2011 NFL Season - A New Game

Leslie Frazier's lucky the Vikings still have to pay Brad Childress around $6 million or he'd probably be on the chopping block as well. His coaching position is secure because the Vikes can't afford to fire him.
 
I take it that means someone on the Bears staff has been axed?

Jerry Angelo was fired.

Had to google it to see who he was. I was kind of thinking it was going to be Martz based on Timby's quote, because I know how he loves him.

Now I'm hearing that Martz has resigned. Can't seem to confirm that anywhere though, anybody got anything on this?

ETA: Appears to be true. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...ffensive-coordinator-20120103,0,4029196.story
 
Any hope of Lovie goin' away?

I mean, he's a nice guy....and a good DC with the right people for the defense he insists on sticking with, but that team needs a real head coach.

Lovie's one of the best coaches the team has ever had.

Think about this: Jerry Angelo had been the team's GM since 2001.

Matt Forte's selection for the 2011 Pro Bowl makes him the first offensive player Angelo has drafted to make the Pro Bowl. Let's see how Lovie does when there isn't a drooling mouthbreather running the front office.

And Martz is gone, too? Holy shit, Cutler may actually live long enough for his children to know his name. And he might remember it, too.

This is a great day. Not just for football, not just for Chicago, but for America.

And while I'm here, I'd just like to add an additional "fuck you, Jerry" for dealing Greg Olsen for peanuts because he didn't fit Martz's scheme. Even at the time, I said "What the fuck, Olsen's like 25 and Martz might be gone after this season." Fuck you, Jerry, I hope your replacement gets something done with that third-round pick, you jackass. Get fucked by a wildebeest on your way out.
 
Yeah, and it'll be his fourth -- and he's 28. Not really an ideal situation.

That said, Jeremy Bates is almost certain to be in the mix, and he and Cutler have Denver ties.
 
^ Unfortunately, Cutler will have to learn another offensive scheme.

If Cutler can make the Bears not look like complete garbage given Martz's ridiculous schemes that haven't worked since St. Louis a decade ago, I'm confident he can learn a new offense fairly quickly.
 
Anyone a Browns fan? I'm not, but it seems like Mike Holmgren wasted his first season in office with a lame duck coach and the second season with a lame duck quarterback.
 
Anyone a Browns fan?

That's a good question. I've never seen one before, but it doesn't mean they don't exist.

I assume most original Browns fans are probably Ravens fans at this point, as opposed to steaming pile of horseshit that passes for Cleveland football these days.
 
I can't remember if this has been posted previously, but it's worth breaking back out with the current discussion....

I woke up this morning and Jerry Angelo was still no longer the Bears' GM.

And I smiled.
 
Don't the Colts have to pay Peyton $28 million next year if they don't trade him or cut him? With the new salary limits on rookies, drafting Luck makes more financial sense. At the end of the day, it's a business. Sometimes business is rough and leaves people out in the cold. Not that Peyton would be out on the street like a normal person losing his job. The players and owners both treat this like a business, so the Colts have to do what's best. That's drafting Luck.

Some dumb shit from the Alabama board was claiming Justin Blackmon would go as low as #12 in the draft. I don't think so. :rolleyes: If he goes lower than #5, (barring unexpected injury) I'll be shocked.
