I imagine you guys have seen this, but wtf

[Sammy Sofa]

N+G is right, this team is just gonna get nothing done on offense.

 

Yeah, sorry, I don't care if they're 7-3, I don't care if this win this game; this team isn't going anywhere if they make the playoffs.

 

Beating the Vikings isn't going to do much to change my opinion, plus how the defense has looked in the GB and SF games. They're much more likely to face that than the Vikings or the Panthers or the week 1 Colts.

How did the defense play poorly in the GB game?

 

Where am I talking about the defense? How much more clearly do I have to say that the OL and the offensive playcalling are the critical weaknesses? The defense has been stellar most games, but they can't do everything. Even if they had been on in the SF game the Bears are almost certainly losing that game; you can't count on defensive scoring like that.

.

 

Oh, yeah, I was talking about the defense; my mistake mentioning the GB game. It still stands as a demonstration of how the offensive flaws are too glaring. A good team has too good a chance to shut down the Bears' offense. The Bears' defense has been great, but look at the differences between their "bend, don't break" approach and how teams can take out the Bears; there's not even any chance for "bending" because they can just swamp the offense and either shut it down or make it implode because of Tice and the OL. That's the really frustrating part, because it's not like this is just a bad offense being taken out; you have incredibly talented parts that can't be anywhere near being fully utilized because of inexplicably poor organizational choices with the OL and coaching. I'm not crazy mad about the team or furious; I'm just depressed that to me it seems likely to be another wasted year of a very, very good defense and having guys like Cutler and Forte and Marshall.

So stupid Cutler...

[ctcf]

Oh [expletive] you refs

[Derwood]

Lol

[BigSlick]

well that was insanely stupid cutler, way to likely cost yourselves a touchdown

[ctcf]

Aw man, Forte almost had a great hole there.

[Soul]

Sheesh.

 

A guy launches himself with his helmet at Cutler and gets no penalty yardage, and Cutler flips the ball at a guy and gets 15 yards.

 

Something not right with that.

[ctcf]

Ahhhh the traditional frustrated Jay timeout. I missed those.

[kujay]

And the pointless use of TO.

[Omar]

Cutler, Why?

[ctcf]

lol Marshall. Bring out Robbie!

[BigSlick]

Um.... don't run backwards for no reason

[Derwood]

Ahhhh the traditional frustrated Jay timeout. I missed those.

 

I'd be frustrated too. Tice only has like 10 plays....how long does it take to pick one?

[Sammy Sofa]

I love that you pronounced that the Bears, in week 12, will accomplish nothing in the playoffs and now are acting like the rest of us are being illogical. Let it go.

 

Uh, yeah, I didn't say anyone was being "illogical" and the only one who has been called "crazy" is me, so nice spin there, chief. I'd love to be wrong, but that offensive line and the existence of Mike Tice gives me The Fear.

 

Your responses have taken that tone, NG.

 

It's ok to admit you made a silly knee-jerk comment, which you did.

 

Really? What tone is that? The one where I say "I don't think the team will do anything in the playoffs?" How much more matter of fact could I say that or anything else I've posted today?

 

Like I said, I'd love to be wrong.

Nice play Hester.

[treebird]

cutler and marshall form the unexpected alliance of stupidity

[ctcf]

Feel free to go back and read your responses man, I'm not wasting any more time watching you be defensive about a dumb knee-jerk reaction.

[ctcf]

cutler and marshall form the unexpected alliance of stupidity

 

Yea did not expect that. Gotta love Chicago media, though:

 

John Mullin @CSNMoonMullin

hilarious pers foul on Vikings, then idiotic taunt by Cutler with silly after-hit ball toss - zero composure

 

I hope "no composure" becomes the new soft.

[ctcf]

0 first downs for the Vikes during the 1st

[BigSlick]

0 first downs for the Vikes during the 1st

All we need to do is keep them to 0 first downs all game and I like our chances

[BigSlick]

Hester is injured? Oh my god I'm so excited to see someone that can play wide receiver
