       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.
