They released a statement along with this saying that they're committed to building a stadium in the city, but yeah this feels like a big step towards making that project work.

They have a sideline camera, but can't use it for replay because it's not in every stadium. Why not just get the call right? Or just take it out. Eh, looked like it but it was pretty grainy. It’s pretty bonkers that the cameras aren’t uniform and you can’t use that angle though. The point is though, that process for throwing the flag is really messed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On both of them I thought the player was out - but neither were definitive (in my opinion). The rule was pretty stupid too. If you have a camera angle available - use it.

My immediate reaction was that he just blew another timeout, and he did. I don’t trust him to win challenges or call the correct ones, because he simply does not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it happening, and I don't want it to happen, but it absolutely should. They could build Bear land where the Chicago walk of shame is filled with sportsbooks, pubs and eateries that the Bears control. That was the origination of the plan to build in AH. The city said no to them building a sportsbook. So build your stadium, generate more revenue than you can count and give the state a world class facility to host multiple different events. And if you want a few extra bucks to build it, welcome to Sox over there and the State will give you some cash to do it as well. It's that simple. Kevin Warren has been a disappointment to me. He, seemingly, has put his wishes in front of the Bears and the groundwork they had laid out. He wants to see the stadium from his home and he doesn't want to move. That's a ridiculous statement to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 There is a big push for Thomas Brown now. I'm very leery because I know Bears will make wrong decision, so if he IS a good coach it will be elsewhere. But I just look at Antonio Pierce. There was such a media push and good feeling push for them to hire him, esp after Bisaccia. And now it's 8 months in, he brought in a terrible staff, he offers nothing. I just cannot remember the interim ever working out, only times it SHOULD have (Arians, but nobody was firing their HC for having cancer). The difference here is really that he's bringing an improved offense, but unless he has plans on a staff overhaul, no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also comical to make this push based on a 2 game sample size, especially one where it isn't even like the offense set the world on fire. It is just jarring seeing competence after whatever the hell Waldron was doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Media is already talking themselves into Brown as HC, and I don’t want anything like that. Raze this staff and hire a HC the right way.

That defense has chewed teams up so dealing with it with a banged up Oline and rookie QB I think was definitely a feather in his cap. Also starting to agree that last year he may have felt more limited in the Reich offense (more Reid-ish tree) than this year. Also he just seems like a coach vs. Flus who seems to want timid guys.

Tony Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Even with the small sample size, why would you want to change anything, especially now. I saw some people talking about Flus being fired after the Lions game and Thomas Brown taking over. Why put more responsibility on him now, when things seem to be working? Keep him in the OC role. At the end of the year, I would hope they do an exhaustive search for a new HC. If they do, they will find someone more qualified than Thomas Brown. If they want to keep him as OC, great. But the expectations should be raised from Thomas Brown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Lets not have them Bears this up. They screwed up by not firing Eberflus when they drafted Caleb. Let's not waste his rookie year like they've done with every other QB in the last... oh I don't know... 80+ years. Unless it is Kingsbury learning yet another offensive system and setting the kid back would be typical for this franchise. That's why I hope Brown and Caleb continue to thrive the last 6 games here and you can truly see. People forget Brown was a hot commodity for HC before he got the Panthers job as OC. Then the Bryce Young thing gave his shine a step back. So far he's proving with a better, more talented QB that he can absolutely hack it as a playcaller. Caleb and a couple of the offensive guys have already credited him in the meetings with motivating the guys. He might be a diamond in the rough. It would be typical Bears though to have a coach walk and he goes elsewhere and thrives though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 27 Author Share Posted November 27 I’ll wait until end of season. If offense is crushing it than he can interview and if he is the best, great. It is 2 weeks in and so far each week we have seen improvement, if we see continued progress and growth than go ahead and interview and or let next head coach evaluate him for oc. For record, Vrabel is on my short list with Johnson. I am a pretty big Vrabel fan - like tone he would bring and think he knows what it takes to be a pretty good head coach. Of course they should have given Harbaugh a blank check last offseason. But I can’t go back in time - despite me being adamant it at the time (as many of us were).

Coaching shouldn't matter this much, but if Harbaugh is the coach of the 2024 Bears, I truly think they have 7 wins right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt. I also suspect they would have moved down, drafted an olinemen and than would have drafted Mcconkey or something. But no doubt in my mind they win a few of those close games and just have a total different trajectory. The dude flat out loves football, and is quirky, but he builds winning cultures and stresses detail and knows how to get his players to buy-in on his way.
