    Well, they only scored 21. If you want to talk overall outcomes, they won the game. Have you gone back to measuring a pitcher's worth by the W column? This is a terrible argument even for you. And he's saying that so is going by points rather than how the offense actually played and moved the ball. I wasn't particularly pleased with how they moved the ball. Minnesota did nothing and the Bears could/should have put the game away but they did not. Maybe my opinion meter was skewed by how relatively poorly the offense has played all season, but the point of the matter is they haven't come close to doing their job this year. They failed on two possessions that started at midfield and both the end of 2nd quarter and end of 4th quarter drives were throat stompable possessions that again disappointed. If that 21 point effort was an anomaly I would shrug it off and say they got the job done but they've spent all year falling way short of what they are supposed to be doing. And this is from Trestman to Cutler, Forte, and on down to the lowest lineman.

    Maybe you can't, but sane people should. As well as the rest of the season where they have failed to be anything but average moving the ball and below average scoring. The offense has been much worse than it should be and hasn't gotten past 28 yet this year. Minnesota didn't do dick all game long and all the Bears could score without any pressure was 21. They are a massive disappointment.

    That pressure to perform excuse does not hold in the Green Bay game. They crapped the bed.

    Thoughts from Diamondbacks blog. Yes, I would do that trade they are suggesting in a second. http://www.azsnakepit.com/2014/11/19/7247561/trading-miguel-montero-diamondbacks-cubs Judging by the poll results, more Cubs fans visit that blog than D-Backs fans. That's because Cubs fans are better fans.

I have little interest in Montero, but that trade seems like something I'd enjoy.

    That being said, if we moved tomorrow I wouldn't tell my father in law until at least February.

    Less likely that the FIL passing on information we already know, or less likely than the FIL yanking his buddy's chain, or less likely than any number of possibilities I haven't thought of. Of course Lester's father-in-law is interested in what contract he'll sign, and of course he would like to know. It simply doesn't seem likely to me that the guy has an real inside info that he would then pass along. The negotiations are taking place without the FILs direct knowledge or input, and despite being related to the Lesters, it's not clearly obvious to me that he's any closer to the process than a well-connected reporter would be. What did the text say? Lester could be a Cub? Say whaaaaaaa- It seems pretty likely to me that the FIL would be aware of which way the family is leaning. He doesn't need up-to-the-minute status reports on negotiations to have a pretty decent idea which city his daughter thinks she will be living for the next half decade.

    me too He was voted in back in August but just got his contract today.

    I don't know why it should. The team has regressed for quite a while. Maybe the McCaskey's will see the ridiculously long leash that Epstein got and knowing their cash flow isn't a problem they will feel comfortable with the status quo. But that is just further delaying the inevitable. I want an overhaul. Just curious, does your overhaul stop at Emery? If you're decided to can Emery the ax needs to cut a little deeper still. I would dump Phillips but do not think that is necessarily necessary for football improvement purposes. While Phillips obviously doesn't make football decisions he has to hire someone who does, in a field where the candidates have way less publically available information and which he really doesn't seem to be tuned into the insider circle. I'd be very nervous that Phillips next GM is worse than Emery. More so than being worried that Emery's next coach being worse than Trestman. Also raw's stability argument holds more weight at the GM level IMO. (And obviously even more at Pres/ownership level but again that's really the only true fresh slate). I just hope George has made enough connects across the league to positively influence the next search.

    I don't have a problem with Cutler per se, but they aren't winning with him because they aren't winning with Trestman and they aren't winning with Emery.

    I don't get how you can ask that question about Cutler. He has stabilized the QB position like no prior Bears QB has ever come close to doing. But he's done that by basically being average. Winning with an average QB is possible with a great team but this team isn't going to be great with Emery and Trestman around. And I really have no idea what your last sentence means. The defense is no better and the offense isn't near good enough. That is as good a reason as any to start over. And they should start over with a real NFL GM this time.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Lovie also got his players to play hard, something Trestman is incapable of doing. Trestman's offense took a big step back this year. It isn't comparable to Lovie's defense. All you're doing is delaying the inevitable and praying for a miracle. If the cap situation is such that they have no choice to do it, whatever, but there is no point in pretending stability is the problem with the Bears. They have a shaky at best GM running the team, an inept coaching staff, a terrible defense and their QB isn't anywhere good enough to make up for all the other weaknesses.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    I wouldn't necessarily call Cutler "Emery's francise QB". Emery gave him an extension that was relatively team friendly but he inherited Cutler and I am pretty sure he would never go out and choose Cutler as his guy under different circumstances. Personally I would just hire a real NFL GM, HC and staff, let them fart around with Cutler for a year as they get their roster set-up and look for their own QB. As soon as Cutler can be released in a financially viable manner. If you want to keep Trestman around to babysit on the way out the door you can, but that's just a waste of time in my opinion.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    continuity with good coaches help, but Trestman is not a good coach and the staff is terrible. I think Cutler's time is all but done here, Marshall isn't going to be around very long and there is no reason to keep Trestman for continuity purposes.

    what argument?

    was he ever a candidate? He spent most of his career trying to be. Which probably contributed significantly to the Cubs only trying to "contend within their division" rather than build the best team possible. He sucked up to the other owners by keeping the Cubs out of the the highest echelon of spenders and contributing to the inflation.

    Maybe he could be a good head coach, but he sure as hell wouldn't be atop my list.

    Except during the summer when the kids are out of school, more day games would be worse. In the end it's probably a wash, and probably isn't a big factor anyway. when the kids are home from school having to work during the day is the best option.

    They almost had their season ruined.
