Do I like the idea of Martz? Hell yes. He would make the offense dangerous again. He would put up 30+ a game. And don't be mistaken about his time after St. Louis, because Kitna tore it up with Martz. What has Kitna done without Martz? Yeah, that's what I thought. I like the idea of an experienced OC, with a history of success, something the Bears have not had in...well, forever. Do I fear he may waste TE talent? Yes, based on his history. But it is not like Turner has maximized the talent on the roster. You guys act as if Turner was the reason for any TE success, rather than a hindrance (which is what he was). Give me an OC that makes our offense formidable again, and I can live with the "possibility" that he won't use the TE right. Of course, since he is a bonafide offensive guru, I prefer to cross my fingers and have faith that he will maximize Olsen's talent...something NEVER done by Turner.

I am with you guys. I will not go to a game this year, and will not buy any gear either. I will follow the team and this retarded staff, hoping they do the smart thing for a change before the Bears become a laughingstock like the Lions.

I sure as hell hope you meant someone other than Turner, like Chico, or I fear you really need to lay off the crackpipe.

I wouldn't put it past either of those tools to say that. Pure sour grapes from two dickheads who have proven at best to be average coaches and completely over their heads in the NFL.

The only legit part of that is the blocking part, and even that is debatable. Fast, little guys can go across the middle and move the chains just as well (see Welker, Engram, Holt, etc).

If the guy getting the two or three yards is a traditional FB who plows holes during his day job, then I am cool with it. Otherwise, give me a homerun hitter nine times out of ten over a plodder who is thought of as a "short yard specialist."

LOL, Sproles. The Bears have a near identical player, and he has been wasted. You don't buy a new putter if you've only used your current putter off the tee from 400 yards away; you use the one you have now APPROPRIATELY first. Unfortunately for the Bears, Turner is not much of a "golfer."

Kills me to see this opinion, still. The "big chain mover" is a made up need. The little, speedy chain mover works just as well (see Wes Welker). Between Bennett, Knox, and Hester, the Bears have a Ton of weapons. Also add in the unused Iglesias and the potential is huge. Oh, let's not forget the emergence of Aromashodu pretty much fills the big WR "need" anyway. Drafting or getting a WR this offseason would be an ignorant waste (unless it is a stud at a crazy discount).

I voted reluctantly for the second option, but hope the entire staff (minus Toub) gets fired. This staff's idiocy and passive approach disgusts me.

I hate, HATE, the idea of getting a RB with any pick near the beginning of the draft. The idea is horrible. Forte was a stud in his rookie year, and has been injured this year. Add that to the ATROCIOUS OL, and the incompetent OC. Fire Turner and draft OL, and suddenly Forte will not only be great again, but an all star. As for a complimentary back, Bell has looked good in limited action, and we STILL don't know what Wolfe can do (thanks to Turner). But if we DO get another RB, please let us get a homerun hitter like Chris Johnson, and not a plodding big guy like Brandon Jacobs. Isn't it about time we had a guy who can take it to the house on every play?

Agreed, hatred. Genuine, red-faced, rage-filled hatred.

The article is dead-on, despite the fact that they quoted Jaws, a guy who clearly talks out of his ass. The fact that Turner can even reply to this article in any way in his defense is just ridiculous. I know he HAS to do it, but it's hilarious.

Either way, this is for Cutler haters in general. Look at all the INTs or STFU. Jaws was plain wrong, and video proof, PROOF, is on NFL.com.

Correct. End thread.

I looked at EVERY INT on NFL.com, and I can unequivocally say that Jaws is talking out of his ass. Even if I am harsh, there is no way more than about 16-18 are on Cutler...which is admittedly not good. But to say 22 out of 26 are on Cutler is f'ng stupid. I defy ANYONE to look at all the highlights, read the play by plays, and rewatch games, and then try to come up with that bogus ass number Jaws orally excreted on national television. I am even willing to debate on an INT by INT basis. Jaws was just reading stat lines and box scores. No way in hell he watched all the game film and came up with those numbers. If he did, I guarantee he fell asleep somewhere in the middle and woke up during the Baltimore game.

3 good quarters, 1 bad "play it safe" quarter, and the Bears go for the kill in OT? Who kidnapped Turner? Easily his best gameplan all year. It flowed, kept the vikings off balance all night, and gave us a glimpse of what this ofdense can do with an OC calling a competent game (and an OL playing well). Bear Down!!

Could this breakout game be the first towards Aromashodu becoming the Chicago version of Brandon Marshall?

I won't even take the bait. You're clearly being stupid just to get a response. See Connorbear's reply about announcers if you want the real answer.

I give a crap because I am a Bear fan, and get sick of the lazy reporting that causes people to ignorantly base opinions on stats and stats alone.

The pick this game is all Cutler. He tried to force it. But to argue on the side of Jaws in this regard is highly ignorant. Nobody can tell me only two or three are on others, and the rest are on Cutler. Sounds like Jaws is analyzing into things like the "almost INT" stat.

Yeah, Cutler's INT was pretty bad, and all on him.

I don't know what the hell he is looking at on film, but there is no way only two or three of the picks are not Cutler's fault. I can think of two falling WRs, two wrong routes by WRs, one DPI not called, and the play where Hester ran into the Ump just off the top of my head.

Sorry, gotta call BS on the author of this article and his "inside source.". Urlacher is sorely missed and far from the most overrated player in the NFL.

Hilarious that you called the poor game-time adjustments before they happened. If LovieCo doesn't make an adjustment, it will be yet another example of LovieCo simply being outcoached once the other team adjusts to the Bears playcalling.

It only took Turner 14 games to call a good game. And how did it happen so far? Stretch plays and runs to the outside were added in, deep crosses, and then the play action pass was thrown in. Oh, and what play resulted in a ridiculously easy TD? That's right, the old play action pass, roll out pass to the WIDE OPEN TE. It is not rocket science folks; every team in the NFL has been using that play successfully for quite some time. Glad Turner finally caught on to the obvious. Now if Lovie could only create a defensive adjustment that didn't completely suck.
