Let the excuses begin

Well, the game's not over yet, but you are underestimating this fan bases' ability to make excuses. 

They are coming and I, for one, look forward to reading them!! 

oline is bad and coaches get out coached nearly every week 

I'll start by eating some Crow. Treadwell is a total bust. Spielman thinking Remmers would be a good or even serviceable Guard was sheer stupidity. Zimmer stopped improving as a Head Coach.

Chicago is better.  The Vikings don't have more talent than the Bears.  The Vikings OLine is still bad, and that's the main reason they lost.  That, and Cousins isn't a very good QB under pressure.  Not the leader we hoped.

Seriously? #1 Defense from last year added a 1st Round Draft Pick AND the best DT available in FA.

Offense got a guy who consistently puts up Top 10 stats at QB. Got their #1 RB back after finishing Top 10 in rushing the previous year when he only played 3 games. Added a #2 pick to the O-Line. Added a #3 WR that had familiarity with the new QB inseason. Signed an all time type kikcker inseason.

That's a loaded Roster by anyone's estimation.

Should have never have come to this. Shit our pants at home vs Buffalo, blew it vs Packers with 3 missed FGs.

I'm willing to give Zimmer and Spielman do or die ultimatums for 2019 season - playoff wins or you're both gone and we clean house.  I think  cousins will be the albatross that ends their careers.  

Zim is great as a DC but he has yet to prove he has any clue about the offense and as a HC judging by his revolving door of OC's with the same results despite Thielen, Diggs, Cook, Murray and Rudolph at skill positions.

If you think the roster is loaded then I don't know why you'd can the g.m. who built it.   But be that as it may, it seems like Zimmer is a good d.c. but can't get a team up for a big game as a h.c. must.   I'm not sure what they do about that.   You fire him you could end up in a worse position.   Tough call for the organization right now.

The Bears dominated on both sides of the ball. They punched us in the mouth and we never responded. You are not going to win too many games if your OLine is below average at best. If you can't protect your QB in a pass first league, you have no chance. Our defensive line was exposed all year by teams that could run the ball effectively. Richardson and Joseph did not create the force in the middle I thought they would and once again we could not get off the field on 3rd down letting Trubisky escape time after time only to find an open receiver. Something is just off with this team. They have never been in sync all year. 

Getting real tired of hearing about the loaded roster when they have the worst offensive line in the NFL.  If it isn't the worst it is close.

There's no excuses.  From early season on, I...and many others...have singled out this offensive line as one of the worst ever seen on a supposed playoff caliber team.  Compton and Remmers routinely get beat like rented mules. O'Neill is a bright spot but the others are a 3rd string mish-mash of no names.

From Pop Warner football to the NFL pros...you build a team from the inside (offensive & defensive lines) out and games are won or lost in the trenches.

Love and respect all you all but you can't pin missing the playoffs on having two bad Guards and excuse everything else.

If they were solely responsible for this season's results then Zimmer should be fired for not ordering either of his OCs to bench them.

The 2017 team was fun to watch.  The 2018 was not unless they were playing a nobody (not named Buffalo).
Expectations were low in 2017 which made it fun and expectations were high in 2018 which made it painful to watch.

My opinion is continuity is going to get you where your going to be, in order successful.  The loss of Shurmur, timing of Sparano death, Flip and the qb decisions got us here.  Best hope this off-season gives our TEAM a really good shot for 19.  I am not ready to give up on the potential for a team lead by Spielman, Zimmer just yet.  They are intelligent folks, this ain't a team funded by Red, coached by bargain value, simple solution coaches, looking for me too solutions.  Success is just trying one more time than you fail, and knowing when to adapt.
