Once a Generation


Enough of the whining ananlysis. Rex was brutal and kept the defense on the field far too long. The reality of the situation is that the Bears will not return to the Super Bowl for many, many years!

This century's NFL is built for parity and that leads to playoff variety. You may still see a dynasty once in a while, but its not likely. Certainly not with this incarnation of the Bears. True they overachieved, but under the tuteledge of Rex it won't happen again. First, a dynasty is built around a great QB. Think Bradshaw, Montana, Young, and Aikman. Even the devastating Bears of the 80's could only see the promise land once.

With many tatented young coaches on the move, teams like N.O. can rise quickly. Just as quickly, teams can lose players and coaches and slide like Pittsburgh. The Bears have made their generational visit to the big game. So there is no wait till next year, because free agency for both players and coaches won't allow it. We can continue to parse Rex's inability and Lovie's ignorance in backing his man, but statistics don't lie. Its just another version of one and done.

i think this might be mitigated because the nfc is so weak and the nfc north is terrible.

its quite possible that da bears won't make the playoffs next year. things change quickly and with the cheapness of the mccaskey clan, it's quite possible that they won't show lovie the lovie and he'll be gone.
