    All non-Bears fans keep saying, "they aren't going to find a better coach than Lovie Smith". While, that may be true. I don't know that any Bears fan is looking for "better". I think we're just looking for different. While the next Sean Payton would be nice. I think most Bears fans would be happy with an offensive minded version of Lovie. A guy who has clear, obvious flaws but does what he knows very well. After 40 years of defensive guys, it's time for the Bears to keep up with the offensive minded teams in the league.....and those teams for the most part aren't watching the playoffs next week.

    Just for fun. I think a 3-4 Bears D would look like: DE- Peppers NT- Paea (I think he played some NT in college) DE- Melton (if guys like Liuget and Hood can play it Melton surely can) OLB- McClellin ILB- Briggs ILB- Urlacher/Roach (both are FAs though) OLB- DRAFT? Secondary would be the same. I guess I could see this if the vets on the D are ok with it. Especially Urlacher and Melton who are FAs and Peppers and Briggs who would have major role changes this late IBM their careers.

    It's not going to happen. The Bears are looking at offensive coaches. I don't ser an offensive coach bringing in anyone to completely change the D. If it aint broke.....maybe won't be a cover 2 base but will still be a 4-3 team.

    He played yesterday. Apparently an agent contacted his family and his mother went to IU to report it. They went to the NCAA and sat Hollowell while they investigated.
  6. rawaction
    He played hurt most of the year and didn't have the explosion he had last year. If he can regain it, he's definitely a first round caliber receiver. I still thought Lee was the better WR last year, even as a freshman. Maybe that's unfair to knock Woods because he's not as good as Lee, but I see a good compliment WR, not a star. I like Tavon Austin better.
  7. rawaction
    Not a huge fan of Woods. The Marvin Harrison comparisons he was getting last year were premature. I don't think he's near a 1st rounder. I barely have him in my top 60.
  8. rawaction
    That's awesome. I'm sure he won't cause any problems in the NFL. Never see any diva WRs in the pros.

    As well you should.

    All the guys in their 1st full season of full season ball will be fun to watch. That Boise team was loaded with prospects, put that entire team at Kane County and/or Daytona and any of them that perform well will have to be taken very seriously. Almora/Soler are potential top 25-50 guys with nice seasons. Vogelbach and a couple of the pitchers could be top 100. A lot of others could be shoe-ins in the Cubs top 10 with a nice season. Also interested to see who the Cubs are able to add to the system over the next 9 months. Added a ton of talent in the first 9 months of Epstein's regime. Can't wait for what/who else is in store. Middle IF prospects. The Cubs are close to being "loaded" up the middle in the infield. Castro and Barney are both young and productive. Baez is obviously a potential star. Then you have Alcantara, Amaya, and Hernandez. Torreyes and Watkins will be at AA and AAA respectively, just a reasonable callup away. And I think I like Bruno more than most people around here (if he's still at 2B). And you still have Junior Lake who may still be consider MIF at this point.

    I'm a playoff racist. I'm only rooting for teams with a black QB or black coach. Not that I intended it that way, BUT: - Don't want Brady or Manning - Obviously Green Bay will not be rooted for by me. - The Colts would be the worst superbowl team ever - Houston doesn't deserve to go, because they couldn't keep HFA with 3 chances. - I kinda enjoy the Matt Ryan playoff failures after a great regular season That leaves Washington (RG3), Seattle (Wilson), Cincy (Marvin Lewis), Minnesota (Frazier), SF (Kaepernick- sort of), and Baltimore, who doesn't fit either criteria, but I picked them to win in the beginning of the year so I kinda would like to be right.

    Good fit. Have the pieces to run his D other than maybe a MLB and another CB. They should do whatever they can to get a legit mobile QB.

    If Jordan Hulls shoots like Jordan Hulls, IU wins by 15. Nice to see Cody assert himself...wish it didn't take 20 minutes every game.
  16. rawaction
    He's white Lovie. Offensive coach, gone thru many d coordinators. Hasn't won anything despite being mildly successful in the regular season. 1 SB appearance.
  17. rawaction
    Yep.
  18. rawaction
    Yes because racism doesn't happen anymore. I know this was hypothetical but I like how people have turned a complaint about racism into an automatic unfounded complaint by an angry black person.

    Color me surprised. The players reaction is going to be the sucky part of this whole thing. I hate that most of the team is upset and I wish there was a way to make it work with Lovie. But his fatal flaw was the people he surrounded himself with. I think he's a fine head coach...some may adamantly disagree....but the main issuews that he had no clue about 1/2 the game. And he failed to align himself with people who did at the current NFL level. The players are professional they'll get over it. And ultimately it s their fault. The giants hated Coughlin but got 2 rings with him. Who cares if the next guy I'd a players coach...winning will cure all. Lovie didn't win enough.

    2013 schedule of teams: Road: Detroit, Green Bay, Minnesota, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Washington Home: Detroit, Green Bay, Minnesota, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Dallas, NY Giants I'm guessing on the last 4 road and home, based on last time the Bears played them in the rotation. The Vikings win meant the Bears don't play Seattle and Carolina for the 19th year in a row.

    I believe the current order is: 1. Kansas City 2. Jacksonville 3. Oakland 4. Philadelphia 5. Detroit 6. Cleveland 7. Arizona 8. Buffalo 9. NY Jets 10. Tennessee 11. San Diego 12. Tampa Bay 13. New Orleans 14. Carolina 15. Miami 16. St Louis 17. Pittsburgh 18. Washington (if they lose)/ NY Giants (if Wash wins) 19. Dallas (if they lose)/ NY Giants (if Dallas wins) 20. Chicago

    I'm pretty confident Lovie will be back. Emery has the power, but he didn't get the job to come and clean house. He doesn't have the background to show he's capable of doing that. He's a talent evaluator. I feel the purpose of his hire was to have ultimate say so on bringing in talent and let everyone else "do their thing", Lovie included.

    the defense is old and bates's offense doesn't inspire me. i say move now, get lovie out, get tom clements in before someone else does. let's get some positivity going now. Part of me just wants to try to fix the offense (address the line, add a TE, fire Tice) and see if we can get another year out of what was an awesome defense this year, but another part of me would really like to get an offensive minded HC in here. Clements would be a dream, assuming he'd be hands on and we wouldn't get some random OC running/teaching the offense. The best way to fix the offense though would be your 2nd option. The defense isn't suddenly going to be terrible without Lovie or Marinelli. It will definitely be different, but they aren't going to suck because of a change at head coach. Basically, Lovie hasn't done anything to deserve to have a lifetime contract with this team. And if they do keep him, fix the offense somehow and the Bears are a legit contender next year, he's going to get another 4-5 year deal without ever really putting together a stud team. He only has 3 playoff wins in 9 years.

    The worst pick to possibly have. Not good enough for the playoffs, not bad enough to get an impact player.
  25. rawaction
    I'm with you on both. I hate [expletive] feeling like this.
