Could be worse...

Who really knows. But if I'm Bates, and I get an offer from WAS to be with Shanny for x years and x loot over the chaos in Chicago...I go to WAS.

http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/league-of-...conference.html I especially love this comment below: "I could see them re-singing him. Because the status quo is not acceptable, but everything is okay. Which is why we need to make major changes, but not a massive overhaul. Because even though Lovie and Jerry have been really bad at their jobs, we trust them because they got us to the Super Bowl. So, to recap: everything is just fine. Major changes coming. But nothing major."

Don't you think he'll follow Shany in WAS for the big bucks and a regime he know will be in place for a good number of years?

Getting it done sooner would imply they know what they are doing. I expect staffing to be be done when Avatar 2 comes out with this crew of geniuses...

Tell us how you really feel! Don't hold back! In all seriousness, sorry to hear about your job Terra. I hope you have found something, or find a good one soon. But I say, go to the game. Just don't buy a single thing. Eat before you come to the game, eat after. Drink in the parking lot. Don't give them any more money. The tickets are basically sold already. Express your displeasure how you see fit.

My hope is that a new Pres. will handle the conference...not Teddy Bear.

I can't blame you... And I also know when we get news (or lack thereof) like this...emotions run high. I'm sure you'll be following along religiously once the coordinators are picked and camp starts. I just think your expectations will probably very tempered! I know mine are!

Cutler's a smart guy. He'll be OK. He'll just not reach his peak for a little longer.

It's just so disheartening...

At least all these morons now seem completely attached to the hip. We can only hope fo a true housecleaning next year. Enjoy the extra loot you'll have by not buying products to line the McCaskeys' coffers!

chitownman, You said it... This franchise is in dire straits.

I hate him more!

Ha! i hear ya! 1. What, we wanted to mess up the continuity of not making the playoffs? Swell. 2. It didn't work. We lost the damn game as Lucky pointed out. I am only willin to go to the well if actual success occurred.

Rock on! I'm in on the boycott too!

Then he's wrong. Because in order to be a coach killer, you have to kill an actual coach. Pep was the lone HoneyBear at best...

Good point. And maybe that alone should give the guy some credit. Albeit, I still don't think he did much.

I'm sure both... But the clowns that were let go needed to go...

Rail away! It's eactly what this site is for. To voice your opinions, thoughts, and concerns. I know I've used it many times as a sounding board to relaese my anger! I think if enough of us stress the lack of financial support we will give the team, it may speak louder than even a billboard,etc. Hit 'em in the pockets. The tickets are sold really. But concessions and gear are not.

Could be interesting. If what you hinting at is true, all might not be lost on coordinators. A DC and OC that clash with Smith could prove Smith final undoing, and position one of them into the HC slot... That would actually be more bear-like than getting Cowher.

Was he wearing clothes?

I feel pretty confident stating that today is plretty much playing out what the vast majority of us expected to happen. And it's pretty muc Turner as scapegoat, and lame duck Lovie for at least 1 more year...2 if the planets align. In the meantime, we give Jay 4 OC's in probably 5 years. 3 line coaches for Williams...etc. This just delays the inevitable. It's the hallmark of a family run business. I'm not sure Smith is kept on so much for the loot, but I think becasue old Virgiania just likes Smith as a person. Too bad she is not a football person and can't see he is not a good HC. Well, given what we're expecting to hear at the conference today, my boycott continues. I'll save about $500 in tickets/consessions/gear by not going to a game this year for the first time in years. I will contonue to follow with as much passion as I can muster. It'll be tough. There will be no real draft picks and what looks like slim pickens in FA. Bear down. We are now in year 4 of the Wayne Fontes era for the Bears. Having a lame duck coach who can't get it done, but does just well enough to not get the axe. I need an Old Style...

I'll play. Based on what info we have at the moment... MIN L PHI L GB L NE L NYJ W SEA W WAS W DET W MIN L GB L DAL L NYG L MIA L CAR L BUF W DET W 6-10

...and thankfully your money spent at the game will only go into Jerry Jones' coffers, not the McCaskey's.

The Wayne Fontes era continues...
