I still don't think there is a better active coach in the game (not named Bellicheck) than Shanny and I would take him in a heartbeat and make Marinelli the DCoord. I realize the Bears have a lot of money tied to Lovie and he wouldnt' deserve to be fired but if a guy like Shanny is out there you take him.

Martz and Marinelli don't work well together and while obviously both would be settling for assistant jobs I don't think they'd work together regardless.

He's at least a solid special teams player. I'm really glad Manning is starting to emerge though because I'm feeling a lot better about him helping out at the safety position with Brown down (or at least I assume he will be the one who steps in).

I'm actually going to be flying during the game (to Chicago). This is literally going to be like the 3rd game I've missed in the past 4-5 years. Hopefully the Bears can take care of business and things work out there way and they get into the playoffs!!!

He's also sticking to playing one position where as the team had been moving him all over the place in the past.

Quote of the year.

Badass...I don't know how they did it, but I'll take it. Need two more wins and potentially some luck.

Come on guys...get rid of the coolaid. The Bears have gotten lit-up by teams with efficient QB's (if not even teams with inefficient QB's). Brees will put up 450+ yards on us with ease unless Babich figures out how to effectively blitz and create pass pressure for the first time this year. The only way we win is if the weather is beneficial and aids in stopping Drew Brees.

No, I'd give up a 1st and 2nd for boldin.

After this year, I better not see Davis anywhere near our roster. His hands are awful. Than again we have one of the worse WR corps in NFL history. Oh and Hester is clearly our best WR. We really need to make an impact signing at the WR front as well as pick up another pick (and than use Hester/Bennett/FA signing/Draft pick/Veteran (Maybe even Booker is that guy still).

It won't happen because Arizona will want at least a 1st round pick this year. They aren't going to want to wait a year to get value.

Only a 4 man rush and Idonjie actually gets the tipped ball.

Come on Defense...wake up here.

Fantastic...damn did Turner have a very creative gameplan today.

Peterson did a really nice job. I think we are going to see more of him since he's a bit different than Jones. I'm very curious as to why Bennett/Lloyd aren't playing (Lloyd getting limited snaps and Bennett inactive). Give the freakin WR's a chance cause I"m sick of seeing these guys get no chance only to eventually go elsewhere and be productive.

Anderson had a better push but he still takes really bad angles. Briggs was ridiculous again today. What the hell is up with Urlacher, he made a couple plays but he also missed a chunk of tackles.

I don't quite think the Vikings are going to score on every drive, but who knows. I think the Bears match up well against the Vikings. Its Green Bay that we match up horribly against.

Orton looked very good in the first half and in the second half he looked a lot like Grossman. He was throwing off his back foot, but the Bears were also running a very vanilla offense trying to run out the clock. That pass to Hester early in the game for 28 yards or so was beautiful. Also, you could definately see Orton is still bothered by that ankle. The good news is it keeps getting better and he hasn't re-injured it yet. As that ankle gets better, so will his accuracy as he'll have much improved footwork. He also has the worse WR corps in the NFL to work with.

I swear, if the Bears can't get a pass rush against the Rams...well the entire dline should just quit.

The Bears have too much money tied into Lovie and there is no way they are going to just fire him. Plus the perception around the league among players is still very high when it comes to Lovie and that has to be worth something. I bitch and moan a lot about our coaching staff but I can't forget all the good things the Bears have done with Lovie at the helm. He's made some mistakes and the team has gone backwards but I still think there is a foundation here to win and Lovie just has to learn from his mistakes and I believe he's going to at least get a chance to show that he can learn from those mistakes.

I also want to know why we aren't seeing Bennet out there. I don't give two shits, the Bears have seen a bunch of WR's leave here and produce so its time we just give the freakin young WR's some time, especially since Booker blows (He has no step whatsoever). Solid vet presence and for a key situation I don't mind having him out there but for the most part his time has passed

Vasher isn't a shock, I still think he'd be best suited as a free safety playing next to a very strong tackling strong safety. He's a ball-hawk and plays well in space but as a corner he's lost it for the time being. I hadn't noticed Dusty until late but I'm guessing he's completely out of gas being that its been a couple seasons since he played a full year and that was in the college ranks. He looked like a really good prospect early in the season, but has definately slowed down. It's time we start leaning more and more on the vets like Adams and another youngster Harrison (who looks really good to me, imo). I didn't think about it, but if Dusty is playing that bad it could be a reason why Urlacher has tended to dissapear.

The Bears coaching staff has done a poor job in general generating a pass rush and it doesn't shock me that they are miss utilizing Anderson. Anderson should be in on all "passing" downs, no iffs and ors butts about it. If it isn't a passing down, than his ass shouldn't be out there unless he's giving Adewale or Brown a breather.

The move was necessary at the time. Williams was still hurt and the Bears obviously needed to have someone who could step in if St. Clair struggled or got hurt.

Very badass job Slav!!
