Good summary. I saw pictures from the press conference and Ted was definitely there sitting next to George. I have no issues with that as he is still part of the organization. I'm glad they did not include him in the actual press conference. As George said, this is his show now. He needs to own it. Peace

Payton is still under contract. The Bears would have to give up something for him. Peace

All I want is for Poles to pick his head coach. He is the GM. He is responsible for the football side of the Bears organization according to George. The new head coach needs to be hired by Poles. Peace

Nagy and Pace were fired two weeks ago today. I don't trust George or Ted but am waiting to see how this plays out. I am betting a GM and head coach are in place by the end of the week. The only person hired so far is the new GM for the Giants. Peace

All of this 100%. Peace

Robbie has never missed a kick in the playoffs - 20 field goals and 32 extra points. Robbie is money. Peace

i don't think Harbaugh is coming. A coach just left ND to come and work for him. I think he is leveraging for a raise at Michigan. Peace

Removing Ted from the equation going forward (after the hiring of the new GM and coach) is a good firs step. However, the larger problem remains that George remains at the top and the GM reports directly to him. Nothing will change until the Bears organization finally hires a competent Chairman - someone who is not part of the family. Peace

I agree that George handled the Olin situation poorly. He should have just said he wasn't going to comment . That being said, Olin was offered the standard contract they offer anyone who they are considering to assist the coaching staff with training camp. It's not if they lowballed him compared to someone else. Peace

In my 3rd year of season tickets, I found out my seats were in the drip line of the stadium and we would get soaked whenever there was an ice melt. I spoke personally with George and he moved my seats to multiple different locations for the rest of the season with the promise we would discuss a new seat location after the season. The season ended and I did not hear from him. I received my seat invoice and it was the last seat assignment for the year. I called George and he reminded him of his promise and he said I hadn't had season tickets long enough to me warrant getting a choice. I could either stay where I was or move to the 400 level. Peace

Yeah, that was almost worse than last year. The only difference is they fired Nagy and Pace. Further, the admonishing the high schoolers at Cary Grove High School was completely ridiculous and unnecessary. I had a personal interaction with George with regards to my season tickets years ago. He was a douche then and remains a douche. Peace

Goldman was called out by his position coach a couple weeks ago. https://heavy.com/sports/chicago-bears/chris-rumph-calls-out-eddie-goldman/ Peace

This. I dislike both players but recognize they are outstanding. Peace

Agreed. He should have played the vast majority of the game. Also, Graham only got 4 snaps (Vildor and Burns got the majority). Simply ridiculous. Peace

Bears donated 25k. Nagy donated 7.6 K to match Tevin Jenkins # (JD predicted the Bears would draft him). Peace

Life can be cruel. JD was fantastic. My thoughts and prayers go to his Parker and his family. Rest in peace, JD. Peace https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32953502/jeff-dickerson-espn-chicago-bears-reporter-dies-age-44

I'm not going to judge him until he goes through a full training camp as the #1 with a new coaching staff. Peace

My understanding is you can have a 2-hour get-to-know-you Zoom interview if the other team gives permission. Really, it's not a big deal. Just keep Nagy on until the end of the year and blow him up on Black Monday. The bigger issue is who is going to be doing the interviews and hiring? You can't really move forward on a new coach until you know that. Peace

Agreed. However, players and coaches play to win. We can't change that. Peace

Fields injured his ankle in the Minny game and didn't practice this week. Dalton may not be healed from his injury. At this point, I do not care. I just want the season to end and change to come. Peace

If Nagy is the coach the rest of the season. I agree with Wanny, who said last night you can fire Matt Nagy but what is your plan to replace him and who will be executing that plan. Who is going to be hiring the next head coach? Do you want George and Ted to do that? Ryan Pace? Figure out the plan at the upper level management and then move forward. Peace

I read the article yesterday. Great summary. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My opinion continues to be hire a director of football operations and let him decide what to do with Pace and Nagy. Focus Phillips on the new stadium until he retires. Peace

He's a 2 or 3 but that's fine for a 5th round pick. Give Dazz some playing time before the end of the season to see what he can do along with Thomas Graham. Peace

i would love for them to hire Dave Toub as the new head coach. He's been an outstanding special teams coach for years and should have been Lovie's replacement.This is predicated, however, on them hiring a Director of Football Operations (my choice is Trace Armstrong) and a new GM. Peace

Don't draft a center. Move Daniels to center and have Bars play right guard. WR/CB with the 1st 2 picks in any order. Peace
