Typically I'd say no, I want them to win no matter what. And it's like a reflex - once we get into the game I'm going to cheer for them. But Poles flipped the script when he started trading players away in terms of whether the organization is trying to win. Clearly they aren't, so in a way rooting for the Bears to lose as a fan is also rooting for the Bears' to "win."

Not playing Fields might turn out to be one of the best decisions all year.
-
Damn that sucks.

Just watched the Fickell PC. Haven’t felt better about the Badgers since Alvarez.

Or a 2 year window of rebuild so he doesn't have to hit on all these picks/FA's, which seems nearly impossible. Someone isn't going to perform even though the college resume is solid or the FA acquisition makes sense. Was thinking about the upcoming offseason, while the Bears appear to have a bounty of resources to drastically change/improve their roster it's not idiot proof. This is the facet I'm concerned about; there's a possibility Poles may still horsefeathers it up. I'm not expecting every highly drafted player or FA signing to work however, I am expecting marked improvement on both sides of the ball along with beating the Packers. That's a more realistic expectation. They are starting from zip, so being competitive - maybe even a low-seed playoff contender - would be enough to call Poles' offseason a success provided he's still set up with resources/picks to further improve the following year. Yeah, beating the Packers would be such a boost for this franchise.

Hate to say it but he looks good. Yeah, the same kind of good that Mitch used to look like in essentially garbage time. I'll take my chances on GB's run of franchise QB's being over once Rodgers becomes an ex-Packer. That wasn’t garbage time. Look it’s a couple drives. I’m not saying he’s the next HOF Packers QB but he didn’t look lost like he did his last time out.

Rodgers jersey off. Welcome back Love.

Rodgers heads to the locker room for eval

Fickell was just announced as UW head coach. I’m happy. What he did at Cincy holds great appeal for a Badgers program struggling with recruitment providing real benefits on the field. He got a lot out of players without resources. Let’s see what he can do with large University support.

Browns win, thank you very much.
-
The jump in quality of opponent from one week to the next will be massive. They weren’t playing an NFL-caliber team today.
-
#1 lesson from this game: Fields is so good he was single-handedly keeping the Bears in games that would ALL have looked like this if not for him.
-
I can’t think of a worse one.
-
That’s an NFL kicker.
-
There’s an obligation to watch this, for me at least. And I always want to see success. So it’s just really hard to sit and watch this level of ineptitude even though I understand the bigger picture.
-
FWIW the ball is coming out quicker.
-
Exactly right.
-
Needless to say I’m pretty stoked by this, if it turns out to be Fickell.
-
Here for the comedy.
-
Most interesting playoff in years, IMO.

Leonhard is way more than just a Chryst holdover. He's a 40 year old alum with 10 years or relatively recent NFL experience. His defenses have largely been very good to excellent. Beyond all of this we were in the same freshman history section. Word is that Aranda was the other coach seriously considered. I’m sure he’s a great guy. This team needs an offense.
-
Purdue is terrible but whatever. When the entire division is junk you wind with a mediocre team celebrating their turn to go get slaughtered by the other division that has all the actual football programs of note. As for the Badgers. Word is we’re hiring Jim Leonhard, even though he’s a holdover from the Chryst failure, even though he’s just lost the biggest game - the one game - anyone cared about him winning this year, and even though he’s never been anywhere other than Wisconsin as a coach. Why the horsefeathers even fire Chryst if you’re just going to stick with his program anyway? I mean what the horsefeathers are they even thinking? Rant off.

Dear lord no.
