Print-Special shout out to Zach Zaidman for providing real-time tweets of Lovie Smith's press conference this afternoon. Here are some highlights:
- Lovie Smith on the performance vs. KC: "It won't happen many more times hopefully in the future."
- Lovie Smith says Major Wright has a shoulder sprain
- Lovie Smith says D.J. Moore should be back this week
- Lovie Smith says he expects Matt Forte to be back this season
- Lovie Smith: "Caleb's our quarterback."
- Lovie Smith says the Bears not considering bringing in any quarterback from the outside
- Lovie Smith says report on Mike Martz not returning "has to be made up."
- Lovie Smith on Roy WIlliams: "Next time he'll make that play."
- Lovie Smith on Craig Steltz: "Very pleased with what Craig came in and did."
----------------------------------------
So Lovie Smith has basically called BS on two very recent reports: One being that the team would consider looking at Donovan McNabb, and the other being that Mike Martz was expected to be gone after 2011.
Is this just Lovie-speak?

Lovie's eternal optimism is really annoying right now
“Next time….” Lovie’s favorite phrase? Next time isn’t good enough, Lovie. These things have to happen NOW. No, yesterday

Look at it this way....he might win his next challenge!

I just don't understand
Why would you not want to bring in outside help? I realize yesterday was not entirely Caleb’s faultl, but seriously now. His decision making is simply attrocious.

What would you suggest at this point?
And don’t tell me McNabb.

Favre could be dead and we'd STILL be hearing reports
“sources say NFL plans to reanimate Favre’s corpse….”
Honestly, hasn’t the man retired 45 times already? Isn’t the 45th time the charm? :D

I think Martz is gone and I don't think they'll bring in McNabb.
So I think we get half Lovie speak this week. It pains me to hear the “Caleb is our QB stuff” Waiting for the coin flip to see who starts.

After next week, they should put in Enderle

I'd rather see Enderle before McCown at least.
But I think we have to run with Hanie for one more round. No reason why Enderle shouldn’t get a little more prep at this point, though.

More from Zaidman on Twitter
Lovie Smith on Tim Tebow: “This is option football.”
Lovie Smith on Tim Tebow: “Our defense is set up to play this type of offense.”
Lovie Smith on Tim Tebow: “He poses a lot of problems.”
Interesting our Defense is built to stop the option offense. Who knew that’s what all this Cover 2 stuff was created for, stop the College Option Offense!

He didn't mean it like that...
The option works because of open fields, misdirection and speed. The Bears possess enough speed on defense that they should be able to reduce option yardage.

Yeah thats the part that I'm worried a little bit less about
Our offense needs to stop looking like a high school team could outperform it. It would be one thing if Hanie was not compounding his suckiness with all these turnovers. Give the guy two more series and if he does not advance the ball for at least a first down on either of them, yank him and move down the line.
48 minutes of intensity
True
But, he’s also the one throwing the ball. And he has made some horrific throws recently

Looks like we've found someone more optimistic than I am...and prior to the 2 game losing streak as well as losing our two best players on offense that was impossible.
Any ideas how long a “shoulder sprain” could sideline a defensive player such as Wright?
And is there any word as to whether Forte will be considering to play with a bad right knee much like what he did in 2009?

We have officially lost this season.
Lovie is no longer trying.
How do I know this?
Caleb Is Our Quarterback
I really think he is just hoping Cutler returns soon so there won't be any money wasted on bringing in yet another vet QB.

Caleb is our quarterback is essentially saying that we have a piss poor evaluator of talent and that we have to roll with the best looking craptastic qb that is on our roster.
48 minutes of intensity
I am confused...
Is there some sort of Rosetta Stone or place on the internets that can translate this for me? I thought Caleb was the tackling dummy for the practice squad that was promoted while the other one was being stitched up? What the hell is a QB?
FORTE: PAY THE MAN!
Updates the Four-letter network:
Brett Favre would “talk if contacted by the Bears.”
If the Bears do contact him, I am officially giving up on this season. I do not want that revolting piece of inhumanity anywhere near this team.
That
And it would bring forth the possibility of turning into perhaps the biggest QB controversy in the United States. Once Favre is in he’s like an angry dog, he’ll never let go of that starting job, even if Cutler was healthy.

Next Time Roy Catches That?
Really? Have you seen the dude play all year? That’s how it’s been, 1 catch for every 2-3 bobble/drops.
Jay Cutler is still my quarterback.
Formerly GallopingGhost
ROY SHOULD 1) SIT OR 2) GO
Based on the body of work that we have seen from the man who treats every first down like Mardi Gras, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON that any 3rd down pass should float in his direction. He plays scared.
Give his reps to Sanzenbacher. Let’s see what he’s got. Then go get a big wideout who doesn’t make stupid, ridiculous excuses and isn’t terrified of contact.
sanzendropper? no box of chocolates either
But I suppose he’s at least young and can learn, unlike Roy. Sad thing is we just have no depth there. Angelo fail. Pretty much at WR we have earl Bennett, and then all the other guys that make catches every so often but drop all the crucial ones. It’s just… Sad is what it is
