Let's Face The Facts............All Day Long.....................

When Ocho Cinco scored the first Touchdown against the Bears two weeks ago, he mouthed the words ' All Day long'.  How prophetic was that statement?  Because Cincinnatti did exactly that.  They scored at will 'All Game long'.  We then go ahead and beat a pathetic Cleveland team which brings us to today, 21 - 7 in the second quarter against Arizona.  What is the pulse of the game you ask?  'All Day Long', Warner to Fitzgerald and the Arizona Offense.  Now comes my rant!  How long do we as fans have to sit here and digest this sorry ass excuse of a Defense?  Any Team in the NFL with a decent or average Quarterback can come in and rip the Bears apart.  This is a running joke!  I stated before the season started that the Tampa 2 was exposed.  I was chastized for it and questioned.  Now do you believe me?  This is unacceptable and to sit here and pretend it will get better is lying to ourselves.  Lovie Smith needs to pack it in, change his scheme or hire a Defensive Coordinator.  We cannot put up with this any longer.

What else to say other than this is a pathetic

Detroit Lion-esque performance. However, with this type of play…..the Lions will soon pass the Bears.

Bears defense is all talk

 They are who the Cardinals thought they were, an overrated team. The defense backs can not cover anyone man on man. The defensive line can’t get consistent pressure. The blitzes are pathetic, the all pile up in the middle and the QB still stands in the pocket with plenty of time to find an open receiver. When they finally cover the wrs they forget about the rb out the back field. Teams have been killing this defense for quite a while. All I hear is talk about how good they are. What a bunch of crap. They are nowhere close to a top tier D. Urlacher is average in the middle. Not athletically speaking, but his instincts are no much for those of a Lewis. Why not use him like they used LT. He is great in space, let him rush the qb or cover a TE. Angelo’s picks have left this team weak were it matters most, on the line. No quality picks for OL, or DT. Harris would be good with another DT who would need to be double teamed. Straight up, I rarely see himm push his man into the QB. The I hear Harris is a speed guy. Great, in the middle where size, and strenght are important, we try a speed guy. That’s why he gets hurt. This team sucks as much as the last team they played, except for a good qb.

I Knew That One Was Coming............

No DaHamsta, no more excuses. I have injuries on the Defense, they did not play well, we still have next week. Nonsense, you Lovie are calling the Defense and are getting out coached. Period, exclamation point, with an asterisk next to your name. The fans deserve better than this.

Out coached big time.

I really dont like anything about our coaching staff. From the smaller and supposedly faster defensive personelle to the Tampa 2. The scheme, the coaching, and the personelle really suck. It starts with the coaching. I want really big guys that are athletic in the middle of our D-line with Alex Brown on one side and someone similar on the other side. Aguneleye has never done anything to make what he is paid since he has been here and I have never been a fan. Eventhough we are thin at linebacker and our secodary is young and not very good, our coaching staff has done a poor job at simply coaching them and that sucks. Our team is a mirror image of our coaching staff. We have alot of talent on this team, even with injuries, that is not even coming close to reaching their potential. No passion, no drive, no success. LOVIE, THIS IS YOUR JOB TO GET YOUR TEAM TO PLAY ABOVE THEIR POTENTIAL WITH AS FEW MISTAKES AS POSSIBLE, NOT EVEN CLOSE GUY. Your defense sucks, your offensive coordinator sucks, and you suck. Please get Cower or Gruden on the phone now. Disgruntled Bears fan.

Watch me pull a hat outta this rabbit.

I’m not saying the coaching is good, but we would have done much better if we had Urlacher and Tinaisamoa
Our coaches are horrible, I agree with that

by DaHamsta on Nov 8, 2009 6:11 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

This defense is offensive...

and it shows that the players have quit on Lovie. The problem is you can fix a poor DC or HC without firing them. Whether this team’s talent level is good or bad, it makes little difference. You cannot fire an entire team. So that leaves a coaching change as the only option. It would be one thing if the Bears played hard and lost a few close games, but they have been beaten badly by any team just slightly above mediocre. The effort isn’t there and the coaches are the ones to blame. Yes, the players need to be called out too, but again, this is a matter of reality that cannot be escaped. Other good teams have injuries and they don’t cause this much systemic failure. LOVIE HAS TO TAKE THE BLAME AND STEP DOWN OR BE FIRED. DOES ANYONE HAVE A KEYBOARD THAT WORKS WITHOUT ALL CAPS?? ;>P

When you find yourself in a hole, STOP DIGGING!!!

Somebody should call Lovie

and give him a stern talking to

by DaHamsta on Nov 8, 2009 6:30 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

No DeHamsta..........

I will try and break this down is a more simplistic form for your benifit. Lovie Smith has a boss Jerry Angelo. Jerry Angelo as General Manager answers to the owners of the Team. And so as it stands Jerry Angelo can either accept was is or make a move. I will list possible solutions for you to break down and analyze.

1. Termination of Lovie Smith and all of his vastly experienced Assistant Coaches.

2. Hire a Defensive Coordinator to finish out the season. Somebody like Ron Rivera, ooooops, we can’t. He was already promoted to that position by San Diego after Lovie Smith chased him out of town after the 2006 season. The Defense has not been the same since. It’s Lovie’s Defense now. He get’s all the credit because that’s what he wanted.

3. Implementation of some element of the 3 – 4 or 4 -6 Defense. I don’t know, something disguised as something other than the Tampa Cover 2?

4. Turn the Defense back over to Bob Babitch who washes Lovie’s car. I don’t know, can he call a game any worse than Lovie?

5. Make a Trade. Yes, a Trade. Tommie Harris, Vasher, Hillenmeyer, Ogunleye, Adams. I don’t know, shuffle some players around. Make a splash. Change personal to buy some time for your excuses for your dull exposed scheme Lovie.

The trading deadline has already passed...

but nice try. It’s unlikely the this staff can be fired wholesale right now and even less likely that a new staff could be assembled especially considering the bye week has passed them by. If Lovie were “let go” then Turner or Marinelli would likely be the interim HC.

When all is said and done, Lovie has the rest of this season to try something new to motivate his players and retool the defensive scheme to better fit the current personnel. I would prefer to see Lovie gone tomorrow, but that just won’t happen. I do not think Lovie has it in him to resurrect this team. While I do NOT believe his outward lack of intensity is a bad thing, not having the fallback of the emotional motivators leaves Lovie stuck to his current demeanor which isn’t enough.

When you find yourself in a hole, STOP DIGGING!!!

by LostInSTL on Nov 8, 2009 8:25 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Its too bad

that trade deadline is passed. Maybe we could have traded lovie & co to oakland for Nnamdi Asomugha, and mcfadden or seymor… Al Davis would have gone for that right?

by GtM on Nov 8, 2009 9:59 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I Know Asomgha's Cousin

I worked with him for 13 Years. of course I believe he has many cousins if he’s anything like my friend. And it’s pronounces Asoh-moog-ah. I don’t know why the announcers say it differently.

I Could Not Today........

Because I knew what was going to happen. I knew that Warner was going to shread us. How can I post a prediction that Arizona is going to torch us and we will lose?

How long do we as fans have to sit here and digest this sorry ass excuse of a Defense?

Until at least 2013. At which point the McCaskeys will appoint somebody just as inept as Jerry Angelo, the man who brought us years of busted drafts and BubbaGump Smith.
