The Bears win over the Rams proved nothing. They beat a crappy team that lost their quarterback on their first drive and their best running back and offensive lineman missed the game due to injury.
So the Bears did what they had to do and win by a lot. Matt Forte ran the ball well, Kyle Orton did a nice job even though it seemed like his ankle was still not 100%. The offense isn’t really the problem. It is still the defense and lately, it’s been special teams.
I still believe that Jerry Angelo, Lovie Smith and Bob Babich all need to be shown the door. The final blow was what they did with Devin Hester and tell him and everyone else that this guy is going to play wide receiver. They took a guy who was amazing on kickoff and punt returns and put him into a number three wide receiver. If it is not broke, don’t fix it. That didn’t happen though. Even last year, he was still taking back kicks and punts for touchdowns while playing a little bit on offense. I am fine with Hester being on offense a few plays a game but not starting. I am not sure if he is still hurt from that rib injury but it is very concerning.
So thanks to the Bears organization for what has happened to Devin Hester.
Next up: The Bears play the Vikings on Sunday Night Football. This might be the biggest game of the year.
That is the recap for this week. Have a good Thanksgiving everybody. Be safe.

It’s hard for me to remain very interested in the Bears as long as Lovie is head coach.
I don’t expect the Bears to win the Super Bowl this year, if they make the playoffs.

Mrs. Howell is about in touch with the Bears situation as Lovie was in touch with what was happening on Gilligan’s Island. I predict a spanking from the Vikings. Hope I’m wrong.

I think you’re right. I actually thought they would lose to the Rams.(Before the game started) But the fact that they actually showed upand played a game last week means Lovie gives the next week off.
My prediction: Minnesota 34 – Bears 6
I hope I’m wrong too.
Genre
The Bears are going someplace after the regular season….home.

I agree with Nemo and Chucky’s predictions…and hope I’m wrong.
Is Lovie related to Dusty? Just wondering…

I am a steelers fan….dont know how I can root for a team like the steelers and the cubs….When I am wrong I say I am wrong….Kevin Towers has been reported as saying he has found a third team that will help put Jake Peavy where he wants to be…now the guy who sold him on chicago would make a better pitching coach than Larry Roachchild… what do you say Rick Sutcliffe if you get peavy here you should come on back and be our pitching coach……

Gus Ferrotte just threw a 99 yard TD pass to Bernard Berrian. A big “Fuck You!!!” goes out to Lovie and his defense.
Fucking assholes.

If the Bears lose this game, it will be because of Charles Tillman and his stupid antics. Blown coverage on Berrian and then the horse collar tackle.
