Who cares if its AP or AD or any other 2 letter combination you want to throw in. He has OWNED us since he has come into the league. I could see Cutler throwing for 300+ yards have 2 TD's but 3 INT's as we lose 31-24.

I think that is even giving Turner to much credit. I would have to question if he even attends the class. If he does attend he has no excuses for this mess. I blame the Offensive Line but I blame his coaching alot as well. Because even with a pourus line like we have there are things that you do that he never does. He obviously does not know what to do with the skill set that Cutler and Co bring.

If you look at the stats our offense is actually better but the MAJOR problem is the 18INT's. I don't care who the fault of the INTs are but that is the problem compared to last season.

I love the idea about getting Bates as Offensive Coordinator. The other reason that I don't see Lovie going and us picking up Cowher or Shanahan is because this franchise has NEVER hired a coach with previous experience.

I am not sure if he mount to much, but the biggest problem right now is that this current coaching staff has no idea how to utilize a players talents. You make a point that he is 5'6" and 175 lbs. That means I have 4 inches on him and he only weighs 15 lbs more. So what this current coaching staff wants to do is run up the middle. "Twigs" dont belong running up the middle. They tried use the screen last year but Orton was always over throwing him.

I am doing well except in 1 league. My work league i am 2-9. lol. Doesn't matter what moves I make they just seem to be wrong. However, in my other ESPN league I am in 2nd place and i am the only team to defeat the 1st place team. In my NFL league I am sitting in 1st place despite the fact that I have alot of Bears, even the defense. In our Yahoo Keeper league through this site I am in 2nd place standing at 8-3 and get a huge matchup this week with Devil Dogs who is 9-2.

Wow, is it getting deep in here I think we will need a bulldozer to get out of this one lol.

Yes that is correct. But now that I think about it I like your way best. Like I would probably want to keep Ced Benson, which I drafted him in the 11th rd this year and I would be willing to give up a 10th for him but probably not a 1st for him. The only player on my that I would give up a 1st for is Chris Johnson obviously.

Now that is one hell of a wet dream lol.

But it would be a good band aid lol

In the one keeper league that I was in we could keep between 0-2 keepers. If you kept 2 you would not a draft choice until the 3rd round. If you kept 1 you would start drafting in the 2nd round.

It would be a little late Christmas present since Lovie and Co won't be fired prior to the season ending but I wouldn't complain.

There is also a report in the Chicago Tribune that Mike Martz has his on eye Jay Cutler. http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/da-bears-b...un-offense.html

I like your idea for payout. I would like to see us keep 2 picks and I agree that you can't keep your 1st round draft choice. Makes things interesting.

Please please please. I will get down and my hands and knees and pray and kiss his shoes.

Yup, lets hope my players show and play like they have all year. I am more worried about playoff time then this coming week. I do have a nice cushion. I am kinda wondering what is going on with Keepers and Payouts. Do you know if anything has been made official.

Don't forget im the hottest in the league with like 5 straight wins.

Quick tell Pix I have a great mind. lol

The 1 thing that I was wondering is that Yes Cutler should have made a much better throw but in almost everyone of those passes Cutler at least put it close. Why didn't any of the receivers DIVE to get the ball. Yeah it doesn't get a you a Touchdown, however its a nice catch, they good on ESPN, lol but more importantly its a 1st down.

I don't know how many times I have watched a game where I see Breaston and Boldin do quick routes and even send the RB(however is in at the time) out to the flat as more of a check down receiver as well. This helps Warner out tremendously and makes sure that he doesn't get beat up.

I agree with you. Arizona does have much better WR's that makes things look easier but you just said it, about only having 1 run a quick route. Down in Arizona they have several players do a quick route while a 1 or maybe 2 go deep.

I watch every ND game and he is the one that calls the plays. When he first got there Clausen was talented but not very good and now the offense is explosive with Tate, Clauson and Floyd. The Oline isn't very good there either but he spreads it out and constantly uses 3 and 4 options to go out. Usually sending 1 deep while leaving the others in just in case Clausen doesn't have time. It also helps that his TE is 6'7.

Honestly I don't see it happening at all because we just got done extending his contract not that long ago.

I am not sure what you could get for him either but I mentioned Oakland because Al davis loves speed and he has overspent on speed guys before. I also mentioned Washington because they are notoriously overspending on players all the time.

A good coordinator would no what to do if the oline wasn't blocking well. I refer to Arizona where the Oline isn't very good so Arizona calls alot of 3 step drops and gets the ball out of Warner's hands ASAP.
