Love the college champs marching band idea. As to the first point, Goodell has turned football into a circus.

Actually he's the guy they work on by day, but can't fix.

Do you think the team decides before the season to barely miss the playoffs? Should they decide before the season to miss badly? I think we've tried like you know what to make the playoffs every year since 2001. Just hasn't happened. Maybe this year. (or next ).

Danny Carey is what we need INSTEAD of a drum machine.

Drum machines. Drum machines have no soul.

I take it you think he's going to be fired. He just needs to have another of those New Orleans Voo Doo Jazz Funeral Marches and bury the 2015 season, hire a good DC, and then he'll be good again.

They're just going to lip synching anyway. I'll be switching over to Puppy Bowl.

Football is a game of attrition.

Sorry if I insulted your golden goose. Of course he did. He played didn't he? I would also add in the Giants loss and both Pasties** losses. Are you saying he didn't? I'm really not sure what you're asking.

Didn't say he was. Still doesn't make it a dumb decision.

Reminds of the words of the Mount Vernon Philosopher, "If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas". Hotrod also has a hand is us being 5-6 by the way. I like Hotrod and advocated signing him in March last year. But, he is what he is and it ain't a great QB yet by any means. He has a lot of work to do and I'm sure he's on it.

I was only referring to since 2013. While Fitz and Jackson were already on the roster, they were run off since then. Brohm, and Bad Bad Levi Brown pre dated that. As far as who Vaughan is: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/9749/dustin-vaughan Sadly, they don't sell franchise QBs at 7-11.

And sometimes you're just plain dumb. Like when we cut Fred.

So you're good with bringing in a boat person to play RB in the most important game of the season instead of the inactive earlier inthe season Fred? Got it.

He's been working out punching Janay a punching bag.

They're using stick 'em this year or in some other way cheating obviously.

Looked to me like Hotrod had good protection last week but decided to fish hook out and run to the sidelines instead of stepping into the clean pocket in front of him.

Karlos is a walking MASH unit. Hopefully in the off season we sign an RB that's good and can actually suit up on Sundays.

Looks to me like the Bears are pointing up and playing better now than they did at the beginning of the season and are now 5-6 matching their win total for all of 2014. John is the most under rated coach IMHO. He took the Panthers to the SB with Jake Delhomme at QB and lost on a last second FG to the Patsies**. He took the Broncos to the SB and lost to a team with a D that whipped everyone's ass all year. Now he has the Bears pointing in the right direction and still you talk about him as if he were a poor coach that teams this year should avoid experienced coaches like him. I wish we had hired him instead of Rex.

It could be argued that we have been concentrating on it pretty heavily since 2013. Since then we've had a bunch of QBs get a look AND drafted one in the first round after a masterful trade down by Whaley. Tarvaris Jackson Fitz EJ Manuel Jeff Tuel Kevin Kolb Thaddeus Lewis Dennis Dixon Matt Cassell Josh Johnson Vaughan Matt Flynn Tyrod Taylor Kyle Orton Of those 13, 8 are still on NFL rosters and 4 have started NFL games this year. That's an average 4.33 QBs brought in per year. I expect to see Whaley very diligent in the off season to find a really good one someway somehow. May not be successful, but it won't be for a lack of trying.

It's a bogus term anyway. Everyone has their own opinion of what it is (except me because I think it's dumb). Cracks me up that people get so wound around the axle on this one. Matthew Stafford?

Actually we were 2 games over .500 in the games Kyle started. 7-5. We were 2-2 in the ones EJ started. They both did. Doesn't have to be one or the other.

I disagree with this. I don't think the problem is the refs are not in position. Most of the time I see bad calls there is a ref standing right there. Refs really don't have to run that much. They have 7 of them and they are strategically positioned around the field. Soccer is different because they only have one on the field (at least in MLS) so he HAS to run around to see what's going on. I don't think that's the case in football. They're in position, they just make bad calls. The simpler rule book I agree with 100% though.

Could be. I remember when Mike Holmgren was GM/HC for the perennial .500 Seahawks. Then in 2205 he was stripped of GM duties and they went to the Super Bowl. Seems like just coaching would be enough work. When trying to do both, something has to suffer I would think.

Chip Kelly after he gets fired from the Eagles.
