Special thanks to Zach Zaidman for providing the coverage of Lovie Smith's press conference through his twitter feed. Below are some quotes...

- Lovie Smith: "Our passing game kind of failed us yesterday."

- Lovie Smith says Knox is out for the rest of the season

- Lovie Smith says Chris Conte has a foot sprain

- Lovie Smith says the Bears must find solutions quickly

- Lovie Smith says the Bears are not talking about the playoffs anymore, just about getting their 8th win

- Lovie Smith says Johnny Knox's surgery is not complete yet

- Lovie Smith: "Right now, Caleb Hanie is our starting quarterback."

- Lovie Smith: "Right now, we're disappointed in our quarterback play."

- Lovie Smith says the fact the Bears have not been eliminated should be enough motivation at this point

- Lovie Smith on Devin Hester: "Devin is trying to work through some pain."

- Lovie Smith: "I think you can still win by being able to run the football and having ball security on the offensive side."

-----------------------------

Others have tweeted that Lovie is only stating that Hanie is currently starting at QB, but would not divulge who would be starting next week against Green Bay.

Hopefully we will hear soon about Johnny Knox's surgery...

Guess nothing notable about Cutler and his immediate future

Jay Cutler is our QB, and I for one am proud of that

The only noteable thing should come

When he gets the pins out and is ready to do drills come springtime. No need to be idiotic and try to rebuild a trainwreck at this point.

I would recommend...

Barbados or Aruba…but Jamaica is also nice!

There's a fine line between stupid...and clever!

I've been to Barbados and Jamaica

both are very nice and not overly expensive. Ah…sun and sand would be nice right about now.
