How does Jim Caldwell still have a job?!?!?
Because he doesn't work for the Bears? Jerry Angelo (GM) firedMike Martz (offensive coordinator) resigns before they can fire him, tooTo his credit, the Bears have an overall winning record under Angelo. And they went to their first Super Bowl since 1985. But he was a terrible drafter. Most of his good moves were with trades and free agency. Cutler's injury made it starkly obvious how bad things are in Chicago. The Bears were 7-3 with Cutler, and finished 8-8 without him, with that final win coming against the even-more-pathetic Vikings. The local sports talkers have been using the phrase "bare cupboard" a lot. Martz. He needs to find a team where the personnel can actually perform his offense. Either that or develop his offense into something that doesn't require a perfect roster to run it effectively. Good luck to both men. |

According to pft the main reasons are 1) he's respected by his players and 2) that if Manning returns they wouldn't want to change their whole offense to fit a new coach's when they have a hall of famer QB with a mastery of their current system 3) replacing the Polians is taking a higher priority The 50%+ winning percentage with Dungy's leftovers and a future hall of fame qb who runs the offense (to such a degree that he can even make substitutions after lining up and reading a defensive scheme) isn't as telling as the 2-14 performance without that QB On another note: Angelo and Martz are gone from the Bears Organization  |

I'm pretty sure a cardboard cutout of Jim Caldwell could coach in place of Jim Caldwell.

How can you be sure that wasn't the case? |

Sounds like Bears ownership made the right moves. Lovie Smith and Cutler aren't the problem. Jim Caldwell...I'm sorry but every time they show him he has a face like he ordered steak and got shrimp.

Caldwell has to go, I mean come on. The man hasn't uttered a single word in the last 2 or 3 years. Pretty sure he is functionally mute. It's tough to run a football team that way. Heh. As much as I don't like the Cowboys, I can't bring myself to dislike Romo directly. Not sure why that is.
Maybe you just can't help having the teensiest but of respect/envy towards a guy who shagged Jessica Simpson? You know, I think that's it exactly. Pretty sure he drilled Carrie Underwood too, which is nothing to throw a stick at. |

The only reason I hate Romo is because he plays for the Cowboys, who I also hate.

Why would Jim Caldwell need to speak when he has a coach playing QB?  |

Indeed. Only that doesn't work when your current QB used to be your jock strap passer outer. The only reason I hate Romo is because he plays for the Cowboys, who I also hate.
Wait....don't you live in Texas? I mean, I know there is another team there, but I thought loving the Cowboys required by your state's constitution. Along with owning weapons and loving your cousins. |

Maybe ghost is just hopeful for a San Antonio expansion team. Or at least one that isn't in the CFL USA.

I live in Texas but I'm not from here. I grew up a Patriots and Jets fan, but I'm not a huge fan of any team. I don't like the Cowboys and never really have.

If you are talking about the Yahoo one, no. I poked around there for 20 minutes yesterday and never found anything for the playoffs |

Cool.
It looks like Mr Digits is going to win. I'm not happy about that, as I've never lost a pick 'em league before. That combined with my terrible Fantasy finish, and I am not thrilled with my football prediction abilities this year.

The refs in position to see the actual drop weren't the ones blowing the whistle too. If Detroit loses by 7 or less that call will be like the infamous Brady one in the snow. |

This is bullshit. Just give the Lions a fair shake refs. Helmet hit, generous spot for first down, Brees pulls the ball back on 4th down and still gets 1st down. All in favor of the Saints.

The Brees dive was a good call, the previous one was a Pac12 ref spot though. |

Or catch balls thrown right into their hands by Brees. |

As a Lions fan I don't think they deserved to win, but that was some shady officiating.

Officiating wasn't great, but the Lions couldn't tackle, or stop the Saints.
