The year was 2013 and the Chicago Bears were coming off a 10-6 season. Unfortunately, they still finished third in the NFC North and missed the playoffs. This was the year the Bears front office made the drastic decision to fire Lovie Smith despite a winning season. Phil Emery was the General Manager at the time and he tried buying himself more time with the move.
Emery also envisioned a more productive offense and hired Marc Trestman to shake things up and coach the team in 2013. This brings us back to when I became a lifelong fan of Kyle Long and the goodbye from this city and fans that I feel Long deserves.
