IF they do I want to see Ken Whisenhunt slam the podium and say "they are who we thought they were" Though the impact would be less effective as everyone outside of the Bears knows this team is bad.

three TD receptions by Olsen!!!

Warner can't come back in. He didn't leave due to injury. he was sat because of the blow out. They are stuck with Leinart The announcers don't know what they are talking about... as usual

Way to go Zack

What do you know... pass interference on the defense when the receiver is pushing off...

.... only three 4th Quarter TD's away We can......... oh hell never mind

not to blame the officiating as the Bears have sucked.. But when you have to overcome your own stupidity and the officiating it's simply insult to injury. Still a little miffed about the officials waving off a false start simply because two guys jumped... wtf is that? Holy crap we found the end zone!

delay of game... is that the first penalty of the day on Arizona?

Too little too late for the defense.... should have done something like this while you were giving up 30+ points

hey someone actually wrapped up... give him a cookie

and now they call holding..... F....... BS Dansby tackled him

I get tired of hearing them talk about Jay's stats and the Bears woes and The sucess of Orton... I like Orton don't get me wrong but Denver is playing out of their minds defensively. and he hasn't had much put on his shoulders. But that to me is an example of a team that has a clue how to tailor at team to the players they have.

nice to see that Chromartie can be draped over Hester no call.. hell their DBs can rape our WR's and no call and we get flagged for being upset.... Unbelievable.

our best defensive play so far.... the errant pass

The opponents offensive escort service is at it again.

the odds aren't good for that but I think we will see one punt but probably not till the final moments of the game when they are just trying to run clock and no longer focussed on scoring at will.

same boat here as well. I think it's because we've moved beyond doubt and denial and are accepting this team sucks and actually think the crowd should spend the entire second half booing as loudly as they can non stop till the final whistle. The Bears are soo bad it is amusing a in a sick way. A defense who has talked big the last few years but in that stretch has been in rapid decline and has yet to back it up on the field. We must scrap this Cover 0 defense we run. The defense has no leadership at all. On the play that Tommie is loosing his head there's Alex Brown just standing there doing nothing..... how about pull your teammate away and try to get him under control..... nope let him do something stupid, draw a 15 yarded and be ejected. Players in position to make a tackle but only make a token effort to get a hand on the ball carrier.

And the sad part of that is that we are actually having success running... now we can't afford to. Now I fear DBDB's prediction may come to fruition... Jay is going to need to throw, and throw, and throw, and throw some more....

our defense would get shredded by their practice squad...... beyond pathetic. No discipline, no tackling, no heart, no effort, no brains, no creativity, ...... I seriously have to ask do the Bears actually tackle in practice or is it two hand tap? That is what the defense looks to be playing. No one seems to be even attempting to wrap up, as if they don't even understand the concept. I'm no longer going to call it a defense... from here on I will refer to it as the opponent's offensive escort service where we willingly escort you to the end zone. So.... Mr Smith are you happy about where we are at now. I'll be happy when you are sent the hell away from this team. I'm sick of watching an uninspired team bring new meaning to the word suck week in and week out. The offense has looked marginally better but still.... only 7 points and we are inside 2 min left in the half. Oh and take Tommie "Dumbass" Harris with you.... how stupid is this guy? There are some bad calls and bad no calls but the Bears are doing it to them selves.. This is every bit as putrid an effort as the Bengals game. Blocked FG that should have been tackled inside the 5 and we miss 20 tackles and set them up at the 50 with 20 seconds left and rather than us eaking out a FG to end the half we will give up a FG..... 31-7..... Question.... why are the anouncers suprised.... we SUCK.... where's the news in that?

great article and I agree with most here as I'm oldschool in my thinking on this. The game start upfront on both sides of the ball. If your line (offensive and or defensive) isn't getting the job done the guys behind them have an infinitely more difficult job and the odds of success plummets quickly. The idea of buying OL works IF you are doing one of of two things A. picking up a guy who has plenty left in the tank and is a good fit for your team providing you stability at a position. or B. bringing in someone to hold the fort at that position while drafting to build with youth so when the vet is ready to step down you have someone waiting in the wings. As pointed out here the Bears have done a infinitely poor job in either respect and justifying their inaction is a stretch either way. However, crying over spilled milk solves nothing and the OL is our spilled milk Angelo can do one of two things maintain the status quo while hoping/praying that it miraculously solves itself or assess the situation as it stands and come up with a real plan to rectify it. Starting by going through position by position who is starting who is on our roster/practice squad, who may be available in FA since we don't have a 1st or a 2nd this coming draft, who may be in the draft that we could target in the third or even if someone falls out of round 2 (falling from round one to where we'll be picking is not a good sign). Evaluate who we have coaching the OL and who we have scouting for OL. IMO this OL should be the uncontested #1 issue to address this coming offseason. If not we are going to get our high priced Pro Bowl QB killed and we'll be in worse shape. Till we fix the front 5 of our Offense the other 6 guys will struggle and we will see this hit and miss offense like we've seen thus far.

Truly one of the key elements of our team along with Mannelly and Maynard (even though he had a rough game last week). With Field position being so critical our special Teams do an outstanding job in that department. Too bad we seem to struggle to take advantage of it like we should. Having a guy like Robbie makes it easy to forget about guys like Chris Bonehead and the seemingly endless parade of imitation NFL kickers we shuffled through prior to Eddinger who was best known for the weirdest kicking routine I've ever seen.

This about sums it up

of all the teams play this way against..... It'd have to be the friggin Bengals and Benson.

at least we didn't get shut out

now that we're down 31-0 with seconds left in the first half we show a sense of urgency If the team had diarrhea they'd be **** our of luck with this kind of urgency
