Of all people, Hub Arkush talked me into a more measured response over what’s going on with the Bears. Can’t remember the last time I thought Hub had an intelligent thing to say but he sold me.

Says the players lost the game (of course, but I think the coaches helped put them into position to lose the game). Says he won’t have an opinion on Flus and Getsy until the year is over. And says the Bears have “improved every week for 6-7 weeks, but aren’t where they need to be yet,” and I actually agree with that. I see the improvement, but I also see a team taking its lumps while “learning.”
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

Some really odd Montez Sweat stuff since Sunday, too. Only played 63% of the snaps. The Bears do rotate heavily, but that’s not enough. He should be above 75% at least. Flus said “that’s just how we do things (ok, well don’t do them that way), but PAMan also produced something that says Sweat took himself out of the game at one point?

It’s been hard to get clarity. PAMan mentioned he was maybe out of shape, but I don’t buy that. He’s been playing 45-50 snaps a game all season. I think it’s more likely he is playing hurt, or Flus is just a moron.

Or they know there’s no point this season…

It’s crazy that everybody is quick to throw that idea out the window. NFL teams do this all the time. It’s nothing new. That’s what incentivizing losing creates.
Because FOX News told me so…

Mostly reasonable stuff here.

I don’t think anyone was intentionally trying to lose Sunday. Especially the coaches.

One of the more accurate things you’ve said in quite some time.

Albert Breer reports that Kevin Warren may clean house and bring in his own people (and get more involved on the football side). I’m not sure I need or want that in my life. I guess it depends on who he brings in and what this looks like I’m not sure Warren is qualified to play GM. Flus probably needs to go. Even though the wins aren’t coming yet, I do believe Poles is building this the right way. He’s building for a 10 year plan (like the Chiefs). He’s not selling out to win right away. This year has been disappointing, but I think they are on the correct path. Need a better HC.

Da Bears.
Pick a HC, then a new GM and tell him who the new HC is, then hire an OC who should be gone already and  DC who is gone already, and finish the re-organization with the last guy hired saying he might get rid of the 3 remaining guys hired just before him because he can.

By far your best post ever.

I’d say it’s a slam dunk. Really really clever. Shockingly.

They got bent over if that’s the case. I like Claypool’s talent, but he’s a knucklehead. I really hope it wasn’t a 2nd rounder.

AOTC on Claypool being a knucklehead.
