Steve9347 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 3, 2012 -> 11:51 AM) Hard to single them out right now, they(as in George) did what we have been asking them to do for the past 3 years. Besides, Hegone33 is just trying to get a rise out of bears fans right now, since his perennial contender 49ers has shown everyone how to win their division with regularity over the past 5 years like the Bears have. Oh, wait..... Good point, George is a pimp. I was just kidding, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn from the best. Bears should be a marquee franchise in this league, not a cute "remember Butkus, Halas, Dikta" side show. This is the first step towards organizational rehabilitation. Now to find the right GM . . . . think Scotty Bowman can scout OL talent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you just got fired as a HC, it's not time to start worrying about what another team did to your brother when he couldn't get the job done. The Bears have a very good QB, an older, but solid defense, a great fanbase, and are the charter franchise in the League...as long as they are willing to pay the market rate, they should have no trouble attracting the best available coaches.

The Bolts did kind of screw themselves by breaking Cutler's thumb. They lost to the red-hot Bears, while their 3 division mates all managed victories vs. Caleb Hanie.
