For comparison, Terry Shea led the offense to 32nd in '04. I'm frankly shocked that that's the only year they've ever finished in the bottom 3 points per game in the NFL.  its been a rough century

MJeff posted:Lol wait what. They called it an incomplete but spotted it where the pass was not caught? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLhN9eAkd_Y at 2:21:35, ball is spotted/snapped from just short of the 30. This leads to the incomplete INT and review. At 2:28:28 the ball is spotted at right around the same spot. It gets shifted forward a bit by the center but nothing egregious. The markers still said 2nd and 1 when they stopped the game after the sneak, never measured, then conferred and gave them the first down. I was just convinced that the Bears were somehow cheated when watching it from the stands, like when the refs cheated for Michigan during the game there a year prior (and the Big Ten issued an apology for the two blown fumble calls and Lloyd Carr whined about it). https://www.news-gazette.com/sports/the-fumble-game-illinois-vs-michigan-20-years-later/article_a5cbd0c7-fdfe-53d3-961e-de9b9f8ecb9c.html I probably created a false memory when I later checked the play by play and mixed up the refs blowing the play after the sneak dead and the lack of spot , with a 'how did he sneak for 3 yards' on the actual play. Woops! I retract my accusation about the refs and will instead blame Dick Jauron for loving up that play.

It was a mishmash of friends from my suburban Chicago high school who were all going to different colleges in Boston, as well as the Fenway Park organist, who grew up in Evanston and knew one of my friends who was interning with the Red Sox at the time. When Hester returned the TD, we got so loud in my friend's apartment that neighbors on both sides of us started pounding on the walls for us to shut up.

Was weird getting back to our hotel and turning on ESPN and seeing all the poo poo I didn’t catch from being in the nosebleeds and half drunk. Everyone singing Bear Down as we funneled down the stairs was hilarious. Felt like the stadium was 75% Bears fans.

Chicago fans travel well when their teams do well. Chicago has also been exporting people across the country for 3 decades so there are significant fanbases in most major cities or their burbs. Too bad most of the teams are poo poo most of the time.

Terrible news: my four year old declared that he wanted to support the Bears, like daddy. Told him this would mean lots of being sad, like daddy. He was not put off by this. He also asked for a shirt with 25 on it so I guess Trestan Ebner made a real impression on him.

You only get one opportunity this golden to fire an extremely entrenched coach at a bottomed out program without having to pay him and this is all you can muster?

https://www.thedrawplay.com/comic/offseason-chaos-predictions/ Shoutout to Febreze for correctly identifying the entire NFC North as the only division to be fully committed to Chaos. All four teams will engage in maximum chaos in the upcoming season by this prediction, and I for one could not be happier or prouder.

I love all this is happening while they try to build a new monstrosity of a stadium (that seats fewer purple than the current stadium). But Jesus just fire Fitzgerald, he sucks as a person and a coach. I'm leaving the purple autocorrect, seems appropriate.

Crazy to think there's an alternate universe where he parlayed a couple of 10-win seasons against baby-soft schedules into a head coaching gig with the Bears because Chicago media and fans have a hard time extending their imagination outside the greater metropolitan area
