aad Cornerback to next draft with list,
with O-linemen.
by Claudio Oliveira on Dec 12, 2010 5:37 PM CST up reply actions
and as much as we were talking about weather
the snow and field hurt our D today. their speed, which is a main strength, got negated.
I've tried everything I can to win this game, but, sadly, to no avail.
I’ve changed my jersey, twice.
I’ve changed seating positions.
I’ve tried eating and not eating.
I’ve tried not going to the bathroom and spending too long in the bathroom.
I’ve tried with and without a cat in my lap.
I’ve tried with and without the wife in the house.
I’ve tried it in game threads.
I’ve tried with the computer off.
Don’t know what else I can do! Please advise.
Turn your Television off.

The score’s been 7-0 to us since I made a cup of tea. Unfortunately it’s going to be a while before I can face having another one.

This is the worst weather I have ever seen in Chicago for a football game
Except maybe that Halloween game 20 years ago when we wore those throw-back uniforms vs Farve

he scored on a 40 yard bootleg. Awful night.

Know the feeling
After we fail to land up with the Lombardi trophy at the end of January, I have the disappointment of Ireland in the Rugby Six Nations tournament to come (Feb-April) and a couple of Irish provinces in the (rugby) Heineken Cup (May-June). Then it’s R&R for two months until it’s time to start complaining about the Bears’ preseason games.

Don't get me wrong.
Winning feels nice (2009-10 Blackhawks, the entire Jordan run), but the losses sting twenty times worse (Cubs 2003, the Super Bowl Loss). Oh well, pitchers and catchers report in February and the Bears are still leading the North!

I look at this game and conclude:
We have a very very slim chance of coming back.
STILL 1st place in the NFC North
This would be a loss to an AFC team.
Packers loss to Detroit which makes there record against the NFC North and NFC worse than the Bears.

The Pats are just unbelieveable to me
They can dink and dunk and just move the ball, endlessly it seems. Slants, screens, bubble screens, quick outs, everything!! And it’s so frustrating to watch as an opponent. Very hard to defend that stuff.

"I am a sinner who does not expect forgiveness. But I am not a government official." - Francis Wolcott
This is why everyone hates the Patriots
4th quarter, up by 29 and Brady is still in there passing. Running up is in no way against rules or “wrong” but it’s just rude and unnecessary in the NFL.
"I feel like the pieces are in place. But we have to execute...It's about execution. You have to execute. You have to have a scheme that facilitates the strengths of your players. If it doesn't, then it's a bad scheme. It's that simple. So we feel real good about the parts in place on offense."

reason why people wish brady injured is because he is very successful at what he does.

I’m sure some do, butit seems kinda shitty to me. The point is the whole Belichick running up the score when he should be protecting his franchise thing.
And I don’t personally wish injury on anyone but Bill Belichick, nor do I condone anyone else wishing injuryon anyone but Belichick.

I’m a huge advocate for firing Smith, but Bullshit to this. Smith Dared the best offense in the league to score on the first possession and showed the D he had confidence. They stopped them three and out. That’s called success.
Quite being stupid. If you see the opening coin flip as the big problem, then you are blind. And stupidity like this actually hurts the argument to fire Smith.

Defense put hi in a huge hole?
remember the fumble return fro TD? You know, whenthe offense can’t stay on the field, the defense has to be on it a lot. They get pretty tired when that happens. It’s not like the offense was moving the ball and scoring and the D just let them down. The offense gave us all of 32 yards in the first half on 6 possesions. That’s 5 yards a possesion for those who are counting.
The offense failed as much, if not more than the defense.

I'll be honest
I thought Cutler would have more than 2 picks, and I never thought they’d both come in garbage time.

"I am a sinner who does not expect forgiveness. But I am not a government official." - Francis Wolcott
bad strategy overall
the field and weather basically took away our one big advantage vs. the pats, namely that our front 7 are fast as hell. it was obvious very early…we just could get that speed going. so, if we can’t generate a real pass rush, we should play nickel and dime most of the game, and not blitz. blanket the receivers. sticking to the base D for so long absolutely killed us. had the weather been better, i think our D would have done much better, but that’s no excuse for not adjusting quickly. this isn’t the lions…its the pats. you can’t sit on your butt too long vs. them, or they will kill you. which is precisely what they did.
and too many Bears just didnt show up
Knox, Tillman, Olsen, and the entire Oline stayed home today. Hester, Urlacher, and Manning were the only Bears to show up.

in 5 years of this blog existing i’m not sure there’s been a single poster as pompous as you. which is a shame since you usually post decent comments.
You would have to be in that catagory, youself, my friend....

Here is the problem with the internet...
You don’t know me. I don’t know you. Yet you assume that a simple thing like calling you “hero” is me being pompous when, in fact. I’m just half-drunk and have a military background.
What bothers me is the assumption. That seems far more pompous to me than me calling you an endearing term from my military past. But whatever.

if i inferrred
insult that wasn’t there, then i apologize.
not sure how any of that post could have been meant as anything other than inslutling, but i am no less half drunk than the next guy.
I'll extrapolate the post, for the purpose of peace, lol.
From reading your past posts, I knew better than to assume anything but that you had just misread the post from SJS. So I said to re-read it and used a term of endearment I use frequently with my old military buddies when they do something like that. It’s playful, not insulting.
The Sky is falling is a reference to my original comment that SJS responded to. You seem to be pretty pragmatic to me, so I figured you to be somewhere in the same place I am about the whole “Sky is falling” crowd. You tend to be a bit more pessimistic than I am, but not prone to over-reaction. So that comment final comment was sort of like a wink/nudge between the like minded.
And now my head hurts.

Thankfully...
the Packers lost as well. But what a worthless effort. There is not a Bears player that has anything to be happy about. Knox is my new least valuable Bear. If Chris Harris makes that INT in the first quarter in the endzone, does the game change or does it prolong the inevitable?

I for one didnt think their D would play that well. I expected TB to put up 30 but I thought we could go strike for strike with them. We got out coached, now that DOESNT mean fire Lovie. It means we just werent ready for the team that showed up. Tillman and Knox need to donate their paychecks to charity for this week, and does Tommie Harris even still play for us?
