Why is it so hard to accept the fact that when a team keeps losing it is time to dump the coach? It seems because he is black he will not get the blame. Any other coach would be gone! Forget about race and just get someone who can get these “prima donas” to earn their ridiculous salaries!

Just read through all the posts – great dialogue…til the end! Funny stuff there. As a life-long, die-hard Bears fan living in Cleveland, the Bears MUST blow out the Browns this weekend, or our team is truly finished. If we can’t beat the Browns, we do not have the talent, heart or coaching to compete in the NFL. The Browns are HORRIBLE and the laughing stock of the league. So let’s get it done, boys – GO BEARS!!!

Brad – Thought I’d take the high road with your pre-K level observations, but I guess not. Please come to grips soon with your childish reading and writing skills you toolbag. To me you sound more like a lobotomized Packers fan than a Bears fan.

You’re comprehension skills are questionable at best grabber.

Brad – I don’t think I missed your point, but it sure sounded to me like you said the head coach doesn’t matter for much. In any case, many of your points yesterday don’t make a whole lot of sense, but I don’t have time to bicker back and forth with you. And please, get a clue – if you look at my posts, you’ll see I am looking at the big picture, and not “nagging” about any one specific thing as you say. Hope those points aren’t over your head, friend.

jdm – heart, desire, whatever words you want to use– maybe you missed my point, to take a page out of Brad’s wordsmithing handbook, because what I meant was, the bottom line is the Bears didn’t show up Sunday, period. Yes, again stating the obvious, it’s only one loss, we all get that, and Lovie always makes sure he reminds us. Bottom line, to have your coach say he failed to prepare his team to play, and seeing no effort whatsoever in a gutless effort, is inexcusable, period.

Hey man, I was shaken by the loss and I totally understand. But in today’s NFL weird things happen. The Bears need to win by at least 2 TDs this week against the Browns and then that sets up a really good litmus test against the Cardinals at Soldier Field. If they win the next two games they are at 5-3 and in good shape. Let’s see what happens.

Rob — you’re right. Sorry for my over-the-top negativity in several comments yesterday. Needed to get it out of my system I guess. Of course I’m still not very optimistic, but we’ll see what happens against the Browns and especially the following week when the Cardinals come to town.

One other thing – just look at what happened last year.

The Eagles started last year 3-3 (including the loss to Chicago where Alex Brown and the Bears held them on a goal line stand late in the game) and got blown away here in Baltimore 36-7 to go 5-5-1. They ended up winning 4 of their last 5 and got to the NFC Championship Game.

The Cardinals lost 56-35 to the Jets early in the year to start 2-2. They got blown away 47-7 to the Patriots on the second to the last game of the season and barely made the playoffs. If you watched that game, you would know they looked horrible. They ended up in the Super Bowl.

The Ravens lost 31-3 to Indy in the fifth game last year. Here in Baltimore, folks were calling for Harbaugh’s head after that game that left them 2-3. They ended up in the AFC Championship game.

With the division on the line, Pittsburgh laid an egg and lost to the Titans 31-14 in the second to the last week of the season. They ended up as the Super Bowl Champs.

As some folks have said above – this is what happens in the NFL. It’s a long season – GO BEARS!!!

Jeff, you don’t speak for all fans when you say the Bears are causing fans to go doom-and-glooming.

I watch the Bears games regularly at a local sports bar here in Maryland. The 6 regular fans I watch the games with each week are all long-time diehards who are transplanted from Chicago. None of us knew each other before this season but all of us still feel good about our Bears’ chances. That doesn’t mean we don’t think they have to make adjustments or that there are no concerns about what happened this week – but for Pete’s sake none of us are writing off the Bears 6 games in.

I’m not trying to be confrontational and I have no problem with any fan expressing their opinion. If you want to give up on the Bears after 6 games be my guest. No one is asking you to support the team. You can jump back on the Bears bandwagon if things turn around or you can just stop watching and wait until next year.

Grabber why don’t you go back and actually read my posts instead of just skimming through them. My point was that unless the team is playing as a solid unit it makes no difference who the coach is, they won’t be able to win games. Sorry, it may have been over your head. What you’re doing is nagging at one aspect of the problem instead of seeing the whole picture.
