Bears & NFL Talk LXV: Kraft's a John & Parkey is cut

[piteus]

Where was the aggressiveness on offense in the first three quarters like we saw toward the end of the game? No, let's just keep leaning on the defense to win every game for us. Guess what...they get tired sometimes and it showed toward the end of the game. This all led to the predictable ending of the game coming down to you know who...and of course he failed. I'm not even mad at Parkey right now...the Bears are the ones at fault for him still having a job here in the playoffs.

I'm happy Trubisky showed something tonight. Next year will be our year. We weren't going to New Orleans and winning IF we got out LA.

Parkey agrees as well.

LOLOLOL!

Yes. Looked good off the foot for sure

No, it looked like it was going wide left. If anything the tip kept it within the uprights. It was an awful kick.

I think LA would of been the tougher game. They saw the Bears a few weeks ago and can gameplan off that. They would have their warm weather. And they would of had 2 full weeks to prepare for the Bears. Last night, they probably were like - oh crap we better switch gears and get ready for the Cowboys.

But yeah. I think Mitch showed a lot as the year went on. It's exciting to think of what he will do with a full off-season with Nagy.

That miss doesn't hurt any less this morning.

 

[RayP]

It’s Monday morning and Cody Parkey still sucks.

 

[Illinihockey]

That miss doesn't hurt any less this morning.

Ya this one stings, probably because I thought this team could legit challenge for the title. Absolutely can't bring Parkey back. There will be a riot the first kick he misses in the pre season.

Happy the Chargers pulled it out

This is the biggest reason I am positive this morning. He obviously wasn't perfect but he made a lot of truly great throws last night. He may have been a bit overwhelmed early but he put them in a position to win in crunch time. People kept saying one of the biggest unknowns is could Mitch, when they needed him to, drive down the field at the end of the game and put the team in a position to win. He did that.

I listened to his press conference this morning and man I love his attitude too. Kid is just such a hard worker and he wants to be great. He was leaps and bounds better this year, and this was his first year in the offense. He'll have another whole off-season to digest things and get better.

I know Nagy didn't have a great game but let's not forget he is a first year head coach. I trust him so much to work with Mitch this off-season to develop him even more.

Probably rooting for them and the Colts the most now.

 

[Illinihockey]

Rooting for the Chiefs. Have a good friend that is a Chiefs fan and I like Andy Reid

Ew. Can't root for the Spanos'.

Would be hilarious to see a championship parade with only about ten thousand attendees, though.

I'll be rooting for the Colts, Chiefs, and Saints, in that order.

There's a decent chance Fangio gets passed up IF Denver goes with an offensive coach. That said, Kubiak wants to be an OC again. It's a shame for Fangio ... but good for the Bears.

 

[HawksBeerFan]

Vic staying would make me feel so much better about the offseason

Not to mention Denver is in a really weird spot right now. Elway has one more year on his deal. I guess Kubiak would come which would solve the OC thing, but I could really see it being a bad year for the Broncos.

 

[hawksrule]

I still can't believe a great season went down the tubes on a freaking 43-yarder.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Only thing to root for this morning is Vic staying.

After Parkey's season, missing the FG didn't surprise me. However, hitting the post AGAIN was painfully hilarious. It's like God was telling us ... not this year.

He also hit the cross-bar. I said it to my friend after the time-out where he makes it, "watch him hit the post". I thought from the angle it may have still bounced in and had no idea until the refs waived off.

The look on Nagy's face was priceless.

That is gross. When I was like 10-12yo my parents drove me to KC to watch the Bolts and Dan Fouts, Charlie Joiner, John Jefferson, etc. destroy the Chefs. I had Chef fans threaten me and try to start a fight with me during the game. A child. I have zero respect for that shit franchise of inbred mouth breathers after that experience.

How many posts did Parkey hit this year on his misses? 6?7?

Gould is a FA right?
