Thursday Turkey Day Football Open Thread

We have had a bottom teir Offense for ten years and more. The Defense has been good enough (except last year) but no offense year after year. I don’t think it is so much not being willing to adjust, the D usually adjusts just fine by the second quarter he just doesn’t have a clue how to coach the other side of the ball. Right now a good Offensive Tackle and a big sure handed WR and Martz would be able to do something with the O. as it is we gotta hope the running game continues to improve and saves our season.

I was looking at Football Outsiders stats for the last 10 years and this team is very much like the 07 team the difference is the 3rd place schedule rather than a 1st place schedule.
I think the give Lovie an extension talk is to keep the team from rallying behind him and winning games they would otherwise lose and making it possible to fire Lovie before his contract is up. A very twisted way to get what they want.

BTW the first Bears game I remember was in the mid 50’s in the garage helping my dad work on his 52 Kaiser. Ed Brown was the Bears QB we got stomped by the Giants in the championship game that year. A lot of thrills and chills over the years I sure would like to see the Bears win another superbowl.

It’s a little-known fact, but that was the 11th commanded handed down to Moses on Mount Sinai.

Goodell watched the football scene in Starship Troopers one too many times.

TO was being held by his legs when the LB came in to finish him off. But by making that call, you’re saying that a second player can’t finish off the play, and it wasn’t a helmet shot anyway.

I like player safety too; the fewer players with scrambled eggs for brains the better. But at some point, the way things are constructed, there has to be hard hitting and, most of all, good tackling.

“they got the call wrong, but did the right thing”.

Its a circus and that man has way too much power.
