Connorbear Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 why the hell Orton was in the game with 3 minutes to go? To me, that is down right criminal. Rex should have been at QB to hand the ball off 3 times in a row to Peterson. There is no excuse - period. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Why was Adrian Peterson (Minessota's) in the game with the game decided with 8 minutes to go? I was shocked that he didn't end up breaking a bone or something by the end of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBearSox Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 screw it, I don't think this is an issue.... I would like him to explain not going with the no huddle and his lackadaisical approach to football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked that he didn't end up breaking a bone or something by the end of the game. I absolutely agree. I was saying that very thing in the chatroom. With 4 minutes to go, after the last Orton pick, Peterson ran the ball 2 or 3 times. How stupid is that? If I was a Viking fan, I would be livid.

I agree with you on the no huddle as well. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azbearsfan Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I would like the players to explain why they played one of the most uninspired games for first place I have ever seen. Terrible. In my mind there are at least 9 players that need to be replaced going into next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind there are at least 9 players that need to be replaced going into next year. Don't forget to mention we need a whole new coaching staff as well. Games like these are clear indicators that Lovie, and all the coaches for that matter, don't have the team on their side. When your team plays like heartless peices of crap for the most part, especially in big divisional games like tonight and vs. Green Bay, you know you need to make a change. How about we get a coach who actually has some passion, will motivate the players once in a while, and not stand on the sidelines with the deer in the headlights stare.

Connorbear Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I got one for you, Bill Cower. Good luck with that. $10 million a yr plus the cost of eating Lovie's salary - not gonna happen. We will end up with a first time coach after next yr.

BearSox Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I got one for you, Bill Cower. Sadly, the only way we make such a big change is if we get rid of Angelo as well, and that ain't happening. It'd be awesome if we shock the world and do something like the Dolphins did last and sign someone like Parcells to be the head of football operations, have him work hand in hand with the GM of his choice, and go on from there. A very important aspect of having a great football team is having cohesiveness and understanding from the Head Coach to the GM to the upper management or whatever you'd call it.

I'm kind of hoping for the later because I just don't see Lovie and JA being able to take us to the next level of being a playoff contender year in and year out.

Peace Not sure if he'd want to return, especially if JA is still here. Also, he's likely first in line to replace the likely soon-to-be fired Norv Turner.

I knew that Norv would screw the pooch from day 1 - some things never change. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madlithuanian Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 THis team is just not good. The players have the ability, but aren't getting it done. To me, it's the coaches' responsibility to have this team ready to play. They were not ready to play. Another failure by Smith & staff... I eagerly await 2 years form now when we get a new staff. I would like the players to explain why they played one of the most uninspired games for first place I have ever seen. Terrible.

I agree to a point. The coaches most certainly need to hold the players more accountable for bad play. But the players are professionals. This is not college, where I would agree that it is more the coaches responsibility to have the team ready. These dudes are getting paid. In some cases, more than they are worth. i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChileBear Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Not the point my lizard friend. The aim of the game is to score not to give in But if you're afraid of a takeaway, then you get cautious and just give up. Lovie is so anti-Ditka/Buddy Ryan it is nauseating.
