Fire Mike McCarthy

[mission]

Fire him.

[MadtownPacker]

Ummm... no. Part of this season is just pure dumb luck. McCarthy has had a bad year (should have challenged that terrible spot on 4th down tonight), but he'll get two more years.

OK Tex Jr.

He gets next year and if it is a repeat of this one fire his ass by week 10.

I guess I'd rather not win if we don't have the defense to win, but fuck, does our coach really have to take that attitude when we're actually playing the fucking game? Really, it's like he doesn't want to win unless it's by way of the defense and running game. What the fuck.

I don't know why we should keep him when he doesn't show any signs of changing how he does things. He thinks he can sit on a lead and they will win. He almost lost us the fucking 2nd game of the season. We were up 21 - 3 in that game and his conservative ass pussy play calling in the 2nd half let the Lions take the lead. If it isn't for Woodson and Collins taking 2 to the house we probably lose that game too.

Sorry but I just cannot agree with this line of thinking. Say you pass on 3rd down and don't complete the pass. You're left with a FG and the Bears have 0:55 left on the clock.

You run the clock, kick the FG, and give the Bears 20 seconds to get in FG range.

This whole season is fucked up. Blocked FG's. Shit special teams. Everything that can go wrong has. Unbelievable.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Last year, we had a solid DL, we made our game winning FG attempts, didn't have bad calls at bad times (how many bad calls are we going to get?), and we won the OT coin tosses.

[digitaldean]

Last year, we had a solid DL, we made our game winning FG attempts, and we won the OT tosses.

And our defense came up with a stop to force a FG (Denver) or a pick (SD) to help close out games.

This year, you'd make a crapload betting against our D and special teams when they needed to make a stop at the end.

You can't think like that. That is the whole reason that MM does what he does. "What if the pass isn't complete?" is what MM thinks. What you have to think is, "Damn, the Bears KNOW we will run on 3rd down. Why don't we play action and get the first down and maybe the TD." Why the fuck with 2 minutes left is he relying on the field goal?

Yep.

It seems really bad right now, but this season has been a season of really, really bad breaks.


This is a big fucking year for Ted and Mike though. Another year of this would NOT be acceptable.

[channtheman]

I just looked at the poll. How do that many people think MM doesn't get conservative with a lead? Did you watch the second half? How about week 2 at the Lions for a really good example where we actually gave up a 21-3 lead? What is your logic?

I guess it sucks because we will probably have to endure another year of this. We were good enough this year to finish better than 5-11 (yes, we'll lose to the fucking Lions) but MM got conservative with leads EVERY SINGLE TIME it was like that. And we lost almost every one of those games.

I thought Ted was the greatest thing since sliced wheat bread?

I don't understand. Don't you just still gotta believe?

Yeah, just like you and your dad, I knew what was going to happen. I was so pissed that they got all pussified and played not to lose. When the FG got blocked, I couldn't help but just smirk, because it was so unbelievably predictable.

I think it's MM more than it's TT, at this point.

I did laugh a little because I just knew but really I'm pissed off. MM fucked this season over and hopefully he doesn't do it again. I know he will be here though because NFC championship guarantees you 2 more years. blah blah blah.
