I don’t think that if you change nothing essentially and play the same strategy that keeping your mindset that you will win (even at the last minute of the game) will work. Hey…that’s my opinion. But mindset is probably synonymous with the confidence that with a good strategy & probably a little luck, you can pull through a few bad patches. The problem was (I think) that the strategy in both the Cinci & Arizona games were somewhat similar, atleast defensively…and then almost the same type of result(s)!

I’m actually starting Frank Gore this Thursday for my fantasy team. How can Bears management allow Lovie to return when he’s drawing up game plans and calling plays for the defense? The players obviously are not responding to his methods and/or believing in his message. Even with the all world, over hyped, Marenelli, the Bears defensive players can’t turn it around. To bring Lovie back next year is like believing Marenelli can have some effect on this defense. What other tricks could this coaching staff and management use to convince the fans and themselves, they have a plan that’ll return this team to the playoffs next year? Bring in a boatload of free agents and make sure one of those guy are Brian Dawkins like to fire up this defense, because coaches can’t? Tell us Urlacher will make a difference in 2010? The Front Office, if they are committed to winning, consider funny math that suggest that $1.35 million or so over and his 22 million over 4 years even out, do to have him on the cheap for his first few years and a SB. Then, hire some proven football minds with offense and defense credentials to fix this team. No more games with the fan base.

Sure, all the D needs is a different mindset…and a different coach…and different line players…and different secondary coverage. But yeah, change that attitude and all will be well.

Once again he points out what a great athlete Manning is when asked how they will contain V Davis. Too bad this isn’t a 100 yard dash or obstacle course. Manning cost us the Super Bowl with a blown coverage and is constantly out of position, yet Lovie continues to blow smoke up his ass and the Bears safety positions continue to be awful in coverage. Its not like Darren Sharper was avaiable was he? I think he has more INTs and defensive TDs this year than the entire Bear defense.

way down vs. Arizona.

was it weather or lack of interest?

“We know that the Texans, Bears, Colts and Steelers have all but entirely taken themselves out of the running for Larry Johnson — either due to chemistry issues or his putrid stats so far, as seen at right.”

Can we stop talking about the women spitter now?

but we just don’t have the personnel to do it this year..or next year most likely..we should focus on building around cutler over the next 2 seasons if anything.
