It’s because it’s the way they’ve always done things, and there’s no strong voice in the room to change it.

Their mentality towards everything they do will never change as long as the family owns the team.

Best thing the Packers did in 1991 was hire Ron Wolf shortly after Thanksgiving to give him the final month to evaluate the entire organization and how it operates.

The problem is that the family dominates the BoD, I think Kenney and Ryan may be the only non-family on the board.

The team needs to do what GB did back in the early 90's. Clean House and bring in a football guy - ala Ron Wolf - to take over complete control of the football side. McCaskey needs to go back to the BoD only and Phillips, Pace, and Nagy need to be shown the door.

FWIW, Hub Arkush, who is pretty tuned in to the Bears although homer-ish at times, thinks there is at best a 50% chance that Pace and Nagy will be gone after the season. But then, he thought Jimmy Graham was a good signing for the Bears. :-\

When Hub bashes the bears, it's gotten extremely bad.

Dan Wetzel pimping Pat Fitzgerald for the Bears job.
That would be a mistake for both sides, IMO.

Fitz gets pumped for NFL jobs every year and turns them down. Considering him being an alumnus of NW and his closeness to Randy Walker who tragically died and Fitz succeeded him, I doubt he'd leave. Plus, NW has actually made a substantial investment into football.

No, he was not bashing the Bears today - at least not the management team. That might be even worse than if he would have gone after them.

I listened to him postgame yesterday and today with Bernstein. I still feel like Hub’s a McCaskey apologist.

I listened to Bernstein as well and got the same impression. That’s a change as until the last month or so, he had been pretty even-handed.

Except the guy who pays his salary at NU also is an owner of the Bears.

Also Kaplan reporting that Phillips will (may) retire at the end of the year.

Good company.

With 10 catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday, Davante Adams matched Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Marvin Harrison and Jerry Rice as the only receivers in the Super Bowl era with 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns in their first 10 games of the season.

And he missed two games. Don’t remember if he missed any of the Lions game, which is the game he got hurt in. 3 catches on 3 targets that game.

They aren't counting the games he missed; it is just the 1st 10 games he played - which are actually 9 1/2 because he missed half the Lions game.

The weirdest weekend in football continues. WFT is about to beat the undefeated Steelers, in Pittsburgh, after being down double digits. Steelers offense looks almost as bad as the Bears

Washington has a very good defense.  Steelers have given up trying to run, so Washington has been able to play pass

Roethlisberger makes some terrible decisions. That sidearm sling on 3rd down late to Smith-Schuster didn’t have a prayer, and then throwing to your third back on the depth chart on 4th and 1. To be fair, his receivers dropped way too many catches tonight as well.

I feel like a core tenant of both BR’s game, and the Steelers offense, is those quick soft/floated throws that rely on both surprise and guts from him to make. When he’s off, or the WRs are off, or the run game is non existent like tonight, it can look positively awful

As a huge fan of the early 70s Dolphins, I always enjoy it when the last unbeaten team takes a loss.

Long live Larry Csonka, Manny Fernandez, Paul Warfield and the rest of the only unbeaten, untied, championship team in NFL history!

Harbaugh!


I kind of think the bloom is a little bit off that rose.  But maybe he's better suited for the NFL than for college because I don't really think he like recruiting.

And part of my concern would be that he would want more control than his track record warrants.

Funny thing is, if the Steelers were 'ranking' their remaining opponents before last night, the 'Football Team' would have been one of the least likely to upset them. Buffalo, Cleveland and Indy looked like far bigger risks.

Shows that when you have that target on your back, you need to show up every game....

So Dez has a positive test so they pulled him off the field pregame. The NFL says that they did contact tracing and no one else is impacted.

The Fox guys were dumbfounded. Curt asked Jimmy how that could be, and the response was “I don’t know. Who am I? Dr. Fauci?”
