    I thought he played pretty well, didn't force anything, made some good passes. It was great to see that 3 go in for him late in the game. I believe it's an adjustment period for him and he'll get it going soon. Also, the flop by Baldwin, he basically took himself out of the game, don't how smart of a play that was, turned out good for the Illini.

    Why should Poles have job security? I wanted him fired, in lieu of that, I do not see the issue with making Poles prove he can get it right. This whole lame duck GM thing is bit overblown by the media, while it may mean something to prospective head coaches, I do not believe it's the be all, end all. If the eventual head coach comes in and starts winning it will be mostly due to Poles fixing the roster. Given this, the GM situation will effectively fix itself in that Poles will be extended or re-signed.

    Assumption on my part, your probably correct and Kingsburry doesn't interview at all. In this case, with a fixed roster, the Bears will competitive with any of Johnson, Brady, Monken or McCarthy.

    It boils down to the trenches, if Poles successfully addresses them, most especially the OL. They'll be competitive with any of Johnson, Brady, Kingsburry, Monken or even McCarthy. Coaching matters but, it's still more about Poles ability to fix the roster for me, that's the primary concern.
  5. gflore34
    We know whatever decision the Bears make will be wrong. What if it is Ben Johnson? Is that wrong by default?
  6. gflore34
    Don't trust him to get it right in any phase, I'm certain we'll see more of the same nonsense.
  7. gflore34
    Hell, putting together a decent OL goes a long way towards respectability. It's doable, for most any GM, well, average GM, which Poles can't even manage.

    Did a comparison between Dexter and Carter, stats wise, there's nothing to suggest Carter' appreciably better than Dexter. Get another guy who can get to the QB and we'll see Dexter have a larger impact. My guess is a less than healthy Sweat allowed teams to double up on Dexter for most of the season.

    Most anybody can see that, how come someone like McCaskey and, I guess, Warren cannot? There's absolutely no empirical evidence for keeping Poles, none.
  10. gflore34
    Definitely, and great choices at that, we'll see how fares when he loses one or both of them.
  11. gflore34
    I believe he's nothing more than a glorified meathead who's propped up by excellent assistance coaches.

    Other than Caleb, the punt return was my favorite play of the season. After the Packers won in Chicago they were ready to anoint their special teams coach as the greatest ever. Some kind of a special teams whisperer because he had the "foresight" to predict a blocked kick on a noodle legged kicker who has to kick a line drive on long attempts. Just hilarious the Bears were able to fool them so badly, was Blackwell even touched?
  13. gflore34
    I don't believe so, the dude's an injury waiting to happen. He can barely finish a game, don't know how the Bears can be blamed.
  14. gflore34
    Why wouldn't it be a cheap incentive laden contract? I'd offer him a one-year prove it deal. With his lack of availability, I don't believe he'll get a multi-year guaranteed money offer on the open market.
  15. gflore34
    Honestly, Rome Odunze' earlier sideline catch has been better than anything Mr. Greatest WR Jefferson has done tonight.
  16. gflore34
    That was always there, wouldn't be surprised if the Rams take care of them next week.
  17. gflore34
    They just scored again, WTF all world greatest ever Justin Jefferson? Can't get open against a JV secondary? And here I thought the Vikings would light up the scoreboard.
  18. gflore34
    Please, please let Poles be a causality Bears.
  19. gflore34
    Don't see an NFL week 18 thread so I'll just discuss Lions/Vikings here, I like the Vikings. I believe they'll manage a key stop or two whereas, I don't see the Lions coming close to stopping the Vikings. The Niners, with a patch work OL, and other injuries on offense rolled all over the Lions. Niners beat themselves, it wasn't anything the Lions did on defense.

    Game with Washington was much closer than it should have been, definitely a let down by the young Illini. Still, they won, a win on road in Big Ten is a good thing. Hell, two wins on a West Coast swing, I doubt many Midwest/East Big Ten teams could have pulled that off.
  21. gflore34
    Yeah, they'll be in position to draft one of the top OL prospects.

    I find it ironically hilarious the Bears abused the Packers on special teams, totally faking them out of their collective pants with DJ Moore on the punt return. Take that GB special teams guru, ha, ha, ha. Another thing I noticed, the Packer kicker had to resort to the line drive on the 55 yard FG. You never know, that may come back to bite them in the ass vs. the Eagles. Although with Love and Watson hurting, I don't think giving the ball to Jacobs on every down is going to work in Philadelphia. Therefore, there's a good chance the game may not come down to a FG. Surprisingly, Santos managed to get some air under his kick, I thought certain he was going to line drive it right into a block.

    They've got to do right by Caleb, regardless of the circumstances he just helped end an 10 and 11 game losing streaks. Non of this Flores, Vrabel horsefeathers.
  24. gflore34
    No, they've got to give noodle leg the boot and enter the modern realm of NFL kickers.
  25. gflore34
    Maybe, hopefully, they take care of Washington on Sunday, if they do, they might inch into the top 20.
