Agreed. Personally, I would leave it with Manning. Peace

I have no issues with that. We have a spot available (just IR Pisa). Peace

Changes I would make for next yr: 1 - Olsen moves to WR. Let's face it, he cannot block and I don't want to see him try anymore. Thayer was saying Kellen Davis has improved. Keep working with him and draft another blocking TE. 2 - Draft a blocking FB or get the best one on the FA market. They come cheap and can normally play well even at the twilight of their career. McKie is gone. 3 - Sign at least one o-lineman in FA. Not a project but a proven vet that is considered in the top 3 available. Draft 1 to 2 more. Get rid of Pace and get road graters. 4 - Move Williams to LT. Lose Pace. Tell Omiyale he is competing for RT (Do not simply give him the job). 5 - Ogy gone. We do not have the luxury to give him big money and he is not that good to justify it. 6 - Vasher gone. I would much rather give reps to DJ Moore or Corey Graham. 7 - Bring back Turner. I know everyone is going to hate this but I think you will have a real hard time hiring a OC for 1 yr since I think next yr will be Lovie's last. I would rather keep consistency than have Cutler and the offense go through 3 coordinators in 3 yrs. 8 - Gaines Adams works with Rusty Jones all off season and puts on 10-15 pounds. He will compete with Anderson for starting LDE. I did not mention changes in the coaching staff simply because I do not see it happening. However, you can dream... Further - please get reps for Iglesias, Moore, Gilbert, and Toenai for the rest of the season. Peace

I wouldn't go that far. There were teams under Wanny, Ditka, and Jauron that were worse. However, I will say worst OL in my lifetime. They suck donkey balls. Peace

Understood. At least it is better than when Mikey Jr. ran the show. We didn't have a GM and Mikey was an idiot. I know Angelo has killed us lately in the draft but at least the structure is in place. I see them losing the next 2 games easily and finishing 6-10. There will be a loud call for changes from the fan base. Let's hope someone is listening. BTW - I would say another brightspot was screen execution. As someone else pointed out, that was the best I have ever seen the Bears do it. Peace

Agreed on penalties. That's 19 in 2 games and that all goes back to coaching. 2 delay of games? 3 offsides on defense? What the Fxck???? I thought the ST had an above average night. Return coverage was good. Both Maynard and Gould had nice kicks. What was a bit suspect was blocking on returns. Peace

Agreed. Peace

That Omiyale had replaced Beekman on the last drive. ZZ asked him after the game why Beekman was replaced and Lovie said that was the 1st he aware of it. ZZ asked if Beekman was injured and Lovie said no. Just food for thought. Peace

...are gonna kill this team. It's gonna get ugly the next 2 weeks. Yikes. Peace

Yeah, that is an issue. Most of that is on the o-line in my opinion. Peace

Would you really care about this if they were winning? Look, this is how Lovie is. He is not going to change for us. You just have to wait until he either turns it around or is fired (more than likely the latter). Peace

He had a great game catching the ball and the blocking was very good for him (over 100 yds in receiving). The offense did do a very good job on screens tonight. I saw great blocking from Kruetz. Garza, and Bennett. Peace

I am fairly sure there were 2 seconds left on the clock when it was intercepted. If he simply throws it at someone's feet, we have 1 more play. Peace

Agreed 100%. His first int killed us. I will go as far to say that if we kick a field goal there, we win this game. That play completely changed momentum. Peace

He played a horrible game. He has no excuses. He has to do a better job protecting the ball - period. Peace

How do you throw 5 picks in one game???? Peace

They are done. Cutler killed us tonight. The defense actually played ok but they cannot dig themselves out of this hole. Way too many injuries. This is not our season. Time to see the younger players so they get game experience. Peace

You're asking for an awful lot!!!!!! Go Bears! Peace

I always record the games and can transfer to DVD if you wish. Let me know. You should still have my email address. Peace

Payne and Wolfe out for the game and other tidbits. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=6295 Peace

Exactly. Peace

Agreed 100% - thank you. Peace

Forte is starting here. Give me AP and Garrett backing him up every day over Larry. Larry is done. Peace

I agree 100%. Toub is an outstanding special teams coordinator. Keep him. Peace

NFO - thanks for the summary. I believe it is if you are on the roster for game 1. Peace
