Soul

Gonna lose to the Lions folks. Why I am spending my precious Sunday on this slop, I have no idea.

Earlier in the season I was convinced that Forte's problem was 100% on the o-line, but since Kahlil Bell has been able to come in and run decently in limited action kinda makes me feel that quite a bit of it is on Forte. He was already a marginal runner to begin with. Now he's too tentative, too slow to the hole. And unable to make people miss with enough consistency. We can do better, and without having to spend a valuable pick or even close.

They're gonna get cutlet killed in a meaningless game. I'm about ready to move on from forte. Not just because of that drop, but because he plays too slow and has regressed.

Schwartz needs some meds

LOL they weren't even really trying on that PP but scored anyway.

Should be over now. Hawks in command.

Somehow they're taking a 12 point lead into the 4th. Hold off the Magic and it will be a quality job. Not sure how they got Howard into foul trouble but it certainly hasn't hurt.

Big 10 acquitted themselves quite nicely this bowl season. I still think Iowa will lose.

Awesome new year for the Hawks. I love this team

He's on the Bennett plan. Maybe they'll play him for the last game. What I do know is that you shouldn't believe anything reporters or coaches say about him until we see him in real game action.

Well, 3 in a row now. I'm guessing this means Vinny is in until year's end.

I'm starting to hear more & more that everyone will be back....even Mr. Turner. If that's true then I can't see getting very excited for the 2010 season. Bears will be suffering through plenty of injured players for this final game. Also, the letdown factor is in effect. Don't be surprised if the Lions sneak up in this one.

I think most of what you said definitely happened, but it still doesn't explain many of the picks in the red zone, and a lot of the other clearly bad decisions. He always had the reputation as a "forcer" even in Denver with a better scheme, better blocking and a superstar receiver to help in bailout situations. I just feel you are a bit to quick to rationalize away his own mistakes, but he has to be held accountable. He's still a young QB, prone to making some stupid errors. One thing is for sure though: without better coaching, he will never realize his potential. The potential we all just saw Monday night.

wow adam james is just getting killed by those people. maybe he's just an [expletive]. Reading those comments reminds me of some people in my life. People with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement suck. Just shut up and get the job done, nobody wants to hear the whining.

If that win saves Lovie, then it is a serious misread by the organization that will result in more bad play next year, and perhaps even beyond. As happy as I am for the Bears' win, the ultimate question that must be asked is: where has this been all year? There have been no big acquisitions, no huge changes. All the players and possibilities that showed up Monday night have been available to this coaching staff all year long. The game plan was solid for the first time in weeks. Which championship-proven coaching staffs produce a solid gameplan every, oh, 5 weeks or so (or longer)? None come to mind. The players -- some of our biggest performers on Monday -- have been pigeonholed all year due to this regime's misjudgement of their talent. We've been seeing players like Aromashodu & Bennett, who look like they are passable to solid NFL talent, relegated to bench/practice squad duty while lesser players take the field. We've seen serious misreads on talent for players who left the organization, such as Chris Harris and Cedric Benson, come back to bite us. All of these things point to staff incompetence. Angelo can also be argued to be incompetent, but since I'm convinced that his outster is not in play, I'll leave him out of the equation for now. No. If anything, Monday's win shows more than ever that the Lovie administration must be impeached. And I personally believe, if a better coach is brought in, that this roster will suddenly begin to look like it has fewer holes.

I wish I could get a real read on what kind of danger this win poses in terms of bringing everyone back for '10. But it's tough to know. I would hope they don't put too much into this thing.

There was our chance to win right there. And Bowman blew it.

If they play like this, the Vikes won't go anywhere in the playoffs.

and that's lovie's defense, the guy Gruden "feels sorry for" sorry for what? This is his [expletive] responsibility gruden you dolt!!

Aaaaaaand here comes the 80 yard tying TD drive.

Must have broken a rib or two. Better have more stretchers ready. The way the Bears are, when things go down hill it snowballs fast.

Only the Bears can crumble like this. Soooo predictable.

God. Vikes will tie or take the lead very shortly.

There goes our last remaining deep threat.
