I don't think the article is particularly well written. Some contributors here could do better and have. But frankly everything he said is correct. The problem is the issues with this team are so deeply imbedded now it could be years before we see any major improvement. I really don't see the Bears eating big contracts and cutting people loose. I don't see this organization cutting the head coach after only two seasons. Not just because of money but because it isn't "nice" and they want to be seen as nice guys. But they're finishing last being nice guys. We need a real bastard to run this team, it appears.

Browns are in first place.

I think I already said this in a thread two weeks ago but I've never seen a team like this. You could always count on defense and our running game showing up. Under Lovie our ST's was always solid as well. If our #1 RB got hurt, we suffered in the running game... But this team is healthy on O. And this team is fielding the guys they intended to field, for the most part, on D. Trestman should resign. Tucker and DeCamillis should be fired. Promote from within for interim coaches and then clean house in the off season. Emery... Hell, I'd fire him too after this mess. Problem is, the ownership of this team will just pick worse replacements. They need to sell the team. If the city can play any role in that, via contracts at the stadium or whatever, Rahm needs to step up the pressure! I was fed up after the Pats game. Imagine how I feel now losing to the Packers like this. I assumed we'd lose by 21 and that was going to be BAD ENOUGH. Guys, we could've lost last night by 70. Easily. This is the worst bunch of coaches and player talent I've ever seen in 50 gad damn years.

Yep, your glass is obviously half full. LOL

Eat shit.

Well played.

God damn, they suck at everything. I'll bet if given the chance they'd start an internet war against the wrong ISP, torture people's pages, freak up a DDOS attack so badly that the city of New Orleans would be struggling to login... Etc. etc. etc. Fire everyone. The Halas clan should sell the damn team so we can get someone at the top running things that understands how this is done. It wasn't until Dollar Bill died that the Blackhawks stepped it up under Rocky. Maybe we need Virginia to kick the bucket before this gets better? Oh, and GO BLUE!!!! Get your veto pen ready buddy, you're going to need it for two years! PS. If this thread is deleted and Terra's isn't, I'm outta here for good.

Since when are political statements allowed on this site directly in the title of threads? I've seen entire threads closed over more minor comments within the threads. Terra, you're an spatula.

Amen on that. This shouldn't be some sort of revelation at this point.

I think he just needs to lose his shit and punch a locker or two.

I, unfortunately, was playing racquetball (anyone remember that?) during that game and only caught a few minutes of it. I F'in hate GB too.

Not sure if "most" is even correct. Certainly should get his share as the leader of the offense. Whatever, as I said in another thread, this just plain blows. We had the right to expect better this season.

I'm not really sour on Emery yet. Think his first draft was darn close to a bust though. One player doesn't do it for me. But his FA picks have made sense even if they didn't all pan out. My biggest reservations at this point are on Trestman. And since Emery hired him, we'll have to see what happens. They're married as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks Mr. Optimism! Sadly I can't say I disagree much.

Dude will always have my admiration for that one play. Always...

I'll be happy if they break some of Rodger's bones. Don't care which ones.

I love the Bears. Been a fan for most of my 50 years on this planet. Seen it all, basically. Went through worse periods than this for sure. Times when we only had one player worth watching. And I will say I've never seen an offense on the Bears like this one. Capable of great things. But I'm also incredibly disappointed. I never thought this team was a sure thing. I never thought they were destined for the Superbowl. But to have a team that consistently disappoints, losing to teams they should beat, getting blown out in games they should be competitive in; blowing big leads... it gets to you. The one thing you could count on with Lovie, Ditka and maybe even Wanny... They were going to slow the game down to a pace where it might be boring as hell to watch but they'd find a way to stay in it. Sure, they all made mistakes but Trestman seems not to be ready for this job. It's a short time to judge him on but I'm damn close to saying he's a bust. Emery maybe should've hired him as OC, I just don't see him having the leadership skills to be "THE GUY". I hope I'm proven wrong. Cutler isn't the only reason this team sucks. He's a tool. I dislike him. I'm starting to think some on the team may feel the same way. Depends on who you want to believe, I suppose. Anyway, I'm not going to get depressed about this. Won't let a football team make or break my day on Sunday anymore. There were times when I was a younger man a Bears loss would bum me out all damn week. I've got bigger and better things to keep busy... But this sucks. This really sucks.

Being blown out AND he knew that exact move had already injured the stupid Lion! Fool me once...

Yep.

I don't think there's any doubt Cutler possesses the "tools" to be the better QB. So there's no error in your ways. Or mine. The unfortunate truth is, however, he may not possess the leadership qualities the teams needs in it's QB. We should be seeing more from him by now. The excuses on offense are gone. They need to produce.

That's why the games aren't played on paper, as they say. I'm not giving up. Obviously things don't look good right now. It's likely the pessimists are right. But freak it, I'm going to hope for the best until it's no longer sane to do so.

I think they should give him a few series at the end of games that are decided, one way or another. Experience like that can only help if/when he's needed. Ditka used to give the #2 some time out there. But no, Jay is clearly "the man" until his contract is up.

By the way, not that there's much positive to say about the game, but McClellin didn't blow a coverage. Per the announcers the Bears were in zone and the safety or corner didn't cover the area behind the linebacker. And McClellin fell down. Which everyone else seemed to be doing, particularly the Dolphins. So... Not often I'll defend Shea but in this case, there's reason to.

Over? Did you say OVER?!!!! NOTHING IS OVER UNTIL WE DECIDE IT IS!!! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO!!! AND IT AIN'T OVER NOW!!!!
