"Devin is excited about it also. You just look at the skill level that Devin Hester has. In this offense, we’re pretty excited about what it can possibly be and what Devin can be.” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Let the dream die for cripes sakes. I'm looking at his skill level at WR, and as Aikman said: it's an embarrassment to a real wide receiver. Can't wait to see Lovie get fired at the end of the year.

I liked his defensive style in Baltimore, and supposedly he is an offensive coach. Probly could get him for cheaper than some of the other guys out there. He's been to a Super Bowl. Check check. I'm sure there are some down sides that some of you may know better than I--would be interested to hear.

Hester has done nothing to help us win since 2006, at least nothing that's not easily replaceable. His return "skills" are a joke at this point, and he's a mediocre receiver. He's neither a smart player nor is he particularly well sized. Get rid of him ASAP for whatever you can get.

He's an arrogant loser. Makes himself D coordinator and is somehow even worse than Babich. Handpicked some of the worst draft picks over the last 5 years (Okwa, Bazuin were both Lovie favorites). He doesn't ever modify his gameplan. His gadget defense has been completely figured out. I would bet he couldn't even name a single offensive play they run. "I'm familiar with what we do," he's been heard to say. Horrible horrible horrible. I would like to hear someone say something good about him, that would be fascinating.

It would be reminiscent of the scene in Hoosiers when Hackman gets thrown out of the game and turns the reigns over to Shooter... who is scared to death.

We ain't winning any worthwhile games this year anyway. Fire Lovie now, send him a message loud and clear that his double-talking, lazy, easygoing crap is not welcome around here anymore. It would also be kinda funny to watch Babich squirm.

Definitely serious re: Harbaugh. You think straight to HC? I can never tell what determines that.

1. Drop Pep Hamilton from a plane into a live volcano 2. Trade shit for brains Hester for whatever you can get, maybe early 2nd round pick. Use that to bring in a true receiver. 3. Cut all the all purpose guys-->help Garrett Wolfe and Rashied get jobs as dishwashers at Roundy's for cash and a hot meal per shift 4. Fire Ron Turner. Consider Jim Harbaugh as a QB position coach. 5. 1-2 actual O-lineman in free agency. 6. Show Lovie how his headset works

Not me. No draft picks left to fix this clown college we call a team.

The dual head coach idea is ingenious. I didn't even think of that. Lovie has no idea what is going on in the offense anyway. He said so himself "I've never been the offensive coordinator, but I have a general idea of what we do." Something to that effect. It would have to be someone established though, someone able to develop NFL players. I'm not convinced there isn't a lot of talent that is not being utilized, whether it's WR, line, whatever.

Three years ago it was Rivera. Last year it was Big Bad Bob Babich. This year it's going to be Turner out on his ace, which he almost certainly deserves. Anyone who tries "up the gut" so many times just to prove a point deserves to be out. These games are for real, not a flippin joke. But in all sincerity it should be the whole crew, especially Lovie. I'm sorry, but there ain't no way this crew of jalopies is ever going to get anywhere close back to a Super Bowl. A couple more years of this, and Cutler can kiss any dreams he had of being a real "franchise" QB good bye, whatever "franchise" means.

It seems to me that the players aren't buying in any more. I find it hard to imagine a scenario where this staff (Lovie and Turner especially) would ever bring this team back to a championship team. Lovie himself almost seems not to care, if you listen to his post-game conference. "We weren't prepared" he says with no emotion whatsoever.

Oh he deserves it. I just think it's funny.

Maybe I'm showing my naivete here but: in watching Lovie on the sideline, the past many years the closest I ever saw him to even saying anything into the headset or even addressing anyone on the sideline was to pull the microphone down by his mouth, hesitate for a second, then put it back up. On Sunday vs. Bengals, he wasn't even wearing the earpiece right, it was over his cheek or jaw for a lot of the game. Doesn't exactly give me confidence that he's in any kind of control.

I agree with all of that. I'm just saying that a lot of people put blinders on after the Cutler trade, as if suddenly the Bears ailments would be cured. "Jay's offense will keep the defense off the field" was one I heard quite a bit. My point is that, to win this year, had they focused on getting some DBs, and maybe a number one receiver, we might be winning now, even with Orton. Also, if Loathie's training camp wasn't such a country club, maybe any number of players wouldn't be out for the year at this time. I've got nothing against Cutler. I just knew it wasn't going to be the difference.

Clearly cutler has the tools, and more natural talent than Kyle Orton. Fine. But bringing him into this situation, namely a mediocre to poor defense with no secondary whatsoever, and no personnel movements made to shore up the secondary, and the most predictable offense in the leauge, was doomed from the start. While everyone was overcome with man-crushes on Cutler, I found myself wondering: is he going to play cornerback? Orton and offense were the BRIGHT spot last year, ie the Falcons game, the Carolina game, the Bucs game, all of which the defense gave up leads at the end. Of all the parties involved, Cutler has gotten the worst deal career wise. He may walk away with 20mil guaranteed, but his career would be looking a lot hotter if he'd stayed in Denver.

Orton knew how to throw the ball away. If "extending the play" means "extending it to an INT", maybe it would be better to take the sack or throw it away.

Not sure why Cutler deserves all these excuses people keep making. "It's those darned receivers." "He was being rushed." Well... weren't these the same problems there last year? In fact, this year's receivers are better overall than last year's (Booker, Lloyd). Why was no one ready to make these excuses for Orton? Granted, Cutler's arm is better. But who needs a rocket arm if you're throwing it to the other team. If we wanted a one-trick pony who can throw the long ball and is interception prone, seems like keeping Rex Grossman would've been more economical. Cutler better turn it around soon.

In addition to the recent Cutler story http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...ource=a-section The onion seems to always be following the Bears. Anyhow, if you haven't read those below, they are pretty hilarious. Especially the new "look-like-shit" offense. The humor lies in its truth. http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...l_new_look_like http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...nning_back_cant http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...rex_grossman_to http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief...her_out_four_to http://www.theonion.com/content/news_brief..._grossman_i_was

Am I literally the only one who thinks giving up Orton was a mistake? I don't think Joe Montana could have done more with the hodge-podge set of tools Orton had available to him, eg Rashied "Arena-Hands" Davis and Marty Booker. I would not be surprised if Orton is a top tier quarterback next year under the coaching staff in Denver.
