The Facts of Life... The Bears Rocked on Sunday and You Were There....

PrintWell, well, well, ladies and gents it would appear that the Bears are 2-0. After a highly entertaining game on Sunday, the Bears appear to be headed in the right direction. Lovie Smith was actually smiling after the game. He showed teeth and everything!! Troy Aikman didn’t appear (to me) to hold any bias as he broadcasted the game but he did contribute heavily to my sense of confusion as he (repeatedly) referred to a punt as a field goal attempt. I wasn’t sure we were watching the same game.
Is it just me or did our offensive line get better after Williams got hurt? Dane, you can hate all day long but I thought Kevin Shaffer looked serviceable. I’m not sure Brandon Manumaleuna can block any better than Greg Olsen but I am pretty sure I can gain more yards on a punt return than Hester did when he ran 22 yds for a 5 yard loss. Hell, a fair catch would have been a better net. But he did follow it up with a big time NFL caliber TD catch so ya take the good, ya take the bad, ya take em both, and then you have the best of the in game posts. Again I’ll offer up the Academy Award finalists but enough of my crap - join me for the best of your crap after the jump....
We begin with this attack from Captain Obvious
Chitownproduct: I read somewhere that the Bears have not won in these 3 stadiums Texans stadium, Patriots stadium, and the new Cowboy’s stadium. Even if we lose this game, i want to show the world we are not a joke this year. Rise up and Bear Down!
Kev H (Capt O): Well of course they haven't. They haven’t played in it yet.
Allie: Stockton is the worst announcer I've EVER heard I’d rather have Ron Santo & Hawk Harrelson in a booth together for 4 hours than 10 minutes of Stockton.
awfullyquiet: you just described my perfect hell.
Allie: Why has Calvin Johnson caught so little crap about the "catch"? Don’t let go of the ball, and you win. Mind-boggling.
T-Train: Well gentlemen......The new wife will be back soon, and we’re headed up to the seclusion of our room to watch our first game as husband and wife on a brand new 46" LG that she made me buy because the Bears deserve to be watched on something bigger than the 32" we had in the room (I picked a good one, eh?)., I’ll talk to all of you tomorrow.! Bear Down! BTW, Mrs. Train predicts Bears win 31-24!
"watch our first game as husband and wife"..... is that what they’re calling it these days?
Smudgers: All I'm saying is... I heard Buddy Ryan on the radio and then found a Butkus McFarlane "action figure" at the target (in South Carolina) today… feeling pretty optimistic!
Arbusto: The oline looks like something I just left in the toilet.
Juicebox: whatever is in your toilet could probably block better
Torch: You leave Swiss cheese in the toilet?
tfrabotta: Favre crunched on a sack!!!
Juicebox: there is a god
pygreg: and he hates jay cutler
pygreg: Apparently Childress went for it on 4th and 2 earlier instead of taking a FG Pass was batted down. NFC North = domain of excellent coaching
Smudgers: Can we trade for Logan Mankins...in the middle of the game?
Chitownproduct: challenge Lovie
David in Maine: Lovie has been challenged his whole career.....
Awkward yet funny....
Arbusto: I just peed a little Knox…I want to have your babies as soon as I have a surgery to implant a uterus.
Cryptic....
awfullyquiet: we are who we thought they were?
torch: Wade Phillips says I’m not getting out-bad-challenged today!!
Allie: a quarterback is such such an awesome thing. i never knew
Juicebox: lovie is clapping and nodding...holy god
Then we have a long rant by yours truly to start the second half game thread. Won’t toot my own horn but I was epically alone on this thread for far too long.
Arbusto: If almost mattered The Lions win last week.
Allie: oh for fresh's (edit) sake can we grow up?
Really Allie?
Best typo:
62GTO: just ass jack
Cosmis: Does anyone else Really want to punch Joe Buck in the face?
Nando21: no, but i would like a shot at lovie
Who says we’re not educational....
McRipper: This offensive line makes me want to eat my own stuff (edit)
Maelvampyre: copraphilia
Bears-Cubs Bulls: EAT STUFF (edit) FOX NFL SUNDAY
David in Maine: FOX just showed lovie with a huge smile….. I think he was kidnapped by Aliens and they snuck in a replacement when they returned him…..
MetalGearPeaceWalker: Was Pam Oliver just hitting on Jay Cutler? But then again if you put up 21-29 3 TD and about 270 yrds I’d hit on him too…and I’m a grown man as Mike Gundy would say.
And now for those Award Winners.....
Best prognostication
Dils: To me this this is the "gravy" game meaning that this is the game that most think the Bears are going to lose. I personally picked them to win this one but if they don’t, it still sets up well for a big game against the Packers next Monday. But if the Bears do pull this win off today… Then we may very well have something here.

Best Swearing Tirade...
Cloudy Future: Holy Moly freaking flip flaps (edited severly)….actual adjustments……ron turner would have never thought of that….

Best sarcastic comeback of the night....
Allie: if your picky about spelling i suggest staying out of game threads.
Arbusto: *you're
Most wildly inappropriate yet funny exchange of the day....
Allie: don't get cute when you need 6 inches.
Arbusto: It's easier to get 6 inches when you're cute... Just sayin’
Best insider commentary...
BL3ACH: johnny freaking know
BL3ACH: knox*
Arbusto: Oh, we knox.
Best adjective for Mannely...
Cosmis: Manjestic
I like this one for sooooooo many reasons. We'll call it the best use of euphimisms and comment of the night:
the hellbilly: NOTHING would make me smile more... than the Bears giving the Cowboys some payback for the beating back in ‘07 at Soldier Field. That memory still makes me angry enough to punch a baby in the face. The ’Boys came into OUR house and beat us like rented mules, injuring 3 of our players in the process. I’m not saying that I hope any Dallas players get hurt today, but our Bears players need to be just as physical as the opponents… And for the sake of Ditka’s moustache, HOLD ONTO THE BALL!
Great stuff as always ladies and gents. I think we can all see that the clear winner this week was Arbusto, Allie, BL3ACH, Cosmis, and everyone else who contributed, with honorable mentions going to Smudgers and Juicebox for copyright infringement. Be sure to play again next week when we face the Great Green Nemesis from the North....

Isn't that kinda like saying
Lovie has some qualities that one would find in an NFL coach?
There is no "Off Position" for the Genius Switch - David Letterman
Meh, not really...
Was it just me, or did the line play better once they did that little shift? I’m not talking world beaters here, but better.
Lovie Smith is NOT an NFL head coach.
Just You!
It was obvious that Jay needed to go to 1/2 step (LOL) drops instead of 5 or 7 steps.
Bleacher report graded out our coaching at a B+ … ie:
“Mike Martz adjusted his offense, and did it to Cutler’s advantage. Shorting the drop steps, and making quick passes. Those were key to Chicago’s offensive success in this game.”
Again, a dump off here or there a few screens mixed in and you have problem solved by an OC that knows how to adjust on the fly.
In a 1/2 step drop you could have your granny in a wheelechair lined up out there for us making the other D-Line go around, jump over, …or even steamroller her over, it just needs to give a guy as quick as Cutler an extra Nano-Second to make the play :)
When they they has to run block, they still looked like shit, no matter who was in there :(
Go Bears!

Note to self: When employing subtle sarcasm, always use italics
I’d say that little shift was more than little (in conjunction with the 3 step drop), it was the game (offensively).

I attribute those to Martz and Tice
Not to Lovie, especially because of the history he has with this Bears offense.
After 5 years of stupid assistant decisions...
even a monkey tossing darts at a barn could do something right…

i think the monkey
would have hit the jackpot with throwing darts faster than what lovie has done.
by Coz_Bulls_Fan on Sep 21, 2010 9:15 PM CDT up reply actions
i'm not sure
you can even credit him with that. well, not Martz. Tice was his first choice. Martz was a last hope for him and Martz is making him look good.

But then we're giving credit to
Satan I mean Angelo. Be careful what you wish for….
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
hahaha
not wishing to give him credit. i refuse to give him credit at all at this point. if any credit is given at all, it’s to the McCaskeys for opening their wallets to add the talent and assistants we have now. i refuse to give him credit for even choosing the assistants he has now because him hiring them doesn’t make him look good. the job they have done only make them look good. :)

I stand
by my statement….Just with the actual swearing that was in it…..
It was very boring. Followed by a short period of terrifying….
- Jay Cutler on getting ready for Sunday's with the current offensive line
Eck...took me two days to get up to coming over
But good game, guys. I’ll admit I’d underestimated y’all, as did the team, from what they’re saying.
Ah well, hopefully the next time we meet it’ll play out differently.
God Bless Texas
We respect a rival fan who can man up like that. Now, if that mentally challenged Cowboys fans who was swearing at us in a couple of posts prior to the game shows up to do the same…..

Dall Ass
the Bears will never get any positive recognition from any TV stations on the East coast, IE ESPN, ABC, CBS, NBC. It seems the west coast or central USA are not up to East coast standards. check the games shown and you will see most are on the east coast. The only way a central division or western division team is on Sunday is if Dall ASS is playing Seattle or LA. No Bias in the NFL, Bullsh@#.
Wildly inappropriate but funny
may just be the best description of my usual conversations, ever.
Also, I still stand by my (very edited) comment. Some people really do need to grow up. And if no one else is gonna call it out, I will. :-P

By reacting with a similar level of immaturity?
THAT was priceless…. I know what you meant but…. good stuff. Your game thread posts are consistently impressive. Keep it up.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
You'll have to celebrate Monday without me
I’m afraid.
Won’t be home until 3rd Q at least, and then food comes before computer/football.

Pick something up on your way home, sit down, turn on your t.v., eat som chow, and continue the beat down of the Pack, by our beloved Bears

There isn't anything along the way home
Oh, the joy of living in the sticks.
I will however find it on the radio for the half hour drive home. So, we’ll see.

Living in the sticks
I live in the sticks, we have one traffic light in our town, but less traffic.
Why not order something from somewhere on your way home, so it will show up right after you get home.

No one delivers to my house
Which gets exceptionally annoying.
But, I’ll be able to catch from the 3Q on, I just won’t log in.

No delivery here either… and no stoplights. I feel your pain! At least it’s peaceful… :]

Well
Try living in Puerto Rico!! Absolutely no Bears coverage (tv or radio), media, stuff in stores and especially fans! Very limited fan base, maybe it’s me and my brother and he’s in Arizona so… is bull to say the least (we do have a lot of haters). Hey, at least I get Domino’s or Pizza hut… PH sucks though. Thanks WCG, Thanks. (too commercial like?)
Pof, Pof, Pasa! Watch out for the monsters!
Personally
Nothing on this site has made me happier than seeing “Manjestic” being recognized for its Manjestic-ness.
