  • Philly plays the lowest-seeded survivor of the first round. So if your first round picks are Carolina & GB, they would play GB in second round - not Carolina.


    Oops... then make them lose to GB in the 2nd round.

    Then GB beats StL in the NFC Championship.

      Andy Reid was the QB coach at GB when he was hired as head coach in Philly. Sometimes it can work out.

      Thought the Bears finished strong with the exception of yesterday. Make Kordell a WR.

      • Long-time rumor has been that Nick Saban's his man, but Saban's about 5x more expensive than 3 years ago, and they've got to pay Jauron over $2MM to go away.
        No way the Bears get Saban. Right now he is sitting pretty in LSU and has said that he'd only move to Miami... but Wannstedt isn't fired, so that's closed off. Saban stays where he is (he's been a rumored NFL coach since his days at Michigan State).

        Lovie Smith seems to be the best fit at Atlanta, and I think Arthur Blank is going for that one.

        Dennis Green may go for Chicago, but I see him going to Oakland when they can Callahan.

        I think Reeves or Fassel will be the coach to take over in Chicago.

        • Though for Bears fans, it could be worse... the Lions today just retained Matt Millen .

            Lovie. That name kills me. How often do you have to fight kids that tease you when you are a kid in grade school with the name "Lovie" ?

            • Why do you think he became a big tough football player?

              • I think Wayne Fontes would a perfect fit for the Bears....

                • People seem to be forgetting how truely cheap the Bears really are. Granted, they have no choice in at least paying the minimum of the players cap... but coaches aren't covered in that. They already owe Jauron 2.5 million or so for next year. I can't see them paying a Reeves or Fassel. (plus, Fassel is no better than Jauron was)

                  • Reeves isn't TOO expensive. Who knows, maybe they'll take Deion on his offer .

                    • I think Ditka is available. Or see if Buddy Ryan want to come out of retirement.

                      • Ditka! While they still may suck, they'll be a lot more interesting.

                        • Maybe Arizona will fire Dave McGiniss and we'll finally get him. (He was the original choice over Jauron until McCaskey screwed it up.)

                          Actually, the classic Bears move would be to hire Singletary.

                          My choice? Marv Levy.

                          • I hadn't even thought of Marv Levy. He's been great on the "SCORE" with his commentary... Rah mentioned him earlier when I talked to him. I agree he would be a great choice. He lives in Chicago now, and maybe they can get him cheap enough that they would consider him.

                              There is NO way he is coming back to football. He ain't like a Vermeil who needs to coach the game. He's perfectly content to stay out of the stadium.

                              And if he ever does come back, I'd think it would have to be with an established team that has a chance at the SuperBowl with minor work (like Miami). He wouldn't want to build up a team at his age (over 70).

                              • Actually... he has been making noise on the local sports radio station (where he is one of their regular NFL experts) that he might be interested in coming back if the situation was right.
