I like 2 things about Manning. Kick returns and how he blitzes. Hester is better at one and I don't remember him blitzing this season. He's an uninstinctive player that has never reached potential. He can go.

Here are my thoughts on Lovie. He is: 1) a good players coach 2) a poor game manager 3) stubborn to a fault 4) a poor talent developer 5) overly loyal to asst coaches 6) a standup guy 7) NOT the defensive mind he's credited to be That being said, I am still not a Lovie fan and would like to see him gone along with Angelo. I hate the style of defense we play and have somewhat warmed to the offense. The bottom line for me is their failure to develop the offensive and defensive lines. The offensive line has been neglected for far too long. Why? My thoughts are that they have brought in so much talent to the D Line that has NOT panned out, they have not had the picks to spend on quality OL.(This includes all the "good in shorts" players we've drafted as well. Somebody has to pay for that. Had we not struck gold with Peppers, this team would have sucked ass. If not for the calvin Johnson play, we may not have made the playoffs. IMO - this was not as good as team as our record indicated. I will give the staff credit for putting a team willing to compete on the field, but the lack of talent is unacceptable for a staff that has been in place for as long as they've been here. Promote Toub to HC, hire a GM that can evaluate talent, and keep the offensive and defensive staff in place for a year while Toub gets his system in place. After that, he can cultivate as he sees fit. Sorry, I just don't see it being better next year with the status quo.

I noticed. It is something we'll have to use against the Cheese. However, it will be cat and mouse as Capers DB's are superior to Seattle's and won't mind as much. It's a situation where either team could make the other pay for using it. Hopefully, Martz outfoxes Capers, as that is what it will come down to.

Having my Dad and Brother over. Our mutual insistance on NOT changing a thingis our superstition. Choice of beverage, Crown and Coke! Food optional! I'm stoked. Go Bears!

That's the way I saw it as well. BTW - me and my family thought it was awesome. (Dad served in the Army and brother in the Marines) Glad he's singing again and am looking forward to it! Go Bears!!!

Also, remember Wilbers hit on Hipple that knocked his helmet in the air.

my dream realized

I'll second that

Yes. Anyone who is the best at anything needs to be in...

I bet Buela Ballbreaker would have convicted him by now. On another note, Espn just said his fine was equivalent to a 150 dollar fine for a person that makes 50k a year.

Well said. He definitely got this one pushed through the system.

I am still not a Lovie fan. I truly hope that they don't extend him early. I'm warming to the potential of the team and agree its success is primarily due to health and weakness of the teams we have faced. The one coach that has made me eat it is Martz. He has changed when I thought it not possible and am looking forward to year two of this staff and scheme.

you're definitely cool with me. I'm a dual identity fan as well, as I live just out of Indy. Bears first, Colts second.

WTF!!! No OL? Seriously, Briggs deserves to be there.

Like I said in another post... This is my dream. Not to se him hurt, but to have his last game be a loss at the hands of the Bears. Two more games out and it will be complete. History will then hold this game forever!!!! The fact that there's this picture will make it priceless.

I love how are fans truly cherish moments like that. Jauron even had a brief smile. Love it.

I always dreamed that Favre's last game would be a loss to the Bears. I don't wish further injury to him, but let him start! Let us finish!!!!

Looks like Rexy got his sexy back...

When left to himself,Martz will implode. I think he was reigned in by his coach or GM this year, as he has never shown the ability to change as much as he has. Imo - he stays.

They are taking what we are giving them...

Coaches are just being dumbass stubborn. We have 9 defenders with this defense we are playing. It's gotta change our they will score at will.

Gotta get our safeties close to the action.

Two deep is too deep. Otherwise, so far so good. Go O!

That, I'll take. Especially the competent part .

I'd like to see OT, OG, C and DT with the first 4 picks. We must get better up front. It starts with the offensive line. We have to be able to pick up one yard conversions and punch in from the goal line. Start with OL and the skill positions will be better as a result.
