  1. Lol awesome playcall tresty
  2. We'll always hire the worst option. We are cursed Which is why "change" doesn't cut it.
  3. Why. "Best" case scenario is it improves us and we get the 10th pick instead of the 3rd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not a bad point except I'd be afraid they would make no changes at all if they tolerate this for the rest of the year.
  4. I was going to say :-)
  5. Lol @ McClellan on that "blitz"
  6. I'd expect at least Tucker to get fired I expected Tucker to get fired. But this kind of play leads to clean sweeps I expected Tucker to be fired last January.
  7. Wile E Coyote, suuupah geenniuus
  8. I don't even relish the idea of Emery getting a 2nd shot at it, frankly. He couldn't have blown this hire any worse
  9. Hahah. Let's give up 60 tonight
  10. A good player, who Trestman and his clowns shouldn't be allowed to destroy.
  11. Come on. Gonna be loads of fun.
  12. 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.
  13. Terrible gamble by McCarthy there.
  14. He had Arians and Trestman in his office and chose Trestman. A choice that is looking so horrible right at the moment.
  15. didn't matter but I honestly haven't seen a more ridiculous review than the gronk TD
  16. Arians really was available and Emery chose not to interview him, right? I don't want him choosing our next coach.
  17. Can't do anything but laugh at it.
  18. Come on football gods you can't let this slip by without exacting some much-overdue punishment
  19. Likely cost 'em 4 pts
  20. Hah! Makes me wonder why no one did that to Payton.
  21. 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!
  22. Great plan but you know they won't do it yet.
  23. Something is just not right about Jay Cutler in that hat
