Compounded by not being able to rebound. They could have overcome the poor shooting tonight and against Missouri if they just could have kept the opponent off the boards.
It depends whether Emery is willing to let Smith coach in his contract year, which I wouldn't be thrilled with, but it is better than the complete slap in the face that an extension would be.
Even with Lovie potentially going home? the bears have a puncher's chance if they get in The same puncher's chance that a lightweight has against a heavyweight.
Dick Stockton's description of Lovie Smith couldn't be any further from my perception. Just because he is generally soft-spoken doesn't make him a "class act". He is one of the most arrogant coaches I have seen.
That is quite a misleading statement... "The Bears have to win this game or face elimination." How about just saying the Bears are eliminated from the playoffs if they lose?
