    Sucks that the Bears had a miraculous 5-1 start fearing multiple improbable comebacks when there are 2 really solid franchise caliber QBs available in the draft. Now we’re probably not even going to be bad enough to get our coach and GM fired. And possibly good enough that Nagy thinks he needs to trade draft stock again to improve next years team
  2. UMFan83
    And yet again we see an exhausted Bears defense start to cede late chunks of yards
  3. UMFan83
    4th down he stares at one side of the field the entire time and throws a wildly inaccurate pass of his back foot. When did we put Mitch back in?
  4. UMFan83
    I feel like if an impartial observer was watching this game closely they would think the Bears are terribly coached and undisciplined
  5. UMFan83
    Is it just me or did Montgomery have a chance to get the 1st on 2nd down and he just kind of walked out of bounds
  6. UMFan83
    There he goes again. Bears need to get momentum back and instead start the drive at the 10. (Yes I realize a long kickoff return would have gotten momentum back)
  7. UMFan83
    Agreed. And the 5-1 start is going to make it difficult for the Bears FO to justify firing him. I mean there are a number of ways you can justify it but the passive behavior of Bears management in general makes it unlikely unless the Bears finish like 5-11 or 6-10
  8. UMFan83
    So I guess Foles is just due for at least 1 inexplicable interception a game?
  9. UMFan83
    This team blows lol
  10. UMFan83
    And now the Saints are about to take the lead
  11. UMFan83
    Yeah, that's a bad call. You wait till 3rd down to call and get the ball back. 2nd down it made no sense Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk Actually pretty sure it was 3rd down. They got 12 on 3rd and Kamara converted from 4th and 1. Still dont like it...you have all the momentum and are getting the ball to start the 3rd. If the Bears defense stops them on 3rd down, best case scenario is they get the ball at around the Bears 20 with 45 seconds left. How likely is it the Bears terrible offense drives down and score points with 0 timeouts left? It was an unbelievably poor decision that gave a ton of momentum to the Saints going into the locker room.
  12. UMFan83
    I'm honestly livid right now, This makes absolutely no sense at all to call that timeout. That is up there with Fox challenging a 1st and goal from the 1 and losing the ball, Trestman kicking a FG on 2nd down in OT to lose a game that would have allowed the Bears to make the playoffs if won, and Lovie calling a TO with 1 second left in a tied playoff game giving the Seahawks a free hail mary opportunity to win the game
  13. UMFan83
    And look at that, the Saints get the 1st down and are a few yards away from FG range. Idiocy by Nagy And look at that. Should have been 13-3 Bears at halftime but that TO allows the Saints to drive for a TD. That is inexcusible and no one is talking about it

  15. UMFan83
    Not a big fan of the Bears TO there. 10 point lead, at home, and getting the ball to start the 2nd half. Why give the Saints any window to score points before halftime?
  16. UMFan83
    Have a feeling we are going to see a bunch of dump offs to Kamara and Saints points before the half.
  17. UMFan83
    Wow a big passing play AND big running play? In the same game? In the same half? Localized entirely within Soldier Field?
  18. UMFan83
    What percentage of Patterson touches are for 1 yard or less? 80%?
  19. UMFan83
    If Ginn was still “returning” punts, the Bears would be starting this drive inside the 25 most likely
  20. UMFan83
    Well that was nice to see
  21. UMFan83
    134 yards allowed on the Saints first 2 drives and somehow they only managed 3 points from it. Great to see some goalpost luck for us for once
  22. UMFan83
    lol Anyone can build powerhouse programs who win multiple National Championships. But if you really want to cement your legacy you need to build a Michigan team who can beat Ohio State. Exactly, it’s the white whale of coaching
  23. UMFan83
    OSU players likely came back to win a championship in a short season. But your point stands.
  24. UMFan83
    I think Harbaugh is as good as you are going to get unless UM could land Urban somehow (imagine the troll value there). The dream would be someone like Saban or Debo thinking that UMs recent ineptitude against OSU is a challenge worth trying to overcome and making a legacy move. But highly unlikely they would ever willingly go to coach at a school with high admission standards and a considerably worse talent pool to recruit from
  25. UMFan83
    Nevermind I’m going back to undecided on Harbaugh. I think it boils down to this: Outside of the 10 year war, the Michigan program has never consistently played at the level the fans demand of their program. In 5 seasons Harbaugh was 1 inch short of likely going to the CFP and another year where they were an OSU win away (though got blown out). He is not at the uberest elite level but he’s also consistently a solid team. I’m kind of ok with keeping Harbaugh and accepting that maybe 20% of the time he’ll have a contending caliber team, but the rest of the time he’s going to be in that 9-4 range.* But I’m also ok with risking stability and trying to find that coach that can take Michigan to the next level. tbh, you are probably not going to find that person, but if the goal is to build an annual contender then go this route. But be warned - we may end up in RichRod/Hoke territory also. * this is pending him finding a way to start winning rivalry games. Not asking him to even go .500 against Ohio State, 30-40% of the time sounds shitty but based on how much better Ohio State is as a program right now, it’s a minimal level of competency in a rivalry.
