That dude is giving MWittman a run for his money as far as length goes. 😂
Bears
- Thread starter Wassup13
- Start date
One thing the new GM is walking into is a less than ideal draft situation this year due to Ryan Pace trading away his picks. They only have five picks in the following rounds 2, 3, 5, 5 & 6. Next year they will have one pick in all 7 rounds.
True and untrue. Marc Trestman was a Pro Football Head Coach in the Canadian Football League before being hired by the Bears. NFL head coaching experience?? Uhhh, no!
It just illustrates the difference in ownership/organizational acumen and perhaps just luck...the last 3 Steeler head coaches were coordinators without a HC stint on their resume.
That’s a little too much personal information, don’t you think?
It's mindblowing to me, that I'm getting way too close to being 50, and the Steelers have had a head coach search twice in my lifetime. There are 53? year olds that can say the same thing.....
I agree with a portion of what you say but disagree with some other things you say. I have been involved in the hiring process for 40 years along with managing staff from entry level team leads up to COO positions. My career has been mostly Operations. The bottom line Nagy coached the Bears 3 years and he asked a question about how he should do his job. He wants to get his assistant coaches opinion fine. You don’t ask the owner? We differ on this point.
Just giving you crap.
I didn't bother to check, but I think Trestman, after leaving the Bears, went to the Ravens as an OC. Then right back to the CFL where he won another championship. Not sure what that means, but....It means he's a great coach for an inferior product of football.Just giving you crap.
I think in baseball he would be called a AAAA player. Somewhere in between the level of an MLB and AAA player.
Wait, what???
Are we talking about the same Jim Harbaugh? Do you have him confused with John Harbaugh?
Maybe splitting hairs here, but George Halas stopped coaching and came back later, so not entirely accurate.
No
He’s very unique but would not consider him “rah rah”.
Satellite camps, spring ball in Rome, taking his shirt off at practice, sleeping on a recruits floor….all very different but wouldn’t say they are rah rah.
Phil Jackson would be another comparison. Very outside the box but not rah rah.
What’s rah rah about Harbaugh?
Yeah, that's a little different. I mean...he owned the team. So I am sure he used his experience to hire himself again. Maybe he gave himself a bigger paycheck since he came in the second time with experience. But Halas coached. Then stopped...then came back...and stopped...and came back...and stopped...then came back...and then stopped. Geez, talk about a head-spinner.
Bears players makes it clear who they want as next GM
Chicago has an intriguing list of candidates for general manager. But there's one who Bears players are rallying around.
sports.yahoo.com
Sounds like the players want to promote the GM from within.
What's rah rah about Harbaugh?
I think the whole, "who's got it better than us?" qualifies as rah rah for me. Im not necessarily against rah rah or disagree that he's different. But I do have to say its a bit rah rah.

You would think. The Packers are $44m over the cap next season. Can’t sign him and Adams and have much left on the roster. Could see him in Denver or Vegas
He has 1 year left on deal, I know he wants an extension but he is signed for next season. If they gave him an extension they could easily figure out the 2022 cap hit. Beyond that who knows.
now whether he wants to go back to GB is another question.

Is Matt LaFleur of today in similar situation to Tampa Bay era Tony Dungy...does GB need a "Point B to Point C" change at Head Coach?
Funny how that works. You have consistent losing seasons and it’s time for a new coach. You have consistent winning seasons but is time for a new coach because you can’t advance in the playoffs? Dammed if you do and damned if you don’t. Winning it all ain’t that easy right? 36 years ago…

Packer special teams god awful all year. He either coached it or allowed it to happen
I don’t disagree. It’s just strange questioning a coach’s future when they’re winning. Tough business to be in.
This game a was a lot more than their poor special teams. Rodgers only targeted Jones and Adams. 1 target to Lazard none to any other wide out. When GB was at their best Rodgers spread it around and Lazard was huge for them the last month of the season.
Rodgers wasn’t terrible by any means but in the second half he engineered and offense that totaled 53 yards.
Absolutely. That's how it is when it's only 1 of 32 of that job in the world though
GB has had HOF QBs for 30 straight years(give or take a few injury years) and 2 SB Champions….kinda nuts if you think about it.
If only HOF QB equated to Super Bowl champion. Ask Dan Marino. And the Bears certainly didn’t win because of McMahon. I think too much emphasis is put on the QB. It’s all about total package and the planets being aligned.
You may be right, too much emphasis being put on the QB. But the overwhelming, overwhelming number of Super Bowls won, have been won by HOF and future HOF QBs. The chances of a team even getting to the SB is decreased significantly if the QB is average.
What a weekend of NFL playoff football. By far the best weekend of games ever. I watched all four and gave up on none of them, although the Rams Bucs game had me close to changing the channel.
But one thing that really bothers me is the stubbornness of the NFL to keep the silly OT rule. You lose the coin flip you can lose the game and not even touch the ball on offense. And in the BUF, KC game it was pretty obvious KC would win the game after winning the coin toss. It got to the point where neither defense could stop neither offense. I think BUF deserved a chance to at least answer KC's TD.
In no other of the four major sports does this kind of silliness occur. We all know if a basketball game goes to OT an extra period is started and the clock runs all the way down before a winner emerges. Both teams will get the ball with a chance to score. In baseball, extra innings gives both teams a chance to bat. In hockey, the first goal wins, but both teams have the chance to possess the puck.
Why does the NFL continue this nonsense?

Yeah that does suck. It becomes reliant on a flip of the coin. Weak, especially since all of these players busted their asses for an entire game to end a season that way.
I think the hold up to allowing teams a chance to match the score has been that they don't want the games going too long because of injuries/entertainment.
My solution(for use in the postseason only) would be to allow both teams a possession, but require they go for two if they score a td. Two point tries are very close to a 50/50 coin toss, but its decided by skill rather than luck. If they are still tied, next score of any kind wins.

It's professional sports. They get paid to stop the other team. Buffalo knew the rules going into the game.
I really hope those of you who want to see OT changed to both teams getting the ball are not the ones who rail against 10 year olds getting participation trophies, or 4-5 teams making the IHSA Playoffs. Because that inconsistency would be embarrassing.

I’m saying why change the rules for the postseason? Give the teams that earned their way there a chance. I’m sure Bears fans would have a different opinion if they lost that way in the playoffs. Whenever that is LOL.
I admit that my first reaction was the same as your post. Buffalo lost because they had a defensive collapse in the final 13 seconds of regular time and then again in OT.
That said, from purely an entertainment perspective, I am intrigued by the idea of allowing both teams to possess the ball at least once no matter what during OT. That game was so fun to watch, I didn't want it to end.
That was the best football weekend ever and I didn’t even have a team in the playoffs. It’s amazing that everyone of the teams have a great QBs . I think the weakest QB is Jimmy G. I mean their is some really good young guns. Mahomes, Allen, Burrow. Fun to watch these guys.
This was a great - and completely wild - nfl playoff weekend.
Joe Burrow was sacked 9 times and won. Only 1 other qb was sacked 8+ in w playoff game and won (mcnabb).
Jimmy G has thrown for 300 yards total amd 0 TDs in 2 games.. and won both!
Mahomes - simply put the escapability he showed yesterday was something I’ve never seen in my life. He knew every step, every twirl, every move to make to effortlessly shake away the opposing pass rush.
Not to mention the show allen and mahomes put on. Very fun for fans… and some great defense too!
