bad.

How are you supposed to know the whistle would be blown if it is blown after you have already launched yourself in the air?

This game is enough to make me think that we may, indeed, miss the playoffs.

 

And yes, Lovie *should* be fired if we do miss the playoffs after starting 7-1.

[cubbyvirus00]

I'm gonna say that we need a new defensive line almost as much as we do a new offensive line.

 

Yeah we probably can use another DE since Shea was a shitty pick.

You can't feel too confident going against GB next week. People were acting like I was crazy with the Lovie talk and the 'offense is a joke' mantra.

[USSoccer]

Well, if they harbor any delusions of coming back, they probably ought to stop this play

[UMFan83]

Is it bad that I'm playing on the playoff machine trying to figure out scenarios that get the Bears into the playoffs at 8-8?

Holy overgeneralizations, Batman.

Melton and Paea are quality and Collins provides nice depth. The DEs are questionable with Peppers and Idonije aging, Wootton and McClellin not progressing. Too many other holes, though.

Your quote was 'The Bears offense is not horrible.'

Urlacher retires. Shea moves to ML. The great Emery knew this all along.

I still think we finish 10-6 and get in. I had this and next weeks game as a loss coming into today, with the next 2 being wins.

 

I guess I didn't consider the level of panic and negativity that would surround the team if they went from 7-1 to 8-6 but I'll stick to my prediction. The Vikings are just nearly unbeatable at home....I never expect to win here unless snow caves in the roof.

[cubbyvirus00]

Does anyone else cringe when watching Davis with the ball in his hands?

Momentum after losing a bunch in a row, though. That's the thing. Trying to pick up the pieces after dropping games to all these teams -- it's pretty hard. We'll beat Arizona though. That's non-negotiable :)

[cubbyvirus00]

Lol @ Kellen Davis with another big drop.

[USSoccer]

-They need to probably start hurrying up

 

-They should stop throwing to Davis

[Soul]

Another drop by a TE, what do ya know.

[Smack]

[expletive] you davis

[Tryptamine]

Just stop giving the ball to Kellen he's terrible in every aspect of the game.

[USSoccer]

That's a personal foul there

Yeah, and it still is; my response is based on you inexplicably thinking people called you crazy for talking about Love when EVERYONE has been talking about whether he stays or goes. Hell, our discussion about the Bears' offense was one of the few times I DIDN'T act like you were meatball and actually talked to you.

 

And no, I don't think it's horrible. It's little more than a semantics argument, but to me a horrible offense is one that has to be overhauled. An offense that is set at QB, #1 WR, potentially #2 WR and at RB isn't horrible. They need serious help at the OL and at TE and I'd love to see an upgrade from Tice, but you're talking like the thing needs to be burnt down and rebuilt.

[kujay]

I'm [expletive] tired of teams abusing our QB.

[Soul]

Cutler is tagged for the hospital. It's really only a matter of time.

[Sammy Sofa]

That's about the only time I don't since he's inexplicably hard to tackle. I cringe seeing him do everything else.
