I agree with you '74. I don't give a rat's hindquarters of how we win, as long as we win. Quality opponent wins simply make for interesting banter before the game starts. The better the teams we beat, the better we look beofre kickoff. And vice versa. Sure, I'd rather us beat-down top tier teams 100-0, but I'll take a 20-19 win with a lucky bounce if that's what it takes. And this team seems to play better being an underdog anyway... This team won't go down with the all-time greats, but dammit, I just want them to win. And if they can't do that, I at least want them to show up and not embarass themselves like the Chefs did. Bear down!

It matters not to me. Whatever's easiest...

Revenge is a dish best served cold...on the banks of the big Lake!

I think you're simply rationalizing his mistakes...

Fantastic analysis Lucky! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting all that! If they aren't performing well on the Bears, they are busts for the Bears! Regarding JA, I think he can only get credit for Tommie (for about 3 season's worth...) and the jury is still out on Olsen (who's butterfingers and turnstile blocking isn't really looking worthy of a #1 pick) and Williams (who really does look like a bust, especially relating where he was drafted). Really, of that whole group, only Urlacher is worthy...everyone is either a bust, ot looks like a disappointment at best. The others: 2000 Rob Morris -? 2001 Reggie Wayne - stud 2002 Dwight Freeney - stud 2003 Dallas Clark - stud 2004 — No Pick 2005 Marlin Jackson - ? 2006 Joseph Addai - damn good 2007 Anthony Gonzalez - bust 2008 — No Pick 2009 Donald Brown - looks not good 2010 Jerry Hughes - have no idea 2001 Richard Seymour - stud 2002 Daniel Graham - stud for them 2003 Ty Warren - ? 2004 Vince Wilfork - stud 2005 Logan Mankins - stud 2006 Laurence Maroney - bust 2007 Brandon Meriweather - looks good 2008 Jerod Mayo - looks good 2009 — No Pick 2010 Devin McCourty - ? 2001 Hampton, Casey - ? 2002 Simmons, Kendall - ? 2003 Polamalu, Troy - HoF 2004 Roethlisberger, Ben - stud 2005 Miller, Heath - stud 2006 Holmes, Santonio - stud 2007 Timmons, Lawrence - good 2008 Mendenhall, Rashard - looks really good 2009 Hood, Evander - ? 2010 Pouncey, Maurkice -? I'd ray the other GM have done far better jobs than JA in drafting in the first round.

Not really groovin' on the "Abs n' Panties" look.... But a dead Favre sure helps....

Do you have ours?

Another former Bear coaching in the NFL....

I tend to agree.

I generally agree. But I don't recall the plethora of complete first round whiffs from IND, NE, or PIT...regardless if they have a QB or not. His draft record is simply not good. He's done well bringing in FA's for the most part, and has found some true hidden gems, but in the 1st and 2nd rounds, he's missed far more than he should. Guys with obvioius issues that everyone seemes to be weary of...

Of course it is. But it adds fuel to the fire for those who are not fond of JA's overall job performance here.

Sorry. I think you miss my strange sense of humor and the point of the matter. I'm fin with what Smith's done at the moment, and he's staying regardless of what I think. However, I think Angelo has had far to many big misses vs hidden gems. He needs to go. Who's the GMs for PIT and NE? They seem to be doing great jobs... Out spending everyone for Peppers does not a good GM make. Anyone could have done that. In fact, he had to do it because he whiffed so often on the D line. I give him more credit for Cutler. But, any decent GM should have made that deal and probably not given as much as we did...

That would be cool. Please post if it's done! Also, maybe with a soundtrack of "Got My Mojo Working" by Chicago bues legend, Muddy Waters!

Let's not forget, chicks dig the long ball. And in terms of football, that's flashy scoring. Unlike Tasker and Guy, who I also think deserve to be in, Hester scores. Makes a big difference... I think Hester gets in before pretty much any ST player barring the voters dislodging craniums from rectums and getting Guy in...

I hear ya!

Yeah, Taylor I don't nearly fault as much as Manumaleuseless.

Yeah. It seems as though there isn't the fear to spend. Just fans' fear of JA spending unwisely...

Seriously! Freaking year end audits...

I too am biasses, but I also think YES! He impacts so much. Even more so than Ray Guy, who I think also deserves to be in....as well as Morten Anderson. ST's are being ignored.

Yeah, some of the videos and mix were pretty bad, but the meat of the matter was still amazing to watch!

I saw so many, I thought it was all! Oh well...how about "A lot"?

So true... He was truly amazing.
