I think Lovie saved his job with this game in my opinion. I still see Ron Turner being made a scapegoat as well as the O-Line coach and possibly the WR coach.

There certainly will be changes to this team, we just dont know exactly what they will be, but after this game I definitely see Lovie and Angelo returning.

It happened! The team I thought the Bears would put on the field for 2009 actually came out and played the way I hoped they would. Too bad they waited until game 15. Does this game not give us some small measure of hope? Optimism returns to one disgruntled Bears fan. Oh, I still want Ron Turner fired, I still want Lovie and Angelo gone, but this proves that we do have some talent on this roster. Please, I am begging you to make Aromashadou a number one receiver, keep Bennett at number two, and set Hester back at punt/kick returner and number 3 receiver. Keep Jarron Gilbert out there and let’s see what he can do.

I bet that was a fun game to be at.

Hope you didn’t freeze your butt off.

Keep in mind Brian Urlacher missed the entire year this year. If he’s back next year, the Bears will win more games. If he suffers more injuries, 1-15 is likely.
As far as Denver’s whole plan. Yeah, they started 6-0. They are 2-7 since then. Orton is either on path for another 9-7 year or 8-8 depending on what they do next week. They could have done about the same with Jay Cutler..and probably would be even better with Jay Cutler. I can see Denver drafting a QB with our draft pick this year though.

If I remember correctly the Bears have no 1st or 2nd round draft choices in 2010 right? If that’s the case then I also believe the Bears will be 1-15 in 2010. They are only a few wins better than the Browns, Lions, Rams, and Raiders.

The Bears fortunes went south this weekend when Mike Shanahan said he would not be interested in the Bears job because of his friendswhip with Lovie Smith. I admire his loyalty to friends, but he is killing any chance my new favorite team has at success!

He is the only one who could turn this mess around utilizing the only talented player on the roster, Jay Cutler. If Cowher comes in, I have no doubt that in three or four years that the Bears will be back, but it will be without Cutler as QB and the Bears $20 million lighter in their war chest. Cowher has ridiculed Cutler on the pathetic excuse for a pregame show (FOX)that he is a member of and I have no doubt that he will either move him or bench him shortly after his arrival as Bears coach if he comes. Man, what a waste of talent that will be!

Speaking of talent and coaching philosophy, how is that ‘game manager’ approach working out in Denver, anyway? And while we are at it, how is that ‘franchise’ QB that McPunk wanted instead of Cutler doing in KC? Denver fans are learning the hard way that there is more to head coaching in the NFL than wearing a ‘hoodie’!

Sadly, the best chance of a quick turnaround went out the door when Mike Shanahan said no thanks to the Bears this weekend.
