    I'm gonna laugh if a 5-11 Falcons wins the SB and I don't wanna be the fan of a team that gets laughed at (putting into question my Cubs fandom). At least the 83 win Cardinals had winning records so I can relent on that and just hate the 06 Cardinals cuz of the rivalry. A 5-11 Falcons or even 6-10 would be like the short track speed skater who advances because everyone else wiped out. Yay? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I mean obviously it happened but the WS doesn't take away from them being a crappy team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don't get what your point is? The 2006 Phillies don't recognize the Cardinals championship because their team won more games than them? Just that they were a pathetic team that was even lucky to have the chance to go on that run. Ie "didn't belong there" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    As an example the 2008 Ari Cardinals and 2011 Giants kept no 10 win NFC team out of the playoffs (2008 saw a 11 win Pats held out but also a 8-8 chargers make it in the AFC) so they had decent claims to belonging in the playoff system. The 2006 STL Cardinals kept only one NL team out (and it was very close) but also like 4 significantly better AL teams. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    People tried to discredit the Cardinals back in 2006 when they won the WS even though they had only 83 wins. It didn't work as they didn't care just like every Bears fan if they won it all somehow this year. I hate to repeat myself, but the 2014 Bears winning a SB isn't really what's being talked about because that would involve a team winning a ton of games. Including leading up to a SB run.

That team sucked and had no business even being there just like a 5-7 win NFL team. I get this argument gets used on 9-7 teams as well but, that disparity is on a whole other level from even that. The difference between a win here or there can be quite thin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Even though he has looked better the past two games I'd rather Briggs just sit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It wouldn't take away from the the awesome 4 weeks, but at least part of the fun of sports and winning championships is bragging rights and every non-Bears fan would try to discredit it at every chance That being said a Bears run right now would actually conclude with like 2.5 months of straight winning and an overall 14 win record and at least half those over good teams so that's more than a little different than a hypothetical 5-11 Falcons who literally stumble into the playoffs despite losing for nearly 1.5 straight months.

    I mean Super Bowls are obviously great because it means you won 3-4 straight games, but in the context of defending my team, I'd feel pretty shameful about being the worst SB winner ever, specifically having a losing or 500 overall record. At that point your only option is to troll hard and act like you are actually the greatest SB winner ever for overcoming adversity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My wish is 5-11 and then 9-11 SB champ. Bonus points if any 11-5 teams in the AFC miss the playoffs completely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well SF over Buf cost me a win this week :-/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5-11 assuming Atlanta or the Saints win one more and everyone else loses the rest of their games. Has to be kind of specific due to the divisional games left but everyone has to win to get that 5-11 team. TB beats Car. Car beats NO. TB beats NO. NO beats Atlanta. Atlanta beats Car. Then they all lose their out of division games. Atlanta wins division at 5-11. Make Atl v Car a tie and NO wins with 5-11 record. ETA you can swap Car-Atl, NO-Atl, NO-Car games and it's still a 5-11 Atlanta. So the TB are the key games since they have more "wins to give" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Right now on 2014 or hypothetically possible? 5-11 could win the AFC south (requires a couple TB wins). Hypothetically (with no ties) I think it's 3-13 (where all four teams split all games and I have no idea what the tiebreaker would be). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    We technically don't have any open coaching spots right? Hyde back to the FO?
  15. WrigleyField 22
    Maybe, maybe not, but from a practical standpoint, officially being eliminated from the playoffs and giving up 100 points to two very good offenses is more than a little different.

    you have an interesting idea of fun. I'd rather the Bears win than lose. I have an internal conflict the past two weeks of cheering for my team and liking it but knowing deep down nothing meaningful will come of the wins. what are the chances anything meaningful comes from a loss? sure, they might fire Trestman, which would set the franchise back a couple more years while they rebuild the roster. they might not fire Trestman, and you'll have to suffer through the end of the year, at which they still might not fire Trestman. i say keep praying Trestman gets control of the team and they make a run at the playoffs, winning 5 more winnable games in a row. That would be fun. A new coach should not set a team back years. Any coach is going to come in and use the roster as is. Plus a better draft pick.

    Man this 70 M payroll is gonna suck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    They also seem to have used the extra lineman less this year (until yesterday). That would clearly effect blocking results just based in scheme. I do recall saying that injuries were a clear area that could cause a relapse on the offense this year, though it's definitely only been a partial factor IMO and in no way excuses Trestman this year.

    Okay yea may have been Cartwright. Floyd resigned Dec 24 but I think was kinda forced out. Anyways, holiday firings and media reaction is gold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. WrigleyField 22
    Haha, I remember the backlash when the Bulls fired Scott Skiles on Xmas eve They fired another coach around the holidays too, I can remember if it was Del Negro or Cartwright or someone earlier, but I remember it happening twice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well a Thanksgiving firing would still have been fun so we could watch the media melt down about the Bears being classless or w/e. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oh that's weird didn't realize we have b2b Thursdays. Regarding firing Trestman mid-season, its mainly about securing it early on so I don't have to worry until January about them keeping him. I'd agree there's no practical point in mid season firing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. WrigleyField 22
    I still kinda wish we would have lost yesterday so that we'd unravel against Detroit and put us at 8 losses ahead of a long week - the perfect opportunity to let go of Trestman. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm cringing at the fact that meatballs do love pointing to Orton and he's only slightly behind Cutler statistically. But for every Orton backer there is a McCown backer so it evens out alright. At the end of the day, so much still falls on this staff. Get a new staff. Draft them a developmental QB. Give the current offensive core two more years while continuing to replenish our youth with picks and mid-range FA signings... Things really don't look bad if Emery is ready to move on from Trestman. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don't know about this fictional "developmental" QB, if a QB is there that is an upgrade to Cutler you take him. If not, you dont. Well there won't be a QB guaranteed to be better. In the mid rounds it will be even harder. But we should definitely try. If it doesn't work out well have tons of "option years" on Cutler. I agree, unless you can draft another punter. Gotta run those two punter sets to keep the ST guessing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
