Still waiting for Chalk Talk

where Mayer tries to absolve Lovie of wrongdoing on the 2 TO debacle. Could be good.

Well Jay said he took the TO.

So that will be in the answer.

"Where not all of us believe in firing everyone."

Anyone who doesn’t believe in it, should be fired.

Trent Dilfer thinks we should keep Smith

I now hate Trent Dilfer.

by Daseabeez on Dec 15, 2009 9:08 AM CST reply actions

SJS_illini thinks Trent Dilfer fits right in with the Eastern Seaboard Programming Network.

by Steven Schweickert on Dec 15, 2009 9:10 AM CST up reply actions

He thinks Lovie Smith is a good coach.

I am sold that Ron Rivera got us to the SB not Lovie Smith. I wouldn’t mind if they brought him back to be the head coach.

There's a good reason I don't watch ESPN often.

I find very little of their insight actually insightful… mostly inciteful.

by Steven Schweickert on Dec 15, 2009 9:19 AM CST up reply actions

I was on espn.com

and it started playing. It kinda ticked me off.

Lovie's System Sucks!

It’s not a good fit for the Bears or its fans.

There was a very healthy

dose of Toub and Devin Hester there too.

by Fridge72 on Dec 15, 2009 11:56 AM CST up reply actions

Don't forget Brandon

another mistake by the management.

Trent Dilfer

is a loser who won a SB thanks to Ray Lewis and that raven D.He’s with ESPN so he’s a bonafide idiot.

way ahead of you on hating dilfer

Ugh that season completely sucked but i have so many other things to look forward to. GO BLACKHAWKS! GO BEARS! 2010 WHITE SOX!

Jesus, Lovie!!! WTF!!!

Does this quote from Lovie scare the crap out of anyone else? You don’t think it should have anything to do with the upcoming year, eh?

While the Bears have fallen far short of expectations this season, Smith doesn’t think that things necessarily have to get worse before they get better.

"I see us not being able to take care of some things this year," he said. "This is an individual season. You look at it by itself. It shouldn’t have a lot to do with the upcoming year. But right now we’re disappointed in where we are right now for this year."

by ClawsClawsClaws on Dec 15, 2009 9:15 AM CST reply actions

And it will be disappointing again if you are still coach Mr Smith

by Daseabeez on Dec 15, 2009 9:22 AM CST up reply actions

yeah...and the last two seasons where we missed the playoffs were "individual seasons" too, making it 3 yeas in a row....

THAT’S CALLED A TREND!!!! YOU A$$HOLE!

He don't care

He is getting paid either way.

by Daseabeez on Dec 15, 2009 9:36 AM CST up reply actions

have to say things to the media that they don’t really believe either. That’s why the Bears employ PR people to help their employess with what they are going to say. I think we call it “coach speak” and yes we get a lot of it from Lovie.

by Fridge72 on Dec 15, 2009 11:58 AM CST up reply actions

Doesn't make sense to keep this structure intact

I know, I know Lovie and Angelo still have years on their contracts. However, there is no benefit in keeping these guys around trying to pick players and develop them with the bang up job they had done so far. It would be like throwing money away. But with the right staff and GM the Bears can be back in the playoff by picking up a few quality inexpensive and 1 prize catch free agent.

If the Bears Org decide to go forward with the current staff. I know I won’t be watching the Bears in 2010 with no faith in this staff to correct things.
