Same could be said in the other direction. You can’t have a problem with Feinstein if you had no problem with McConnell…
It’s confusing why Feinstein needed to be kept around when any number of California democrats could take her place.
Personally, i felt bad watching those videos of McConnell…I’ll never agree with his politics but i don’t like seeing people suffering.
Everything McConnel has ever done was perfectly within the rules. Trump? That guy doesn’t care about rules.
McConnel has been ruthless but still maintained decorum and followed precedents.
90 years is a good life. I hope i get as many.

Feinstein has passed.

Astonishing that anyone could make sense of hiring the people that they did and gave no care or thought to what would become of one of the youngest teams in the nfl…don’t they see that without the coaches the hundreds of millions they spend on the players is totally wasted?
Cheapness and inexpirence at HC isn't the Bears' problem. Look at all these other non experienced HC that got hired on other teams. GB coach: no previous HC experience, only was an OC at the Rams and TEN, Rams coach: no HC experience. Bengals guy: no HC experience. the MIA HC whose team just put 70 pts on the Broncos, again first time coach.
They've just consistently hired the wrong people. I even looked at the previous candidates from the 2022 coaching search. Majority were DC guys, some of them failed retreads. The only offensive guys were the Bills OC (ended up getting the NYG job) and Doug Pederson. And they weren't hiring Doug Pederson.
On the GM stuff/inexperience stuff you may have more of a point. They chose to overpay LB on day one of free agency and chose to sign a OG with questionable practice habits and shitty pass blocking skills, traded for Claypool and he's disappointed. Those are bad moves/losses to me.
The Bears need to just improve whatever fucking criteria or processes that go into hiring these guys. At some point, they might be better off tossing a dart at a random board of names. You can be cheap as an owner and succeed in the NFL. The Bears are cheap and dumb. That aint gonna work. Either the owners gotta step up and start giving a shit about who they hire or just live with this cycle of crappy Bears football.
I think hiring inexperienced coaches might work out in some places…but the bears don’t even have the basic infrastructure in place anymore.
I think hiring a defensive minded head coach who has never done it before AND expect a young QB to develop is straight up Jack assery.

You mean they guys that were literally hired 18 months ago? Do you know how many coaches and managers they've been through in the last 10 years?
The bears are fundamentally broken. Shuffling the chairs around on the deck of the titanic isn't going to do anything. It's embarrassing that they are so focused on their new stadium so publicly...when they put this putrid shit on the field. The political fighting that's going on over their stadium is all they talked about all summer....then this? Like...no one is engaged in anything anymore.

Fieids only has 1 year left on his contract with the team option for 1 more…pretty standard for rookie contracts…team control for 4-5 years.
If you see the analysis of his play you’ll see that it appears his confidence is just destroyed. Indications of his decision making followed by hesitation…and then compounded mistakes
#117 Re: The Garden » NFL 2023/24 season » 92 weeks ago
God the Bears suck. Just a horribly inept team top to bottom. They're what the Detroit Lions were in the 90s and 2000s. Awful.
Dolphins score 70 points...most in a game in like 60 years. Crazy.
Your point about the bears is well taken.
Once it gets this bad, how do you even begin to turn it around.
You can see it in the way they play…they don’t even believe it can be fixed.

Very true. That world has well and truly past us by. I don't see any "old band" ever having a proper hit again, there's simply nobody under 30 who is interested in rock n roll anymore.
They like computers playing repetitive riffs and beats…

I sincerely hope that’s the case…but it seems there has been a lot of baiting going on….
Has the Biden administration handled this well or not? I guess that’s what it comes down to…
The MAGAs only define success based on who is in charge.

I’ve been casually following this thread and i have to admit to you all…
In a world where the most popular music is mostly women whining and bitching about things…mostly men…
The disappointment i expect is that 9/10 people won’t even notice
