Chicago Bears Talk

The Chicago Bears Blog That Pulls No Punches

So long, Coach …

Don Shula was a fucking football legend. The only coach ever to have a perfect season, he put an end to that dream for the ’85 Bears … doing what no other team could that season. 347 victories in 33 years in a league where NFL stands for Not For Long. That’s the most ever…

In search of a back.

The experts have all opined on what they see as the needs of the Chicago Bears going into the 2020 draft. Nowhere is anyone talking about the massive and gaping hole at running back.  Our primary back in 2019 didn’t break 900 yards on the ground and averaged only 3.7 yards per carry for six touchdowns. That’s…

And Pace signs …. a JAG …

The scorpion says to the frog, “Will you bring me to the other side of the river?’ “Of course not,” says the frog, “You’ll sting me and we’ll both drown!” “I won’t, I won’t, I promise, I want to get to the other side too,” pleaded the scorpion. The frog pondered on this and finally…

End of decade. End the regime.

So the Giants and the Browns at least have the ability to say “We got it wrong with this guy” and cut bait. Kitchens gone after one season. Shurmur after two. Changes I would like to see, regardless of cost: Coaching: Remove Nagy / Pagano / Helfrich / Hiestand. Management:Remove Ryan Pace. He adds no…

PLAYOFFS??

Somehow … there are Bears fans still talking about the playoffs. That just brings out the Jim Mora in me. What is it Bears fans want to see in the playoffs? Three and outs? Chinese fire-drills in the backfield when all we need is a yard? Offensive linemen playing musical chairs looking like the keystone…

What does the ‘C’ stand for?

The Beloved will wear the white ‘C’ on their helmets when they take the field against the Giants on Sunday. What does it stand for now? Clowns? Ted Philips. Jerry Angelo. Trestman. Phil Emery. Ryan Pace. Matt Nagy and his visor. We love clowns. Clueless clowns who parade the GSH through a succession of failures…

The curious case of Mitchell’s hip

3rd and 1 is the basis of football for me. It is the be all and end all of offense. Football isn’t hard. It’s about two things. Heart … and physics. Heart is something you have or you don’t and what separates the chaff from the wheat. The physics part is easy. The list of…
