Chicago Bears VS. Houston Texans - Second Half Game Thread

14-10 Houston at half.

We started fast, ended slow. Lovie better light another fire within the Bears players or this might not end up well.

It looks like G-men definately

sort of want to win.

otherwise they could have just ran some run plays and let the half go away.

instead Eli came out throwing

Given their recent lackluster performances

it’s in their interests to play to win—within reason anyway. With a bye week coming up, Coach doesn’t want them to be too wishy washy.

May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.

that the coaches actually make some changes at half. Covering Andre Johnson, for starters.

Yeah

But did you expect the Bears to actually win this one or the Giants to actually care?

All week long on this blog people were trying to convince themselves that for some reason the Giants were going to play the starters. Why would they do such a thing? The Bears didn’t give a shit in 05 when they were in a similar situation. Why would the Giants?

Not much

I constantly question people's fanhood? Who, exactly?

Please give me two names of people I’ve questioned, minus you.

I’m looking forward to the future too, but three draft slots won’t make a difference. Even if we lose, it’s 9-7, and we’re still in the bottom half of the class.

We’ll still have a great pick, so it doesn’t matter.

Well...

I’m an Orton supporter over Rex as of now. I’m gonna sit back for a couple weeks and reevaluate my position.

We have him signed for one more year. In 2010, there will be a stellar QB draft class. If someone good, like a McNabb or whoever, wants to play in Chicago and we can sign him, I’m really not opposed. But, regardless of who our QB is next year, whether it be Henry Burris, Kyle Orton, or Tom freaking Brady, we need to shore up our OL and get a good WR.

Gmen up 19-17

Forte must have re-injured himself

At least that’s what I’m thinkin. Otherwise Lovie deserves to get a show thrown at him.

he was hurt last game

The Bears are notorious (as are NFL teams in general) for hiding injuries

If they could run him now they would

Look what it did last week…. we would have tried that again if we could

I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out he was hurt for the second half of the season

What a way to go out

Well, I’m hoping for changes to this team for next year but I don’t expect any. We’ll hear the same old excuses of people being injured and just not making one stop, etc.

I guess in the grand scheme 9-7 isn’t bad but with a few players on offense and defense we could easily have a playoff team. I guess it’s time to focus on the Cubs…ugh.

by LerxstCub on Dec 28, 2008 3:11 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

starting with the

firing of Bob Babich and maybe lovie

by tfrabotta on Dec 28, 2008 3:11 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I'm fine with Lovie

I think he’s a good motivator but the D Coordinator needs to be upgraded.

by LerxstCub on Dec 28, 2008 3:12 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

good motivator?

Then why do the Bears come out so flat in the second half so often?

We have been waiting for these major changes for years… I really don’t think the Bears are compelled to put a winning product out on the field sadly.

but he wasn’t as bad as babich in my mind….turner doesn’t have much to work with. I miss Ron Rivera

by aznsensation on Dec 28, 2008 3:13 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

turner

turner sucks has for awhile he gets too happy when we complete a pass and suddenly thinks we’re a passing team which leads to a 3 and out. He just hasn’t shown a good abiltiy to mix the pass and run
