Connorbear

You and I both know he will be with us this yr and next. If nothing improves, he will be fired after next season. Peace

There are no more excuses to be made. The Bears mishandled the clock on offense at the end of the first half. Good move to see what rookie Chris Williams had when the game was out of reach. Bad move to not have either Caleb Hanie or Earl Bennett active. There was nothing to learn from seeing Grossman on the field at the end. There is nobody at Halas Hall I will believe that can tell me Earl Bennett doesn’t deserve to see as many snaps as Marty Booker. Nobody. Don’t insult our intelligence anymore. The Packers are yet another team that was able to chew up healthy chunks of yardage against the soft coverage the Bears continue to provide. Kerry Collins completed 73 percent of his passes last week. Aaron Rodgers completed 77 percent of his throws this week. Is anybody paying attention to what’s happening out there? The line between stubbornness and stupidity was crossed several weeks ago. What’s it going to take to make a change? The atrocious defensive play is a waste of talent. Charles Tillman is a big, physical cornerback. Playing him 7 yards off the line is a waste. Other teams will put more bodies on one side of the line than there are blockers to free someone up on a blitz. It’s math, Mr. Babich. On this day, there was no saving grace. No crutch to lean on saying the run defense held (Tennessee). No raft of interceptions to bail out the porous secondary (Minnesota). This thing is broken. On this day, the special teams weren’t that special. The offense was offensive. It was time for the defense to man up. Yet another letdown. There is still time. They have six games to play and are tied with two other teams atop the NFC North at 5-5. The time to make a change was this week. He who hesitates is lost. GRADE: F This says it all. Perhaps the worst coached game I have seen since the Wanny era. As the 3rd string QB, Hanie could have (and should have played). Thanks for the summary. Now I am going to go and throw up. Peace

Babich is one of his close friends. I can't imagine that happening. I could see Lovie taking over the playcalling with Babich as a figurehead (this would be kept private as Lovie will want to try not to embarass his friend). Peace

Briggs - best player on defense Payne - has shown promise but need to plays SS. Brown - has lost a step but still sticks on tackles. Orton - has shown promise Forte - very impressive Olsen - growing into the role Some of the younger players look ok. Can go: Harris - I think his contract is rather easy to get out of. He has clearly lost that first step which is his most valuable asset. Further, he has become a complete drill rod. Get rid of him. Lloyd - I'd rather see Bennett play Booker - Hasn't looked the same for weeks. I'd rather promote Riddeau. Vasher - play Graham Ogy - too expensive for the production Url - unless he can somehow turn it around. Of course, he is also a complete drill rod. Anderson - trade him to a team that plays the 3, 4 defense. DB coach Babich Peace

So your saying that Lovie should have been fired after the SB with Chico getting the job??? Gonna disagree with you on that. We can obviously see now that Chico should have been kept but Lovie was exercising the power that he had earned by his team's performance. Lovie took the team to the SB for the first time in 20 yrs. They didn't win but the did make it. Players and coaches are rewarded in the NFL for production. Now Angelo needs to sit Lovie down and tell him that Babich has to go. Peace

I can definately see this happening. Babich is in way, way over his head. Turner had his first bad game of the yr. I knew there would be no way to win if we didn't run at least 30 times. Forte was averaging 4 yds a carry yet we ran 1 time in the 3rd quarter. Peace

Not gonna happen at this time. Hopefully, Angelo steps in and demands Lovie makes a change but it won't be this yr. Unfortunately for us, we need them to figure it out or we are stuck with it for now. Peace

It was a great interview. Wonder where Tommie was? Didn't want to get in front of a microphone? What a tool. Peace

I'm back in. Everyone jump in!!! Peace

Why give cushion on the endzone????? How many times do we have to give up a TD on that play before a change is made????? Peace

Pass defense continues to suck. We give up way too much cushion. Peace

Yes

Just waiting for you guys to jump in. Peace

Pack is running it down our throat. Ugh!!! Peace

Very interesting. http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/ Peace

Good to hear. You are more than welcome. Stay safe. Peace

We need to run the ball 35 times to win this game. Keep Rodgers off the field. Forte 26 rushes 120 yds 1 TD Jones 10 rushes 40 yds 1 defensive TD Bears 24 Pack 21 Peace

Will be happy once he is on the field. Peace

Did you get the games I sent you? Would have been about 3 weeks ago. Peace

I could definately see this happening. But if Babich goes, I bet love pushes for Marinelli if he is available (which leads us back to the cover 2). Peace

Nice summary - thanks. I heard only part of the interview. Here is the reality. Lovie will be here for at least another yr. The McCaskey's are not going to pay him 18 million to walk plus the cost of a new coach. Let's hope he figures this out before it all falls apart around him. Peace

I have no issues with that. Peace

That was outstanding. Would love to watch football with someone like Thayer to have them break down the game. Amazing. Peace

My opinion - see if this guy can straighten out. He now has a 7 game tryout. If not, no loss. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...mully12.article Peace
