These guys have winning records overall, but all are buoyed by one SB win.

I think the bigger question is how many times have these teams lost home playoff games, come in as favorite to lose, or get bounced in round one. That’s a thing.

This doesn’t mean they aren’t β€œgood” coaches. But it highlights my issue with McCarthy. You can win in the regular season with them, but you want more in the playoffs. Their teams underwhelm over the last decade there. Strive for more

Steelers choke like they always do during playoff time post the SB win.

Baltimore too (Harbaugh is 4-7 since the SB win, 2 of those wins are against Tomlin).

I think it’s time to have that talk about how some coaches just aren’t worth it.

This team has 0 heart anymore

Tony Gonzalez just tried to say people are calling Caleb a bust? Jesus Christ. These guys suck.

It really does. Two lines. Ugh.

Just really sad this season is so lost. Hard to have faith.

Daboll has been awful as a head coach to the point they had the GM on the headsets to hear how he treated people. I’m good.

I am never betting or expecting this team to win. I’m just over this franchise.

Whatever the opposite of confidence is, that’s what that press conference made me feel.

If you really look at it, Eberflus was the DC version of Trestman. Overrated as a play caller, not a lot of command of the locker room, and believing in their system and refusing to change it even as it failed. We really hired the opposite side of a bad coin.

- 3 10+ win seasons
- 7 10+ loss seasons (heading towards 8)
- 1 playoff win (2010 season)
- 104-135 record

The defense doesn’t save us. It’s time to change it up.

Save me from the β€œbut who will call the defense” crap. Since 2010, the Bears have:
- 8 seasons where they have finished in the top 15 of points given up
- 10 seasons where they are in the top 15 of yards given up
- 2 seasons where the offense was in top 15 of scoring and 2 in yards gained

I saw enough from Caleb to see that he’s the goods. And enough from Thomas Brown to know we win more games if he was the Oc all year

All they’re doing is taking what Flus is giving them. And Flus has to adjust but usually won’t until half. So let’s just assume they’ll be over 20 points by half time.

I just don’t know what Flus sees when he challenges calls. He’s so willing to throw away timeouts

I think all we can take away from the last two games is:
- Thomas Brown is a massive upgrade and it’s amazing how the best OC under Flus is one he lucked into
- Caleb is the guy and will be
- there is not a single positive trait that Flus has left and I’m looking forward to his firing on Fri/Mon

Is this thing on? Guess it's time to really kick the tires here.
