I'll take Weis, Saunders and Fassell.(in order) It would also be good to have Bates in a capacity less than OC. What's Billick up to? I kinda like him too. He seems to know what to do with a big armed mobile QB.

A poop sandwich dressed up with the best of trimmings, still tastes like poop.

Agreed, except hell no to Martz. I think he's way too full of himself to be effective anymore.

That's actually pretty damn good

Totally agree with you and Uncle Buck. I just posted the same thought on one of NFO's posts. BTW - just heard on ESPN that Marinelli will be running the D. (about 5PM)

All these moves mean, is that the McCaskey family is still firmly in charge of this team. This move reeks of ineptitude and penny pinching. They save around 8 figures by keeping these clowns and are counting on us fans to continue to sell out their stadium, buy their concessions and buy their NFL merchandise. I am boycotting all of it. If billboards, polls and paper ads are not heard from the fans, we need to make them pay by hurting their pocketbook. I'll be a fan as ususal, but the extent will be TV and internet.

If the Bears management takes the cheap, I mean gutless, I really meant stupid way out and retains Lovie and staff I want to see only two maybe three changes made. 1) Fire Pep 2) Fire Harry Where's Turner you ask? I keep him. Kill me all you want, but hear me out. We all know Lovie is a lame duck, so whoever the new OC is, is lame duck as well. Also, as our OL began to gell our O started to produce. We all know it's too much too little and too late, but can a new OC deliver dramatic success in one year. People bring up up Martz: we all need to realize his playbook is complex and can not be mastered in a year. Also, look at his track record with Detroit and SF.(not good) So, I weigh the option of another year of Turner or running someone's partial offense. My votr goes to 100% of the Turner offense vs 75% of a new offense. New DC you ask? Do we really ever think it will be anything else than Lovie's D? If Lovie was given a mandate to let his new DC have complete controll over the D, I would accept someone new. Otherwise, Lovie placed his head on the block and I'd rather it stay there untill he is done. Personnel is another topic. Fire away all...

"There is a lot wrong with the whole organization, but it is not Lovie,'' Kreutz said. That was enough for me to shut Olin off. I wish one of the oversized boxing gloves would have shot out of the wall and slobberknocked him when he said that. Lovie has a lot to do with the talent on the field and how that talent performs when on the field. Moreso than Angelo. Lovie has lost IT.

I would actually put more picks into the O. I would draft a RB, FB, OG and OT.(in no particular order) That's 4 for the offense. Maybe get a good FB in FA. Who knows.

Please tell me they called holding on that play...

OMG! They are at 81% of goal already. Give give give!!!

Wouldn't you just throw something through your TV?...

I love it! This team / season has made you a combination of the Randy Quaid character in "Major League" and the one and only Terra Tor. AZ54 posted a possible 2010 boycott of the beloved. I may follow suit, rooting from afar and definately not spending any coin. I honestly don't know who sucks worse, Lovie or Angelo. It all goes to Chicken V Egg on whether it's coaching or lack of talent. I want it all blown up. I'm even regretting the Cutler trade to a certain degree.

Also with the Bears, it's all about money. I'm sure the family sees paraphinalia sales dropping in comparison to other teams. It all depends on the numbers and projected numbers if they raise hopes by firing Lovie. Remember as well, they probably won't have to eat Lovie's whole contract. He'll more than likely negotiate a settlement so he can coach elsewhere. He's definately not broadcast booth material.

Wait a bit. Coach Caldwell said he will let everyone know what his plan is with Manning and the rest of the starters. Good luck.

He essentially called the team out in just about every way you can. Angelo and Lovie have to to go... Defense has lost it's desire... All about getting paid... Talked about players woofin before the game and then not giving effort. Loves Cutler, says he'd start a team with him... Want the staff to give Cutler his own playbook, says he's running Rex's old plays. Talked about how Buddy Ryan was forced on Ditka by Halas as a result of a meeting Alan Page and another team leader. (descision was made b4 previous coach was fired) Says his knees feel great... It just seemed like he's clear thinking and lucid. Not like the other rants we've heard in the past. He really is a sharp guy tolisten to. I hope you find a way to listen. It's about 15 minutes.

http://www.1070thefan.com/dakich/podcast.aspx?pn=3 Scroll down to the inteview from 12-03-09. Talk about a DL coach. He was a little off on his Tomlin comments, but I agree I loved it.

It would be nice to be able to get a 2nd for ea of the following: Url, Hester and Harris. At that point I would cut Pace, Omiyale, Kruetz and Vasher. Use those 2nds to draft ROT, ROG and DT. Likely not, but one could dream of a quick OL build.

We can only hope he was hedging. Let me add one more item to our favor. I think Lovie would settle with the Bears for less than he is slated to make so he can get out of the contract. Lovie is still employable in this league and would rather work than sit home for two years.

Quick question: How did Williams play last week? I misssed the game.

Or lord Cowher...

Lovely

That's why Olsen stays put. You can equate his value as to when teams would rather kick the ball out of bounds than to kick it to Hester. Olsen brings a special talent and as long as he is drawing interest running routes, I don't give a shit how he blocks. If he's drawing interest in space, he's thrown an indirect block by drawing said interest. Same with Wolfe. It's the ineptitude of our coaching and OL that have rendered him ineffective in the stat category.

Guy, it's Biggs not Briggs. As far as the Pace comments goes; I think Pompei summed it up when he said Pace was one on one with Allen for 17 pass plays ans Allen disrupted 10 of them. That is horrendous. Maybe Biggs is claiming Pace was injured in warmups. Regardless, it was and still is an idiot comment.

Gotta say I agree with all points with the exception of: 1st - Never be embarrassed of who you root for. That's what being a fan is all about. You go through tough times. I've been a fan since Dad bought me the full Bears uniform back in 72". I was Sayers BTW and big bro was 51. Wear your midnight blue and orange with pride!!! 2nd- I really gotta call you out on the OL comment. Most on this board wanted to draft the hell out of OL the last couple of years and you commented on how ridiculous this was for us to want to spend our high picks on OL. Now you say we throw our highest pick away and mention how the OL sucks. You are now in direct contradiction with yourself or two years behind most of the board. Welcome back to reality. Quite frankly, when I see you post, I know you know football. But this post lets me know you can be a valuable contributor on this board, if you get away from the one sentence slams and structure some meaningful commentary. Keep up the good work and deliver us some posts on how you would fix this team!
