Never fool yourself into believing that what you just witnessed is the absolute lowest depth to which your team can sink. You'll be wrong every time.

I think this Cutler benching is Emery forcing Trestmans hand to try and make him the scapegoat, but that's just my hunch. They're all buffoons. They need to gut the coaching staff and fire Emery. The way that locker room and organization were handled this year was pathetic. Let's get a Todd Bowles type in here.

Oh I"m sure it's not. You'd think the back to back 50 pt games (including down 42-0 at the half against their arch-rival with a bye week to prepare) would be the lowest and they've found a new way to sink lower each week.
My question was more general, than for this week's game against the Lions. This is going to be bad for years.

I think it's either Trestman's final fuck you/hail mary since he knows he's getting fired or save him from injury for trading or to help slice off some of his guaranteed contract.
There's tons of theories out there and we won't really know for 11 more days.

That looks like the hat of that kid in grade school who kept getting his stolen at recess and thrown on the ground/stomped on. I think I see a Briggs cleat mark, actually.

Could we see our first instance of a salary dump in the NFL?

Adam Schefter wrote:Several NFL executives believe that it’s possible for Bears QB Jay Cutler to go from being benched to becoming a first-scenario, test-case trade. Never before has a team trading a player also had to give up drat-pick compensation to get rid of him. But some NFL executives believe that with any team having to absorb $25.5 million worth of guarantees in Cutler’s contract, the Bears might have to package a decent draft pick to get another team to take him. NFL rules dictate that nominal compensation must be exchanged between teams, but it could mean another team surrendering a late-round pick to Chicago for Cutler and a better pick. Such a scenario could enrage Bears fans, but to get a team to take on so much guaranteed money that could be used on valuable free agents and contract extensions, the Bears just might have to compensate a team with more than Cutler to do it.

i don't know, i still think the bears could dupe a stupid, qb hungry organization like the jets to take him in a more standard deal.

I'm currently leaning toward a scenario that involves the coaching staff and Emery being shown the door, with a new GM coming in to assess all personnel options. Some of the speculation has even mentioned some guy named Holmgren that might be interested.
The truth is no one knows outside of the FO right now. What we do know is Trestman has made a very eyebrow raising move by benching their 126 million dollar QB considering all signs point to Mark not being there next season regardless. I don't think anyone believes Clausen is going to be able to "spark" anything. He's being thrown to the wolves against Detroit, likely to preserve Jay.

I'm going to the game tomorrow to root on the Lions. Which means the Bears will win.

Actually, thanks to the Eagles losing that game might be near meaningless for the Lions. The GB game will decide the division vs wild card, of course. The only way I could concoct a way where this game would matter is if Seattle somehow loses at home against STL, and if that happened there is a way for the Lions to get the #1 seed if they win out.

Damnit, I knew I'd forget something. It still doesn't matter for the division, but there is a way that it could cost DET a first round bye.

The Lions are the worst 11-5 team in memory. Talk about smoke and mirrors. What a joke.

They should make Peanut the HC. I heard recently that the Bears have never hired an HC with previous NFL HC experience. Kinda crazy considering they're one of the oldest franchises.
