Hindsight is always 20/20, but I like the call. In his own zone, down by only 1 TD, 3rd Quarter? I could see it if the gap was wider or it's the 4Q, but not there.

Terrible gamble by McCarthy there.

He had Arians and Trestman in his office and chose Trestman. A choice that is looking so horrible right at the moment.

didn't matter but I honestly haven't seen a more ridiculous review than the gronk TD

Arians really was available and Emery chose not to interview him, right? I don't want him choosing our next coach.

Can't do anything but laugh at it.

Come on football gods you can't let this slip by without exacting some much-overdue punishment

Likely cost 'em 4 pts

Hah! Makes me wonder why no one did that to Payton.

Hugely disagree with that; we were expecting/hoping for a mediocre defense. The latter isn't what anyone (I hope) was expecting; they are literally dependent on the turnover and have absolutely no other way of stopping the opposing team. But one would assume the offensive talent is still there, unless we're just assuming they've forgotten how to play. The defense was garbage last year and has only gotten worse; that's far more concerning to me because there's not even a baseline of tolerable that we can hope they can back to since for a season and a half now they've shown nothing. An offense simply isn't going to carry a team if you've effectively abandoned half of the team based on the product you've put on the field. Well you were wrong hoping for mediocre. They brought back the same [expletive] LB corps. Got older at S and only improved at nickel with a rookie. With injuries, both units that were among the worst in the league last year got worse. The hope was the DL would hide the deficiencies, but they haven't, though the Bears have been solid against the run for the most part. They have NOT gotten worse. And that's pretty much how the game works now. Nobody can stop any good offense. You hope for a big mistake on the offense (turnover, blown protection for sack, penalty). And there are examples of teams who have basically ignored half the ball and been successful. Last year's Colts, SB winning Saints, etc. Their offenses have been elite though, and the Bears aren't there despite having all the tools to be there and some precedence for it to have happened this year by now. The whole damn offseason was dedicated to improving the defense. How can it be wrong to hope for improvement to mediocre? That was the entire plan!

Great plan but you know they won't do it yet.

Something is just not right about Jay Cutler in that hat

You are [expletive] emotional about sports and that's the best way to be. There that's my compliment of the day.

Gave up 50+ points today. I only want to hear from Trestman if he is announcing Tucker's firing.

RedZone has really fallen off lately. Missing all kinds of live plays in favor of meaningless ones.

Last weekend of RedZone for me. I'm out.

Not like it matters here, but it just further shows how terrible the league refs are. It's embarrassing

That looks more like interference to me. He's tackling him by the ankles before the ball ever gets there.

Trestman gets a little more time because, I guess Head coaches just get a little more time than this?

It took a few more games than I thought it would, but this is the really well run offense that I knew would expose tucker for the dumbass that he is. yeah it didn't happen against green bay already So what? This is still another example. And you're wrong about Bennett being a good blocker. So there.

Normally I actually enjoy your emotional outbursts but this time it's ridiculous. There's no luck involved in this at all. And you know it.

Not their fault. They're bad I don't understand why or how they got this bad so quickly. 3rd oldest team in the NFL That's not a bad point, but the Colts Cardinals and Chargers are also pretty old and they are doing well so far.

Not their fault. They're bad I'm not mad at them, they're not as talented and they're poorly coached. I'm sure they're trying really hard. Except they do have some talent on this team, slick.
