DABEARSDABOMB

In hindsight - Nagy was probably a pretty good head coach. He made playoffs twice in his 4 year run with Trubisky who was clearly not that good. If you have him Caleb I think he would have crushed it.

I think if they shore up the interior and make it a strength - than Jones plays up. He is a good, not great LT. Build a strong interior and Wright and Jones ends up a pretty good tackle combo (imo). This could allow you to go dline and than take 2 guards in 2nd round.

Brown is interim head coach. I want him focused on offense but it is clear he is the coach the players trust and believe in so I get it from that logic.

1000 percent Flus is most singular at fault there.

Now to see who interim is.

Caleb should learn from this too. A vet qb does better there - so it is a good learning lesson for Caleb too. I mean once you know it is the final play call the damn time out. Under all scenarios the stupidest was too literally leave a time out in your pocket.

By the way - the fact they have no interim candidates is an indictment on Flus and Poles for how thin their staff really was too.

Honestly right now I think with better and more consistent interior play Wright and Jones work. So if a stud LT is there grab him…otherwise focus on building a massive interior and if you do that I think Wright reaches his high potential and Jones plays up to being pretty good in that scenario.

I think the problem they have is they don’t have any good interim candidates other than Brown and it would be foolish to put more on Browns plate right now given the importance of Caleb. The only thing I could see making sense is bringing in an outside interim guy who knew he was just an interim guy. Only Lovie comes to mind in that scenario. That or if they want to go Belicheck you hand keys to him now (but that would be highly unusual). I think at this point I would be a big fan of Beli and Vrabel together. Right now Vrabel is tops at my list cause he know he won’t put up with bullshit and he knows what it takes. He also has had some good offensive coaches despite being a defensive guy and I think he is just a fit in Chicago’s culture (not Bears..more the city).

To your point - he would normally have his press conference tomorrow morning. I would expect they would fire him before that press conference cause rolling him out to media tomorrow and axing him a day later would just be downright mean.

Trestman was the only one worse - what he did to the locker room and culture was something else, but I think at this point keeping Flus may start to do that. Crappy part is Flus coaching staff is pretty weak - probably cause he was scared of having good interim candidates. Maybe just turn it to Washington and let Hoke call the defense (or vice versa?).

I think I am the curse. I moved into our townhome back when they hired Trestman and as our family expanded we basically had 2 playoffs in this house and a ton of turd coaches. In 2 weeks (maybe even by next weeks game) my wife and I move to a slightly bigger house as our family has grown…maybe that house will bring home lots of super bowls hahah. All sports teams stunk - but otherwise house was good to us haha. Hopefully next one brings good health and good luck to our family and our sports teams!!!

Any free agent stud olinemen? Cause I’m also fine using some cap space and a high pick. Could be fine with pass rushing stud with 1st pick, sign stud in free agency and draft two interior olinemen with either both 2nd rounders or one 2nd and a 3rd. Maybe draft one more dlinemen with the other pick. Bears should have cap space next year so can make one big free agent signing.

More and more stuff coming out from best writers…sounds like a lot of smoke here (no surprise given that ending and the press conference that followed).

I agree - I expect they will use 2 of first 3 picks on oline and the other on dline. They also have cap space so can correct that with free agent money. And I also agree if you don’t like who is there at top of draft, move down and take a stud guard and than take a stud center.

I just read his post game quotes - he was defending that operation. That is it - he defended his stupidity against Washington and is doing same here. They absolutely have to fire him tonight / tomorrow. You can’t let someone get out there and defend that shit - that will create all kinds of toxicity. Go to Hoke or Hightower (they don’t have any good candidate - other than I’m not giving it to Brown - let him focus on offense).

Yeah I think depending on tone in locker, they need to really consider it. And I have been one who said just wait until the end. I would not hand it to Brown - he had to focus all his energy on Caleb and the offense.

Absolutely. Brain dead is an understatement. Once the qb got killed on what was an awful play (I don’t even know what the hell that play was), once they say things headed south - call your timeout and realize you are now playing for a shorter field goal. Reset for 3rd down play and now you either go sideline or middle field with a quick spike to end. Caleb got killed on the previous play and guys were everywhere (Romo said it was a draw play - which it might have been, but Caleb looked like he was passing - yet no one blocked - it was awful).

Absolutely. You call time out and reset once you hit 10 seconds.

I’ll say it right now - Bears are a good coach and draft away but things can go sideways. I just know one thing - I don’t need a hard ass head coach but I need someone who is a natural born leader. Vrabel or Belicheck on defense is fine as those head coaches go…even the Lions DC is intriguing. I don’t know enough about Lions OC…Campbell has so much swag I’d be worried their OC is more Waldron than Campbell. If Miami ditched their head coach he could be an interesting option. Total nerd but he is a great offensive mind….goes against my leader thing but he must be - his players love him. Vrabel is pretty much top on my list.

Short week and road game in this situation. He is in a big hole. Brown has to think big picture here. Maybe Bears should just hand things to Belicheck and Vrabel now lol. Set the culture now.

Lions are really freaking good. Bears are also such a bad match up for them with their porous run defense.

It’s why I want to destroy the lions so badly today. Would be awesome to see Caleb have like a 5 TD win over best team in football!!!

Defense will be fine - need an early round dlinemen and maybe a vet free agent signing. I’d stick to drafting another dub/safety as well…but I’m confident d will reset in the offseason and get back with some swagger.

The Bears are 10 point dogs - they have lost 5 in a row and are playing the hottest team in football. Under zero scenario should they be favored or near favored. Do I hope they win - hell yes I do, but the Lions are the best team in football right now.
