  1. I hope the McCaskey's don't learn the wrong lesson from this. They seem to default to conservativism, not in their nature to make bold risky decisions. Two of those decisions, the Cutler trade and the Smith firing, have not paid dividends for the team. Both were absolutely the correct move to make, and the team should be applauded for it. Don't feel the need to go back to "safe" hires! Continue to be dynamic, just be smarter about it!
  2. I guess I deserve this. I supported the decision to fire Lovie Smith after a 10-6 season and was insistent on hiring an offensive mind. I'll still defend the decision to fire Lovie, but clearly Trestman wasn't the hire. I still mostly like Emery's talent acquisition skills. He's basically the anti-Angelo, in that he can hit on early picks (with the exception of Shea McClellin, his early rounders are extremely good: Jeffery, Long, Fuller) we just need that depth. Ah well.
  3. This is a perfect capstone to the completely weird and terrible Trestman regime. He's gone full nuclear. Learning he's going to be fired, he's decided to poison the well and destroy the Bears as much as possible before he goes. Amazing. This is a trainwreck of 2006 Cubs proportions
  4. Ryan Mundy falling over is the Bears forever
  5. Given the completely arbitrary rules governing roughing penalties this sport is becoming unwatchable
  6. Someone. Explain to me how that's roughing the passer
  7. Someone please explain to me how that's roughing
  8. How is that roughing? This isn't football anymore
  9. This needs to be offensive pass interference
  10. The game continues to be over
  11. That's another "how the hell wasn't that intercepted" ball Well that may as well be game
  12. The offense is playing well but these drops are killer. Ugh. I almost feel like you can't punt anymore because the Lions are gonna get 30 points at least Don't expect to get maybe one more stop
  13. He's been extremely bad today, it's good Jeffery has shown up
  14. So far the 3rd quarter has been...ok?? We need Stafford to Stafford some more
  15. You know I'm not a football genius or anything but you may not want to give up a touchdown here
  16. Is it only likely or probable that the Bears score 0 more points here on out
  17. What's embarrassing is that Detroit are gonna get more points lol
  18. Let's see how Trestman fucks this clock management up
  19. The football gods demand a pick six
  20. Wish the struggling ineffective lions offense was still there
  21. The football gods demand a pick six
  22. This is by far the best game Cutler has had this year, counting that pick he tried to throw on 2nd down Hope they can keep it up, this is the offense we were supposed to see
  23. Y'all saying Cutler is having the best year of his career are correct, but it's completely context-less. It's like looking at a batters OPS while ignoring his OPS+. QB stats are up *all over the league* so the real question is if Cutlers' stats are rising even more than the rising tide lifting all QB boats. Football outsiders has him as the 18th ranked QB in the league which, subjectively speaking, feels about right. It's also higher than Matt Stafford (lol)
