Da Bears

[DMBcubs3641]

The second half schedule is really easy and if the Bears can go 5-3 to start they can basically walk into the playoffs. Even if they go 4-4 to start, anything worse than 10-6 would be disappointing given how easy the last 8 games are.
I truly believe there's no such thing as an easy game in this league. I also don't find anything particularly "easy" about the Eagles, Lions, Chargers, Raiders, Chiefs, or Packers.

so true:thumbsup

[DMBZeppelin]

I truly believe there's no such thing as an easy game in this league. I also don't find anything particularly "easy" about the Eagles, Lions, Chargers, Raiders, Chiefs, or Packers.
Eagles aren't in the last eight games.

Vs. Lions
Vs. Chargers
@ Raiders
Vs. Chiefs
@ Broncos
Vs. Seahawks
@ Packers
@ Vikings (rest starters?)

Sure there's no such thing as "easy", but outside of the Packers who's striking fear into your heart? We get the Chargers and Chiefs in November in Soldier Field. Regardless of how great the offense and defense of the Chargers can be at times. Have you seen how awful they are on special teams the last few years? Hester + Knox against Chargers special teams will be fun for us. The Chiefs don't look to be the 2010 team. Will Jason Campbell pick us apart? How about Tavaris Jackson? The Broncos will be bad. His overall point is the last 8 games are a lot more favorable than the first 8, which is true.

[Tiduwho]

We really have no idea about the difficulty of our schedule yet. You never do. This is the NFL. Teams go from 5-11 to 11-5 in one season. I have no opinion on our schedule at the moment, other than the next two weeks are going to be TOUGH games.

[DMBZeppelin]

There's been some kind of family emergency with Urlacher's mom. His status for the next couple days is unknown. Bears don't know when he'll be back. Looks like he could be out for Sunday. Even if he does play he likely will have zero practice time, and won't know the game plan. Not a good situation, but hopefully everything is ok with his mom.

[skwormin]

Even if he somehow plays with zero practice time, I wouldn't be worried.


We really do need him though..



Random note...

anyone have any awesome iPhone backgrounds from the game sunday? I'm trying to make some right now but am having a hard time finding good high res pics.


Urlacher diving TD pic would be awesome

[DMBcubs3641]

Thoughts go out to Urlachers mom. Don't like our chances Sunday if he's not on the lineup though.

[DMBcubs3641]

His mom died unexpectedly. Gotta think he won't be back with the team in time for the game Sunday.

[DMBZeppelin]

My condolences to the Urlacher family. Lavoyda Urlacher was only 51 years old. I can't imagine what he's going through.

"My first priority right now is to be with my family as we mourn her loss and make the arrangements to lay her to rest," Urlacher said in a statement. "This is a very difficult and emotional time for us and I sincerely ask that you respect our privacy. Thank you."

[Bron Yr Aur]

That's terrible. 51 years old? Wow, both of my parents are older than that.

[UCFish]

Very sad......

[Absolute34]

The Bears have a brutal schedule. Wow.

[BotheDMBFan]

That's sad as shit.

The situation is very delicate, obviously, but I am told Brian Urlacher plans on playing for #Bears (http://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23Bears) Sunday at #Saints (http://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23Saints)

Brian Urlacher gets a hug from his mother Lavoyda Lenard while taking calls from the Bears after hearing that he was picked as their first round choice in 2000.

[bonzo48280]

damn, she looks very sweet. I feel horrible. Urlacher is going to absolutely kill it on Sunday/the rest of the season, I cannot wait for this.

[BotheDMBFan]

I fear for Drew Brees and Mark Ingram's lives.

[DMBZeppelin]

damn, she looks very sweet. I feel horrible. Urlacher is going to absolutely kill it on Sunday/the rest of the season, I cannot wait for this.
Someone said they remember him doing the Campbell Soup commercials with his mom. I couldn't find it when I searched for it, but this quote popped up:

In the ESPN The Magazine article in 2002 Urlacher stated, “My mom is my heart.”

So ya I agree people will be hurt.

[skwormin]

Urlacher will beast it

[Roose13]

I'm an Eagles and I'll be sporting my Urlacher jersey today and on Sunday. Shows how much love I've had for him his entire career.

My prayers go out to his family and I know he will play the game of his life on Sunday.

[sean52692]

damn, she looks very sweet. I feel horrible. Urlacher is going to absolutely kill it on Sunday/the rest of the season, I cannot wait for this.

:thumbsup

[DMBcubs3641]

Pumped for Sunday. 54 is gonna wreak some havoc.

[DMBZeppelin]

Urlacher is back at practice today.

Corey Wootton on Brian Urlacher: "I think he's going to have probably one of the best games of his career."

Henry Melton: "Brian's a warrior. I don't even know how I would even handle that if I even lost a family member, let alone my mother."

Henry Melton on Brian Urlacher: "He's amazing for being back here already."

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I love the Chicago bears.

[UCFish]

He is gonna wreck someone

[DMBZeppelin]

This went down yesterday, and got over shadowed by bad news. I hope he gets another one for this week to pass up Dent.

URLACHER NAMED NFC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

LAKE FOREST, IL – Bears LB Brian Urlacher has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after recording 10

tackles, one tackle for a loss, one interception and returning a fumble 12 yards for a touchdown in Chicago’s 30-12 Week 1
victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

The fumble return touchdown marked the fourth time in Urlacher’s career that he found the end zone. It was the first touchdown for Urlacher since an 85-yard interception return on December 23, 2007 versus Green Bay. It was the first fumble return touchdown for Urlacher since a 90-yarder at Atlanta on October 7, 2001. His other touchdown came on a 27-
yard reception at Washington on December 23, 2001.

Urlacher’s interception was the 19th of his career, third most in franchise history among linebackers. He has recorded an interception in nine of his 12 NFL seasons. Since joining the NFL in 2000, Urlacher’s 19 interceptions are fourth most among NFL linebackers.

This is Urlacher’s six Defensive Player of the Week Award, tied for the most in franchise history with Pro Football Hall of Famer DE Richard Dent.

[BotheDMBFan]

I think if he even just has a pretty good game, he'll get it regardless.

[lockman21]

I think if he even just has a pretty good game, he'll get it regardless.

I don't know about that.

[BotheDMBFan]

I don't know about that.

He'll get the sympathy pick on it.

[bonzo48280]

He'll get the sympathy pick on it.

this won't be necessary when he dominates anyway

Good to see the Saints are a clean sweep.

[DMBZeppelin]

Barber to miss the game again.

[BotheDMBFan]

Fucking Barber. We can haz Chester Taylor again?

[Tiduwho]

Could really use a win this weekend.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I could really use a Sunday tomorrow but I'll have to wait two more days before I have a reason to live again.

[Doors Allan Coe]

Well...looks like Angelo isn't the bastard he was made out to be. I'm excited to see Kreutz play against our D-line. Last week he didn't look too hot. Hopefully that same goes for this week. Maybe we'll see more of Peppers at DT just to torture him...



Former Bears center Olin Kreutz, now playing for the Saints, via Mark Potash of the Chicago Sun-Times: "To be perfectly honest and perfectly fair, they made me a fair offer to come back and I didn't go back. There's no hard feelings.''

:lol ESPN does this every week to the Bears. I'm guessing last year the majority would've had the Bears at 4-12 or so. I'm not convinced that they are that great, but it looks like the Saints aren't exactly as good as they were a couple years ago.

Cutler cannot make any mistakes this week. He's got to have a great game.

[BotheDMBFan]

We have to shut down Sproles.

[DMBZeppelin]

I know we're big underdogs. Even in Vegas we starte out as 7 point underdogs. It's now down to 6 1/2, but I'm confident. Without question the Saints NEED this game. Just because they're the Saints doesn't mean they can't start out 0-2. While I'm sure our guys might normally be looking ahead to the Packers. I think the team will be motivated to get a win for Urlacher.

[skwormin]

Yeah a W this Sunday would be HUGE.


I love when ESPN picks against us. Time to rape.

Yeah, Vegas is crazy this week.

Bears +7 @NO
Chargers +7 @NE


Hopefully they don't change much. I'm defintely throwing a couple of teasers in.

Bears +16 @NO
Chargers +16 @NE
Packers -1/2 @Carolina

I would like to find another early game to put in place of the Chargers so I can put them in mid-day.

Maybe Baltimore +3 @Tenn in the teaser... yeah I like that...

[Tiduwho]

Doubting the bears is just a sickening thing.

[sean52692]

Thanks people. :thumbsup

All the sports bars here only show the Browns/Bengals/Steelers - it's real frustrating. :lol

[Tiduwho]

Forte is in Beast Mode this year....

[Tiduwho]

So he leads with his helmet while Bennett is in the act of catching the ball....and probably broke a few of his ribs at least. Cool.

[rustysurf83]

Forte is in Beast Mode this year....

That extension is getting more expensive each week...

[Tiduwho]

Cutler could've ran that there.

[DMBZeppelin]

LOL at the Saints defender. Can't drive a QB to the groud like that if the ball is out before contact.

[DMBZeppelin]

Sanzenbacher owns you!!!!

[sean52692]

TD Sanzenbacher!

[vaxarado]

Happy to see Sanzenbacher got his first NFL TD. Dude is a beast.

[Tiduwho]

So as he's going out of bounds he made sure he's going out of bounds.....and yet the announcers and the fans are going insane like the Saints are getting jobbed?


LOL @ Saints fans already looking for excuses. Call a penalty, I don't really care. But you gave up a comical touchdown to a white wide receiver, and instead of even paying attention to that, it's a ref ref game?



LOL: Well hey, at least your bitching gave the Saints a free first down that wasn't. The ball was over a yard short, and during the timeout the refs for apparently no reason, just moved the ball a yard further and gave the Saints a first down.

[DMBZeppelin]

I dont understand how that ball got moved well past the 1st down marker during that timeout.

[rustysurf83]

It would be cool if Aikman took Payton's dick out of his mouth long enough to announce the game.

[Tiduwho]

Major Wright....guh. Awful.

[BotheDMBFan]

We suck.

[DMBZeppelin]

Wright's future is at strong safety. Only reason he's at FS is because Meriweather is banged up at the moment. Playing from behind in this dome will be rough.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Bears 27 Saints 17

Bears 17 - Saints - 27

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

God our offensive line is still terrible

[sean52692]

God damn it

[sean52692]

Hurd is a turd

[DMBZeppelin]

Fucking Hurd. Special teams, o-line, and secondary killing us at the moment.

[rustysurf83]

Fucking idiots...going to be a blowout.

[Tiduwho]

Our O-line....joke it is.

[sean52692]

Fucking Hurd. Special teams, o-line, and secondary killing us at the moment.

Yep.

Let's hope for a turnover here on defense, because that's what drives this team.

[BotheDMBFan]

Fucking idiots. FUCKING IDIOTS.

[DMBZeppelin]

Defense needs to get some turnovers.

[sean52692]

Defense needs to get some turnovers.

This is the only answer

[sean52692]

Nice stop there!

[DMBZeppelin]

That was a huge stop.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Alright let's give cutler some protection for at least one drive

[Tiduwho]

So every new player we have is hurt now, amirite?

Roy Williams, Barber, Merriweather?

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Don't forget Earl bennet

[DMBZeppelin]

Hester HAS to make that catch. Damnit!

[sean52692]

Oh come on.

[sean52692]

Nice of Joe Buck to keep welcoming us inside his broadcast booth

[RAPUNZEL13]

Don't like that call on 3rd and 2

[sean52692]

:lol at that and Chase Daniel

[Tiduwho]

So Brees actually WAS in the pocket, and yet no grounding call for him. :lol

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Bring on the blowout

[DMBZeppelin]

How did Cutler get flagged for intentional grounding by the sideline, but what Brees did there was ok?

[Tiduwho]

Cutler should have just run there.

[sean52692]

We are really sucking now. Webb loves to get flagged

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

What happened to us...?

[Tiduwho]

Cutler's footwork is just disappearing with our shitty O-line making him nervous.

[Tiduwho]

Cutler should have been running like that 3 times already...

[Tiduwho]

That's the end of Carimi...

LOL @ JA having NO absolutely NO depth on the offensive line.

[DMBZeppelin]

If Carimi is done it's about to be scary Omiyale time.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Lololol last year we were lucky as he'll with injury. Wow we are fucked with Carime out now...

[DMBZeppelin]

One score game. We're still in this somehow. PLEASE be ok Carimi.

[Tiduwho]

Stop losing please.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Injuries just killing us this year.

[sean52692]

Wooo almost a pick there!

[BotheDMBFan]

A pick could have been huge, but good 3 and Out D. Now I hope the O can rise to the occasion.

[DMBZeppelin]

We need to run ball more.

[BotheDMBFan]

We need to be aggressive, like we were on that last drive.

[sean52692]

We need to run ball more.

I agree with this. Just keep getting the ball to Forte because he's on fire today

[BotheDMBFan]

Jay is in love with Dane right now.

[Tiduwho]

That's the perfect pass to Roy Williams there...not to Sanzenbacher. Guh.

[BotheDMBFan]

Why are our WRs so suck right now? Bad throw from Jay, though.

[sean52692]

That was a disastrous series of plays

[BotheDMBFan]

The O line seemed to hold well that drive.

[Tiduwho]

The O line seemed to hold well that drive.

They weren't blitzing hard, and Jay was stepping up in the pocket.

[BotheDMBFan]

Better than last year, when they would rush four and Cutler would die.

[BotheDMBFan]

That was beautiful. Great job D.

[sean52692]

3 and out!

C'mon offense.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Let's go O LINE! do ur job!

[sean52692]

Aaaand FUCK

[BotheDMBFan]

Of course. The old stand by. Great blocking, assholes.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Good Job O LINE!

[Tiduwho]

Go O-Line!!! Good job JA, we didn't need O-line help!

[BotheDMBFan]

We NEED a turnover here. Badly.

[sean52692]

god it's so frustrating rooting for a team with an awful O-Line.

Maybe a turnover here?

[sean52692]

Stop em here

[BotheDMBFan]

So. Fucking. Useless. Hard to not see that happening, what with us not covering their WRs.

[Tiduwho]

Omfg omfg I was LAUGHING before the play, LOOK AT THAT LINEUP!!!! The Bears are playing zone when they have 3 wide receivers up there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LMFAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rustysurf83]

Good thing we added Roy Williams!!!!

[sean52692]

This is frustrating

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

That was all the offensive lines fault setting all that up, but somehow it will be Cutlers fault...

[sean52692]

Still pissed we got rid of Olsen. He and Forte used to be our offense.

[Tiduwho]

Remember, it's not the O-line's fault media, it's all Jay's fault.

[sean52692]

Oh, look, another touchback!

[sean52692]

Our receivers suck too. No one has been open today.

and there's Forte picking up 10 yards.

[sean52692]

Phew, got lucky on that one.

[Tiduwho]

Talk about going all out Martz....pass pass pass pass pass.

[BotheDMBFan]

I wish we could have completed the pass there, but you can't really blame Cutler for that not working out.

[sean52692]

This is a crucial 3rd and 10 here. Prediction: all of our receivers are covered. Heavy pressure on Cutler. Cutler gets sacked.

[BotheDMBFan]

This is a crucial 3rd and 10 here. Prediction: all of our receivers are covered. Heavy pressure on Cutler. Cutler gets sacked.


Solid prediction.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Nobody has been open whenever are open they can't catch, Cutler has absolutely no time in the pocket... were fucked.

[BotheDMBFan]

Why can't we fucking catch?

[sean52692]

Solid prediction.

It's a safe one

[Tiduwho]

Hold on to the DAMN BALL Sanz!!!!!! :BANG

[sean52692]

Sometimes I think that this offensive line is ruining Jay Cutlers career.

[sean52692]

OK - a turnover would be amazing here. let's get a pick six.

[BotheDMBFan]

See that Dane? That's keeping the ball in your fucking hands.

[BotheDMBFan]

OK - a turnover would be amazing here. let's get a pick six.

I would cry. It won't happen though. We'll lose by 24.

[sean52692]

I would cry. It won't happen though. We'll lose by 24.

Agreed. Our secondary is too weak right now.

[BotheDMBFan]

Our team is suck. 0-16. Yeah, we'll be so bad, they'll take a win away from us.

[sean52692]

Total mismatch on that catch there

[BotheDMBFan]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!

Just...fuckers.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

If they score we lose...

[sean52692]

Let's put Peppers at offensive tackle for next week.

[sean52692]

If they score we lose...

We lose no matter what

[rustysurf83]

Sometimes I think that Jerry Angelo is ruining Jay Cutlers career.

Fixed it for you

[sean52692]

Shit. Fuck. Bad words. Damn. Wright is hurt

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Cool another injury

[sean52692]

Fixed it for you

Agreed. That moron.

[sean52692]

So are the Lions better than us this year?

[Tiduwho]

Maybe a concussion for Major?

[Tiduwho]

Some teams got better in the offseason. We effectively did nothing to address our shortcomings. Cool.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I'm so glad that we picked up an offensive line and solid receivers in the offseason. I'm so excited for this long season!

[rustysurf83]

So are the Lions better than us this year?

Well they are up 31 on KC and the Bears OL still sucks and they still don't have a #1 WR so.....

[sean52692]

Go Beubs! Cubes and Bares unite!

[sean52692]

Ok - Brees, just throw for a TD here to help out my fantasy team and put an end to this game.

[sean52692]

Maybe a concussion for Major?

Sounds like it. Hope he's okay...Especially with Harris banged up

[lockman21]

Thank God for the Blackhawks.

[sean52692]

Thank God for the Blackhawks.

Hawkey! :multi

[bonzo48280]

let's go hawks

[skwormin]

Jesus.....

[sean52692]

The Bulls don't play Bullsy, but the Hawks play Hawkey!

[Tiduwho]

This "review on a score" is a joke. He OBVIOUSLY stepped out. And they just don't care.

[sean52692]

Jesus.....

Christ...

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I might be giving up already. The Packers, The Saints, The Patriots all much better than us. We have no line or receivers and all our players are injured. We may squeak into the playoffs but we have no play off hope. I just sold all my Bears stock.

[rustysurf83]

Cutler's about to get knocked out for the season.

[lockman21]

I hate watching this team.

WHY DIDN'T WE SIGN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN?!

[sean52692]

Omiyale false start!

I just can't count the Bears out yet. The Saints are a good team, and a great team at home. Still....our offensive line looks worse than ever, and the Saints aren't a great defense.

[sean52692]

I hate watching this team.

WHY DIDN'T WE SIGN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN?!

Because we're all about screens to Forte and dump off passes to Forte. So maybe we should sign Forte?

[DMBZeppelin]

That's game. Had to get at least three there.

[sean52692]

I could have got that sack.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

That's game. Had to get at least three there.

It was over when they scored. Us not scoring there was just the AMEN.

[DMBZeppelin]

Seriously Okoye? Don't do that.

[DMBZeppelin]

Damnit if we could have gotten a safety we'd be back in it... we'd lose but we'd be in it.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I might be giving up already. The Packers, The Saints, The Patriots all much better than us. We have no line or receivers and all our players are injured. We may squeak into the playoffs but we have no play off hope. I just sold all my Bears stock.

Would it be incorrect to post this as my Facebook status as a bitter bears fans?

[rustysurf83]

What a fucking joke.

[sean52692]

Turned the game off.

[DMBZeppelin]

I hate this team. Really showed our lack of depth today.

[sean52692]

zero depth

[DMBZeppelin]

Jesus!!! How was that not a flag on Sanzenbacher? This and the no review on the TD... these officials suck.

[Tiduwho]

Don't forget about the lol phantom 1st down where they moved the ball up an extra yard for no reason during the timeout. :lol

What kills me is all the Saints fans complaining in the first half saying the game and the refs were fixed against them.

[rustysurf83]

Jesus!!! How was that not a flag on Sanzenbacher? This and the no review on the TD... these officials suck.

And the phantom first down earlier...i mean we suck and would've lost anyhow but...

[lockman21]

I wouldn't blame Cutler if he just quit for the rest of this game.

[Bron Yr Aur]

So.....Martz has gone back to only passing again? Or have we been playing catch-up from the start?

[rustysurf83]

Are you fucking kidding me. Let's just start off at first and 15 and save everyone the trouble.

[rustysurf83]

Cutler should just walk straight to the locker room.

[Tiduwho]

Everyone: MEET AT THE QUARTERBACK!!!!


:lol :lol :lol


This is the Giants all over again.

[DMBZeppelin]

Why even go for it!? Let Cutler get fucking hurt on a meaningless fucking play?????? We're just getting him killed for fun!

[Tiduwho]

We stopped running the ball when the game was still close, and just pass pass passed over and over.


LOL @ Martz passing the ball until we are down and HAVE to pass.

[rustysurf83]

Hanie time please.

[DMBZeppelin]

WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?! RUN OUT THE CLOCK! Seriously fuck the Bears.

[Tiduwho]

Thank you JA!!!!


Thank you for not getting any O-lineman!!!!

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Every team in the league is going to watch this game and realize that all you need to do to beat the bears is to pass rush the shit out of us.

[lockman21]

I'm watching the Bills/Raiders, because, ya know, that's actually a good game.

[DMBZeppelin]

Cutler just retire. You might make it to 30 that way.

[rustysurf83]

I thought that Tice was an awesome OL mastermind? These guys are coming in un fucking touched.

[rustysurf83]

Cutler just retire. You might make it to 30 that way.

Seriously, i mean could you blame him for pulling a Palmer?

[DMBZeppelin]

I thought that Tice was an awesome OL mastermind? These guys are coming in un fucking touched.
Best way to protect Cutler is to run the ball. Tice can only make a bowl of shit taste so good. You can't go empty backfield over and over and over again. WE CAN'T BLOCK THAT OFFENSE! YOU CAN'T KILL YOUR FRANCHISE QB!!! I just don't understand this at all. It's football 101 on what the Bears need to do to win. We have to be BALANCED with our run:pass ratio. :BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG

[rustysurf83]

I honestly don't think Cutler has a reasonable chance to make it through the entire game next week.

[Bron Yr Aur]

I honestly don't think Cutler has a reasonable chance to make it through the entire game next week.

Seriously. If they can't stop the Saints d-line, how are they going to expect to slow down the GB defense.

[DMBCubs25]

Relax, Angelo knows what he's doing.

[Tiduwho]

I'm watching the Bills/Raiders, because, ya know, that's actually a good game.

You should be watching Rexman. Good Rex outlasts Bad Rex and the Skins win again!

[DMBZeppelin]

I thought the defense would rally around Urlacher and show some fight today. If Meriweather and Harris aren't starting we don't stand a chance against the Packers.

[Tiduwho]

I thought that Tice was an awesome OL mastermind? These guys are coming in un fucking touched.

Martz is still calling the plays.


Also, Tice was working with Carimi and Lance Louis.

[lockman21]

Guys, relax. It's not like we knew the line needed work this offseason. They looked so good last year. Jerry did everything he could to improve this OL.

[Tiduwho]

Best way to protect Cutler is to run the ball. Tice can only make a bowl of shit taste so good. You can't go empty backfield over and over and over again. WE CAN'T BLOCK THAT OFFENSE! YOU CAN'T KILL YOUR FRANCHISE QB!!! I just don't understand this at all. It's football 101 on what the Bears need to do to win. We have to be BALANCED with our run:pass ratio. :BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG:BANG

Nothing you can do but lol here....

[DMBZeppelin]

Nothing you can do but LOL here....
That is awesome :lol

[Tiduwho]

51 passes to 12 rushes......LMFAO @ Martz. :lol :lol :lol

[DMBZeppelin]

Forte 10 carries, 49 yards (4.9 AVG) meanwhile Cutler has 45 pass attempts, 1 carry for 12 yards, and 6 sacks. Meaning 52 dropbacks for Cutler! That's just.... that's just giving the Saints a win.

[DMBZeppelin]

51 passes to 12 rushes......LMFAO @ Martz. :lol :lol :lol
We think a like.

Cutler's run while a rush was intended to be a pass. Ya glad Bell was able to get a rush in there for -1 yards.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I thought that Tice was an awesome OL mastermind? These guys are coming in un fucking touched. this

You should be watching Rexman. Good Rex outlasts Bad Rex and the Skins win again! I supported Rex and still support Rex because nobody else did early in his career when he's clearly a decent QB.

I honestly don't think Cutler has a reasonable chance to make it through the entire game next week. don't worry our offense line will magically get better. Along the same line of thinking, we didn't get any OLinemen because we knew this.

Seriously. If they can't stop the Saints d-line, how are they going to expect to slow down the GB defense. season over.

51 passes to 12 rushes......LMFAO @ Martz. :lol :lol :lol annnnnddd this...

[skwormin]

51 passes to 12 rushes......LMFAO @ Martz. :lol :lol :lol

not trying to justify this.. but a lot of the passes were quick dumps or screens to forte

He had over 100 yds receiving

[TwoStep2888]

Excited for next week, Bearsfans! Should be a close, tough, messy game, as Packers/Bears tends to be :bounce

[skwormin]

after what I saw today, the bears have no chance. cutler will die. facepalm times infinity

[bonzo48280]

after what I saw today, the bears have no chance. cutler will die. facepalm times infinity

if you take out the one big play, which the defense hardly ever gives up, and the fumble, then the bears lose this game 16-13. Not to mention the Bears getting no turnovers this week (not including the Tillman fumble, the game was over at that point). We have no idea how bad the injury to Carimi is, if it's even bad at all. The Bears ALWAYS play the Packers well, even when they aren't a good team. to suggest that the Bears have no chance is foolish.

[UCFish]

uggghhhh

Detroit beating up KC 48-3 is not encouraging.

this quickly erased any good feelings I had about this season after last week

KC is kinda fucking really terrible, though.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Exactly this. After last week we looked almost like 06 defense caliber. After this week, losing all these players and unmasking our non existent o line I feel worse off than last year. We'll never have luck like that again for a while. I'm almost wanting to not care already rather than follow this shit show the next few months only to be disappointed.

[rustysurf83]

FML, going to be forced to suffer through Aikman and Buck's verbal diahrea again next week. As if the inevitable ass beating wasn't bad enough....

Shit. NOOO! I can't take Aikman! I just can't. Buck is OKAY for football, but Aikman brings nothing to the table.

I wonder if the game will be on in my area.

[bonzo48280]

Carimi has a dislocated knee

[lockman21]

Good thing we signed depth at the OL in the offseason.

Knee subluxation is same injury #Bears (http://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23Bears) RT Gabe Carimi had at Wisconsin. Sidelines him probably next 2 weeks. trib.in/pOxc7L (http://t.co/ZlCYaQcK)

Bears tackle Carimi to miss time with knee injury (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-injuries-could-create-holes-in-bears-offensive-line-20110919,0,296663.story)

Carimi suffered a knee sprain, according to Smith, but an NFL (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/national-football-league-ORSPT000007.topic) source said the player has a knee subluxation (a partial dislocation), an injury he suffered previously at Wisconsin.

The good news is that there is no ligament damage. The bad news is Carimi likely will miss the next two games vs. the Green Bay Packers (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/green-bay-packers-ORSPT000042.topic) and Carolina Panthers (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/carolina-panthers-ORSPT000035.topic). He left the stadium Sunday night wearing a brace, and said he was confident he would be OK.

During a four-year career as a starter for the Badgers, Carimi missed only three games, all during his sophomore year. This development will thrust Frank Omiyale (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/frank-omiyale-PESPT0014048.topic) into a starting role.

Guard Lance Louis (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/lance-louis-PESPT0000008664.topic) (sprained right ankle) didn’t practice last week and could miss another game as well.

“We have a few injuries on the offensive line but we’ll just have to plug other guys in and keep that rolling,” Smith said.

[Tiduwho]

Yay Bears! JA did the right thing this offseason. Address depth when you need it AND you are $20 million under the cap? LOL, why would you?

[DMBCubs25]

It's time to throw caution to the wind and extend Angelo!

I just spent $160+ bucks for my ticket to Wembley. If the Bears are going to be fucking pussies and suck ass for the next 5 weeks I want my money back. Fuck Jerry A

Bears will be fine. Lovie said he was going to have "the talk" with Martz about balance. If we do that we'll be good. The Bears have given up 11 sacks over the first two weeks. That's the most sacks a team has given up in 2 weeks since the 49ers in 2008... when guess who? Martz was their coordinator.

There was some kind of stat how we won our last 8 of 11 or 12 games. In all the wins we had ran more than passed. Because what happens we we pass a lot? Cutler gets kicked in the throat. The Bears need to run the ball, play defense, play special teams, and keep games close. We still need Cutler to make big throws, keep drives alive, and move the ball with his feet when he can.

It's possible to win in the NFL by passing a majority of the time. Feels like the Patriots do that, and Brady usually has all day in the pocket. Until the Bears can block it that won't happen. I think Martz needs to allow audibles in this system. I know his philosophy is that there's a solution for everything in every single play. Cutler is a smart guy. If he sees the passing play has no chance let him go to a run.

It's just unfortunate that Martz almost refuses to evolve. He obviously has a brilliant offensive mind. He doesn't seem to adapt his system to the talent he has, or focus on protecting players. Be it his QB or a bad offensive tackle. I don't understand when he sees Cutler getting killed play after play how he doesn't come to the conclusion "well maybe we should try a run."

The Packers have just gotten lit up in the passing game for 2 weeks straight. I wonder if Martz will see this on film and just go nuts again against the Packers. Could be scary.

[Tiduwho]

It's looking bleak.

[bonzo48280]

Bear fans are bipolar.

Bears might never win again.

Really good interview by Mac and Spiegs over at the Score. They had one of Fox's top guys on to basically ask what they have against Cutler.

If you didn't see the Atlanta game on TV here's a link with video of what happened. Just scroll down past the blurry screen shot:
