For starters fire the Coaches and trade Jay Cutler!!! (Part 2)
For (Part 1) of the gospel according to Da Meatball Kid click here, and that link will pop like Jay Cutler's MCL!!! LOL!!! QUITTER!!!
First off to answer your most pressing question, YES!!! I did win my WoW tournament!!! I'm kind of a big deal in that realm as well! And now to the matter at hand. Take the jump and I'll give you the rest of the TRUTH!!!
And those stupid coaches!!! It's time to move on! I want my coach to spit when he screams and to spew some cussing at the players! Some one with the fire and the passion, not some robot like Lovie Smith! I don't give a damn if the players like or respect their coach, I hated my coach in highschool, that's what these pampered primadonna athletes need. Someone to get in their face and tell them like it is! It's not to late to hire Mike Singletary on as Head Coach. Get a guy in here that won't put up with any BS and someone that will kick some butt!!!
I know the Bears ended up running the ball more as the season went on, but Mike Martz is gonna go back to his stupid 7 step drop ways next year, I just know it! Pink slip him and bring in a run the ball down your throat type coordinator.
And get a defensive coordinator in here that will BLITZ!!! Back in highschool we ran a 4-4 stack defense and we blitzed on every play! Teams hated playing us, we may not have won much but teams knew they were in a game after beating us.
It's time to scrap the entire enchilada and rebuild! I know I can do a better job than Jerry Angelo! The last 7 years straight I've finished in the top 5 each year in my fantasy league. And on Madden I always rebuild the Bears into a Juggernaut on franchise mode! If I can be that good in those two team building simulations, imagine what I could do with the money and resources of a pro team!!! Maybe bring on Mike Ditka as an adviser to oversee football operations, then I'd be unstoppable!!!
Truth has been told, you fools have been schooled!!! And you scrubs will never see me around here again, I gotta gig writing at Bleacher Report!!! C-YA!!! Da Meatball Kid is out!!!

Your high Schools Defense - Get Real
Let’ see. You admit your highschool often lost using this “4-4” defense while team blitzed on every play. Now you want the Chicago Bears to use this same “losing” defense. Way did the other teams not enjoy playing your team? Was it because your team played such a dumb defense the other teams got bored. I bet your coaches spit, screamed, spewed and cussed after each of your pathetic losses. It didn’t stop the lossing did it? Repectfully Mr. Witfong, your better than this.

we ran a 1-1-9 at my school, we keep getting burned deep so we went wiith the uno-uno-niner as my coaches called it. By god any time the other team heaved one up and we had the personnel to deal with it. Only downside was we gave up 70 yards a carry but you make an omelet you break a few eggs.

Lovie Smith’s primary goal was to beat the Packers. Just how many games have they played and how many of those have the Bears won. I believe Lovie Smith failed to make his goal and has worn out his welcome. If Cutler had some coaching he might be okay, but I worry about his diabetic condition. Diabetes can make a person Jekyll and Hyde-like. Maybe he is damaged good, but he does have a heck of an arm. Maybe he could share the duties with Hanie or someone else if coached the right way. I do not see the Bears making the most of their personnel and that is a coaching problem. How many draft choices were wasted in recent years. Look what Ditka did with what he had. He made them Monsters. Right now I see very little player development. Someone has to show these players what to do to become better.
Actually the Monsters of the Midway dates back to the 40s Bear teams
and I assume U are being saracastic here with this post as per the theme of the thread. If not please continue with your analysis, I find it quite enlightening.

Wow....
I’m disappointed in you Les. No sarcasm here.
You managed to use a cheap sarcastic couple of posts to try to discredit via ridicule any decent. Not what I expected for you or WCG.
And, for the record, I agree with you, when we speak seriously on all of your points here.
Cutler did a good job this year, and I have defended him as much as anyone. Lovie earned some leeway, but ridiculing people who are tired of mediocrity (and seeing the playoffs one time in the last 4 years is mediocre, not to mention the incredible amounts of inconsistency out of the Chicago Bears since 2004) and who, in many if not most cases, have held the belief that Smith should be let go for far longer than one poor playoff outing is below you. It comes off more childish than enlightened and more snide than funny, feeling like an attempt to shut up the opposing viewpoint through mocking caricature.
I actually found this more offensive than most of the comments here than have gotten people banned because this was ridicule of a decent sized portion of WCGs membership by a member of the staff.
And members and staff may feel free to hammer me for this comment all they wish, but this post didn’t make me mad, it disappointed me. How can we have a site with an honest and free flow of ideas when we have one of the most respected members of the staff posting front page satirization of, judging by just the poll that also graces the front page of this site measuring whether members here approve or disapprove of Lovie Smith, possibly 40% of the membership?
Maybe I’m missing something here, and if I am, let me apologize. But I honestly feel that, if I have this right, this kind of intellectual bullying is a disservice to the idea I thought set this site apart from the rest.

No, I don't think that's what he did, Train...
I mean, I think he hit all the points that we see around here, and you’re right, he does sarcastify them… but haven’t we always descended on people that use these arguments (It worked in Madden! My fantasy team is awesome!) or bring nothing in logic or evidence to the table like vultures?
If someone wants to use these arguments to have a conversation, but actually converses, or brings stats or information to back it up, there’s usually never been an issue. And we definitely have our share of negative posters here (How long has LostinSTL been saying Lovie needs to go?). I don’t think Les’ shot is at them.

I wouldn't say it's about being "better."
I’ll admit, it gave me a little pause when I saw part one, and I first saw part two yesterday in my networking class, and I had to look around nervously to make sure no one thought I was logged onto FireJerryAngelo.com. ;) Just kidding, big guy.
As I said, I don’t think it’s the subject matter he was digging at. I think it was the manner in which the general “meatball” arguments are constructed: Loud noises! Exclamation points!!!!!! Lack of facts and hey, screw you, I know what I’m talking about, I’m awesome at Madden! That’s the part I think is being driven away here. That’s not a banishing of negative arguments in general.
I think it’s about recognizing that we here at WCG tend to be and are better than that. So if he can’t poke fun at the “meatballs” via this medium… does this mean he shouldn’t have introduced the Superfans to the site, which glorifies the complete opposite end of the spectrum in optimism and love of everything Bears? How about the seemingly endless reccing of anything that has the hint of the word Ditka in it?

Yes, you are missing something... something big.
Go take a look at some Yahoo and YouTube comments threads. Probably doesn’t matter which threads; just take your pick.
And then imagine waking up and coming to WCG, and seeing all of the juvenile garbage, all-caps lock, lack of sentence structure, stupid stupidness all over our comment threads, and multiple FanPosts written in the same manner. That’s what we’ve woken up to in recent days.
We have a very high standard of excellence here, and have built our community on a foundation of intelligent football discussion.
People are welcome to dissent all day long- arguments and exaggerated ideas are most certainly welcome. It’s the childishness, juvenile behaviors, and lack of actual substance in peoples arguments that we can’t have.

Appropriate Slighted Response
I see T-Train’s point/fear about how Les’ response is a peg below what is normally highlighted on WCG, i.e. solid analysis and opinion from the “powers-that-be,” but I feel like it was necessary based on the ludicrous amount of vitriol spewed after the game by talking heads, reporters, NFL players, and specifically fans of our team. It was bad enough to have seemingly the entire NFL herd hating on our QB, team, and coaches, but the fact that so many fans dropped a successful season at the chance to jump on the “hate the Bears” bandwagon was frustrating and required a look-yourself-in-the-mirror observation. Well done, Les.

I'm curious how many of the 40% that disapprove of Lovie
Only do so because he has no fire or passion? To me that’s not a basis for hiring or firing someone to coach a football team. And I’m pretty sure that has no bearing your your personal displeasure of him as a coach. If you want to talk scheme, play calling, player development, time management that’s fine. But you tune into sports radio in Chicago and you’ll hear about half of the callers that sound something like the above rant from Da Meatball Kid.
‘Hello, this is Todd from Maywood… and I’m tired of Lovie Smith just standing there doing nothing, I remember Coach Ditka yelling and screaming all the time, flipping of the fans, getting in arguments with Buddy Ryan… The Bears need someone with more fire and passion’
And all those polls usually reflect depending on whether the Bears win or lose, and since the Bars just lost, it’s natural for the poll to be a little higher in the disapprove category.

So if a WCG poster wants a coach with fire
And does not agree that now makes him da meatball kid just for having a different opinion? If someone disapproves for that reason and that reason only, well he is still a Bears fan, still a WCG member and still a contributor to the site and fandom?
I get there are way different poster types but my initial thought when reading this is how many meatballs support Lovie? I have seen many posts with nothing more than “players like Lovie” which one could argue brings nothing more than da meatball.
Much respect for you man but be careful lumping everyone into categories. And I am hoping this doesn’t come off as rude, its hard to gage communication through internet and I certainly don’t mean it that way.

The players in the locker room respecting their Head Coach is a meatball stance?
Respecting your leader and playing hard for him is on equal footing with the Xs and Os in my opinion.
How many coaches are fired in every sport because they “lost” the locker room? Managing personalities is a huge part of successful coaching. If you are treating everyone the same way, chances are you’re treating most of them the wrong way.
And also it’s my opinion that if someone wants Lovie fired ONLY because they want a yeller and a screamer and someone that will go around high fiving the players and slapping them on the butts, then that is a meatball argument.

Not at all
Playing hard for a coach, respect, and having control of the locker room are much more than “players like Lovie” just as game management, personnel evaluations and the ability to motivate are much more than “Lovie shows no emotion”
by TheMan1 on Jan 26, 2011 12:07 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Now, see.....
I do agree with TheMan, here, that if the opinion that the fact that the players want to play for Smith is the sole reason, as TM stated above has been the final argument of more than a few around here, that this is no different than wanting Smith gone solely because he doesn’t display his emotions.
The players in Chicago and Buffalo expressed support and a desire to play for Dick Jauron. That doesn’t make Jauron a good head coach and it doesn’t make keeping him a good idea. Players not respecting a coach is a fine reason to dismiss a Coach. You can’t lead people who don’t respect you. But there are also many who are respected who aren’t cut out be a head coach, either. As Jauron proved as recently as this season.
Marinelli is another fine example. His players in Detroit definitely liked and respected him. He took all the blame intentionally and the players respected and liked him for it. It didn’t mean Detroit should have kept him. Roy Willliams, who got away before the “Epic Failure” has huge respect for Rod. He’s said before that if, and I’m paraphrasing, Marinelli had a real team he would be one of the best head coaches in the league. I remember Kevin Smith talking about his admiration for Rod and how the Hot Rod made him tough. Should Marinelli have been kept after 0-16?
TM’s point in equating the “players love Lovie” argument with the “Lovie is a robot” argument is spot on. Both are meaningless by themselves. If Lovie is a robot and doesn’t motivate the team, then it becomes part of the equation. If the players want to play for Lovie, and they continue to win, then it also becomes part of the equation. but either as a stand alone argument is wet paper bag…..it hold’s nothing.

I sent you a copy of the reply I sent to Dane...
It should cover your first point about “how many of the 40%”.
And you are absolutely correct in that his fire/passion isn’t the only reason for my displeasure with Smith. In fact, it’s not even in the reasons. I don’t care, personally, what a coach chooses to show publicly in the way of emotions, and I have no idea what he does in the locker room. And as long as the players are well coached and well motivated, I don’t care if he’s branding them with hot irons, singing “You Are My Sunshine” to them, or sitting them down every day to watch and recite old Stuart Smalley “Daily Affirmations”.

We all have issues...
with coaching decisions, player performances, etc game-to-game, thats part of being a fan. I’m glad Les pointed out how ridiculous some so-called fans have been by condemning everything and anything Bear-related. I was baffled with the end-around call, but some people have gone off the deep-end in tearing our team apart. I for one, love bashing Lovie for serving as a coma patient during games, but don’t think its a reason for losing a game.

You just tipped your hand that you had a run called… why not run a playaction off the draw? Give Green Bay a similar look to the Forte draw, but have Hanie pull back and throw.
