I can see his press conference after the Bears lose in Week 17 to finish 6-10 "We made some bad mistakes, but we're a better football team than this. We just gotta put this performance behind us and look forward to the next game." Reporter: Umm Lovie there isn't another game the season is over. "Look you gotta look at this season in quarters. We came out strong the first quarter and then struggled our way through the next three quarters. We just gotta play better the next quarter and get better." Reporter: ......?!? (eyes dart around the room in confusion" "Ummm....Rex Grossman is our quarterback?" (looks around for acceptance...quickly walks off the podium)

OK, we won't see 70 degree temps until next May, so I'm gonna go out and enjoy the last 90 minutes of summer like daytime.

challenge from inside the one with 4:30 left down 2 tds with an almost certain td following? why? why not? what if they fumble the snap after its overturned? as carefree as lovie is with his challenges, that seemed like a no-brainer They either run it three times and score a td, running a couple of minutes off the clock or they score more quickly than that. It's a no win It would have been third and goal if that TD call was overturned.
-
Cutler has been bad at times...and I've been very critical of him at times...not to the point where I don't think he's the answer...I've always believed that, but to the point where I suggest he needs a lot of improvement. But after seeing the way Bennett just had no clue which direction to run and then giving up on a route that gets picked off, and realizing it's happened way too many times this season...I'm starting to believe it's been a herculean effort to get as many points out of this offense as he has this season. He's a $100 quarterback playing with a $.10 offense.
-
No it's not...he threw it at the feet of a receiver....that's allowed.
-
This mini comeback was worthless. Now Lovie isn't going to be as pissed as he should be. He's gonna say things like: - "We gotta find a way to play a complete ballgame, instead of only showing up in the 2nd half" - "It was very encouraging to see the defense pick it up in the 2nd half." - "we outscored the Cardinals in the second half" - "The Cardinals had a good gameplan in the first half, but we made some adjustments at halftime and we did better because of them. We just need to limit the mistakes in execution and stop letting things snowball when we get behind early." - "We are only halfway through the season, we've played good at times and poorly at times, and our record reflects that. We know what we need to do to improve, we just need to go out and execute and show it on the field."
-
You know what the punishment for trying to come back against the Cardinals? A TD and a trip into 40 points allowed
-
Phew, he almost let his TD passes get too far away from his INTs
-
And that's that
-
If it is a 1st, that was awful to give up that 1st down on 3rd and 25, the crowd getting insanely into it, and absolutely no room for error.
-
Good challenge, but I don't know if there is inconclusive evidence
-
Will they go for it just to break the Bears backs?
-
No intentional grounding?
-
If we could have recovered that inside the 5....haha oh well.
-
I want to pause my DVR right now because I know the game can't get any better than it is right now.
-
Warner's coming back in...the Cardinals are playing for reals again.
-
I'd like to mention that I'm starting both Cutler and Olsen in fantasy today. It's karma because Portis went down in the first quarter with 4 rushing yards.

It's an interesting question. I think they are more or less middle of the road in terms of national exposure, propped up only because of their history (pre-1970) and market (3rd largest in the country) and on a smaller scale, the 85 team (which probably left a longer lasting image than any title team in the SB era). But in terms of day to day exposure, the Bears have been under marketed in their city and nationally for some time (who can remember seeing a Bears commercial on TV before last season?), and have not been able to put together a 3+ year span of competitive teams which has caused them to dip behind teams like Dallas, Philly, Washington, Green Bay, New England, Pittsburgh in terms of franchise prestige. Assuming they don't make the playoffs this year, they will have made the playoffs just 4 times in the last 18 years (94, 01, 05, 06). And in many of the other years they haven't come close to contending (92, 93, 96, 97, 98, 99, 00, 02, 03, 04, 07, likely 09). So it's hard to stay on the first half hour of sportscenter when you are a boring team that loses a lot.

Dude come on he said he was just messing around with you.
-
clearly pass interference
-
Haha...I predicted 3-1 in the next 4 games before the Atlanta game...and we went 1-3 and got completely blown out in 2 of them.
-
Turner loves calling those WR screens lately huh?
-
haha this is awesome This game is officially worse than the Cincinnati game I think.
-
Meh, I don't care about that. That pick is gone with the wind. And with 4 wins already and games left against Detroit and St. Louis, we're very likely not gonna have a pick in the top 10 anyways.
-
Also, start getting touchdowns on every offensive possession, and start getting turnovers on every defensive possession. It's that easy guys.
