    And 2 of their last 4 games are against a team who is 12th in overall DVOA even though they've managed to go 6-7 so far. On top of that... We've had to play 5 teams coming off their bye or TNF mini-bye including 4 times in the last 5 weeks. Our own bye gave us a full 2 days of extra rest than our opponents. And we've had to alternate home and road games every week which is annoying. The schedule makers did us wrong this year. Schedule makers did us right. They knew they couldnt leave Nagy's and Paces future susceptible to scheduling luck.

    Yea, they're basically a super average team 4 years running now with one easy schedule, one hard schedule and 2 middle of road schedules. Looks like Sunday night did a real number on their DVOA. Were 18th ranked and now down at 24th ranked D now. So maybe this year's version is really just bad, but still a little better than the counting stats and record.

    The thing I actually appreciated about the whole Be You thing, even though everyone mocked it, was at least you might flame out quick if "you" sucked. But I guess Pace or George or whoever deciding his fate is just like "tell me more about who you are?"

    I think we're close enough now to start talking magic numbers, as official elmination could be a factor in a early firing. 4 games left and they can't catch ARI, GB, TB, DAL on record, and can't catch LA on tie breaker. Due to the tiebreaker, 1 SF win or CHI loss eliminates them from the 6th spot. We're down to 7th spot now. 5 teams have a 2+ game lead on Bears and of those: Washington and Philly eadh have a +2 game lead in the standings and +3 and +2 in the Conf tie breaker. A Washington W and Chicago L puts them up +3 in standings and +4 in tie breaker, so that should effectively end it for the Bears. A Philly W and Chicago L keeps them alive I think. A Bears loss next week also is a Vikings W, but I think the Bears would still be technically alive at that point with a +3 in standing, but possibility to force a tie breaker. Anyways unless I have it wrong, cheering for Washington W and Chicago L should do it. Although honestly there are so many h2hs left, I think the Chicago L alone might be enough for mathematical elimination, largely because PHI and WFT play each other twice.

    I don't buy that they are putting him in any danger. He hasn't taken the amount of abuse to where he will be shellshocked from getting hit in the future. He also isn't really developing any unfixable habits. If he doesn't turn out to be a good QB it's because he can't play, not because a coach ruined him in a span of 13 games. Agreed, I think the worst case is probably stalled and not regressive development. Fans still have a really bad case of treating every up or down game as a trend instead of noise. We should expect noise from young QBs. Hopefully the next coach does a better job minimizing the low noise, but it all goes into the development. I'd be really curious if the misthrows were injury related. I feel like he looked his most inaccurate last night, but if he's really not 100% his mechanics arent gonna be consistent I would guess.
  7. WrigleyField 22
    I mean it's all probably at least a 50% luck at least, with the vast majority outcomes being a very mediocre and highly volatile season to season middle ground.

    I'm just gonna go to bed convincing myself that George was really stuffing their walking papers into that envelope and just wait to be disappointed tomorrow.
  9. WrigleyField 22
    Prob why he punted. Fun onside kick though!
  10. WrigleyField 22
    Would be great if those were Paces and Nagy's walking papers the camera caught George stuffing in an envelope.

    I agree he won't be back or hasn't been good enough to pine over, but the Bears D hasn't been bad with a terrible secondary. Clearly Desai has a future in the league. By what measure? They're bottom 1/2 of the league 18th in dvoa. Pretty middle of the pack ish.

    This DB is decimated and it already wasn't good. Only so much a guy can do lol

    It was a deep fake. Act confused to confuse the defense. 5D chess guys.
  15. WrigleyField 22
    This is gonna be one of those weird ass games we look back on in a decade. Especially if it ends up being Rodgers last Bears-Packers game.
  16. WrigleyField 22
    Officially worth the pick lol
  17. WrigleyField 22
    Its been true since the end of the Lovie era except for 2018.

    I'm obviously broke because I just assume they'll blow this, but I think they'll cover tonight.
  20. WrigleyField 22
    This is a weird game so far.

    Trace is more than believable in a president role. He's damn near ideal with his experience and connections. Ideally I'd probably want someone with some tram side experience. His is players/coach side. You've seen the agent route in basketball a little, but weren't those guys who started their own firms? I don't think thats Trace. But whatever business/team side he lacks, he's presumably gonna come in under Ted for a while still anwyays and he could slowly add that aspect to his knowledge base. But I'd gladly take him. Whatever he lacks it's beleivable he can build on it. Definitely seems well respected. And he isn't just a GM-personnel type that someone wants to call President.

    Yea it's almost certainly not true, but the statement would basically be identical whether it was true or not. I've seen Armstrong floated before, but this is the first article that's tried to pass it as an actual thing and not just throwing out ideas. I often mock the "Bears should hire a Football man as President" takes, but Armstrong is actually somewhat believable in a Pres role, working on both business matters and oversight of a GM, without actually just being the GM. Presumably Ted would still be CEO, but more focused on stadium deal now and perhaps handing over the mantle to Armstrong in time when he decides to retire.

    This isn't gonna stop. Jeez.

    Oakland, Chicago for sure. Minnesota, Jacksonville seem more likely than not to have openings Fangio I'd put at 40/60 he's out, but a collapse down the stretch and their desire for a splash on offense could get him fired I think Judge is safe in NYG The wildcards are Seattle (do they fire a SB winning coach?), New Orleans (Payton want a change of scenery?), and Tampa (Arians retirement?), Is Jacksonville talk about Meyer quitting or being fired?

    With college head coaches signing absurd extensions the talk of hot young coaches coming up from college is no longer an option. Or NFL teams are just gonna start competing at that level. There's some speculation these college deals are gonna force pro teams to compete.
