    Yeah, he spent so much time in NE rocking the boat... he was CLEARLY hated there
  2. minnesotacubsfan
    yep, i'd rather have weis than martz. just came to post this. It's nice to see interest in the Bears by top candidates
  3. minnesotacubsfan

  4. minnesotacubsfan
    easy there Fred....

    I'm speechless that anyone would defend letting the clock run down like that. You have so little faith in Cutler to play a series of downs without throwing an INT? Really? Honestly? This same guy you just extended halfway through the next decade? He can't be trusted now to play one series of downs without turning the ball over? I'm not even close to being at that point yet. 45 seconds and 2 timeouts is plenty of time to get the ball to Robbie for a game winning field goal. If you stop Minnesota, it's game over anyway. But, you absolutely MUST protect the clock in the event they do score. Guaranteed possession with 45 seconds and 2 timeouts is way better than a 50/50 shot of losing the coin toss in OT. Especially with even more defenders out for the remainder of the game (Peanut/Idonije). my fear has more to do with RT then Cutler, although Cutler has hardly been stellar this year

    I love it when the OC talks about what the other team is dictating, rather then what he could dictate: "He said he veered from the plan in part because of game situations and the styles of defenses the Bears faced -- often opponents lined up their ends wide, which makes it more difficult to move the pocket." http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-31-pompei-bears-chicago-dec31,0,5974410.column

    the bears hiring a new coach scares the hell out of me
  9. minnesotacubsfan
    the only thing the bears were at risk of by not taking that time out was the Vikings going to the 2 pt conversion. if they miss that, they loose the game, if they kick the e pnt, the game goes to overtime. Besides, with Cutler's struggles in late and tight situations, so realistically the only chance the Bears really had at that point was a good kick return. And when was the last time RT called an excellent 2-min drill (which he would have had to going against a very good - albeit injured - D)? Rare to never. it makes perfect sense to let the game go to OT I had no problem with Lovie's non-call there. There are plenty of other likely reasons to call for his head, but that situation is overblown in those regards.
  10. minnesotacubsfan
    bears were up, at home. giving the Vikings more time to collect themselves and ACCEPTING that they will score is moronic
  11. minnesotacubsfan
    This is how Lovie plays not to lose, instead of playing to win. His goal at all times is for the clock to run out before anything bad happens. They never try to keep time for their own potential drive, they never try to get one last score before half. It is a cowardly way of playing football. This is the style of football that minimizes coach criticism, because the media never questions it, but would question it if something bad actually happened. I don't know what the hell you people are talking about. on mn's last drive (and under 2:00 min to go) I count 3 incomplete passes, 3 to's called, 1 by Chicago. are you saying Lovie should have called 3 to's consecutively? I don't get your reasoning, it just wreaks of "Lovie sucks, lets pile on him!!!" it was a great game, both teams actually played very well. bitching over time use considering what each side did is moronic
  12. minnesotacubsfan
    coach or capital punisher?
  13. minnesotacubsfan
    f-that kill the lions, go bears!!!
  14. minnesotacubsfan
    What is unclear? It's about how the win vs the Vikings may have changed perception about several things heading into the offseason. well, its 5 paragraphs long and doesn't shed any new light or thoughts on the situation. The title has to do with Lovie's job, and only the last paragraph actually mentions him. I don't understand who is your intended audience is (nsbb or the public at large) or what the subject really is. I was expecting to see a much better thought out discussion on how the emergence of Aroshamodu implicates Lovie's inability to judge talent (which I'm not sure is the case, especially if RT makes personnel decisions), or if it was to illustrate the new-found fountain of youth we may (or may not) have. All it really says is we have a couple of kids who did some nice things and Lovie's job security is more or less irrelevant in respect to the game. In total, all it really did was spur more convo here on the subject, so I'm wondering whats the point of the other site?
  15. minnesotacubsfan
    I'm really not sure what your article is about
  16. minnesotacubsfan
    "highly doubtful"? pack it up CT, get ready for next year
  17. minnesotacubsfan
    i dont mind Lovie, I'm not convinced he's the issue
  18. minnesotacubsfan
    Also helped that Ray Edwards has been absolute garbage for the last month. Really though the Bears completely made Allen and Kevin Williams non-factor's. Why am I still talking about this [expletive] game? brie perhaps?
  19. minnesotacubsfan
    Phat Will isn't their pass specialist, but i did see a few nice holes in the middle where he would have been
  20. minnesotacubsfan
    you want some cheese with that whine? boo hoo hoo, the bears won this game, not the vikings blowing it. and not justfor ap's fumble (which was actually caused by chicago), the bears just beat them Hey [expletive], get a clue and realize it was a spoof of sulley's "Only my team" posts in this thread and every game his teams ever play. And I like sulley. but I have Gorgonzola!! and some nice chianti!! :(
  21. minnesotacubsfan
    btw, I just want to pimp Williams again. he played a pretty good LT. He was against Jared Allen, and that isnt a small task.

  23. minnesotacubsfan
    WELL, WILLIAMS LOOKS LIKE A LEGIT LT
  24. minnesotacubsfan
    granted, his methodology leaves something to be desired, someone likes the Bears: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9950260/Don't-go-to-sleep-on-the-Monsters-of-the-Midway?GT1=39002
