Kenneth, Your points are valid. I guess my only defense is frustration will do this to a man…thanks for reading.

I feel it’s unfair to Jerry Angelo to saddle him with the record of the 90′s McCaskey Bears. Since he took over in 2001 (right?), the Bears have had 4 winning seasons and 4 losing seasons. The Packers have had 5 winning seasons, 2 losing ones and an 8-8. And the Vikings have had 3 winning seasons, 3 losing ones, and 2 8-8s. So, I mean, it’s not like we’ve been blown out of the water. Our lows have been lower, but our highs higher (the Vikings have not won more than 10 games in that time, for example).

I’m not saying that Angelo needs to be kept or has done a good job, but I think you’re distorting the record. Certainly, he’s much better than Mike McCaskey.

Roy, great work pulling all of this together, and as always, right on point. All this background clearly validates the incompetence with which this organization has consistently operated for nearly two decades. We all see it, yet the McCaskey cast of clowns continues to be allowed to operate this dysfunctional mess with little public criticism except by way of the people who care the most — loyal fans. I’ve heard it mentioned publicly many times how much the McCaskey’s supposedly care about winning. If that were even remotely true, we would not be having this discussion now.

Forget 1985 and the fact we went to the Super Bowl in 2007, which was a mirage. The fact is the hierarchy of this organization is clueless, and it’s infuriating because because in Philly, NY, New England, etc., they would have never be allowed to get away with this garbage for this long. As Roy points out, the Packers have completely retooled their defense in less than a year, which is now statistically the best in the entire league. For all of the football illiterate morons in Lake Forest, that statement alone is just cause to jettison Angelo, Lovie and everyone else out of here once and for all — and STOP any talk of eating the money. Just get them out now, and start over. I’ve been told there were many empty seats Sunday. Hopefully that keeps up the last 2 home dates and at least they will be hit with some concession and parking revenue loss. While the Packers are on the rise again, we are stuck with a roster full of garbage, incompetent management and leadership, and a smug head coach/D-Coordinator with one of the worst units and defensive philosophies in the entire league. The story angle here is not hard to follow, and the media should be all over this.

After the Packers lost twice to the Vikings this season the fans did nothing but blame their GM and called for his head. I at the time just laughed reading comments like that and said they should be glad they dont have the Bears ownership.

I guess you can say the Bears had their moments from 1984-1991 making the playoffs 7 times and making 3 NFC Title Games and winning 1 Super Bowl. During that time the Vikings and Packers both struggled, though the Vikings had 3 playoff appearances, but the Packers were rather horrid during that time frame.

To me, its almost like this team is related to the Cubs beyond the name and decides to play and be managed just like each other. To me the names even play into it, as the Bears are the bigger guys they have better success while the Cubs are the little guys and never do anything.
