The Bears Den: December 14, 2010

I can take a crap in a box and slap a guarantee on it…I’ve got extra time.

is probably the most level headed, and realistic.

Saying that the decision has to be made today about the Bears/vinkings MNF…..vikings do not want to lose another home game and its the last home game for minny so they want the game in minny….Fighting hard to keep the game in minny (sounds like NFL wants it in det)….Odds are it will be played U of minny field (TCF Bank field or what ever its called) in the end…..

did the vikings logo and what not, really have to be placed on that field? would the players have gotten confused or something? Did the Lions field crew have a lot of extra paint that needed used?

to spend on a ball to toss around in the mud?

I wonder if there’s a retire/unretire/retire/unretire ball? Perhaps in the shape of a waffle?

I knew this signing wasn’t going to have a big impact on our offense.

about the Bears current reality. I agree with his article by and large and it will be interesting to see how far the Bears progress in the playoffs; yes, they are going to the playoffs, no question (honestly, if they miss the playoffs, JA/Lovie have got to be fired). If Lovie can turn this team around and he and the FO add enough talent in the offseason to improve the O and D-lines and a few other positions, I am happy to see at least Lovie stay. I do find it difficult to come up with any reason to bring JA back for another year. What concerns me is that 2 years from now, we will have the same Lovie apologists telling us all how he’s done a great job just getting his team to compete for the playoffs after more mediocrity. IMO, the Bears have changed almost every part of the equation but Lovie and sooner or later he has to bring a positive answer or they need a new equation.

Who won guys? Well maybe this might be the ‘85 bears-dolphins game? Or we could be the ’07 Giants. The offense could be like the ’08 Cards defensewhere they choke in the regular season and come alive in the playoffs. I swear this team is a jigsaw puzzle in red gift wrap nestled under a christmas tree; all the pieces are there, just not put together, and you can’t even see the whole picture.

These are in black & white, and to me, it gives them more of a feel of being from a much older era. The Jay Cutler shot of him looking down is awesome to me and kind of shows the pressure he might feel he is under. Link

Sal Alosi or Darryl McGee?

And their columns demonstrate why I like and respect Haugh’s opinion and I like his writing and why I think Morrissey is an idiot (it may seem counterproductive for me to read a writer I don’t like but I think it’s important to read dissenting opinions).

Morrissey kept using we in one of his articles, “we thought we knew the Bears,” “some of us are doubting,” No, Rick, it’s just you doubting. Don’t drag all us fans, as if you speak for us.

Haugh on the other hand, in my opinion is usually a voice of reason and can get into writing how a fan does/should feel. This season was never about Super Bowl titles, just making the playoffs is a success and we don’t have to like JA and Lovie even if that happens. The Bears will still make the playoffs and that is enough for this season.

Two words I never like to see in the same sentence. Especially when talking about our Bears.

True as they may be, it seems the only time they play for Lovie is when his arse is on the hotseat. Maybe that’s just when he decides to apply himself, I just dunno.

This season has me hopeful and befuddled. I do predict 3-0 from here on. Playoffs?

Yeah sure, but who do we get first? Which Bears squad will show up?

I don’t know why it’s called 10 thoughts
