2009 Regular Season - Week 1 - Bears vs Pack - 9/13 7pm NBC

[Mark Priors Calves]

a few observations of the game:

 

1. the bears are a better team than the packers. they dominated the game in every facet except turnovers.

 

2. turner needs to go. his offense is predictable and frustrating. it's not geared for a dynamic quarterback like cutler and doesn't accent his strengths. hire mike shanahan.

 

3. packer fans are [expletive], although their douche-to-normal ratio is lower than bear fans'.

 

 

He was horrible once again. Turner has had all sorts of time and all sorts of QBs to work with as a pro OC and he's shown nothing to this point. If he somehow screws the pooch with Cutler around it would have to be the end of his time here, right?

If this season turns into a disappointment, Turner is the major candidate to go. Lovie is the D-Coordinator and Head Coach, so if Angelo wants to shake up the coaching staff without being on the hook for Lovie's salary, Turner is the guy who is out.

Sucks about Urlacher being out for the year. I don't like the Bears, but it has to suck for the guy to be healthy to start the season for the first time in forever and then get injured for the year in the very first game.

A Few Thoughts on the Game:

 

-The offensive line was very disappointing. Fred Omiyale was awful last night. Cutler was constantly under pressure and the running game was inept.

 

-Urlacher's injury could be disastrous for the season if he's out for any extended period of time. I'm hoping Hillenmeyer isn't the starting MLB option for next week. He's third on the depth chart at the weak side linebacker and he's inadequate playing the middle against teams that can run the ball.

 

-I'm not as upset with Cutler as some. There's clearly going to be growing pains with him and the wide receivers (especially such a young, inexperienced group). Jay has got to play better, and he will, but I was hoping he'd start his Bears career off much better.

 

-I'm scared for next week. I think the Bears start 0-2, but it will not be the end of the season because the soft second half of the schedule.

Ouch. Urlacher is out for the season? That blows.
