"It's not an excuse, it's reality."

These beat guys are just peppering Ryan Pace. Yet they are oddly enough letting John Fox go on tangents to nowhere...

Another quote that made me cringe...
Jay is a quick healer...

Really? Cause maybe that torn labrum is a result of coming back too soon from the hand injury and throwing incorrectly? Or is it just that he got the shit kicked out of him cause his line blows?

And no reorganization even though they're top 6 in yards per carry but they abandon the run with the quickness every game? Oh... you're playing from behind... so that means you abandon what works in favor of what you said was a huge problem... lack of chemistry due to 3 quarterbacks and a menagerie of bad receivers and in and out offensive linemen.

None of that makes sense to me but I'm not an football lifer.

I'm tired of hearing the Jordan Howard didn't get enough carries argument.

He got nearly 300 touches in 13 starts. That is the appropriate amount of touches per game for him. It would be fair to say they need to find a suitable #2 RB to pick up another 100-150 touches.

Aunt Ginny's got this.

The Bears will be in the playoffs next year.

I really didn't think I could feel less confident about the Bears before this presser. But they did it.

Cheer up sunshine.

It's year two of the three year plan.

I'm out.

George also told the media that he has talked to Bears fans that say hang in there....everyone is doing fine.

Pace was right that they do have young talent and need to build around it with good draft picks but any of us could have gone to the podium and said that. Young talent, however, needs leadership. I hate to say this, but Fox looks like a guy just cashing a paycheck. Attitude reflects leadership (movie reference). We need a different coach. Pay Gruden what you have to pay him and get to business.

Fox is definitely just cashing checks. I can't say that I blame him either. The Bears should have known better.

NAS and the new idiot think he is cashing checks because Bernsie told you that. How do you know how he feels about this?

Fox will not coach another team. When he's done here, he's done.

No way he gets another gig.

Pace wanted Quinn....George/Sweaty/Ernie strongly suggested Foxy.

It's going to be hard for anyone to consistently succeed with these higher ups. Different coaches/GM's.....same results. Except for one constant. This team has to be sold.

So, John Fox is leading the Bears to the Super Bowl? John Fox is a football mastermind? Are you new?

No but I doubt he isn't trying because of some cashing a check BS theory. The guy has pride I'm sure.

You can have pride and still be bad.

Nah. No pride.

What passes me off about this press conference is that pace said 3-13 is unacceptable.
Yet.... no consequences.
Therefore... not remotely unacceptable.

Last year's 6-10 also labeled as "unacceptable".

Fox also said this won't happen again. No shit....because you'll be fired. And you have no idea if it will happen again or not.

He didnt just say it wont happen again. I believe his exact quote was that "we wont finish that bad (3-13) again"

Well Im glad he is setting the bar higher than the single worst 16 game record in Bears history.

You guys are right. After this down season where we all already knew we were t making the playoffs we should pull a 49ers. Get rid of the coach and GM. There was no chance for playoffs this year or next and with all the injuries they kept this mostly together. Fire them all.

Ok. Did you feel that the bears were well prepared for 16 games this year?

Its gotten so bad that I dont care. I mean I watch the games, but now they are just background noise. The chats are way more fun. I honestly dont care of they go 12-4, 8-8, or 6-10 next year. They are still my team and I want them to win, but I wont be gung ho about the Bears again until they are in the playoffs.

Frank doesn't care. And really Frank here represents a shit load of bears fans.
I decided to make money off them losing. That's crazy I'm a bears fan! And I knew this season would be agony so I bet on them to lose so I could enjoy the games. That's the only way I could enjoy this season. That is fucked up.
