California dreaming to lake effect legacy: 2024-2025 Chicago Bears 🐻 season thread

[CHICAGO]

If he was really that he wouldn’t had got hired by the cowboys in the first place

I haven’t heard guru next to his name but I heard his shyt vanilla, matter of fact didn’t he take play calling away from Kellen Moore because of “balance” to just call the same plays Moore called

I JUST REALIZED YOU MEANT
TO SAY FIRED INSTEAD OF HIRED....

HE DIDNT GET FIRED...

THEY COULDNT COME TO TERMS
ON THE AMOUNT OF YEARS ON HIS NEXT CONTRACT
SO THEY PARTED WAYS

I am kinda warming up to McCarthy as head coach.

I worry if Ben Johnson would just become Matt Nagy 2.0.

Valid concern, but Johnson has the paperwork in buffing up Goff in DETROIT of all places.

In what I've passively read/heard about Johnson in regards to Goff himself is that BJ helped him open up his passing mental in brain picking with plays. Johnson apparently takes feedback well and leans into what you see and learn in the play. Other offensive side players has said Johnson tends to work for you, rather than fully needing to adopt HIS strategy. Someone like Waldron apparently seemed to have more of a "let's see where this takes us" free flow approach and Johnson is moreso "how can I get the result I want" in pulling from your experience. Not sure how much of that is fluff because you know how players are in speaking into the fanbase or media. But it does sound like Johnson is ever-adapting.

On the contrary, just looking at how things played out, Nagy was mostly rigid in his scheme. Remember the day Fields got murdered in the Browns game? Nagy felt he shouldn't have to adapt the playbook to going from Dalton to Fields. He expressed knowing the need for a better run game, but didn't incorporate it. Or the "I didn't come here to run the I-Formation" like in one of the post games. He's not an idiot. So on.

There is/was the goof of having Reid be the salesman. Nagy was apparently the most HC-ready on his staff. Probably true, but he let his own belief in himself destroy himself.

My biggest fear for Johnson is becoming someone like Gase at worst, and Fangio at best. Neither were good at the HC position, but Gase hella flamed out and Fangio seems to be running the rest of the race as coordinator.

IIRC, Nagy never called plays for KC.

I meant hired , wasn’t he out the league for some years before he got hired by the cowboys

 

[Gritsngravy]

Bears need somebody who will return the team to respectability and develop the qb

nikkas acting like a wild card level team isn't an improvement to this dumpster fire. If they are stagnant at 10-11 wins in several years cool, at least they are now a competent team

tomlin and his record are damn near identicial

Then after a couple years of nfl purgatory the bears will go back to the drawing board trying to find a coach and a qb

Purgatory ain’t winning the nfc north anytime soon, purgatory probably means a losing record to the packers, purgatory is not respectable in the nfl

Emo? Gloom and doom?

I don’t give a fukk ultimately, but y’all can hype the bears up once again over Mike MacArthy of all people, he had more talent in the cowboys and ain’t do a damn thing and he supposed to elevate a bears team who can’t seem to draft worth a damn

Wasn’t the bears supposed to be a playoff team this year according to you and some other posters in this thread?

ITS MCCARTHYS FAULT
THAT DAK THREW A 1ST HALF INT
SETTING GB UP FOR A REDZONE TD
AND ALSO THREW A FIRST HALF PICK 6?

YOU TALKING LIKE DUDE
IS SUPPOSED TO GET ON THE FIELD.

IF A PLAYER CHOKES THE COACH
CANT DO shyt ABOUT THAT


​

 

[nefarious]

I’m going insane from this shyt but what was the reaction when KC hired Andy Reid? My memory (could be wrong) was like “ah that dude was a good but he’s past his prime and does a lot a lot of bonehead clock management stuff”

Maybe thats McCarthy too and he’s still got a ton left to offer? I don’t know.

 

[prime]

Both had top 5 QBs of the 2010s

That’s subjective but all im saying is mike shouldn’t be the first or second option, i really want to say he should be a borderline last option

 

[Gritsngravy]

And the media and fans been trying to fire Mike Tomlin for years
