Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Matt Eberflus

Well, barring some miracle where the Bears win out along with teams like the Lions, Seahawks and Cowboys losing out, it will be another season without the playoffs. As every November/December goes with this site, it’s time to look towards the offseason and moves that the Bears should, but probably won’t make. First, credit goes out to Chucky and CS for basically saying the season was over after the first half of the season opener. They must have better eyes than the rest of us do. I had a little bit more optimism (stupid me).

First, the entire coaching staff deserves to be shit canned. I guess I could give Emery a bit of a break since he did bring in some decent picks and the signings he made were pretty good (Young, Allen and Houston). While Willie Young has earned his money, Allen hasn’t been all that great and with Houston being a great signing on paper, we all know how that worked out. But Trestman needs to go. The same stupid decisions continue to be made as far as play-calling and clock management are concerned. Mel Tucker is an obvious decision. Both Trestman and Tucker, every fucking week, tell the media that “we need to get better” and “we need to correct those bad decisions”. Okay. Great. The next time arrives and the same shit is happening. I don’t know about anyone else here, but those guys annoy the fuck out of me.

So who do the Bears get? Well, Emery isn’t going anywhere. Neither is Trestman, whether we like it or not. That leaves Aaron Kromer, Mel Tucker and Joe DeCamillis. Well, I am going to just blame Trestman for the idiotic moves on offense and give Kromer a pass. Tucker and DeCamillis should have been out the door after last year. Emery did as much as he could to fix that defense and it still sucks. All teams have injuries, so that should never be an excuse. Who do they bring in? Well, this may be the meatball in me talking, but fuck it. Rex Ryan is out the door in New York, so why not? He’s a defensive-minded guy who has achieved some success before coming to the Jets. The way I see it, there is nothing to lose. It’s better than bringing in a guy (Mel Tucker) who was a defensive coordinator for one of the worst franchises in the NFL (Jaguars). I am sick and tired of coaching staffs on this franchise that never utilizes their best players (Matt Forte) and puts them in the best position to succeed.

What about the personnel? I feel like a broken record here because I have been saying the same shit the last three or four years. The Bears need an offensive lineman or two. While Cutler isn’t going anywhere (nobody wants him and he is due at least $36 million over the next two years), they absolutely need to draft a quarterback. The Bears need to draft linebackers. The Bears need to draft cornerbacks and safeties who actually know how to cover receivers and not let them run ten yards past them as they head for the end zone. Chris Conte gets hurt every damn game. Tim Jennings sucks. Charles Tillman is all but retired. Likewise for Briggs. Shea McClellin has ran out of opportunities (and positions) to be a difference maker for this team. The defensive line is still great. But that’s not going to matter when the seven other guys on that side of the ball can’t do shit. For the love of God, why can’t the Bears just fucking field a defense that is decent? I am not looking for the ’85 Bears or even the ’06 team. Just put a secondary out there that doesn’t let quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers throw all over the place to wide open receivers. Put a secondary out there that doesn’t let Calvin Johnson or some bum wide receiver on a shitty team run past them for a 30-yard touchdown.

Changes need to be made. And that starts at the top with the McCaskey’s and Ted Phillips. It has nothing to do with spending money. They spend plenty of money and they have done so in the past. They just haven’t spent it wisely. They also haven’t picked management wisely either. I don’t know how this will get fixed but I am praying it does soon. I am fucking annoyed with this entire franchise. I know I am not the only one that’s pissed off. I am sure a lot of you who are reading this feel the same damn way. There are so many other things that piss me off about this team but this is just a sample size of what chaps my ass.
