In the aftermath of the Bears essentially bowing out of the 2015 season with Sunday’s loss to the 49ers, dropping to 5-7, should a fan re-assess the job general manager Ryan Pace did getting spare parts for the defense and the work John Fox and Vic Fangio did coaching them up this season?

Same old Bulls – in a good way.
It was fun in the preseason to talk about opening up the team’s offensive scheme. But it has proven much tougher to execute the change in real games, especially with a veteran core that has been awfully good at playing defense-first basketball for a long time now. And that was exactly the way the Bulls pulled out their 92-89 victory over the Spurs on Monday night.
