    Noooo I want to see a Matt Nagy coached game without any of his coaches and calling plays so I can hate watch. First Nagy screws up the headsets, now he gave Lazor Covid just so he can call plays.....that maniacal bastard! Next he's gonna marry old lady Ginny and inherit the damn keys to the franchise.

    Yea I wouldn't be surprised if some attorneys pile up a huge list of anyhting remotely possible as cause and hold that litigation threat over Meyer for a settlement to get out of some but not all payments.

    So I've been on a mission to mock all the President of Football Ops proposals I see thrown around, and after some discourse I think I finally have the most concise way to express my issue with most of these plans. In any well run business a leader needs KPIs that track their performance. In a very general sense, the typical NFL KPIs are probably, Pres/CEO - Revenue, profit GM/HC - Wins, perhaps playoff success In a new power structure, what is the main KPI of President of Football Ops? Thats the critical question I would have. I think it's very difficult to create responsibilities and incentives around these roles that make sense and aren't either just title creep or ignore any business component. And due to NFLs inherent interest in anti-tampering and Rooney rules, there is really tight coalescing around the football role responsibilities too. Does this make sense?

    Caveat, there is no such thing as a cool billionaire. Relatively did the heavy lifting okay

    A harrowing reminder that even if you get a relatively cool eccentric billionaire owner, these [expletive] don't know what they're doing.

    I'm not convinced most college coaches are real functioning adults. They just get by on the same type of "leadership traits" that work on naive 18 year olds who allow themselves to get hazed.

    Its literally like an 11 part article. Tough to quickly synopsis, but it probably has about 6+ named people providing quotes (none of them provide anyhting mind breaking, but pretty big names, Fencik, Mannely, Kreutz, Dungy) and several unnamed sources providing background info on Pace and Phillips. [highlight=yellow]Biggest bombshell is Phillips has privately discussed distancing himself from Football Ops fully.[/highlight] I read the highlighted part this morning as well, but dif article. However, I didnt know Dungy was connected to the Bears, at all. How is that so? They got Dungy on record just talking about the Bears org pretty broadly and the current team construction. Like I said it's well sourced so he got lots of Bears outsiders to contribute, though many off the record.

    I paid 1.20 for a 12 week trial and found it worth the 1. 20. It was a deeply sourced article. oh yea? synopsis, please Its literally like an 11 part article.

    Lots of apathy, including from me and no week 15 thread yet. Anyone else read the Wiederer piece today? https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/bears/ct-chicago-bears-fire-matt-nagy-ryan-pace-20211215-guyhqzffxzbi5juq5cgkfftv7m-story.html

    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.
  13. WrigleyField 22
    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.
  18. 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.
  20. WrigleyField 22
    Prob why he punted. Fun onside kick though!
  21. WrigleyField 22
    Would be great if those were Paces and Nagy's walking papers the camera caught George stuffing in an envelope.
  22. WrigleyField 22
    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.
