The Bears Den: August 30, 2010

“in a couple of weeks they let us start over”, brilliant man! Don’t you think you should maybe not wait a couple weeks? Got some serious “bonein’ up” to do bub, if you can get done in a couple weeks what you couldn’t the last couple of years, I’ll jump off the “It’s not to late to fire Lovie bandwagon”. I’m not seein’ any lumps or bumps anytime soon though.

I don’t know man, unless Maranelli is playing cutesie and laying in the weeds type of thing, only hope will be the offense somehow coming alive and becoming that scoreing machine they keep refering to and just keep puttin’ up points to try and outlast ’em.

The “d was playing vanilla” and I’m not sure it will change. Lovie and the Bears refused to get a real DC, so what is there convincing everyone that it is by choice we play that way? Lovie’s scheming was a failure last year and now we have a DL coach to “save” and “reinvent” this D?

Something tells me it is more like this

But “it’s only the preseason” and “we didn’t plan for this game” etc. etc.

Wow. just….wow. That is some insightful analysis, right there. My eight year old was yelling at Clark through the TV against Oakland. (And he knew that it wasn’t Mannelly before the moronic Raiders analysts did, too……)

Talk about stating the obvious…..

It’s OK if Cutler isn’t the best quarterback on the field if the guy outplaying him is Tony Romo or Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers. When it’s Derek Anderson, you give thanks there’s a baseball pennant race to keep Chicago’s interest until hockey season.

We’ve all been waiting for him to play like a good QB, not a below average one.

If this is the honeymoon, this could be a rocky union.

I liken this season to a bride’s nightie: up and down.

We do have 2 good backs and with BM blocking along with the O-line we should start off with the running game a bit more to set up the play action. It just doesn’t look like the offense is on the same page for the greatest show on grass version 1.0.

sound as if the team is already 0-3 or something. I’m not trying to dismiss the obvious deficiencies so far, but let’s see if they can right the ship in time for the Lions.

per Zaidman’s Twitter:

“I think a lot of the time people don’t know what they’re talking about, as far as when they look at teams and they try to dissect the defense. Everyone seems to be a critic and know the Cover-2. Everyone in the league runs Cover-2. There’s always this, ‘Why do they run so much Cover-2, why do they do, you know?’ Everyone in the league runs some form of Cover-2. All 32 teams run Cover-2.”

you know, i keep thinking somethings going to change against the lions.its like we are playing crap preseason and when we do enter the field against detroit we are totally different. the real cutler shows up a totally revamped o-line gets going and when we dont have the ball defense is awesome.THEN THE ALARM SOUNDS AND I SEE ITS MORNING

on the fence on this season but i am feeling this all has to be blamed on the coaches.. missed tackles, blown assignments, soft play, out of shape players.. ive watched some other teams play this pre season as well and they play hard and fast and scheme.. why go " vanilla" if you need to practice the system your playing??

im not feeling good about this martz hire.. he was run out of san fran and detroit and it takes years as some say to master it so why implement a system which begs to win now or else? this team is poorly run!!!!!

Turner was never any good as an OC should have never brought him back in the first place. Should have brought Martz in a year ago.

the time to rebuild the OL was after the 06 season,.the only move they made that made any sense was drafting Williams. You’d think they would have been tripping over their feet to rush out and get O-linemen as soon as they got Cutler. When Omiyale and Shaffer didn’t solve the problem why didn’t they go out and sign a couple more vets this year?

plenty of #1 WR’s changing teams over the last couple of years why don’t we have one of them?

Was Chris Harris the only veteran Safety we could have gone after?

was Tim Jennings the only vet. CB we could have brought in?

You got to scratch your head over things like letting Alex Brown go cuz he was scheduled to make 8mil when they are paying Frank Omiyale 6mil this year.

I don’t blame the coaches as much as the front office. But I do blame the coaches for the poor 3rd down defense that and not having Urlacher on the field to call adjustments.

.

These Bears are starting to remind me of the 1974 Bears. Abe Gibron was the coach and he was terrible and so was the team. The only thing he has over Lovie is that he wore his emotions on his sleeve. Alas, gents and ladies, lets face it we’ve been here before and we know what we’re looking at. I watched several games over the weekend and I saw other coaches interact with the players and other assistants. Lovie does none of that. He stands there either befuddled or acting as he was above it all. FIRE Lovie now. It’s too late to save the season. We may have a few players that have skills, but for the most part the rest would be second stringers on other teams. I say clean house, starting with the McCaskeys. They should sell the team to someone who cares about putting a football team on the field worthy of the passion the fans have for their football team. I LOVE THE BEARS. This S**t has got to come to an end. I am sick and tired of it. Chicago is a great city with great sports fans. Witness the Blackhawks championship and the fervor it caused in the city. I say we boycott, lest I leap from the ledge. AAARRRGGGGG!!!!!!!!
