Forget all that happened today in this game that was good and bad UNTIL the last drive of the game.

Trubisky leads them down. 48 seconds or whatever left. First down.

Why take a knee? Why not get more yards and in the middle of the field rather than at an angle for a field goal?

Instead, Nagy waves the white flag and as expected, Piniero misses it (his second on the day).

My stomach turned. We saw this way too many times with Lovie Smith. The place smells like garbage.

MATT. NAGY. IS. AN. IDIOT.

Hey Genre, or Fro…..I think we need a Cubs post, asap. We have a real serious problem on our hands, I’m afraid.

I’m giving David Ross a pass until he actually screws up significantly. Joe Espada was probably the best choice but lets see what Ross does.

***************************

chucky, thank you for the gentle prod…I’m buried with work. Like Dave, I’ll give Ross a pass for now. I expected Espada to be hired when they brought him back for 2nd interview.

Ernie, what do you make of this?

First half of the game; two different drives

2nd and 2: Pass for an incompletion. Next play, pass for an incompletion. Punt.

Later in the half: 2nd and 2 (again) for an incompletion. Next play, pass for an incompletion. Punt.

Does someone who’s not an idiot pass the ball on a 2nd and short and likewise for the next play?

“I’m not an idiot.”

YES. YOU. ARE.

2nd and 2? PASS FOR INCOMPLETE. 3rd and 2? PASS FOR INCOMPLETE?

That happened on two different drives in the first half for the Bears.

JUST. RUN. THE. BALL.

Prince Amukafuckwad gave up a deep ball to the Saints at the start of the third quarter. So much for the “great” defense. They couldn’t stop a nosebleed and if it weren’t for two missed field goals, the Bears would be down three touchdowns.

Matt Nagy is a fucking fraud. I don’t know why myself and a few others are the only ones who see this? Fuck.

It’s time for George McCaskey to wake up from his wet dream and can Ted Phillips, Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy. Bring in a general manager who actually knows how to draft players and develop them. Bring in a head coach who has the common sense to call for a run play on 2nd and 2 rather than pass it all the time resulting in a punt.

I’m fucking sick of this shit. Barring any miracle after this posting, the Bears will be 3-3. With how many teams are in front of them for the Wild Card spots, there is no fucking way they are going 8-2. I already said 11 wins will be needed to get in. It’s looking a lot more like that’s what it will take after this week.

Fuck this.

Well, the bye week has come and gone. The Bears didn’t get much help from teams they needed to lose. I am typing this after the Packers beat the Lions. It appears that barring an unforeseen collapse, the Packers have the division. That leaves the Wild Card as the only way in.

The Bears did this to themselves. They lost to the Raiders in which they didn’t show up for the first half nor in the last few minutes. They had no chance on Opening Night against the Packers. And they aren’t getting much help from other teams either. At 3-2 and a stacked conference, 11 wins is probably going to be needed to come in.

I can just think of seven years ago when the Bears finished 10-6 and missed the playoffs. There were at least two games that they completely shit themselves in.

I highly doubt the Bears can do this due to their piss-poor excuse of a head coach and defense that always seems to falter in crucial moments of games (last few minutes of losses the last two seasons?).

Your thoughts in the thread.

Remember last year in Miami? See a pattern here?

I’m tired of it. I’m tired of the defense showing that they can’t stop a nosebleed against any team that’s considered “decent.” For crying out loud, they almost blew a 28-0 lead against one of the worst teams in the NFL.

I’m tired of the stupid penalties that give other teams chances to win the game. I’m tired of Matt Nagy getting rid of actually good players that can help them win games (Jordan Howard). I’m tired of watching shitty quarterbacks.

No excuses. As far as that running into the kicker penalty, which was a shitty call, fine. But that defense had 70 yards to defend after that and they didn’t get the job done.

Even after all of that, the Bears were right there in a position to win and they didn’t come through. And here we are again praying for teams in the division to lose their games in order for this team to have a chance at the playoffs. It’s no longer “early.” It’s time to win now and this team isn’t doing it.

Bye week is next. The Saints are up in two weeks. Lord help us all.

Well…….I, for one am disappointed that Joe won’t return in 2020. He was the perfect manager for the Cubs when hired, and the 2016 World Series Championship proves it. I suspect that he was ready to move on, and wish him the best moving forward.

I’ll write more later….in the meantime, I know my frendt Ernie is happy that Maddon is gone…what about the rest of youse?

…waiting to see who the next Cubs manager will be….tick tock.
