When we were complaining about John Fox's run-run-pass-punt offense and thought it couldn't get any worse?

What happened to the QB guru that was gonna turn our offense around? What happened to fixing our OL and getting the QB position right?

My God, that was hard to watch.

Nagy was never a good head coach and cost the chiefs a playoff game before he came to Chicago. Vic Fangio 2018 defense was the key to our 12-4 success while Nagy got all the credit for it "Coach of the Year".

Its time to move on.

We let Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith go. To get better. Does anyone here look at this team and believe that happened? I don't. I used to actually enjoy watching the Bears back then... even the offense was better than this. Right? I fully supported the firing of Angelo/Lovie, and later Emery/Trestman... and then Fox.

But this is bad football.

This is a bad football team.

This is a roster that doesn't have the talent level it needs.

This is a coach that seems in over his head as a head coach.

It's a shame.

"Deer in the headlights" Smith and Johnny the Out-foxed Fox most definitely had to go. We thought anybody could be better. That was our mistake. The McAsskeys and Ted Phillips still running the show is the real mistake. Come on Ginny, do the right thing. For you, the team, the city.

That's a good point too. I'm thinking the Bears don't have the talent to hire the GM and HC we need to turn this franchise around. Angelo/Lovie, Emery/Trestman, Pace/Fox/Nagy... yeah, it's a shame. They have no clue here.

Go back farther. Since Papa Bear and the firing of Finks and Vainisi...

GMs/Directors = Tobin, Graves, Wannstedt, Hatley, Angelo, Emery, Pace.

HCs = Wannstedt, Jauron, Smith, Fox, Trestman, Nagy.

As bad as our list of 853 or so sucky QBs is, these two lists are much worse.

And the OL wasn't great back then by any means. They also didn't have the lvl of O talent that is here now. Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top

Invest in a damn line!

Heck, I remember Jerry Angelo putting together the 2006 Super Bowl team offensive line:

John Tait - Rueben Brown - Olin Kreutz - Roberto Garza - Fred Miller

That was an OL with a 1st team All-Pro, Olin Kreutz, who was on the NFL All-Decade team & 100 greatest Bears of all time.

Pro Bowler Rueben Brown.

John Tait was a 1st round, top-15 of the draft, pick and decent.

Garza was a solid as a rock OL for 14 seasons.

That was a decent OL.

I just remembered Garza a couple of days ago... Nothing fancy or flashy, but man how his pre-retirement C play would lift this interior
