I wish we would have fire McDummy and hired Johnson like I suggested last year 

 

We would be so much better off . 
 

Ben J is a stud play caller 

 

But it's not realistic to think that Pegula would fire McDermott after a 13-4 season.

I believe the Bears are the youngest team in the league. 

Well edmunds at age 13 skews the number a bit

I’m happy for Chicagoans as they’ve been in the desert probably longer than we were for our 17 years.  It was not good timing for us on Ben Johnson.  McD can’t win that much for half a decade and fire him.  It would be disastrous for Pegula if it backfired.  He already blew Wrex and the Sabres perpetually for 15 years. I see his reticence to make drastic hangers to a division winner for 5 years, and if we make it 8 out of 9 years.

In the last 20 years, Bears have been to one SuperBowl, conference championship, and a few playoffs.

 

Our 17 years was way worse.

 

This is the 40th Anniversary of their SBXX win... 

 

Bills desert 🏜 worse.  Way worse.

Yeah - Josh (and the offense) really screwed us last year by never turning the ball over.  Johnson was the perfect candidate and we missed out 

it’s not December yet, so McD still has time to get things right, but the odds are looking stacked against him considering the current health of this roster and lack of a passing game

I really don’t think Ben Johnson would’ve chosen us over the bears tbh.  Up against the cap with one pass catching weapon that’s often injured, a qb on a huge deal, late in the draft order, etc is a tough starting point 

 

even if he/the new gm decided to go all in on offense I’m not sure how much they could’ve realistically done here

Absolutely crazy take

 

This would be destination #1 if the spot was available. Team's been ready to win the SB for half a decade now

Exactly. You can shed money and bad contracts or players who aren’t performing well. Can’t get a likely HoF QB.

My man you are next-level deep in the Bargaining stage here. No coach looking for a job is going to turn down the MVP under center.

Yeah, but no one - not even the Browns or the Jets, and certainly not the Bills - suffered through a QB hell like the Bears.

Grossman got them to SB and 13-3 record... 

 

Yeah... Chicago in 123 years has never had a 30 TD season passer... NOT even Sid Luckman... And probably NOT Caleb Williams this year.  Still been to 2 SB's & won one.
