Bears @ Seahawks 9/27/15 3:25 CBS

[Butterscup1679666578]

this is one of the biggest chicken [expletive] performances i've ever seen out of a professional football team. the game plan was to not lose by 40 and it clearly showed. pathetic.

[Careless]

Well that was a fun three hours

[Careless]

Clausen might not hit 70 yards passing today

63

[Sosa21MVP]

I expected a lot worse than that. Meh.

[Guest]

63 yards. LOL.

 

There you go all you anti Cutler fans. Wash it down with a nice box of wine.

I had to look it up. The last time the Bears were shutout, Henry Burris had 78 yards passing. He sucked worse than Henry Burris, that is an accomplishment.

I love Cutler and all but I don't think using Jimmy Claussen as a barometer of success is a good idea.

What about Todd Collins, Jason Campbell, and Caleb Hanie?

[Soul]

Punted on all 10 possessions

 

Lord have mercy

[Outshined_One]

Just throw David Fales in there next week for the hell of it. I don't care if he's worse.

I'm not really sure what to even think about that game. Mucking it up and trying to just not screw up on offense may have actually been the best strategy, and they did open it up once the score increased. Too bad Claussen sucks.

 

ST is embarrassing. Like in past years I'm sure we have very inexperienced guys, but still don't think you can excuse the ST to date. I wish they'd fire this guy at the end of the year but he seems to be a pretty solidly Fox guy.

 

Defense did alright. There's some individual performances to be satisfied about for the long term.

 

The Claussen thing is baffling though to me. From a personnel perspective how do you let a guy be your QB2 who you don't even trust to run a semblance of a modern offense for 30+ minutes. It's not like this is the end of the season and injuries have forced you to your fourth QB. This was the guy who was your backup plan to Cutler?

 

I'm sure they let Claussen get another look next week against a D that they presumably let him run an actual, if still conservative, game plan.

[UMFan83]

I just worry that were are at the beginning of a 2000s Lions like run. I know that in the NFL turnarounds can happen overnight. But there are also franchises that go on long runs of ineptitude like Oakland, Jacksonville, etc. The fact is we don't have very much talent at all. And we don't seem to be getting talent. I was really hoping to see some guys emerge. Man they don't even have to be superstars, I'd be happy with a Henry Melton emerging on this defense.

 

The other issue is that even if you are good at drafting when you need significant help in many areas it can several years to get enough to be respectable.

 

Hopefully I look back on this post and laugh in 2 years but it seems a bit hopeless at the moment

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really having a hard time working up any emotion at all about the Bears right now, positive or negative. It's just a shrug of the shoulders for me. I watched till somewhere in the middle of the 2nd quarter and decided I had better ways to spend my time.

 

I think my positivity about the Cubs is keeping me from being able to be too negative on the Bears.

Pretty much; went into the season knowing the very best case would be them being mediocre, so I haven't had much interest to tune in outside of not even a half of the Packers game.

 

Plus this dumb town is ultimately a Bears town by default, so if the Cubs rule I want them to be able to do it for at least a little while with the Bears sucking so they can have maximum dominance.

As a real fan, it hurts a bit to see my bears lose like that. Also, i watched the whole damn game. My favorite pasttime is to troll packer fans about why they havent talked about the brewers in a while, and that if the packers sucked, theyd be doing something else on sundays.

[Sammy Sofa]

In a way it's the punishment they deserve for their ignorant hubris.

No, but a good chunk of Cutler's haters continually call for Clausen and/or Fales.

not many of them have a response to my critique of Clausen's play.

Yea I made the decision yesterday to power ahead with gardening and just did the fast forward quick watch later at night... Didn't care about being spoiled or anything. Just watching individuals on the replay.

I dozed off once the seahawks went up 3-0 only to wake up to see Sherman's return TD. Go cubs

[Guest]

I actually checked my fantasy app and saw it was still 3-0 at the two minute mark and was actually intrigued for a second and thought maybe I should go watch.

 

Luckily I thought better of it and had a productive day.

[Soul]

It still hurts me to see the Bears play so terrible. The baseball season will be over; Hawks and Bulls won't be interesting until after the new year.

 

That leaves 2 months of a desolate wasteland of Bears incompetence. I'm hoping to root for a higher draft pick in December but it will be hard to feel good about that.

[Proven Veteran]

Going into the game I was 90% confident that they were going to get shut out. Time to bottom out and go for the first pick? I could see them winning 4 games in the second half and blowing the high pick.

[Soul]

Playoffs are off the table as expected, and the roster is swiss cheese. I don't see a better outcome from this season than a high draft pick. Worked for Indy right?

[JonJayCutler]

Truth is the Bears either hung or would have hung with all 3 teams had Cutler stayed healthy, and it's looking more and more like those are probably the 3 best teams in the NFC.

 

I still think this team wins about 6 games, which would probably mean a pick somewhere between 8th-10th. The only way we'll have a Top 3 pick is if Cutler is out another month or two, or gets hurt again after returning.
