The bears have quit

[WhiteTrash]

Going for it on 4th-and-11 at midfield with an entire quarter to play certainly is a choice.

Flus has freedom to call any play he wants. If it doesn't work he will blame the players.

Suggestions?

Suggestions?

Go back in time and get a new staff when it made sense - before you drafted Caleb

[MU82]

The "at least they're still playing hard" defense of a coach always seems dopey.

They are professional athletes paid well. "Keep playing hard" is a minimal expectation.

So a complete rebuild?  Including the entire coaching staff?  This is a terrible team.  All smoke and mirrors when they were 4-2.

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

Is McManus the best offensive player on the Packers like Anders previously?

How did you read "complete rebuild" from that post? A new coaching staff is a "complete rebuild"?

Fair enough.  What should be done WT?  Keep in mind the pathetic schedule we've had for 3 years.  This team is absolutely awful offensively and it's because the line is an abomination for starters.

Great call by the coaching staff to leave Caleb in there at the very end. Only way he'll learn toughness is to get the crap kicked out of him multiple times in a blowout with a minute left.

I'm on board with everything you are saying. Flus was given a job by an owner that does not know football. Poles seems okay but I can't understand him avoiding fixing the OL. He's a f'ing O-man himself.

I think they are a decent staff and OL from being competitive; maybe that's why the complete rebuild did not resonate with me.

He's daring Poles to fire him.

McCarthy there for the taking for the McCaskeys

He'd be an upgrade.

At 4-13, could the Bears have the #1 pick trifecta?

I agree with you wholeheartedly.  Ownership has been a prob for quite some time.  But Flus sucks and they need to go another direction imo.

Agree 100%. I do think he has lost respect from the players.

Today was a must win from the respect of proving that the players will still play hard for him. We got the answer.

My guess is that 90% of the McCaskey family would sell in a heartbeat.

Virginia may be 101, but she has the power.

This is the most likely result for
C-Bears fans.

[Herman Cain]

Jags snatched Defeat from the Jaws of victory against Eagles. Lawrence had plenty of time with ball close to the goal to get it in and win it and instead threw an ill advised pass that was easily intercepted. Although to be fair, Jags have only one reliable  receiver presently . 

[jesmu84]

Need a new coaching staff

Need to rebuild the interior of the offensive line

Need to be sellers at the trade deadline - Nate Davis, Keenan Allen, etc

[WhiteTrash]

If the Bears are going to tell Williams not to throw to Kmet, why not trade him for anything you can get?

Another power move by Flus, Stevenson gets to play and Kmet is frozen out. That's how you command respect from your players.

I'm not so sure. For most of them, the Bears is all they've got and what they've built their lives/identities around. They may be willing to sell some minority stakes, but I'd be surprised if the generation below Virginia (led by George) sell a controlling interest.
