@RapSheet: Agree. RT @fishsports I don't think Norv Turner has been fired in Cleve yet. New Browns coach might like him. #cowboys will like him more. Norv turner is the cockroach that will never die

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 04:51 PM) Its the NFL people. Guys in the 2nd round are drafted to start early. This isn't some league where you can sit and develop in the minors. James Anderson was a vet and he played in a few games with Briggs and struggled mightily. Did you even notice him on Sunday. I'm not saying he's done and won't be good but through year one, he is a big fat F. The guy got a ton of minutes in the preason and training camp too due to DJ's injuries so it isn't like he had limited activity and then got forced into the gig. He was acting as the training camp / preseason starter for pete sakes. I understand he has disappointed this year, after watching him in the preseason I really thought he would be able to wrestle the job from Williams. But he didn't, unfortunately, and he looked bad doing it. I'm not going to say he is a bust or an Emery miss because of what I saw though, he played in a terrible defense ravaged by injuries and played a position considered to to be a key cog to the defense. Also, we are all still spoiled by watching Urlacher(outside of last season of course). We know what great play looks like at the position and can spot bad play too.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 04:31 PM) As of now...Bostic is a miss. I didn't say he's a bust yet but he was freaking awful. To be frank, given what he has shown, I'd have a hard time thinking it would be a great idea to hand him a starting job next year (we should at least try to bring DJ Williams or another veteran to push him in training camp). This is the NFL, not MLB where you sit around and wait years for guys to develop. Bostic did nothing but get worse and linebacker is typically a position where rookies can excel. Thankfully he has some real nice physical tools. The plan was for him to learn by watching this season, and unfortunately it did not work out that way.

28 players off the roster after today. Thats a pretty big turnover

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 03:36 PM) Bostic and Greene were bad. I put that on Emery and our defensive coaches. Conte and Wright both regressed drastically this season vs. a season ago under Lovie. Why, I think a chunk of that has to do with coaching. We couldn't tackle properly and more often then not were contiuosly out of position/gaaps. Yes, that falls on the players, but that is very undisciplined football and has to do with poor coaching, imo. PS: I will puke if Lovie ends up with Detroit. He'd be a phenomenal fit for them. I love Lovie and want him to win but not with the Lions. Meh, their defense wasnt bad this year. Undisciplined, sure(which he would clean up of course), but their problem is Stafford and Co totally imploding down the stretch, even with Calvin Johnson getting 10 catch 300 yard games(ON ONE LEG). I dont see Lovie going in there and fixing their offense

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 02:59 PM) They have so many holes, they may need to just take the "best defender available," but I'd prefer they go D Line first. Eh, I think they could go DL in the middle rounds and find some good ones. If HHCD is there at 14 i wouldnt think twice about it, but thats just my preference

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 02:57 PM) Can't wait for the Bears meatheads to start pronouncing & spelling that name. It will be Clintons Dick, immediately.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 02:55 PM) Sounds like a bad joke from 1998. It certainly does

QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 02:51 PM) Indeed, barring a FA signing(Bears will have $$ even if they sign/franchise Cutler), HaHa makes the most sense. Stick TJ Ward next to him, or Jarius Byrd. And then forgot this travesty of a safety combination

I hope HaHa Clinton-Dix is available for the Bears at 14.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 12:30 PM) His last fight wasn't a big PPV draw either. I think another run would bring some curiosity numbers right off the bat, if he gets creamed again it would drop off bigtime. I just dont think Lesnar's body can withstand what he does to it when he is training. 2 cases of diverticulitis while training is pretty bad

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 12:06 PM) My f***ing Lord is NBA 2k14 on next gen f***ing incredible. Sounds like someone finally got another GM to trade for Luol Deng

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 12:27 PM) This. I still don't know how it wasn't overturned. I'd appreciate an explanation from the league, but there's no way that will ever happen. Clete Blakeman is the worst, he never explains decisions.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 12:30 PM) I was hoping the Lions would keep Jim Schwartz, but it's nice to see him get the boot. he didnt bother me so much until his infamous handshake meltdown with Harbaugh last year, and then when he started throwing down his headset after wins this season like he was spiking a football.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 12:12 PM) It didn't strike me as being a forward lateral at the time, but I haven't watched the replay. Do you have a link to it somewhere. That's pretty bad if it really was, and doubly bad by the Bears for not challenging. IIRC that play was under 2 minutes, that challenge is booth only

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 11:24 AM) I could be wrong, but Schwartz kinda strikes as a one and done as a HC. Lots of good candidates out there for head coaching jobs and I don't think he is going to be at the top of anybody's list. I agree with this. His record of letting the inmates run the asylum and mismanagement of games is really damning.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 11:04 AM) If Aaron Rodgers is gay does that mean Shea McClellan is guilty of a hate crime? If he is incarcerated, do the bears get a compensatory pick?

Aaaaaand Schwartz is out. DAMNIT

Schiano out, as well as GM Mark Dominik

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 10:23 AM) First of all, an open handed punch does not exist. That would be called a slap. And this "open handed punch" occurred right after he was "open handed punched" first. Just play on. It does not warrant 15 yards. Oh hey look lets get finicky with descriptions because you dont like the call. Second guy swinging always gets busted, we all know this. Hit to the head always warrants 15 yards. If the ref saw both hits it would have been offsetting penalties, but obviously he didnt. It wasnt ridiculous that the call was made, it was unfortunate that he missed both hits and only saw the second.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 10:18 AM) It probably was a bad call, but that's the NFL these days. If you hit a QB at all after the play you're gonna get penalized. We'll just call that a wash for the ridiculous unnecessary roughness called on the Packers on the opening kickoff. There were only I think 5 or 6 penalties combined all game so it was pretty obvious they were just going to let them play. He open hand punched the guy in the helmet right in front of the ref, i dont see how that was ridiculous

I dont think Lovie will ever win a ring if he is allowed to pick his own offensive coordinator.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 30, 2013 -> 09:29 AM) Bears road opponents next year: Lions, Packers, Vikings, Falcons, Panthers, 49ers, Patriots, Jets. 1-7 or 2-6 on the road? So much could change between now and then. And really, a lot WILL change

caulfield, is this going to be your winter Puig?

Shanahan and Frazier given their walking papers
