Giants fan here, don't get me wrong, I like you bunches FDC, but TC has about another five years of 0-16 football before I start telling him what he should and shouldn't do.
I have friends who are bears fans, you guys got your own problems, yes, you have started out well this year, still need an O-Line and speaking of firing coaches to quickly...........
Haha. I never said us Bears fans were sensible. I know that Coughlin's record speaks for itself and has two SB's. He has forgotten more about football than I have ever known. I don't like the way he treats his better players at times. I feel that if you are going to bench your best runner for what amounts to two games if not more than he should bench Eli for the four picks. Those demoralize the team just as much as a fumble, but he won't ever do that, nor would I for that matter. Of course I am pissed about Wilson because he is on my fantasy team and Coughlin fucked me again just like Nicks did last year but I am over it now.
The Bears O-line is improving and getting better with the new additions. Personally, I felt Lovie Smith should have been fired years ago. The team continually poured money into the offense with Cutler, Marshall, etc... and he chose to not even hire a quarterbacks coach. He alienated half his team by ignoring the offensive woes for years. He cannot make a halftime adjustment whatsoever. He literally cannot do it because he has no idea how offense works. He was a players coach and they rarely win the big one. Norv Turner is a players coach, so are the Ryan brothers, so is Pete Carroll and I would be willing to bet anyone that he won't win a Super Bowl in Seattle. It simply won't happen.
Coughlin tries to be too much like Parcells. The only problem is that Parcells actually has a kind streak and a sense of humour unlike Tom.
Good conversation though for sure. I completely agree that firing Coughlin now would be foolish. I just personally don't like the guys tactics, but then again, what the hell do I know.
