THE 2013 CHICAGO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!

Only the Bears can rush for over 100 yards and throw for over 300 yards and still lose! We have to beat GB

Here's what I fear is going to happen.

Bears somehow stumble their way to the first wildcard spot. They go play the #4 seed (Giants or whoever ends up as champ of the East) in the first round and win the game, thus saving Lovie's job.

Fuck

I can see them still getting in the playoffs, but I dont see any way they go on the road and win a game. I just want Lovie gone NOW!!!!

Win in Green Bay or San Francisco? Not a chance.

East Rutherford, Landover or Arlington? Definitely doable.

Pathetic start. The wheels are really coming off a once promising season.

That will happen when you play a weak front half of your schedule. I've been enjoying people backpedaling on how they didn't think the Bears were a contender to begin with.

I thought they were a contender. I was obviously wrong. I'm not back pedaling on anything. They were 7-1. Sure, they had a soft schedule but you don't go 7-1 in the NFL by accident. Injuries haven't helped things and I think Lovie and his staff have done a horrible job the past few weeks. The one bright spot is if they continue this shitting down their legs, Lovie will be gone.

The team "as is" which is very banged up should still destroy the Cardinals and beat the Lions. "As is" going into the Packers isn't going to be pretty. We'll take two of three, claim the wildcard and get demolished in the first playoff game...still enough for Lovie to keep his job.

I still would like the Bears to go after a guy like Bill Cowher...if Lovie is ever canned. I want a guy who has a history of winning and a guy who doesn't put up with stupid play...a guy who can put a boot up some asses!!!

Obviously they shouldn't have any problems with the Cardinals. I wouldn't consider winning in Detroit a sure thing. Nothing is a sure thing with this team. I think Lovie has to win at least 1 playoff game to keep his job. Just getting them to the playoffs and getting knocked out right away shouldn't warrant a contract extension.

Cowher would be great. If the Bears do have a coaching search, I'd expect them to go on the cheap and hire a coordinator and not a proven head coach like they have always done.

We need a running game! Cutler to Marshall is fun to watch but that can't be it!!!
F!

I absolutely agree. I sometimes worry that if they keep overrelying on Brandon Marhsall, they'll become over-dependent on him (see: Forte).

We have been begging for a good WR for so long and now people complain that they throw to Marshall too much????? When you have an elite player like that, you use him as much as you can!

No arguments here -- use him for sure. But my concern is that the game will be built around him too much -- similar to how the entire offense used to be built around Forte. Then if (God forbid) Marshall gets injured, the offense would suffer more so than if Cutler didn't always rely on him.

Of course, things would be a lot easier if the other receivers would catch the ball when thrown to. :fp:

670am the score has been great this week btw.

You seem to be more concerned with the Bears struggles than the Packers success. Interesting.

I wasn't complaining at all. I love having Marshall...I just wish we had other actual WRs (healthy Earl and Jefferey will help) and a running game...you know, what other teams have.
Then again, everything this offense does or doesn't do is a result of that O-line.

Getting Marshall was one of the best moves the Bears organization has ever done. I will never complain about that. Just want those other pieces in place because with him and the other parts in place...this team COULD be scary offensively.

Yeah that wasn't really directed at you. You should hear some of the morons around here calling into sports radio and complaining about Marshall being overused. Definitely need to have others contribute besides Marshall. Like you said, it's all based on the O-line. Just fix that fucking thing already!!!

I just wish the defense wasn't as old as it is, cause I'd like to see the draft go something like this:
Picks:
1) OL
2) OL
3) TE
4) OL
5) OL
6) OL
7) OL
