Good point. Actually the Cardinals lost a number of starters earlier in the season too, and have had to fight through the attrition all season long. All the more reason to see Bruce Arians as the NFL coach of the year. They lost linebackers Daryl Washington and John Abraham at the beginning of the season (Washington to suspension), and DT Darnell Dockett in TC. Then they lost about the only running threat they had in Andre Ellington several games ago and have been functioning without much a running attack at all this month. Still they've been tough. Last night's game seemed to suggest that the attrition had finally caught up with them.KnowItAll wrote:whoever win the sb will do so because the cards lost two QBs.

It seems to me that Trestman hubris has led to his downfall.South Pender wrote:More speculation about the Bears:

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler’s predictions regarding the team’s future could end up being a lot more accurate than many of his passes this year.
Cutler recently acknowledged that “everyone could get axed.” There’s chatter in league circles that that could indeed be the case.
By “everyone,” the scuttlebutt includes everyone. From coach Marc Trestman to G.M. Phil Emery to team president Ted Phillips, who has held the position for nearly 16 years.
Cutler could still stay, depending on who gets the coaching job going forward. With Mike Shanahan, who traded up to draft Cutler nearly nine years ago, making it clear that he wants to get back into the NFL, Shanahan becomes the obvious pick to try to turn Cutler around — if ownership decides not to bite the bullet on the millions still owed to Cutler under the contract negotiated by Emery or to give Cutler away to another team to avoid paying the money.
Regardless, big changes could be coming in Chicago after one of the worst seasons the franchise has endured.

I'm sorry to see this happen to Marc Trestman. Seems like a high-quality guy, but may lack the gravitas, authority, and toughness to be HC of an NFL team.

On the other hand, the franchise wasn't dysfunctional when Lovie Smith left it prior to the 2013 season. The dysfunction has set in during Trestman's tenure there, particularly during the 2014 season.Sir Purrcival wrote:Kind of sucks for Trestman. He is better than his record shows and that franchise seems pretty dysfunctional to turn around in two seasons.
