him a shot to correct this current existing weakness.

yeah lamar houston played his role adequately until he tore his ACL celebrating a sack late in a blowout. It might be a fluke, but character comes into play when evaluating FA moves, and houston has been a bonehead since he got here, getting into multiple fights with teammates, calling out the fans on twitter, and then the aforementioned injury in garbage time.

That's the same [expletive] defense that hendry lived on for a decade.

 

Emery has been awful.

I can't argue he's not awful because the results speak for themselves.

 

If we're comparing him to Hendry though I think Hendry actually had the ability to set the franchise back beyond his tenure. I don't see that with Emery because at worst I do believe he'll improve our talent base. But the coaching decision can be remedied immediately at whatever point you want to move on.

 

Now granted it would be better to move on in 2014 rather than waiting til 2015 until you remember it's still Philips who will be making that replacement. Toss up as to what he'll find IMO.

That is only because of the nature of MLB vs NFL rosters, the latter of which do not take 3 years to improve. Of course, that is also only true if you stupidly believe the Cubs roster couldn't have been better the last 3 years if somebody actually tried to make them better.

 

 

Hendry didn't set the team back. He failed to win enough when they were capable of winning. He has nothing to do with the past 3 years.

I think Hendrys reign had a definite impact in year one. But you are right in that it's apples to oranges to compare MLB to NFL.

 

Bottom line I think it's a toss up with Phillips next hire so I don't hate the idea of giving Emery another coaching hire (if he wants, he can go down with Trestman if he wants I guess). I think he'll get us another good draft class next year and if that's the worst case scenario I'll take that and the coin flip on Emery fixing coaching vs Phillips redoing everything.

It is a factor, true. Maybe his next coach should be a Lovie type players coach I guess?

I hear you, but his bonehead character cut his production in half this year

[Tryptamine]

Absolutely inexplicable that he keeps getting to return kicks when putting no one back there would give better results 90% of the time.

[UMFan83]

i think both trestman and chris williams are finding oot the NFL is a little more difficult than the CFL.

Without looking at whatever run oriented DE nice guys were available I'm sure it's still a better sign.

challenging a 3 yard completion up 48-7. And losing.

[Tryptamine]

Really McCarthy? Such a douche move on a 3 yard pass.

[UMFan83]

McCarthy is challenging a 3 yard completion inside his own 20 yard line in a 48-7 game? And he's not even going to win. What a douche.

#Bears have 158 penalty yards so far. Franchise record is 170 set in 1944 and we still have 20 mins left on the game clock.

make that 168!

[UMFan83]

Add our punter to the list of Bears having a bad night.

 

Why am I still watching this?

[scarey]

The only good thing I'm seeing on the Bear's side of the line of scrimmage is Matt Forte's mustache. That thing is glorious.

[WrigleyField 22]

 

Much like having Aaron Rodgers can cover a multitude of GM sins, fantastically failing your HC hire can hide many other decent GM moves.

To be completely fair as well a huge part of Rodgers success should be directed to having the right coaches develop him.
