I liked the points that Pagano has just really disappointed and left no impression he can create pressure schematically without Mack. The defense hasn't performed well enough, even if its been competent. There is no pressure. It gets abused too often. It has major holes and flaws.
Change is needed.
And Pagano shouldn't be the only one coaching for his job, this is a huge magnitude game and we don't want it bookending a terrible decade 2010-2020 of getting owned by the Packers.
I'm fine with letting everyones heads roll on this one game.
Beat Green Bay, and maybe get a new linebackers coach like Mike Singletary or Lovie Smith, and get some fresh ideas. But even Pagano can stay.
Lose this fucking game and just fuck it all really. Nuke the whole fucking thing and make a statement that this isn't accepted here. You lose a game of that magnitude at home to Green Bay, miss the playoffs...again, get big brothered...again....
I suppose it isn't about wins and losses either. Its a football game and you have 60 minutes to earn Green Bays respect. If you go home for the year I can be happy if Green Bay learned respect over 60 minutes and you did respect to the game of football and to the name of athletic competition and competitors. There is a way to lose, but to demonstrate the love of sport and celebrate the human body and its capabilities. If you must lose to Green Bay, please just leave us inspired and entertained.
Green Bay is a good football team, so in a way the Bears have created a playoff game. This is it. Win and advance. Lose and maybe advance.
Respect the game and do football honor and you can't go wrong, maybe the Gods have an even more twisted tale to tell if we are patient.
