Maybe its the hair or am I the only one who thinks Meatloaf - RIP - at first glance? I think of his brother, then my mind immediately goes to his weird foot fetish, then I get sick to my stomach. Well, OK, think the Meatloaf thought works better in this case. I can see the whole foot thing making one sick to their stomach.

OH horsefeathers HOW DEEP DOES IT GO? Maybe its the hair or am I the only one who thinks Meatloaf - RIP - at first glance?

We'll see who's hired at OC, etc. hopefully soon, for me and this setting a very low bar, if we see a Bears offense that's able to overcome some negative plays and keep the drive alive. That may mean they're trending upwards on offense, basically, for my lifetime, I've never seen a Bears offense that was able to overcome the occasional negative play. Certainly, through the whole of Nagy' time you knew a negative play was end of that offensive possession.
-
Well many were excited about Nagy, we know how that turned out, whereas, many are not excited about Eberflus. So, maybe, this will turn out to be successful? I know, I'm just grasping at straws here but, it sure doesn't come off as a good hire.
-
How the hell did this happen? Out rebounded, out shot at the FT line, still managed to win, much like the Illini' loss to OSU last season. Nice to be on the other side for a change.
-
Indeed, this is the one George McCaskey has to get correct, if so, everything else falls in place and the Bears will turn it around.
-
I'm certain this is mainly speculation however, read Polian was making a big push for Brown as GM, Caldwell as HC whereas, Poles is outside of Polian' sphere. If so, I like it, apparently Poles is coming with the authority to find and hire the next HC as well, no internally preferred candidate to be pushed upon him ala Pace/Fox. Sounds good to me.

Quinn's a hard pass for me, thus far, I've got Harbaugh, Quinn and Frazier as hard passes, my top three, in no particular order - Daboll, Flores, Leftwich - just please no re-treads with defensive backgrounds.
-
If they go with Caldwell I guess it would be a bridge type of situation where the Bears want to get the franchise headed in the right direction. I don't necessarily agree with that strategy but that has to be what they are thinking. Either way, the Bears seem to be doing the opposite of what the most successful franchises are doing these days. The 4 conference championship coaches are all offensive guys, 3 of them young offensive guys. But the Bears are looking at old dudes with a heavy concentration of guys with a defensive background. Isn't it what many of us were expecting? The youngish hot offensive coordinator approach didn't work with Nagy so, lets go old and/or defensive background maybe that'll work. I'd like to think we're all overreacting but, such stupidity in approaches is ingrained within the McCaskey's.
-
Mainly, for me, regardless of the GM aspect it shouts wrongheadedness, I'm probably being irrational. However, I could totally see George McCaskey getting up there introducing Frazier as the next HC babbling about "Bear" football - defense, TOP run the ball 40 times a game completely under utilizing or failing to develop Justin Fields. You know the whole opposite approach thing - went an offensive slant with Nagy that didn't work so, try going the other way. Never mind that Nagy was just a shitty X's and O's coach, all that McCaskey probably got from it was the offensive slant did not work out.
-
Not that McCaskey should be basing the next Bears' HC on one or two games but, if yesterday' Buffalo - KC game doesn't scream offense is the way. Then nothing will, you had Buffalo' league leading defense, headed by Lesile Frazier, get sliced, diced, chewed up and otherwise abused, there wasn't a damn thing they could do to stop KC from scoring. Frazier would be an a colossal mistake as the next Bears HC, its so obviously wrong and this is what scares me. Because if there's one thing the Bears do well its make the wrong decisions almost always. Although firing Pace did give me some hope but, Frazier as a possibility is still there, why can't the Giants, Jags or Dolphins just go ahead and hire him so McCaskey can't.

This. 100%! This is the thing that gets most Packers fans. To have 30 consecutive seasons of HoF QB play and only 2 championships in 3 tries is baffling. And last night wasn’t the first time STs has ended their playoffs. Also mind boggling how the organization has not really addressed this unit as a whole for most of the last 20 years. That said, the Twitter-roasting is hilarious. I think my favorite was the OAN and 1. I honestly thought they were the best team going into the playoffs, clearly the favorites to win the Super Bowl. A few weeks ago maybe, it was during the last Bears Packers' game someone mentioned special teams and I thought will that be the Packers playoff Achilles heel this time around? I thought, no, unfortunately, their pretty good, they should be OK. It's got to be even more frustrating because Garoppolo is Trubisky level terrible, he's an awful QB and Packers managed to lose to him twice.
-
Most definitely, I'd like them to run it back hell, I wanted them to be coming off a SB with Rodgers when the Bears start beating them. Although, the prospect of seeing if LaFleur and Co. are truly brilliant at coaching and seeing if Aaron Jones, Corey Dillon, that no name TE, etc. look like Pro Bowlers with Jordan Love as their QB is appealing. I strongly suspect Green Bay will do whatever it takes to retain Rodgers, they know their chances of being good are all tied to him.
-
I do not believe it's unrealistic to think Daboll' will hold out for a Bears offer, it's best job available. If doesn't who is the next best option Flores, Leftwich?
-
Nope. I tell you what though, when Kofi comes back and starts to take some "accidental" or "incidental" shots to face/head, if I'm Underwood, I go nuts on the officials and the opposing coach. That's cheap [expletive] trying to take a player out.
-
Another concussion for the Illini tonight, this time its Kofi, WTF is it with the Illini and concussions lately? Do not recall a basketball team have so many players with concussions over the last two years. Guess, like Curbelo, it happened in practice and, was aggravated by the elbow he took to face from Edey on Monday. Without Kofi the Illini still have enough to beat Maryland tonight, Curbelo being back will surely help with that.
-
Another hard pass for me, nope, nope, nope, I'm good with Daboll, Flores, Caldwell even McDaniels, Frazier would be a typical Bear mistake.
-
With Nagy and Co. coaching yes, I don't believe it's correct to just assume that under the new regime. Unlike, that previous stubborn dumb horsefeathers, I think the next HC, etc. are going to look to cater the offensive and scheme to things Fields does well. In complete contrast to the statement above that would be setting him up for success. I don't think the bar is set at All Pro either, marked improvement with the Bears scoring a horsefeathers ton of points and handing one to the Packers and Rodgers would do it for me.
-
I think Edey is slow and foul prone, he can be had by a mobile big man, I know that's not Kofi's game. However, I do believe, in comparison, he's faster than Edey and a better athlete. We may see more of that the next game perhaps, more so, with a healthy Hawkins than Kofi. The straight post up and bully your way to the basket won't work with Edey. Of course. However, the scouting report is out on Edey... he continues to put up big numbers. 7-4 is not easy to deal with in college hoops. With Curbelo back in the rotation for the Illini they'll be better, his ability to get anywhere with the ball and dish is going to help out with drawing reaching fouls on Edey. I think the Illini will change the approach for the rematch, try to get Edey moving, if they can do that they'll get him in foul trouble. I'd try having Kofi on pick and rolls, cuts to the goal, back door cuts, most especially with Curbelo at PG.
-
I take much of the Fields talk with a grain of salt, he had a coach and offensive scheme that did not put him a position to succeed. By doing so it set him up for failure, making it easy to take shots at him. Let's see how he does with a coaching staff that knows what the horsefeathers they're doing.
-
I know having success with super stars is scaring some off Leftwich but, I think there's a stronger case him. Far stronger than say, Hackett, who should be a hard, hard pass, outside of his work with Rodgers there's nothing like what Leftwich did with Winston.
-
Definitely, I would think finding a C will be priority one for the Bulls this off season. I don't get the lack of effort from him, Grizzlies and other teams getting offensive boards simply because they're working harder. Once in a while we get glimpses of effort from him and it usually turns out well. There was FT attempt in third were he really laid it on that Adams almost knocking him on his ass, why can't that there most of the time?
-
He's done an admirable job, but I'd still prefer Daboll, and, I've come full circle on Desai. What would the chances be that a Daboll head coach/Desai DC could work? The bears ended up 6th in total yards on D. Me to, if going to error, error on the side of offense, it's all about offense, offense in today's NFL. Daboll is the young, hot candidate with far more evidence of success than Nagy. So, hopefully, the McCaskey' aren't gun shy.

Philly and the Raiders were the two weakest teams in the playoffs and they're out. I think every remaining team is capable of winning or losing to their opponent and it not be considered a huge upset. I think you misspelled Steelers there. I’d take the Raiders over them for sure. Regardless, just make it three worst teams and that covers it. Without question Steelers were and are the worst of the playoff teams, didn't deserve to be in the playoffs at all, didn't play like a playoff team. Got some inexplicable breaks to beat the Bears, just garbage.
