God no. Why would we want a guy that just got fired after yet another year of disappointment? His teams have imploded more times than the Bears have in recent years. I'm not sure what's to like about him being a head coach. He's not very good.

You bet he does. Another year stuck in mediocrity without an offense looks to be on the horizon. I'M SO HAPPY WE WON TODAY.. Can you tell how excited I am?!

3rd and 4 and we run a "Go route"?

Idiot Briggs and whoever else was in on the Stafford hit. You know it's going to get called and you do it anyways. That's an automatic. You can't lower your head into a QB that's sliding. Idiots. Got what they deserved there.

3rd blown timeout today.. And Kellen Davis with the typical drop on an opportunity for a big play.

This one aint over.

Typical Bears. Prevent defense at the end of the half, allowing teams to easily get in position for points. Fail..

That's a bad drop by Jeffery. He has to catch that.

2nd wasted timeout in one half.. Unbelievable.

I don't remember it happening with Ron Turner. Martz and Tice both have to get their calls relayed through their QB coaches. Not sure if Turner was the same way or not.

Every game. It's not even just some of the time. It's every damn game. Shit gets old.

This offense.. Good lord.

I'm feeling pretty down with all the media reporting that Lovie Smith's job is safe win or lose against Detroit today.. Makes me sick to my stomach knowing there will probably be another wasted year spent in mediocrity and no offense to speak of.. I just hope that none of it is true.

I haven't been a fan of either starting safety on the Bears for various reasons, but since Conte and Wright started playing next to each other, they have definitely given some stability to the position. I think Major Wright is sort of a dumb ass, and I still haven't forgiven him for getting Urlacher injured last year. Both guys always seem to have nagging injuries every year that causes them to miss time, though it's been Conte more so lately.

Melton making it to the pro bowl just shows how weak the position is in the NFC. He had a solid year, but disappears too much to my liking.. especially late in the year. I don't vision him as an Elite level DT.

Jennings has been the best all around cornerback in football this year in my opinion.

I think the Bears will end up in the playoffs because I don't see Minnesota beating a GB team that's on fire right now, and I don't see the Detroit Lions being smart enough to finish out a game. Expect to see a lot of balls thrown in the direction of Calvin Johnson, and the more passes thrown, the more opportunities for the defense to get turnovers. Unless they just absolutely lay down and die like they did in SF, It's going to be tough for the Bears not to win this game.

He's athletic, but gets pushed around too much. Not sure what his position is yet. He has a guard type body, but athletic enough to play either tackle position. I'd give him another offseason before I judge him. Yesterday he was good/bad in some areas, but was an improvement over the last few weeks.

We will just get our asses handed to us by GB and SF again if we get in. I don't know why anyone would actually want to watch that. I only want us to make the postseason if Lovie Smith is fired regardless. If he gets to stay, then I don't want any part of the playoffs. Of course I have no way of knowing this until after the fact, I'm going to have to hope for a Detroit win to make it tougher for him to keep his job.

Urlacher was bigger and faster than Ogletree coming out of college. Though Urlacher may have been the most athletically gifted inside linebacker of all time, so that's not the worst thing in the world for Ogletree. I think he's going to be a stud, and if the Bears have a shot at him, they should go after him.

That's about the way I hope things go. I like Ogletree because he's an Urlacher esque converted safety playing middle linebacker. Though nowhere near Urlacher's freakish athleticism. I think he'll be one of those guys that fly up the draft board because of his rare skill-set as a LB. He'll need to bulk up a bit though. He'd be the perfect replacement, if there are any replacements for Brian. They definitely need to sign a tackle via free agency, and then if they're lucky, maybe take Fluker in the 2nd. They say he's capable of playing all over, and has the ability to play in whatever scheme, man or zone. I'm not generally a fan of taking guards in the 1st round, but Warmack is another interesting prospect you have to at least think about if you're the Bears.

I think if we were to reach the playoffs and lose to Greenbay yet again, that might be the straw that breaks the camel's back. So if there ever was a scenario in which the Bears make the postseason and Lovie is still fired, it would be that one.

A loss pretty much solidifies the Lovie era coming to a close, and a win puts it on hold for another week. I think they'll win this week and I'm undecided on week 17. I think the Lions may have given up. 10-6 still feels like it'd be the likely scenario, but we'll see if that's good enough to get them in the postseason.

Yeah, I think it starts with just being able to get a play in. It's a joke that the last two coordinators have not managed to do the most simplest part of their duties, which is actually calling a play, and they can't even do that right.. Progress would be us not having to burn a timeout at any point in the game because of play calling.

College positions don't really matter in the NFL. Especially on the offensive line, where there is constant change from college to the NFL. Carimi might have been more familiar on the left side at Wisconsin, but his supposed strength was in his run blocking, which translated to more of a right tackle in the NFL than left tackle. I have seen absolutely nothing from him, based on his play this season, that would allow me to believe he would be any better by switching sides. It's one thing if a person has failed on the left, the more difficult side, and put him on the right, than it is the other way around. How is playing against better pass rushers suppose to help him do something he's never been able to do before, which is blocking? Moving his feet? Containing speed? etc..
