Are You Ready For Some Football - Play Offs

[Imran Siddiqui]

With this team the Bears can make the playoffs next year if they had Jauron.

That's doubtful. They need a DT BADLY, or the defense will just continue to be in the lower half of the league. They also need some OL as well.

the bears are going to need a good offensive scheme. cause they simply have no star on offense. even though they seem to be collecting a respectable amount of talent in the lower regions.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I think they need an offensive lineman, either in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd rounds and run A-Train more often. Go to a run based offense and let Grossman work towards more play actions.

probably a decent idea. but I dont think A-train is all that big of a stud. he's a 1000 yard back from what I can see. so ur going to base ur offense around someone who isn't going to make any pro bowls?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well A-Train had a 4.2 rushing average this year and 4.3 in 2001, which isn't bad. Of course in 2002, he had 3.4. However, I think you cannot base the offense on Grossman. Not yet.

I think A-Train can go for 1,300 yards if you get some new OLmen and focus on the run.

Oh, for all the Bears fans... the team just EXTENDED Angelo's contract for 5 years .

[Ned]

Gag!

[Ming]

We know... they extended his and the contract of the teams President Ted Phillips... at least Ted got the new stadium... that's far more than Angelo has ever done except to supply Jauron with a crappy team

I'm still trying to figure out why Washington was let go... Urlacher needs the big DTs.

[Ming]

It was a money issue... they "felt" they had the talent to get along with out him, and that he wouldn't make it through the season.... That's the official line.

Granted, he didn't make it through the season... but the talent wasn't there to replace him, and it was just a screw Jauron move... all part of the master plan. Which came to it's peak today with his extension, and Jauron's firing.

[Sava]

The bears might have been able to make the playoffs next year with Jauron... but that isn't good enough. Jauron wasn't going to win any playoff games, Jauron wasn't going to win a Super Bowl.... dumb fans are content with mediocrity, I'm not... I'll take a losing season next year if it gets the Bears on the path to a super bowl. Perennial playoff appearances don't mean **** unless you win the Super Bowl.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well now everyone in Chicago seems why a BIG DT is needed (or two), so your All-Pro MLB can roam the field.

[Ming]

I agree with most of what you say... Jauron probably could have gotten to the playoffs next year... but as he proved yesterday, he isn't a genius, and he sure as hell isn't too smart under preasure. My fear is that we will get a losing season next year, and have the same type of head coach who is no better than Jauron... and we will hear how we have to be patient again... They better bring in SOMEBODY good... or all they did was start the lossing again that much sooner. If that's the case, I would rather have kept Jauron.

[Imran Siddiqui]

The irony is that it'll probably be Fassel .

[Ming]

I would rather have Jauron... I'd rather have the loveable idiot than the moronic jerk
