Pardon My Take
Deep Dive
Why has Big Cat decided to never get over excited about the Chicago Bears again?
Big Cat decided to never get over excited about the Chicago Bears again because the team's poor performance, especially their recent embarrassing loss on Monday Night Football, has shown that the organization's structural and foundational issues remain unresolved. He was misled by a superficial improvement (like a new paint job on a decaying house) and does not want to be disappointed repeatedly.
What is the Bears' biggest problem this season?
The Bears' biggest problem this season is their offensive line, which has been significantly worse than expected, leading to poor protection for the quarterback and a lack of consistency in their offense. The defense has also struggled, particularly without Iberflues, and the overall organizational issues, including a lack of attention to detail and a non-serious management style, have compounded these problems.
Why does Big Cat believe the Bears need a complete organizational overhaul?
Big Cat believes the Bears need a complete organizational overhaul because the current owners, specifically George McCaskey, are not committed to winning or running the organization correctly. The team has shown no sustained progress, and there is a lack of power and influence among key personnel like Ryan Poles and Kevin Warren, who have been unable to make the necessary changes.
Why is the transfer portal in college football problematic according to Kirk Herbstreit?
