We can climb out of hell.
I believe it. We can take the next 4 games. It’s doable.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!

I like your enthusiasm.
Honestly though, I can’t share it right now…..You don’t lose a game like that and then go on to a Super Bowl, especially when it seems we are playing for a wild-card spot at best. I hope I am terribly wrong.

well don't get me wrong... Super Bowl hell no..
but if they can get a win against the Browns and then get a home win against the Cards… you can go into SF feeling better about your team and who knows. Then you’re home against the Eagles so those are 4 winnable games but of course I said the same about the Falcons and Bengals so who knows.
I think that fact that 3/4 games are at home helps the Bears obviously.

Home field does indeed help
I guess I would agree that there is still a chance to salvage a respectable finish with 6 home games left, though I can’t help feeling we were completely exposed Sunday and that every other team we face will try to replicate the Bungles approach, no matter where we play. Home field and Bear weather does tend to change things for sure, and I am hoping for the best….guess I am just feeling silly for being confident before this week that we were a playoff (and maybe even SB) contender.

Can we blow up the Offensive line yet?
Browns at home is a perfect place to at least put Beekman in at guard. Nothing to be done about adding players now but at least get the people you have some playing time. The current O-line incarnation isn’t going to “gel” any better than they are now and they’re currently terrible. Training camp, preseason, 7 weeks, and 6 games is enough, if they’re going to take the whole year what’s the point? Pace is gone after this year and Kruetz should be. The O-line is the single area we can improve that will have the biggest impact on the winning chances of the team, present and future. The past prime current starters are a detriment to both.

Here's the best article... from Dan Pompei
on ChicagoSports.com… Defensive gameplan as bad as Bears execution
This review usually focuses on players and their execution, but it would be remiss not to mention that the Bears players were put at a disadvantage Sunday by their defensive game plan.
The coaches didn’t respect Cedric Benson enough to commit a safety to the box in the first quarter, and Benson made them pay. They thought the front seven could get off blocks and stop Benson without the advantage of an extra man, and they were dead wrong.
The Bears also tried to play way too much Cover-2 in the first half against a team with savvy route runners and a deadly accurate quarterback. The result was the Bears were picked apart.
Blitz calls were ineffective. The Bears blitzed on exactly half of the Bengals’ passes. On those 12 plays, quarterback Carson Palmer had a 128.8 passer rating, a completion percentage of .750, threw for four touchdowns and had four first downs. And Bears pass rushers never got close to Palmer on 10 of the plays.
These decisions were fatal mistakes in a game in which nothing went right.
"You win because of the quarterback. We have to get that position stabilized. We're fixated on that." -- Jerry Angelo (12.30.2008)
Jerry Angelo trades for Jay Cutler! (4.2.2009)

Lovie doesn't know how to blitz
12 blitzs —> 10 times that the QB had 0 pressure! That’s inexcusable!
Lovie: stop the damn “mug” look blitz — it doesn’t work! It worked 1 game (which was the first game of last season, when we 1st used it). Bring some pressure from the sides, where there aren’t 5 330 lb lineman waiting to block guys half their size!

Talk about getting the last laugh.
Where was all this enthusiasm and effort when Benson was here?

switching to a 3-4
i’m all about switching to a 3-4 at this point for next year, we have the talent at LB, the front is suspect though.

I totally agree.
I’d love the 3-4. That means Lovie is gone right?

wouldn't that be swell
i’m not a lovie hater by any means, but this team has been completely different since they went to the SB in 2006.
