Fire Trestman, Bench Cutler and Thank God for the Blackhawks: What You Said After Bears Lose 55-14 to Packers
With the Bears season going sideways, Patch Facebook fans opened fire after the Bears lost to the Packers on Sunday Night Football.

Aaron Rodgers threw six touchdown passes to tie the Green Bay game record and match the NFL record for a half, and the Packers routed the reeling Chicago Bears 55-14 on Sunday night. Bears players after the game questioned their confidence in themselves.
Fans are calling for head coach Marc Trestman to be fired and QB Jay Cutler to be benched. The hosts on NBC’s Sports Sunday post-game show ranted that Cutler seems not to care he lost the game, and Dan Hampton called the Bears a “ship of fools.”
Here’s what Patchers had to say Sunday night on Facebook about the nationally televised embarrassment.

Paula Howland Cree, Naperville: The Bears are just embarrassing tonight..They should have gotten on the bus at half time and headed south! They need to fire Trestman, and Emory, and Cutler..and on and on.....What a joke this game is....They had two weeks to get ready for this game..and this is what they come up with? Totally unacceptable for sure!
Angela Churilla, Naperville: It’s an embarrassment on national television, which is why I opted for the Blackhawks game - a choice I would’ve made anyway!

Dana Pyzik, Oak Lawn: Jay, you have thousands of Bears fans who would be more than happy to help you write your letter of resignation.
Cheryl Host, Palos: I’ve seen better college football.
Rose Doyiakos, Skokie: Chicago raised. BUT a Packer fan. Yay me
Brian Heneghan, Glen Ellyn: I can’t keep it clean enough
Sue Sage, Crystal Lake: Bummer. I thought the BEARS would come out stronger.
Brian Jones, Bolingbrook: We should fire QB, defensive coordinator, head coach and upper Management. They have all let us down.
Geraldine Reynolds, Elmhurst: Will someone PLEASE get rid of the current QB’s
Jeff Matz, Beverly-Mt. Greenwood: There was a football game tonight? Was busy watching the Hawks...you know...the only organization in town that knows how to win consistently.
Tracie Mary, Evergreen Park: They don’t deserve being called a professional football team!
Meggan O’Brien Pope, Tinley Park: Fire them all. Most pathetic thing I have ever watched!
Faye Peterson Parise, New Lenox: It’s not worth watching the games.
Jeff Allen Ward, Plainfield: Thank god I play fantasy football! Otherwise, this season would just suck! Im jumping on the Detroit bandwagon this season! Im just done with this horrible team this year
David Klinger, Orland Park: A joke. Chicago went from a football city to a Hockey city.
Erik Bloecks, Western Springs: I don’t feel anything anymore... I drank quite a lot of alcohol tonight.
Joanne Brown Robertson, Tinley Park: They need HELP - something or someone has got to change - Coach or quarterback. Just saying
Bonnie Stockton, Plainfield: Cutler and the coach should have been fired at half time. What an embarrassment this team has become. Either hire a quarterback who is not a total loser and a coach that can get the decent players playing or take the whole franchise and shut it down. Illinois deserves better than this bunch of losers. All the decent players just want out of this team. And who can blame them. I am not a Bears fan under these circumstances. It is ridiculous.
