Everyone in the known universe is complaining about the Chicago Bears game last night.
We got…
Phantom penalties.
Shoddy quarterback play down the stretch.
No juice from our kicker.
A reach in the 4th round on a punter.
No starting corners.
Weak at tackle.
Referee collusion.
Bad stadium.
Tough schedule.
Too many tight ends.
Too much fancy coaching.
And on and on the list goes from last night. A full offseason removed from improving our situation all to lead us right back to square one: Jabroni City, population you and me.
It’s comfortable territory at this point but that’s before I got whiff of that fuckin goal line.
I understand working at the Chicago Park District means you get to booze around the clock but is it too much to ask to get the fuckin survey guys on the scene before MNF?
These guys are all over Chicago. Seemingly at every major intersection across the city from May through September each and every year. Probably collecting a pension. Probably on the take from a local alderman. Probably just as loaded as the park district guys eyeballing the endzone.
But at least they have precise equipment.
You know what this is?
This is inexcusable slop that I thought we moved on from when Eberflus got canned.
This is the kind of attention to detail that speaks to one hundred and fifty fucking yards of penalties Week 1.
So we’ll get to the bad play and calls and letting JJ McCarthy walk it down our throats and out of our asses and all the hardcore X’s and O’s.
But right now I need to start with the most obvious area of improvement and that’s lining the endzones on gameday. If we can’t do that right then we don’t deserve to host home games in the NFL much less a brand new stadium in Arlington that’s got $10B worth of economic value attached to it. Or some bullshit like that.
Sounds great to be honest… Of course I want world class facilities to host a Super Bowl, etc.
But let’s get the lines figured out first. Before we even touch on snap count.
Somebody. Anybody. Have some pride and draw a straight line for fucksake.
This shit is actually getting embarrassing.
