Did any of you watch the BCS Championship last night?
That Bama defense... just wow. I haven't seen a crew like that
since... well... the 85 Bears.
I'll take their DC for the Bears please, and he can bring 3 or 4
of his players with, too. 8)

Funny you should bring that up. The sportscasters down here were
comparing them to the 85 Bears defense. "you simply were not
going to score on them".
What happened? Oh yeah. The McCaskeys. Enjoy your money you
effete losers. Even today, their faces scream, "take my lunch
money and give me a swirly".

Rams are interviewing GM candidates from the Titans and Falcons.
Bears are interviewing... no one.
Ridiculous.

For those compelled there is an article in the sun times about
butt buddy that is nothing more than a paid press release. I
can't bring myself to even post it. There are no interviews. Why
should they? They got their man. Watch him bring Angelo back as
a "consultant".

Good, honest analysis of the Bears DL this past year.
HTML http://discussions.chicagotribune.com/20/chinews/chi-bears-analysis-defensive-line-disappointed-20120110/10
Bottom line, for the amount of dollars and draft picks invested
the past several years, the unit underperformed. I had high
hopes after the dominant opening game against the Falcons, but
for most of the rest of the season it was too few and far
between as far as the DL playing a major positive role for the
Bears. If you're sub-par on the front 4 and the back 4, very
few defensive systems are going to work consistently no matter
how good your LBs are -- and even more so LoviNelli's system.

Not only has there been no apparent movement on interviewing GM
candidates...
We also have not taken any steps (reported, anyway) towards
replacing our QB coach OR in finding a new OL coach to take
Tice's former duties.
W*T*F are they doing up there in Halas Hall anyway? Did they
give everybody the month off or something?

Maybe we could find a way to take this guy off the Lions'
hands...

Ok, that would be funny and sad at the same time. I would have
to burn every Bears item I own if that happened.

Even if Ruskell isn't hired as GM, it really concerns me that he
has been left him in charge of the draft preparations.
I said yesterday that the success or failure of this upcoming
draft could very well dictate this team's fortunes for the next
3 to 5 years. It is much too critical a draft for a hack with
Ruskell's track record to have even a finger in the process, yet
until and unless another GM is named, he's running the show.
If we drag the GM search out too much longer, then the new GM
not only will have no say over the coaching, but he'll be
handcuffed in personnel evaluation as well because his prep time
leading up to the draft will be so short. Knowing how Halas
Hall works, I can totally see us bringing in a new GM and there
on his desk is a list of the draft "recommendations" that will
have been made for him (by Ruskell, God help us)... and it will
be very hard for him to deviate too far from that because there
won't be enough time to blow up the draft board and start from
scratch.

I think thats a legitimate concern. Again thats a Lovie hire,
not a GM hire. Lovie wants to get off the bus running. Thats why
Lovie and staff need to go. I expect to see Ruskell promoted to
GM too.
