I'm hearing that high-level meetings will take place at Halas Hall today, but there is no word of any announcement expected, yet. #Bears

I can't decide if that's more or less ridiculous than his post-touchdown celebrations.

Bears Road games in 2013:

 

GB

Minny

Detroit

Philly

Washington

Cleveland

Pittsburgh

STL

Coming to grips with this after being bummed out a bit last night. Whatever....non-Bears fans will group this team historically with the other 24 teams that didn't make the playoffs, just like the other 10-6 (and 11-5) teams that failed to make it. Did the Bears deserve to make the playoffs? Yes I think they did. They were a deeply flawed team with elite talent holding things together but in an NFL where over a third of the teams make it, that should have been good enough. It's just hard to get too upset when the team was 7-1 and had a 97% chance to make the playoffs. If they had went 5-3 and 5-3, I might be a little more upset for some reason.

 

Funny, when I was running through all the scenarios to get in the playoffs before the Arizona game, I kept purposely leaving out the Vikings, only saying 'if they can win in Houston and against GB to get in, then they just deserve to go over us', and that's exactly what happened.

Talked to a source with knowledge of the the #Bears process. On coach Lovie Smith: "It's not looking good " #Staytuned

#Bears assistants are freaking out inside the building. Coach Lovie Smith's status is "not looking good." Decision time for the #Bears.

Cutler on ESPN 1000 now.

What? Who the hell is freaking out? Is Tice doing the Hulk Smash?

[Rex Buckingham]

Biggs' article mentioned that all Bears TEs combined for 29 catches this year, last among all NFL teams for catches among TEs.

 

That number was beaten by 32 different TEs individually

[Banedon]

ROFL...Cutler talking about McDaniels.

 

Silvy: "How would you feel if they brought in McDaniels?"

 

Cutler: "Uhhh...it'd be awkward"

Whoa: Bears have sent out consent forms requesting permission to interview head-coaching candidates.

Going to be interesting to listen to the Cutler podcast considering this is breaking while he's on.

I REALLY like Lovie, but he needs to learn to worry about both sides of the ball. I wish him luck in the future.

 

Any guesses where he might end up?

Yes!!! This is the consolation prize and the best gift of missing the playoffs. Ding dong the witch is dead.

He's on now, due to media player media availability later. Cutler not saying much.
