I ask you met -- and I'll start with you how stunned are you that they made this decision and made it so quickly. Well that that. Essentially say that because because this is was made that quickly I think who's been made for a lot what you want to hear community Martin who can be possible and I'm not surprised is pro sports and you're not talking upon last night Jeff Fisher. Great football coach -- -- Tennessee. Punishments are very good football coach isn't coaching curiously his players love -- it was time for change we have a new GM. If that's who want their own coach Claude. New York. I definitely would you start off to show talking about was the opens. Some wolves that they've stroll through through the years. And I think that kind of you know I thought what we did a great job as. The defense of guys the defense of mine and everything like that but I think word might -- them. Was all we had cordon in the offense because it took them a step back and you go to different coordinators you can't find the right guy they would -- found that right guy. You know maybe after Ron Turner. And I think they would have been okay. He should ahead of those guy and he's exactly playtime in the league good to know people know who wants to bring and he had control he had no excuses 52 and 44 his last six years he had. -- on the second year third. The last six he's just been a treadmill and you know I give the Bears a lot of credit though for doing that today. Very classy that Lovie Smith had a chance to talk to the whole team today. You know as opposed to let everybody go to the wind and then -- you know two or three days from now you just put out a press release of 5 o'clock one night. I think they handled that the right was.

But I commend them comfortable hate if you go out there you get in the playoffs you brought Simpsons go in -- like you got whooped. When you were not so much in order to go Monday Night Football that I can understand that people still but. I think still. If you give in I thought maybe they still might have had a chance to do something that they rectified some problems but did I look at the Detroit game. And they were terrible again offensively. You play with a sense of urgency that this game means everything they won the game yes. But that offense that I saw against Detroit they weren't gonna win in the playoffs. Now I think you should know by halftime and moved them taveras to score forty points -- Sunday measly. The ship with the Lions away at halftime lines were quick reminder that we seventeenth you don't want to finally do it -- policies and -- But -- -- -- lines stated panic out Colts at the end and not America phils sent me it's for good this in this league is all while winning Gonzalez -- -- did a great coaches and GMs -- fired. It's -- the production isn't there. And these owners are very quick to make changes and we have a new general manager to give you the GM of the team kept a journal five year deal -- -- you want you wanna get your own guy and there to a mutual -- -- get -- posted.
