  1. "I think for us to be able to come out that first two quarters and and do what we did that's, that was fun," Nagy said. "That's good football. The guys played energized. They they came out and played really good football all three phases complementary and I think they got to see what they can be."   So say Nagy.

    That first half was fun to watch.  And I would love to root for and see every game played that way.  But that is not what the Bears are, nor can be.  It was a one off fluke.  The last 13 and a half games are what the Bears are and will be as long as the four clowns in charge, both in the front office and on the field, are allowed to remain.  8-9 is the best this mang. group will ever achieve together going forward.

    It should but there is a chance it won't. The logical move it fire both, then bring in a new GM to hire a new coach. That is why they need to do it before the 2 week window, so they have enough time to interview and hire a new GM, and that GM can take advantage of the 2 week period for interviews. 

    Otherwise, keeping him after Nagy is gone is wasted time if he is going to also be fired. 

    Then they would have to fire pave after tonight right.  Fire Pace tomorrow hire someone that is at this time free.  lI would think there are a few good options. I also don't see a lot of teams lettings others talk to their coaches with two weeks left.  Most of them are in the hunt you would think

    Am I the only one who likes Jesper Horsted?  I simply think Nagy either doesn't know how to use him or is being too stubborn sticking with Graham.  How is he not a good fit for the role Trey Burton played for us years ago?   I realize part of the issue is the Oline pass protection issues (need to keep better blockers at TE) and Field's learning curve.  I'm not putting Horsted in the Pro Bowl just saying he's a viable chess piece who can exploit defenses in the right situations.  He's an ERFA so I think we keep him around to see what happens with the next coaching staff.

    Baltimore can figure out how to get 3 TEs on the field and still run an effective passing game.  We haven't been able to do this with ARob out for several games and we're stuck watching Damiere Byrd try to get open.  I can't believe Byrd is an asset in the running game more so than Horsted.  

    No.  I'm a big fan of him myself.  But you only have to look at C. Patterson to see how this coaching staff is limited in how they use players and scheme to get the most out of them.  What I don't understand is I believe two coaches on the Falcons who worked with Patterson when he was in Chicago.  Was it Nagy who was so stubborn to not see what Patterson can do and is doing the same with some of the players still on this roster?  I would say yes.

  4. I used to see Big Cat on PFT the last few years.  Enjoyed his humor and his opinions.  Not a big fan of McAfee.  Have not listened to any of Barstool.  Just amazing to me how wide and the amount of context everywhere about the NFL and FF.  At some point there has to be a point of over saturation.  Having said that, if I were a 20-30 something, I would be busting my ass on getting in on the cash cow in any capacity I could.

    I know, I read that, but I just don't see it on the tape. Olin keeps saying "who do you replace him with". Mustipher trains with Olin, so he is too close to the situation to properly evaluate. I constantly see Mustipher getting pushed back into the backfield on runs and pass plays. Most runs up the middle are disrupted by his ass. The QBs have to avoid Mustipher's backside more than any defender. Then you have the snaps into his crotch. He must have short arms and has a hard time wiping because he hits himself with the ball once or twice a game. 

    The assessment reminds me of what McCaskey said about the team last offseason. He named all the things wrong with the team, then said outside of those, we have a great team, lol.

    So outside of being pushed back into the backfield on every play, fumbling the snap a few times a game, Mustipher is a great Center. 

    I have always thought that Olin sticks up for Sam, not just because of them working with each other.  But also because love him, hate him, or anything in between the fact is he was an UDFA and how he made a starting roster in year two in the NFL.s. Even if it was the Bears.  Not going to say what Olin thinks his ceiling is, don't know.  He also talks about how the Bears running game is going.  And that most of those calls must be coming from him that makes it tick.  Again, good for an UDFA.  I happen to believe he is at best a backup and found the only team he would start for.  Time to find a real center going forward, it ain't Sam.

    Most of these issues we know lie at the feet of Nagy and the coaching staff.  I’m not sure we’re really ever to fully evaluate most of the players due it.  

    My point exactly.  It's hard for me to tell who is bad because it's that way throat the whole organization?  Who do you keep or let go?  This guy sucks at his position but is he even being used correctly?  It's a rudderless, hell it doesn't even ave a hem, ship in a fog.  And the ball boys know as much about what is going on then anyone else.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you all ! I enjoy coming here , mostly to read the commentary of my fellow Bears fans.

    Same to all of you.  Those going to be with family for the Holliday I hope you survive and enjoy everyones company.

    There is always a fog around any big organizational changes, in any company.  

    Would it not be fitting for Nagy's tenure as Bears head coach to be the catalyst to bring down the whole house of cards.

    Goes from hated too revered, for changing the entire franchise unknowingly, just like his offense.

    Agreed on all points.  As cliche as it sounds, this team is alot better off than the 3-7 record says.  I'm encouraged by the potential.  

    I hope yo'ur closer to right than wrong.  But we have no idea what this team is with this coaching staff.  As fans I think we see things that aren't there or don't see what is there.  The only thing I'm sure of, is that this whole coaching staff needs to go.  They are the biggest issue and the easiest to hopefully fix.  But the players need to make plays and I have not seen that on a consistent basis.  It's like this year has been played in a fog.  You know there're playing, you know the score, but you can't see the wh, er, reason for anything.

    The Bears went all in for 2018 and got Parkey'd. I don't know if they were thinking about 2022 when they had a chance to trade for him. They have an out after next season if they don't trade him. Injured players are very tough to trade, so if anything, I can see him as a cut/trade candidate after next season.

    I think they made a good decision at the time.  They believed they were in a good position for the next three years and took a shot.  The Rams are doing the same thing this year.  The Bears were wrong and did not have the team they thought they did.  We'll see if the Rams are correct.  It's starting to look like Stafford is who we thought he was.

    I'll have to take a closer look going forward.  

    During that interview with Kreutz he was somewhat cryptic as to why he thinks neither Daniels or Whitehair are playing Center.  The impression I got was they either weren't able or better served playing as Guards.  

    I agree I thought he was saying that neither could call blocking alinements  or protections as well as Mustifer

  12. And the case for Mustifer from Krutz.  He has stood up for him as far out playing his non draft status.  An UDFA working his way up to starting in the NFL at center.  He might not be the answer but your getting a lot for nothing really.  He is exceeding his  non draft position.  And does do some good things in blocking calls for the run game.

    I think they take the entire 3 weeks to evaluate him before putting him on 53-man roster. We have to remember he did not have a training camp. 

    Peace

    What he said.

  14. Great story by Simms on PFT and his interaction with Corrente the ref.   Yelled at him about a roughing the passer non call with a four letter word included.  Normally the refs let the 
    QB know when he is going to start the clock after a stoping it.  Did not for a long time so Simms asked him why.  Corrente said are you going to apologize.

    Can the defense stop the run after the last few weeks of looking like crap. As we seen yesterday, its hard to predict anything in the NFL. Maybe Fields throws for 3 TDs and over 300 yds.(Nah, just dreaming). The only thing I can predict at this stage is a low scoring game, and it will go down to the end of the game. 

    I'm hoping for six TD's from the off.  I need 50 points to claw a win in FF and down to Herbert, Moony and Santos.  Has not been a good year for me.

  16. I also think that perhaps his toe injury from the SB may be more serious.  If anyone has had turf toe or a better comp for most regular folks is gout.  If you have ever suffered from any toe issues you know how it effects even walking.   Or maybe, using a golf analogy, he has the yips, or what ever baseball players get who just can't throw the ball anymore.  Just wondering.
