I am waiting for the finger pointing to start after that loss, especially after 3x 4th Quarter INTs by Fitzpatrick. The Jets did just enough to lose. Kind of weird that Marshall's first year with the Bears, the team goes 10-6 and misses the playoffs, and now the Jets do the same thing. That was the Bears best record with Marshall. This is only the 2nd winning season for Marshall (both 10-6 teams).

#11 is one of the sweet spots in the draft.

OLine is biggest need. I am surprised Cutler wasn't on IR by now. Mariani with game ball. New Orleans win gives us #11.

Bears picking 11th. 9. New York Giants (6-10) - .496 10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-10) 11. Chicago Bears (6-10) - .556

and INT #3, Ansah hits him again. 6-10.

Gould just made his 33rd FG, new Bears single season record.

Refs again, Mariani clearly hit after 5 yards (he was shouldered and actually spun around), but no call. Bears settle for FG. Still need a TD to win, so unless the defense can stop the Lions, it looks like that was the ballgame.

Amazing how we can have 5x OLinemen and Forte not stop 4 rushers.

Then the defense looks completely porous and lets Lions easily down field to score another TD. Just look undermanned.

Now a 45 yarder to Thompson, offense looks completely different when we take legit shots down field.

Nice throw and catch, Cutler to Bellamy for 34. This is something we have missed most of the year.

Defense actually playing really good. Besides for their 1st drive issues, they have been very solid.

Just the Bears luck, in 3 seconds, somehow Detroit is able to hike the ball and throw an out route, and get tackled inbounds.

btw, these refs are brutal again.

Wow our offensive line is horrible, we might need 3 upgrades to make the line decent.

He needs to grow a pair.

Eagles, Browns, Dolphins "expected" to chase Gase. The Dolphins would probably be the best option except for playing in the NFC East. The mention of Cleveland and possibly persuading Manning is hilarious. I just can't see Manning going to Cleveland, let alone with Manziel there. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/...hase-adam-gase/

Didn't Smith get injured in the bowl game? Hard to pick him top 15 if he misses the combine. We can't have an injury risk/concern with another first rounder.

I think Fangio is more like Dick LaBeau, seen as a great DC, but never really seen as having great HC potential (for some reason). I agree with Jason, I would hate to lose him, especially after 1 year into a 3-4 conversion.

Some intrigue for the final game of the year, will this be Forte's swan song? Will this be Adam Gase's last game with the team as OC? Will any new players emerge or standout? Will the Bears avenge their previous loss? Will the refs actually call a fair game? Which draft pick will the Bears end up with? Will Mariani gain more than 3 yards on a punt return? Will SMC play and look completely lost in coverage? Will Gould miss another FG? Will we have Red Zone success? My prediction: Bears 27-20, drafting 16th

You really think with all those openings that he won't get a chance? Just look at some of the recent hires over the last couple of years. He would've had the SF job if he wanted it last year. I think he is gone. Most of the other popular candidates are on playoff teams, so he will get the jump on interviews and will probably be signed before the Super Bowl.

14. Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State Jay Cutler looked like a new man earlier in the year, but he has regressed recently. Part of the blame has to be on the offensive line, which features two struggling tackles. Kyle Long is out of place and should be used at guard, while Charles Leno is just a swing tackle, at best. 44. Austin Johnson, DT, Penn State The Bears need as much defensive help as possible as they continue to transition into their new 3-4 scheme. The defensive line is comprised of mediocre players, at best, so this is an area the front office will have to upgrade this offseason. 75. Anthony Zettel, DE/DT, Penn State A second defensive lineman in three rounds makes sense for the Bears, who continue to transition into their new 3-4 defense. 106. Devontae Booker, RB, Utah The Bears are grooming Jeremy Langford to be their starting running back of the future. Matt Forte will likely leave in free agency this offseason, so a backup will be needed behind Langford. http://www.walterfootball.com/draft2016.php I don't mind going OL, then DL, but Johnson is the only guy relatively close to his current draft ranking. I don't see Conklin going in the top half of the first. 2x Penn State Lineman? Then top it off with a RB in the 4th? I just don't see it. With the devaluation of the position, and having 2x young RB's, I don't think we can afford to go RB there. For the first 4 rounds, we need to address OL, DL, LB, and DB in no particular order unless there is a ridiculous value there.

Yep, McCoy was OC before he went to SD, and Whisenhunt was almost hired by Fox as well.

With the potential to lose Adam Gase after this season with so many HC job openings projected to be available, who do you think will be the Bears next OC and why.
