Can someone ask George McCaskey straight up why he should continue as Chairman? Record speaks for itself

[@StewMain6]

Love TBs energy but Hightower should have been the interim HC so that he and Caleb could continue to build what they had going over the last 3 games. Caleb growing is what’s best after this disappointing season

About Jaylon Johnson. When a slacker is screaming about how he's getting punished but this other kid doing the same thing isn't, punishing that other kid will not make the first slacker work harder.

Good point

[@ElevatorUrinator]

*An *that Might be a valid point. However, you have to also take into account the positives and three games in a row against the best teams in the best division in football and we basically won all of those games if not for poor coaching decisions at the end and sometimes during the course of the games, but obviously we did some things right… Or did - what we need to analyze is if that was complete luck, or did we have some good things that were positive enough to keep this coaching team partially in place. And there’s a lot of things to analyze because we’ve been so inconsistent and what’s the ratio in terms of good luck to our good play and bad luck to our bad play. One or two bad coaching decisions that lost the game could be considered bad luck I would say something that could be rectified with a head coach that is more on the ball

[@ElevatorUrinator]

That said our Defense looks so bad last game looks like we did really lose something good in terms of our defense when we fired Uber flustered as our head coach. He’s under contract we should’ve just demoted him to head defensive coordinator

Man it's pretty much to be expected. Eberflus had issues but he was a very good DC most of the time. The offense took too long to adjust. Niners were playing for their lives too.

[@myles26]

Are they really asking TB to be a miracle worker, or are they just asking him to manage this mess until the end of the season. I dont think they are asking too much of him. I think they are just saying "look at all this shyt we created... Lets let Thomas deal with it." And, if im being honest, it kinda sounds like what Brian Flores and Lovie Smith and Hugh Jackson were talking about a couple of seasons ago. Unfortunately, he will be accountable for the mess he inherited for his entire career.

[@grygus]

"Unfortunately, he will be accountable for the mess he inherited for his entire career." Right, and that's the miracle worker part. If he's going to be held accountable, then the expectation is to win against playoff teams.

Absolutely no accountability from players, coaches or front office. This is a good lesson and learning tool as to NOT PREPARE AND APPROACH obligations and body of work.

I love hoge, genuinely one of my favorite bears reporters, but come on man. How are you still in shock that one of the best teams in football ( injuries aside ) came out and kicked the crap out of a lousy bears team? Any bears fan saw this coming from a mile away. The Niners needed a get right game and it’s always the bears that offer that to struggling teams.

[@Shugoshin9720]

I’m not even mad at Thomas brown. He’s an interim head coach, and frankly the team has shown itself to be a bad team. It is incredible how effectively Poles has burned all the good will he accrued the past year. The first half was so bad I wished Poles resigned out of shame for saying the past is the past and all that other shit he was talking. I wish the McCaskeys were better but it sucks to be a fan of something you don’t own. Edit: why would they give the head coach a longer contract than the GM? I will not allow people to act like the defense was held together by Eberflus. The defense is dead last in defensive success rate since the Washington game. They’re done and they’ve been done for a while now

[@guiseppe2862]

Poles passed on two super stars, Jalen Carter and Brock Bowers who would both be the best players on the team. It is those type of players get you to the Super Bowl. We could have had our Travis Kelce and Chris Jones. Imagine.

[@ElevatorUrinator]

You gotta give it to D’Andre Swift though he laid a hit on one of their defensive backs might have been the hardest hit of the season by an offensive player❕ somewhat reminiscent of sweetness back in the day although Payton had so many of those.

[@sevinbamuels6560]

Swift is not a every down, run between the tackles type RB. He's somewhat reminiscent of another Bears RB: Dennis Gentry. Very good old school 3rd down back. He a very big reason the Bears can't run the ball consistently.

[@turtleislandlac1490]

Even if Thomas Brown wins the last four games he's not the guy. He might be a future HC but not now. You can't lose that badly and expect to be head coach. There were very few positives. Would be great if the new coach wants to retain Brown as the OC but if not the team has to move on.

​@TheBearGrappler They said the same thing about Sam Darnold. Justin may very well be a better all-around QB. Caleb has flash plays.

I think Bears media is starting to get a little delusional. This staff that is left over, is still all Flus hires. He was not good at evaluating coaches, why would these leftover scraps somehow be better than he was? Also, to think it's Poles fault they lost this game, when clearly the players have decided the season is over because it is, that has nothing to do with talent evaluation outside of evaluating bringing back Flus.
