Would someone tell me why the Bears fired Lovie, just to turnaround 3 years later and hirer Fox. Both are Defensive minded HC both have great DC and both think they can win a SB with a very well below average OC.

I still believe Accorsi sold the deal that way. In order to get them to buy off on Pace and his inexperience he suggests a pairing with Fox as the experienced mentor and it's backfired worse than anyone could have imagined.

But for a couple of missed FGs and a couple more bad coaching decision last yea as well we could just as easily have won 8 or 9 games. We were in most 'til the end and the offense while not great was at least carrying it's share of the load.

What's the one major change? No Adam Gase and the offense has been an albatross around the defenses neck all year yet somehow despite that and the key injuries Fangio has managed a marginal improvement. There is progress.

Right out of the gate the offense was a mess. An offense John Fox assured everyone would be just fine under the capable hand of Dowell Loggains and himself. Yeah right. To me that's a whole lot like me performing open heart surgery on someone and telling his family not to worry I got this.

One factor (just one) I think is that we didn't have our starting 2 WR's, starting TE, and starting QB, more than a heartbeat. It was still September and we were signing a QB off the street (Barkley) and having Hoyer play. We brought in "The Stone Hand Boys" to try and catch a football, and the TE's were soon no-name guys (MyCole Pruitt from the mighty Southern Illinois Missouri Valley Conference). LOL.

I've never seen a Bears season with this level of injury devastation. Not in 55 years of watching the Bears.

When the season began I think Fox (and for that matter most of us fans) thought Jay Cutler & his supporting cast, would lead this offense to at least be respectable. If you want to use the open heart surgery analogy, I'd say the patient died on the operating table pretty early in the season.

I'm just gonna be blunt about it - with the exception of Howard , this offense has sucked .... and if Pace isn't offense heavy with this draft , then he doesn't know wtf he's doing .

I thought 8-8 was the worst we would end up. Adding up everything, 3 Ws is just bad. End of the Story.

I'm not sure what to expect out of next year. Who's our QB? Who will get the ball if that mysterious QB throws it? Who will be Coaching? Can Pace have another good draft? Can he bring in the next Freeman type of Free Agent?

We have lots of holes and some are fixable and some aren't.
