Why exactly does Phil Emery need a fire lit under his ass? You're acting like he's been here for a decade and getting complacent.

Drafting higher Emery could trade down, guy has to sign something like 60 players.

Because so far his defensive draft players have sucked every bit as much as Angelo's offensive players.

Agreed. I do believe it's a must for the F.O. to try & hire a bright defensive mind who is good at evaluating & developing young talent. IMO that exactly what bit Lovie on the ass with the offensive side of the ball, & appears to be a similar issue with this regime on the opposite side of the ball. Before adding new players, they must get a DC worth talking about on this team.

Maybe it has more to do with our incompetent DC.

I can't argue that , but can't we give Bostic more than 6 games before deciding that he sucks and can't be fixed. It's pretty clear that Emery is going to focus on defense on this year's draft and probably FA, but losing out won't light a fire under his ass more than anything else. It's very apparent the defense sucks and needs to be fixed. He already knows that.

Na, give him our Healthy starting DT's and healthy starting LB's and our Healthy starting CB and see how the DC looks. That being said, our draft picks on D have been bad.
Draft position isn't as relevant as who you pick, cases in point, Chandler Jones after Shea and the host of Wr taken before AJ.

I think it's more to do with the talent on the field. Or lack thereof. McLellin and Bostic are a nightmare. Can't blame Emery for the terrible safeties but the young defenders he's drafted so far are bad players. Tucker didn't make them bad.

He had that at the beginning of the season & our defense still sucked. The only thing that masked it was the turnovers that we produced early in the season.

I gotta respectfully disagree.
Considering that the entire defense has played like crap this season, I tend to believe that our young players would be a lot better under a competent DC.

Wanting them to lose the rest of the games is a bad idea. It will cast a pall over the team and create a bunch of negativity within and outside the Bears org. They need to build some momentum and confidence going into next season more than they need a better draft position.

I did some numbers crunching and projecting, and if we go 6-10, we have a very good shot based on strength of schedule of picking 9th in the draft.
However, there are going to likely be a clusterfuck of 6-10 teams - about 7 I'd guess - by the end of the season. Which means if we go 7-9, we're looking more at picking between 15-23rd.

Draft position means NOTHING. It's up to the GM and Coaches to make a great draft pick. I don't understand why people want their teams to lose to get a better pick when it's not guaranteed the pick will be worth a damn.

I think the lack of pass rush has exposed how bad the back 7 are without Briggs and Peanut. I'm no Tucker fan but I can't blame him for all the injuries.

I think they'll finish better actually. They'll figure out a way to win 2 of the final games. Cleveland and maybe Green Bay with today's news about Rodgers.

I just looked over a team by team list of the top draft needs and the Cowboyz appear to be the only team that might draft before us that has dline as its number one need and they seem to need a DT more than DE. So if the Bears draft in the middle I strongly suspect they will have a shot at a very good DE or maybe even a DT. Bottom line the team needs to win to build confidence and thats much more important than draft position.

Perhaps closing out the season with a sweep of GB will do the trick?

Seems many on here assume the Bears could win any of their remaining games if they "try" to win. I don't think it's going to make a difference whether they try or not. They can't beat any of the remaining opponents if their life depended on it. This team is a steaming pile of crap.
