I couldn’t help but notice that Jerry
Angelo’s contract ends the same year Cutler’s does. If they don’t win a superbowl by then, we may loose a franchise QB too. After 2010, the draft picks need to be on point.

One more thing; Why the hell is Cutler still in the game when it is a lost cause? He has all the tools, plus the guts, to be a great quarterback and the Bears are blessed to have him in my opinion. Given the time to throw, he is as good as they get. Just another indication of Lovie’s stupidity in leaving him in a game that is truly lost.

“Don’t have a lot of reasons to give you why we played that way. I know we’re a better football team than that. But of course, our play didn’t say that today.”
Thanks Lovie for all of your usual, and I might add, predictable insight. You are a broken record that we are all bored to death with. The man shows no emotion what-so-ever, so why should his players play with any emotion. Watching Lovie go through the motions is as boring as watching my barber cut hair. What does it take to piss this man off and chew some butt on the sidelines. How a man this passive got this far in the NFL behooves me. Win or lose, I’d rather see Iron Mike pacing up and down the sidelines like a wounded lion anyday. Lovie should be coaching a grade school girls basketball team where it is important not to get to emotional and not to hurt some little girls feelings when they do something wrong. He really needs to grow a set.

Sad to say, but the only way to get the McCaskey’s attention is for revenue to be severely reduced. That means fans will need to boycott games. Bears fans should not have to shell out huge amounts of money to see what the Bears are offering for us this season.Bring in Bill Parcells or Mike Holmgren as GM. How about Bill Cowher or Mike Singletary as head coach. Those two would demand accountability from EVERYONE. It’s too bad we can’t bring back Ditka.

What bothers me especially during interviews and post-game press conferences is that NOBODY among the coaches and players seem pissed! It’s the same old “We didn’t get the job done today. We need to get better at ________________.” Well…DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill Cowher. Get him. It has nothing to do with the talent on this team. Lovie and co. aren’t devoid of drafting talent, as shown by the fact that when our players go elsewhere they succeed. The problems lie in execution whose responsibility falls directly on the coach’s shoulders. A person who is unable to motivate his players to play better cannot be a successful coach in the NFL. Has anyone else wondered why when Tommie Harris and Hunter Hillenmeier are on the sidelines we seem to give up a ton of points and give away games as quickly as possible?

Yea wow so everyone of u is on point!!!what I don’t get is that all us fans and media see what’s going on but it looks like the orginization doesn’t have a clue…we get a great qb in cutler but have no line and no defense to back him up but what bothers me the most is that nobody on the bears seem to care there’s no heart fire or desire the things that are supposed to drive these guys to play football to begin with its not just another game its a lost season!!! And I used to love lovie but now this whole soul searching thing come on lovie its time to breath fire down there butts and in all reality that won’t happen!!! I love the bears I always will but it looks like were still going to have to wait years for a ring ita not coming under this regime

Thanks for embarrassing the city of Chicago and all Bears fans, 2009 Chicago Bears. What a horrible effort yesterday and the week before. So much needs to change, it will be interesting to see what happens the rest of this season. I would say let’s start looking forward to a high draft pick, but the Bears won’t even be attending the first day of the NFL draft. Good luck with those picks Broncos and Bucs!!

Yesterdays game made it clear that this team is avarage at best. I love watching chicago football. Yesterday was the first time I walked away even before the half. I have the feeling its going to get worse long before it gets better. That team need leadership and someone to hold people accountable.

Everyone keeps assuming that because of the guaranteed $10 million, and knowing the way the McCaskeys do business, that Lovie is secure for at least one more year. And at least one member of the media (I won’t name the source) says he should be given a mandate of playoffs or you’re out for next year, which I don’t agree with — the problem is the mandate should have been for THIS year, not next.

Eating bad contracts happens all the time in the NFL and every other league. The only problem is the Bears seem to do it a lot more often than most due to their poor decision making. I’m not saying it will happen, but unless they dump Lovie before his contract is up (and find someone else, which we know the Bears always screw up) you’re going to potentially have a few wasted years because you’ve already invested in Cutler. Angelo’s already gotten the McCaskeys to buy in and invest a lot in Cutler with the extension. Keeping Lovie and his staff around for 2 more years is only going to eat into part of that extension time w/o really starting to solve and address the issues at hand, and that will essentially cancel out much of the positive of getting Cutler to begin with.

I said it when they got Cutler and will say it again: If the Bears aren’t able to figure out how to get to mutliple playoff berths with Cutler here, something is terribly, terribly wrong with the way football operations are being run. Unfortunately, as we’ve all seen from all the years of hard work Roy has dedicated to writing about this topic, we can see that this is the case. The sad fact is that Bears’ business model is closer to that of the Browns or Raiders than it is to the Steelers or Patriots.

It was just yet another disappointing Sunday night, and I can’t disagree with anything that other posters have written. At the end of the day, the Bears are a just-below-middle-of-the-pack-also-ran and I don’t see that changing for the foreseeable future, certainly not until there is a change of coaching staff and a huge change of ethos at the Bears – get some aggressive, never say die football attitude going. I suppose the bright spot was Jay Cutler – although I am only going on the stats – it would appear that he had a good night despite everything the OL made him go through. We do, at least, have a top QB and if he is patient enough to stay with the Bears until we get some draft picks some coaches with balls (and I don’t mean footballs!), we should be able to build a good team around him.
