Bears Fire Luke Getsy

Is it really? Were you really expecting anything differently? Especially after reaching what many of us thought would be the win total? I'm not the least bit shocked or surprised, nor am I feeling "defeated".

Actually, I think there are a couple in that larger list (including the other two I found while looking around).  Whether or not they are interested in the Bears (or Flus) might be a different story.

This is an interesting observation. I predicted between 7-9 wins I believe. I'm wildly optimistic most of the time. I'd say that as far as wins go, the objectives were hit. I did think a wildcard run was in the stars and if i squint, well...they were until the last two games. 

But, it feels "defeating" because so much (IMO) was left on the table (3 wins and 2 games where the Bears looked totally unprepared) that my sense of.....homerism...demands answers. 

I'm not surprised that Flus stayed and Getsy was fired. I expected it. But my little homer inside is not happy. He's not happy Bob.

I went back and looked at my own predictions for wins this past season.  Initially I had it at 5 or 6 wins.  Later I upped it to 7 to 8 wins.  The first half of the season was a train wreck but the team kicked it into a higher gear the last half of the season and was definitely improving.  The 8-point loss to Green Bay to end the season was a hard loss.  And the Getsy problems were all there to see.  He got fired and now we can upgrade there (that list of available OC's has some outstanding names on it).  I am feeling pretty good about it all when I factor in the immense draft resources we are holding and cap dollars available.  People are jumping off ledges after this 1st year of the rebuild and it seems pretty bat shit crazy to me... but that's me and maybe I'm wrong about this.  But I've gotta feel like the arrow is pointing up here.
