[FatBabiesHaveNoPride]

Sorry mick. Vash is right on this one....lol....

BEARS

Yep, Special Team, Thomas Jones, Defense and one of those charmed seasons where a team just has a golden horseshoe up their ass.

Yup...All that talent hid a mediocre QB

I'd have loved to have seen Cutler make the Superbowl. He just never had it in him.

he has 1 more year imo

Tenth time lucky I guess.

Ppl are talking themselves into this the same way they talked themselves into emery and trestman. This is typical bears fuckery that will keep them mediocre

There's only one time that I can remember saying the Bears won in spite of a QB, and that was the infamous "They are who we thought they were" game.

Not the Tommie Torn Hammis game in 2006.

You musta been too early for 1984 or 1986

if only they had a black qb they would be ok ..amirite?

why would you want a reach around from a dude?

Man cans? Duh...

They are talking right now on Denver sports radio that Glazer is good friends with Fox. Apparently on Sunday before the game he told Glazer that if he loses this game, tell everyone he will be available for hire. They are kinda pissed , but they arent sure if he was joking because he tends to joke in his conferences.

Also, I guess a bunch of players had a big dinner for Fox last night. They absolutely love him and are trying to be there for him. Even old players, like Stokely, came to the dinner.

Just some info. Take from it what you will.

no, he isn't. Rex played a part too. Everyone likes to remember the 5 or 6 terrible games while ignoring the rest. We wouldn't have been in the Superbowl that year if Orton was playing because we wouldn't have A) had the first round bye, or B) gotten past the first playoff game when we were down against Seattle in the 4th qtr and needed points.

You do realize the 2nd seed in the NFC that year was 10-6 right? The Bears went 11-5 and had a first round bye the year before with Orton. Games would have just been closer in the beginning of the year if Orton were still QBing. There may have been a game or two that Orton would have cost the Bears, just like Rex cost the Bears some games that Orton wouldn't have cost the Bears.

So its kind of silly to say that in regards to what happened that year.

As far as getting to the Super Bowl? Perhaps. Rex made plays in the Divisional Game behind a shaky defense. For all we know, Orton grows as the season goes on and he can also make plays when needed to.

What happens in Vegas...

What about Pace and Fox specifically reminds you of Emery and Trestman? To me they couldn't be more opposite. Also who would we hire at HC that would make you think the Bears are trying something new and are not settling for mediocrity?

 

[Penny Traitor]

How the heck did a thread about John Fox devolve into Rex Grossman and man on man loving?

(You so crazy, CCS!)

Picked the Bears as my team in 87. I was 4.

84 & 86 were the poster years for winning in spite of the QB play

That would make sense in why Jay said so matter of fact he did be the coach here.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

However any of those 3 have similarities to wanny, jauron, and Lovie don't you think?

No, I don't.

Why don't you explain the similarities (beyond the 1st time HC with a defensive background)?

Shea held a dinner for Trestman at the local McDonalds, nobody showed up.

Great point, guy with 200 games as HC in the NFL, active streak of 4 playoff appearances, and 2 SB appearances is just like a former CFL coach ten years removed from the NFL.
