It wasn't as hard to watch this game as most in which we lose. If you read my game thread bit, I just couldn't see a way that we could win without the bounce of the ball going our way often. Between lack of a running game, lack of protection, penalties and turnovers, the Bears didn't have much time to actually try to move the ball down field.
The Vikings moved the ball up and down the field at will. The Bears had no answer and watched helplessly as the Vikings converted 3rd and long time after time, after the Bears worked hard to get them into that position.
Stats:
Jay Cutler: 147 yds. 1 TD, 2 INT
Matt Forte: 8 carries for 23 yards
Greg Olsen: 7 receptions for 45 yards
Hunter Hillenmeyer: 9 tackles
Injuries (all left game):

Da Bears
might be the worst team in the league!!! At this point, how do you not fire Lovie? Seriously, how does Lovie and Co. not get fired after this game?
You know that,
I know that, Every Bears fan in the world know that. Unfortunately, “The powers that be” don’t give a rat’s ass what’s best for the team.
You weren't saying fire lovie
when they were getting bounce after bounce their way in 2006. I never though Lovie was that great of a coach, I just thought he was a good motivator. Unfortunately for THIS bears team, motivation isn’t enough, and Lovie has lost his effect.
You can fire Lovie, but it won’t really change anything. Bears lack the personnel, especially at the line of scrimmage, to be able to run any type of successful offense. You also have no 1st or 2nd round draft picks this year, which will be the salt in the wound.
If only we were like the Packers
we could vote them out, but since the Bears aren’t a public owned team, we can vote with our dollars. Of course that didn’t work in Cleveland, so not alot other than suffer through it.
That’s not true!!! WHY THE F*CK WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU AHOLE!! Ok maybe your right but you gotta give a little something here for it to work. I don’t know what I’m going to do this is the worst thing I’ve ever read, this day could not get any worse. Fine, F*ck it, you’re right.

The Packers shareholders have no voting rights. I’m not sure what the shares are. There is an executive council or something like that that chooses the Pres who chooses the GM. Its strange.
I think...
That it is like a regular company, where shareholders vote for the Board of Directors, who in turn elect an executive committee, which in turns hires the President of Football Operations. So I guess if you are stockholder you can influence the Board of Directors but which selects the Committe which hires the Head guy but I guess you are right that in general your votes mean almost nothing.
That’s not true!!! WHY THE F*CK WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU AHOLE!! Ok maybe your right but you gotta give a little something here for it to work. I don’t know what I’m going to do this is the worst thing I’ve ever read, this day could not get any worse. Fine, F*ck it, you’re right.

Here's what the Packers website says
Today, an annual meeting of shareholders is held in July. The event returned to Lambeau Field in 2006 after several thousand people were turned away from the 2005 meeting at the nearby Resch Center. As a means of running the corporation, a board of directors is elected by the stockholders. The board of directors in turn elect a seven-member Executive Committee (officers) of the corporation, consisting of a president, vice president, treasurer, secretary and three members-at-large. The president is the only officer who receives compensation. The balance of the committee is sitting gratis.
That’s not true!!! WHY THE F*CK WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU AHOLE!! Ok maybe your right but you gotta give a little something here for it to work. I don’t know what I’m going to do this is the worst thing I’ve ever read, this day could not get any worse. Fine, F*ck it, you’re right.

Bears suck
other than special teams the entire team sucks,from the coaches to the chearleaders, we suck so bad, cutler doesnt even throw the ball down the field anymore in fear of throwing a pick, and if he does he will throw a pick. Our O line is the worse in the league, dont know if any rb could look good trying to squeez through the keyholes we give em. Cutler needs a coach because he’s broken goods, Lovey has got to go, he took this defence on his shoulders at the begining of the season and we rank last in everything, gota go gota go, Looks like the broncos will end up with a top ten pick and we dont have a 1st or 2nd. wow…im ashamed to be a bears fan.
Dude, we don't even have cheerleaders.
How pathetic is that? You’d think that if we can’t enjoy the product on the field, we’d at least get some enjoyment from the sidelines…
BRING BACK THE HONEY BEARS!
You know, i always wondered that.
With so many beautiful women in the city of Chicago why don’t we have any cheerleaders? The Eagles got cheerleaders, and they aren’t even that good..but at least they have some.
We want cheerleaders darnit!!

Thank God I did not have to watch this one...
I was hoping to see the Bears at least keep it close. This is just embarrassing.
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan.
No band-wagoner fans allowed, pick a team and stick with em, throughout the good and the bad.
For my Health, I quit!
I invest so much of myself into this team and each week get slammed down. I cant continue to watch this team this year. Taking a look at the big picture, I don’t see next year being any better. We need 4 new offensive linemen, at least 2 WR that can actually get separation, 1 corner, and 1 safety. And why we are at it, how about a coach that gives a shit!
When I watch other teams I notice that receivers in general create separation from the defenders. Not just on deep balls either, I mean on simple 10 yard in routes. Our receivers are practically giving piggy back rides to defenders. Couple that with zero run game, and how can you really expect anything different from Cutler. My heart goes out to you Jay, just keep slinging it. The only other thing we can do is punt!
well, here we go again, its that time that every1 puts in their two cents, so here is mine
I was saying 2 months ago that without a GAMEBREAKING WR, this team will not be a contender. The reply to me from the WCG gurus was “our core of WR is fine, we dont need any1 else”. When LJ was cut, and flopping aruond like a fish at the bottom of the boat, I said hmmmm, maybe the bears should think about getting him. The reply from the WCG gurus was, “what are you talking about? LJ is a homophobe, and we have good backs, just need a better O-line”. I was thinking of ways to improve this roster, but evertime I did, the gurus here were saying we dont need any1….Now all of the sudden, im reading on this blog, that the WR we have suck, forte sucks, etc etc. So to sum it up, thanks for realizing what I had already realized two months ago. Now they are 4-7, no playoff hopes, and no future prospects for trades or drafts. Lovie will be here for his entire contract, and we will be the laughing stock of the NFL.

Actually...
Hester and Olsen are great trade baits, but no change in talent will help Lovie coach any better. LOVIE NEEDS TO BE FIRED BEFORE ANY IMPROVEMENT IN THIS TEAM CAN OCCUR. What’s funny now is that I no longer get upset watching the Bears lose, but simply root for Lovie to get fired. I view this team as a zombie, a dead man walking, so wishing them evil isn’t that painful anymore! Just sick; isn’t it!
When you find yourself in a hole, STOP DIGGING!!!
Up and down the roster, there is 1 player
who might start for the Vikings. Maybe Briggs. But that’s it. Angelo needs to join Lovie on the unemployment line.
agree completely
This team isn’t good enough and that is all on Angelo. Too many wasted first round picks and with the trades no quick way to get in talent. Lovie needs to go, but no way should Angelo get a pass, time to clean house.
It's just one of those years
Bears used to be loaded, but the cycle has turned now. You gave away your picks at a terrible time, you need them now more than ever. You need to find a way to trade some players to get some picks back, or you need to spend heavily in free agency. I don’t see Angelo doing that though as he balked last year on a lot of free agents.
if angelo stays..
you would think he is going to be very active to save his job.. he was this offseason, even going into the season with the trade for Loss Adams.
Yep
It would be pointless to sleepwalk through another season in ’10 if Lovie and JA are retained. I expect him to be active in free-agency, especially if a new CBA is agreed upon.

but since they will never fire both, Angelo will get the benefit of the doubt and he will fire lovie to save his own ass.

I just watched
a team give up on their coaches.
Don't let your schoolin interfere with your education.
I am sorry of this gets redundant but....
FIRE LOVIE SMITH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lovie has lost the team and can no longer be an effective coach. His staff will DESTROY whatever talent is left.
When you find yourself in a hole, STOP DIGGING!!!
Lovie isn't the only problem I've seen
As an outsider, it’s easy to look at this team’s downward spiral since Super Bowl 41. Winning a conference championship will do a lot to keep a head coach around for a few years. The Bears are two losses away from a losing season, their second since winning the conference championship for the 2006-07 season. The Bears are ten games under .500 since losing Super Bowl 41. Lovie Smith’s record as head coach of the Bears is now 49-49 after today’s loss, so he can’t say he has a winning record as head coach of the Chicago Bears anymore. The team’s problems don’t begin with Lovie Smith, but sometimes a fresh perspective is needed when there is a need to rebuild.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
The problem is...
it’s almost impossible to “fire” all the players. That would cost a ton and is almost laughably insane. Thus, the other option is to fire the coaches. Yes, some/many players may be gone, but Lovie has lost this team and that’s not a fixable problem.
When you find yourself in a hole, STOP DIGGING!!!
Detroit is sort of doing that
by slowly firing all it’s players. They just drafted a bunch of them and over time they’ll rid their roster of useless personnel and weak talented players. That was the biggest problem for the Lions. It wasn’t ALL the coaching/GM…
I didn't notice the injuries
And I hope they aren’t bad.
I will say that I’m surprised at how many Bears fans showed up at the Dome today, and that they were pretty loud for the first quarter. And it seemed to me they were louder than the Green Bay fan.
Hope the rest of the season goes better, except for the last game in December. :- b

Thanks Dvw
I coulda found that myself I guess just so damn disgusted and disappointed I cant even think straight right now. Your right though, Jay grabbing that mic and shoving it back at the holder had me thinking the explosion was about to start! With each passing week, I am gaining more and more respect for Cutler, from his toughness on the field, to his ability to retain composure with the media, I dont know how the hell he’s doing it, I know I wouldn’t be able to hold back at this point. Lovie, on the other hand, is about as delusional as a Damen avenue crack HO, that’s for sure. If this guy and his band of incompetent numbskulls still have jobs come tomorrow morning, well let me stop now, grandma always said “if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all.” I’m gonna go sleep this one off and dream about a new coaching staff! Hope all is well with you and yours my friend. Until we type again.

Wanted to go off like Denny Green on his coaches.But then the media will call him a whiny crybaby.Seriously?Why is he a “crybaby” when he is nearly getting killed every game?
See Cutler smack that mic?
That was the best part
oh and Lovie . . . “oh umm yea we need play better” . . . “umm yeah we miss opportunities”

Fire Angelo?
Hmmmmm, By signing Jay, Angelo has bought himself at least this off-season to get him some help. Just like Lovie bought himself some extra time “Getting them to the Super Bowl”.
Sad group of guys
There are college teams that could put up 500 total yards and 40 points on this Bears organization. As someone who goes to nearly every home game, we deserve far more than what we are getting. For what is probably the second biggest (football) market in the league, we deserve a team that goes out and competes every game, every season. It’s time for the McCaskeys to stop lining their pockets with season ticket holders money, and time for them to start spending on real coaches and talented players. Sure, they signed Cutler……and I’m a fan……….but they can’t put him on the field with 10 arena league wannabes. Whatever, another lousy season, I’ll be back to complain as long as the McCaskeys are the owners.
Stop going to the games then!!
That’s the only way change is going to occur!!! No matter the product out on the field, that stadium is packed!!! Why spend money to make money when you can make money without spending?!!!
well
honestly if the Bears do lose their remaining games and by big margins Jerry Angelo will fire Lovie to save his own ass. Honestly, I think Lovie knows his time is up. This team is so unprepared and sloppy tha you can’t help but wonder if Lovie himself even cares anymore? he knows he’s lost the team, the media, the fans and just about any backer he had. I think Angelo will fire Lovie and his staff as a desperation move. But I just hope that he has the balls to tell the McCaskeys to open their wallets to get a quality coach and to trade a few players away for draft picks. I say trade hester, olsen and Vasher. We can probably get two 2nd round picks and either a 3rd or 4th for Vasher. honestly we don’t need hester because knox and bennett are actually receivers by trade and with a lot better coaching they can be dangerous weapons
agreed, trade hester and vasher
but olsen is a keeper…and i’ll tell you what, no matter what team gets hester, i gaurantee you he will end up being a pro bowler. The bears org dont make players better, they make them worse

Hester
thats why i don’t want us to trade Hester. Or tommie for that matter. Because i would think, or at least like to, that a new coaching staff would be better able to teach our players (especially on the O side) to get to their potential. Like Olsen and his short arms, maybe new coaches could get that outta him.
No way
that the Bears net two 2nd rounders for Hester and Olsen, nor does Vasher give them a 3rd-4th.

Economy sucks
so you may not have to lobby for that outcome anyways. Schaumburg is planning on going bankrupt next year because their budget relies heavily on sales tax income. With consumer spending as bad as it was last year, this year isn’t looking that much better.
Honestly, if there was a drop in sales revenue for the Bears, they wouldn’t get the message because they’d just blame it on the economy.

We need the GM to step up this offseason
Whether it’s JA or a new guy whoever needs to get us higher picks. The holes in this team cannot be fixed starting in the third round. Pick the guys you want to build around (Briggs, Cutler, Hester?, Alfalava, D. Manning?, Forte) and then try to trade any and everyone you can for picks: Tommie Harris, Gaines Adams?, Vasher?, Tillman? and try to build up some second round picks or maybe a later 1st rounder (I know we probably have no one of that value lying around).
dunno about the draft
picks are insanely valuable, so teams want a lot for them. personally, i’d rather build through FA this offseason if we can. sign a DE (kampman?) who can actually rush the passer, a DT, a #1 WR (or at least a solid #2 or #3 who actually comes back to the ball), and a mauling G (and draft a G in the 3rd round…you can still get good starting guards there). so, at least 3 top-tier guys (DE, WR, G), along with new coaches who actually know what they’re doing.

Time to wake up
this is going to take a long time to turn around this cluster f#ck of a franchise. The longer Angelo is running the show, the longer it will take. I agree that existing players should be traded for draft picks, but with JAs track record……this will just make things worse. We need a new staff that is capable of properly evaluating, drafting, and developing a new team. Imo, every player on the roster should be considered trade eligible. Cutler, Briggs, Olsen, Urlacher, and Hester are worth the most. This organization needs to be blown up, from top to bottom. Time to start over. This is a disgrace!
besides the disparity in talent
the disparity in coaching was obvious. minnesota was creative on offense…they ran run plays on not-obvious downs and out of odd formations and used delays. they had favre run a few bootlegs. on defense, their blitzes were not incredibly obvious. they have MUCH better coaching. i know there’s the money issue, but after yet another debacle in which his defense got shredded yet again, i don’t see how lovie can keep his job after this season. minus dave toub, there is basically nobody who should keep their coaching job come the offseason.
JA
Looks like the GEICO caveman but the man can play DE.

At least DA got to play a bit today
and made a good catch … course that was the last time I saw him.
This team is boringly impossible to watch. Jay’s got no time and no help (and then seemingly sucks when he does get a chance). The defense is still playing the “leave everyone open” buffet style of defense.
Really ugly… hoping for change soon. Start with Angelo and clean house, but I still don’t see next year being any better with no draft and a cheap owner. Especially if they buy out Lovie I don’t see them spending more money to improve the rest of the team. :sigh:

Played his heart out but it wasn’t good enough to make a difference.
"I am not an animal!" - Merrick
He plays his heart out, but he is inadequate.
We’ve been getting beat deep over the middle a lot lately. In the cover-2, the MLB has to cover middle deep. But you can totally see him getting beat over the middle for big catches. Just doesn’t have the athleticism. Which is why they tried Roach there for a while. But he isn’t smart or experienced enough to play there. Catch-22, we lose.
ok
Only watched until about half way through the 2nd quarter so maybe they went back to it later but can anyone explain why we stopped the no huddle after it was working pretty well during the TD drive?
DA makes a good grab on a poorly thrown ball and is gone the rest of the night.
Bell doesn’t get a chance to show if his debut performance was fact or fluke.
Why does it seem we find something that works and then we never go back to it? I swear our coaches think “The other team saw that works so they’ll be ready for it, if we do what isn’t working they’ll never see it coming. Forte up the middle, send it in.”
I expected us to lose this one but hate to see another uninspired performance from the coaches on down. Bright spot, Pace was hurt again. Hopefully this time it sticks and we get a preview of next years line.
DA would've caught cutler's 1st pick for 6
or at least would have not let it get intercepted. it wasn’t a well-thrown ball, but WRs need to also fight to get a ball sometimes. i actually like our WRs, but the simple fact is, they are young and don’t really get the notion that they need to come back to the ball and fight for balls. i think that would have been 6 points with most decent WRs.

Three years from now
When the Bears are back on top, and the Vikings are in Los Angeles, we’ll look back on this one and laugh.
But right now, this one just sucks.
Is Jerry Angelo fired yet?
the To Do list
From an outsider’s perspective, here’s what the Bears need to do, in order of importance:
- Hire a real GM
- Bring in an offensive-minded head coach that can make use of Cutler
- Hire a solid motivator/energy type of defensive coordinator/co-head coach
- Fix the offensive line to fit the new offensive scheme
- Upgrade the secondary
- Beef up the defensive front seven, especially along the D-line
- Upgrade at #1 WR
The challenge of rebuilding Da Bears now is going to be the uncertainty around NFL labor issues in the next couple of years. I hate to be the bearer of bad news – okay, as a Packers fan I really don’t – but don’t be surprised if team ownership doesn’t stand pat on the team until they have a better idea of what’s going to happen with the labor issues and how it will affect the salary cap. Could be an ugly couple of years for you guys.
UGHHHHHHHH
Just looking at the stats from the game makes me nauseous…. Complete overhaul, starting with the coaching staff, then the players!
