Jerry Angelo’s Weekly Interview
http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=6294
Jerry gave this quick interview to Chicagobears.com. In the interview, he shares his thoughts on why his expectations for the season have not changed even though the Bears stand at 4-4 right now.
In my opinion, the Bears are done. I’m not giving up complete hope in the team, but I don’t think they are going to make the playoffs.
And, that is all that matters at the end of the season. I don’t care if we beat the Packers twice (we can’t this year, but I’m just saying), and crush Minnesota twice, as well; if we aren’t in the playoffs at the end of the 16 game season, it wasn’t a good year.
With so many holes to patch up, I’m not exactly sure next year is looking so bright, either. Without a first and second round draft pick, the Bears won’t be able to work on their deficiencies as much as they would like. Most teams trying to build up use the draft to do so, but the Bears don’t have that option.
And, with Angelo seemingly uneasy about spending big money in free agency, I don’t see the Bears getting much help there, either.
It is getting harder and harder to watch the Bears play. It’s almost like they came back from the bye week a completely different team. They have absolutely no pass rush (only two sacks in the last four games), they can’t make a tackle, and the offensive line is still struggling.
I’m not so sure a coaching change is the answer, but something needs to be done.
What are your thoughts on the Bears season? And where do you see them going from here?
