I agree on Pep and Turner, and believe they need to be gone.
Good rant – truthful.

This Team let us all down again. I’m out of suggestions, solutions or advice. I made the same ’Dancing With The Stars ’ comment about Forte during the game blog. I agree with everything you said Ditka.

is that there doesn’t seem to be a single facet of the game where we look good. Even our special teams are not playing to the level we’re used to seeing. This team is in need of an almost complete overhaul, and we don’t have the draft picks to do it with. Even if we did, I don’t know that we’ve got a staff capable of building a team from the bottom up.

over the last few months, but to me it still comes down to accountability. I don’t know Pep Hamilton but I just can’t see him being the guy to coach a player like Jay Cutler. I don’t blame Pep for that, I blame Jay and I blame Lovie. My reasons are that I assume Jay is told about his mechanics but unless he’s willing to listen and make the changes himself, all the teaching in the world isn’t going to change things. Since Jay isn’t listening, it’s up to Lovie to say “one more throw off your back foot when there’s little to no pressure and your joining me on the sidelines for the rest of the game”. Now that the playoffs are virtually gone, even more reason to pull anyone who’s not playing up to their abilities.

This season, a few of the players have put out the kind of effort needed to win in the NFL, most notably Alex Brown. He is the only D-lineman who week after week seems to go 110% and truly seems upset when we lose. If you put Alex Brown on a team with other good players, he’d be a Pro Bowler every year. Also, Johnny Knox always makes things exciting when he’s on the field. He makes some rookie mistakes, sure, but he has a great motor and seems to be playing at a different pace than any other offensive player out there, and not just because of his speed. His block for Bell on the long run was as much fun to watch as the run itself.

I always remember Gary Fencik being interviewed and being asked what was the difference in the Bears when Ditka took over and he said that during the first team meeting Iron Mike said something to the effect that the Bears would win the Super Bowl in a few years and that most of the guys in the room wouldn’t be around to enjoy it. That’s accountability, something this team is sorely lacking.

just kidding.
i feel the same the defense played great all night the offense could not find the endzone enough.

at least bowman looks good. i think he’s one of our steals for the draft from last year. having one full year under his belt starting will only help his average cover skills.

I’m excited about the kid.

he could just throw the pile out of the way
Izzy also got a sack

How do you do anything else but throw off your back foot when you have sluice gates instead of an offensive line. Remember Favre last year ? TDS = INTS for him. Having time to set your feet etc. is a luxury he doesn’t always have …
