Week 11 // Chicago Bears (3-6) vs. Baltimore Ravens (6-3)
Moderator: wab
I get that the NFL is a high pressured, results driven business. You are only as good as your most recent results. I get it as I also work in a high pressure, results driven industry.
So with that in mind, why do the bears keep doubling down on stupid?
First time GM with no track record? HIRE THAT GUY
First time HC with no track record? HIRE THAT GUY
First time DC with no track record? HIRE THAT GUY
I dunno guys, im just starting to spot a pattern that suggests that maybe, JUST MAYBE, this team should start paying millions to staff that have shown THEY KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE DOING.

In fairness - successful guys don't usually get fired and aren't on the market.GSH wrote: ↑Mon Nov 22, 2021 12:43 am I get that the NFL is a high pressured, results driven business.

Good lord... sorry to hear man, hang in there!Hema2.0 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 6:13 pm What a 4 day stretch. First my friend of 40+ years (we're both 45) tried to end his life, the next day my brother died from Covid, and 2 days later my wife's Aunt passed from covid as well. Fortunately for me I missed the game today putting in an exterior door for my parents, fixing their dirty broken toilet(seriously scrub the shit clean if I'm working on it), working on their broken hot water tank (pilot wont stay lit), and replacing part of the rotted floor near the door. So I've got 2 funerals this week and the Bears still suck, but I dont care right now. Sorry to vent all, but damn my head is spinning.

Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

There were basically 2 things that absolutely killed me about his game. First, why did we not run the ball more? We did that during the first drive and got a scoring chance. By the 2nd quarter, I'm going... run the ball... Run the ball... RUN THE BALL. Nope. And then going for it on 4th and 1 at midfield well into the 4th quarter, up by less than a FG with a QB making his first start who hasn't been very effective. MAKE HIM DRIVE IT ALL THE WAY DOWN THE FIELD instead of letting them in FG range with one first down. (That's what I was screaming at my TV.)
Nagy is a serial optimist. Get him out of here. Please. I'll continue to watch the games. But I can certainly understand why fans would stop. Who needs infuriating frustration in their life every Sunday?
