ASHKUM BEAR

And to think we need to pour more resources into our defense going into next year. I didn't expect us to be good this year or as bad as we are. I thought the offense would continue similar production while the Defense would slightly improve. This team is in a rebuild process and I see this taking two more drafts to fill the cupboards.

Unfortunately so. If Trestman is on a 1 more year leash, then what D coordinator will accept a job coming into a "lame" season if they decide to make changes? This is why they are they are a circus show, this is why they cannot hire competent established coaches. This happened in Lovie's tenure and continued into Marc's. The only change I see going into next year is promoting Paul Pasqualoni into DC. I had to chuckle when seeing "Chris Harris - Defensive Quality Control" and wonder what his job entails to be in control of quality?

I agree and have mentioned this after the NE or GB debacle. I have a new thought. Bellichek is Coach/GM of NE. I wonder if he would be interested in becoming President of football ops? He is a mastermind of putting together NE's dynasty as coach/gm, but he is now 62... and may want to get off of thefield and still follow his passion.

I have no disrespect for Lovie, he was a players coach and had a great D when the players were in there prime. He couldn't put together an offense and was terrible in the draft, and yes he had a lot of say in it. He also made bad decisions in managing a game.....challenges/time clock. He did prepare his team well and seemed to keep the team in games if losing. If only it was Lovie DC, Trestman OC and someone like Gruden as HC, then to see were this team would go. I will give Lovie an applause Sunday and I think all the fans will too.

I'll add Todd Haley, Pitt OC. He was on Arz list of coach candidates but wasn't interested. He has revived Big Ben this year. He would be worth a name drop...even though I think he's annoying.

They never seem to be in position to draft a QB, they haven't been able to draft or groom any key positional positions like DE, OLT, or QB. Those are positions that make franchises and we have had to spend or trade premium prices for. Having a awful year might be a blessing, but im sure we would waste it on a player we would try to convert from a S to a DE.

He is an Indiana boy, played for Purdue, and now runs his home state Colts. That will be a tough sell. Money can buy a lot, but not sure it can buy this. I see his brother is director of college scouting for the Arz Cardinals too.

I say no thanks. Would you want him because he coached Cutler before? I think we have catered to Cutler enough. If he screws up, they need to start sitting him.

I believe for the most part that the head coach hires his coaching staff. I wonder if Emery or even Trestman were really our first choices. Emery "had" to keep Lovie year one, and Trestman was to keep Marenelli or the defensive scheme. A real GM or coach wouldn't have accepted those stipulations unless they were desperate to get their foot in the door. This brings me back to the real issue and that is the owners and team president. The Bears will never be taken serious unless the change takes place from the top. I'd rather let these jokers make fools out of themselves until the fans return the favor by hurting their pocket books back. Maybe after enough revenue loss, they will sell or invest properly by unleashing control of managing the organization.

They are already running 15 minutes late. Wonder what is going on? Emery and Trestman don't look like guys that would run late for anything. Is there something significant coming?

Sure they can fire those two, but to right this sinking ship, action has to begin from the top. It makes me sick to think what team hires Emery, makes him keep Lovie. Then Lovie gets fired and they hire Trestman, but make him keep Lovies D and hire a DC that would accept that. I would like to see someone like Parcell's come in and clean house.

I wouldn't even know were to start as the gm of this team. We need about 5 first round picks...smh

I think the McCaskeys need to contact Ted Thompson, Scott Pioli, Bill Polian, or even Bill Parcells to be President and run football operations. Ted Philllips can stay as VP and head of accounting. I would hate to see George McCaskey and Ted Phillips make irrational decisions and put this franchise in a deeper hole. This starts at the top, from allowing the Angelo/Lovie era to leave this team with no youth. To forcing the next head coach to keep Maranneli (who left anyways) or running his defensive scheme. It has been a circus of clowns going back to nearly 1985 with a team that has not prioritized the important keys to being competitive (QB, LOT, DE, CB). When was the last time we drafted a stud QB, LOT, or DE? I hope the owners are embarrassed and decide to make changes and not just a DC or ST coach.

This is true, but we should at least have an offense. No excuses for that.

I think we the fans need to demand through twitter or any avenue a complete house cleaning from Phillips down.

After 6 quarters of football, the Bears finally forced a punt!!! Hope#

Completely embarrassed yet again. I hope they fire everyone if it cost them a couple hundred million so be it. It is useless to keep putting this crap out.

It's a guarantee penalty on our ST unit. Incompetent group and incompetent coach.

When will the fn learn not to return it out of the endzone. GRRRR. Pissed off already

Haha

Dang, you are right. He hasn't been activated. I seen an article about him practicing and got overly excited. But I like the acronym BAM lol.

I am excited that Marquese Wilson will finally suit up and get some action. Now we will get to see our B.A.M. squad in full force.

Let's put down the lemon drops and drop the sour face for a bit and get the game face ready. Bears at Green Bay, we won last trip there. Lets take a page out of that night and bring back that energy. Rodgers took a hit that game and didn't get back up. Mel Tucker better bring some pressure packages because our first match up was a mistake on avoiding sending the blitz.

While we are at it, the 49ers and Falcons are not as good as you might expect either. I watched the Miami game and Tannehill is legit too.

These are men, getting payed to play a game. They need to step up as a team. I'm sure there is a divide from a few that used to lead in the old era. This article is a little late and just a writer trying to bate hits imo.
