We would actually be a good team if we were healthy.

Lol NFL rules are made up on the fly. The ref sat there watching the play and didn't throw a flag until Stafford was halfway through his complaint.

Fox and Caldwell just had the Borg-McEnroe Wimbledon final of bad NFL coaching. We'll be telling our grandkids about that one.

Fox's ultra-conservative offensive philosophy bit us in the fourth quarter. Third and 4, run a play-action short pass to the flat, something safe, to try to get the first down and then run out the clock. Show some machismo instead of playing not to lose.
Like I said upthread, I think we're seeing the difference a good coaching staff can make, especially when replacing a really bad one. Just the fact that the defensive players are in a position to make plays this year shows you how much of the defensive problems of the last couple years are on the coaches versus the players.
We're also seeing Jay Cutler with an actual offensive coordinator, playing in an offense that actually suits his strengths. I know it's popular to say that Cutler got his previous OCs fired, but I don't exactly see Ron Turner, Mike Martz, Mike Tice, or Marc Tressman ripping up the league with another team. Flacco with the Ravens is doing a pretty good 2014 Jay Cutler impression with Tressman as his QB coach.
I would love to have this coaching staff stay in tact for 3 years. Chicago radio is assuming the Gase will be interviewing for HC positions again. Honestly, I am more impressed with Fangio. The offense has some talent. The defense, it has to be smoke and mirrors.
The Bears have 10 or 11 more or less interchangeable guys in the front seven. None are Pro Bowlers, but none suck out loud. They know where they're supposed to be, and they follow their assignments. Their mistakes are usually those of simply not having enough talent rather than not knowing what they're doing.
The secondary, since Porter and Rolle got healthy, and since Callahan took the nickel spot from McManis, has actually been really good. Amos and Fuller could be the real deal.
