Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Ben Johnson

Fire away.

Well, today was something I wasn’t expecting. Jerry Angelo, Mike Martz and Shane Day are all out the door. I am not really sure what Shane Day did wrong but I welcome any changes that are being made right now. The way I see it, everyone is at fault for this failure of a franchise. I was pissed that Ted Phillips and Lovie Smith are still here but some idiots gone are better than none. If Tim Ruskell takes over as GM, the Bears will continue to suck. He was in the Seattle Seahawks organization and is the one responsible for their recent failures.

The Bears must find someone that has a proven track record of success  to take over as the general manager. It doesn’t have to be another general manager, but maybe someone who is known to scout talent well. As my previous post goes, the Bears have all of those needs for this team to compete next year. And as far as Lovie Smith is concerned, it’s Super Bowl victory or get fired next year because the new general manager will probably want his own guy in charge anyway.

As far as this site is concerned, it will stay at Fire Jerry Angelo for now. Some dick bags already registered the .com, .org, and .net domains for Lovie Smith. I was thinking of “Go away Virginia McCaskey” but decided not to in fear that the old bitch may actually “go away” and therefore, I’ll probably feel responsible. Call me superstitious.

Discuss.

It is very frustrating that I have to write the same shit every single year after the Bears finish their season. I figured I would just copy and paste the same stuff I wrote after last season because it would look nearly the same as to what I am about to write now. The only difference would be some of the player’s names. I said this in the last thread and I’ll say it again: It is very embarrassing to be a Bears fan. To have an organization that allows constant failure is embarrassing. We have seen this shit for too long.

It’s almost a given that major changes won’t be made. I heard a bit of Lovie Smith’s press conference the day after the season ended and made his case for staying by saying there were a lot of injuries. This is the kind of comment that would piss off any other franchise. Not for the Bears. Knowing the McCaskey’s, he’ll probably be given a bonus. Myself, along with the many other Bears fans out there are sick and tired of this shit. I said above that nothing will change as far as the front office is concerned but if there is any prayer out there, Jerry Angelo can get lucky in the draft and get some players in here that can actually play.

I am going to guess that the Bears will have about six or seven picks in the draft. In the NFL, most of those draft picks are expected to contribute right away. With Angelo’s picks, only three or four out of his 50 picks in the last decade have actually panned out. That is a terrible stat (Cue Irish Yeti). With all that being said, here is what the Bears need (in no particular order) in the offseason.

1. Offensive lineman: Two of them at least through the draft/free agency. For the first 11 games or so, the offensive line to many people’s surprise, played very well. Gabe Carimi had a knee injury in the second game of the season and has his annual injury later on. I read last week that the Bears gave backup lineman Edwin Williams a two-year contract extension? Why? Your guess is as good as mine. Also, we cannot go through another season of Frank Omiyale or some other bum pass them by at will.

2. Wide receivers: I prefer three or four new guys. Earl Bennett is nice to have around. But assholes like Johnny Knox, Dane Sanzenbacher and Roy Williams have no business being on this time. At first, I liked Knox but I have found out that this guy sucks. He cannot run routes properly, he has horrible hands and cannot hold onto the ball as we saw with his unfortunate injury against the Seahawks. The Bears need wide receivers who can do everything that Johnny Knox cannot do. Fuck Johnny Knox in my opinion. He is the sole reason for Jay Cutler breaking his thumb. Last thing I’ll say is something I have been saying for a few years now and that is Devin Hester is not a wide receiver and never should be one.

3. Running backs: Matt Forte will be here but I am not sure for how long. Getting back to Jerry Angelo, fuck this guy because he is the one that is refusing to give Matt Forte his money. He is the best player on the team and he deserves to be paid that way. After finding out why the Cowboys told Marion Barber to take a hike, I am convinced the Bears need another running back. And no, it’s not Khalil Bell. In just a few games, he has fumbled the ball more than most runnings back do in a full season. Fuck that guy too.

4. Quarterbacks: No. Josh McCown should not come back. Something about him screams “Chad Hutchinson” and I do not want to see that. This once again goes back to the ineptitude of Jerry Angelo. Angelo drafted Dan LeFeveour last year and ended up cutting him after the preseason. Then this year, Nathan Enderle is drafted and it seems like they don’t like him either. This has become PATHETIC. Get a quarterback in here next season that has had at least SOME success and is capable of being quarterback.

5. Linebackers: Reality is setting in. Urlacher has only a few years left in him and who knows how much longer we are going to hear Lance Briggs piss and moan until he gets traded. The Bears must get at least one linebacker in the draft.

6. Safeties/Cornerbacks: You all saw this coming. Yes. The Bears need a new set of safeties and at least one cornerback. Surprisingly, Charles Tillman (worthless) wasn’t that bad this year. For the most part, he actually learned how to cover a receiver. Tim Jennings on the other hand is fucking terrible. Zack Bowman has no business even being a ball boy in the NFL. There were at least three or four plays in the games against the Seahawks and Packers in which he didn’t even bother to go after a receiver and was beat terribly.

With the safeties, Chris Conte played very well but was injured late in the season. I am alright with him starting next year. Chris Steltz played fine towards the end and he should be brought back but only in a backup role. I think we can all agree that Major Wright Wrong and Brandon Merriweather are not very good. Speaking of Wrong, fuck this asshole too for being the reason that Brian Urlacher nearly tore his knee up in a meaningless game. Those two idiots along with Tim Jennings and Zack Bowman have no idea how to play defense. A nightmare that I vision is some of these idiots back peddling while a receiver runs right past them and catches the pass for an easy, 4o-yard touchdown. I do not want to hear about this “Cover Two” garbage. The safeties supposedly are suppose to cover the receivers and they still don’t. The Bears need defensive backs who just need to find a receiver/tight end and stay on them instead of assuming that someone else is suppose to the job.

That will be it from me. Feel free to add your thoughts.

I said I was going to have an article on the Bears this week but have been really busy and won’t get to it until next week. I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and here’s to praying that big changes are ahead for the Chicago Bears.

Well, the Bears have officially been eliminated from playoff contention. Josh McCown wasn’t too terrible but the so-called “great defense” that some of the idiots who come to this site argue about sure showed how great they are. Aaron Rodgers did what he “said” he was going to do by kicking the shit out of the Bears. I believe he led the Packers to four consecutive drives for touchdowns. I said in the previous thread that Zack Bowman has no business wearing an NFL uniform. I think most of you guys will agree that it is very embarrassing to be a Bears’ fan right now.

I’ll write my thoughts for the offseason later on in the week. Although if you want an idea of what I am going to say, just go to the archives of this site and read what I wrote the last couple years after the season ended on what the Bears should do when the draft/free agency arrives.

That’s it for the Bears’ talk. Monday night, I’ll be at WWE Raw at the Allstate Arena. I don’t give a damn if it’s scripted (IT’S STILL REAL TO ME DAMNIT!). At least I can go a  wrestling event or watch it on TV and not be pissed off like I am with the Bears or any of my other favorite teams.

As every year goes by, I cannot tell how much more I appreciate the support all of you guys have given this site over the last six or so years. Some of us have been there from the start and lately, we have welcomed some newer folks to the group. Happy holidays to you and your families. Thank you everybody.

Hello Bears fans. Aren’t you all happy to see me again on Sunday night? I will say that after Kyle Orton of all people, defeated us, you can be damn sure that I am pissed off. In fact, I am going to take all my frustrations out on your guys’ favorite football team on Christmas night. Speaking of taking out frustrations, anybody read this story? I wonder what’s wrong with some of the people who cheer for me!

I’ll tell you why I love playing the Bears so much. It’s so easy for me to sit back in the pocket, have a good five-ten seconds to throw and more importantly, find my receivers wide open down the field. I know I am missing a receiver or two because of injury but I tell you what. Coach McCarthy and the rest of the organization are so good at finding players to back them up, that it will still be a can of corn to play the same way. And to play the Bears, man! You realize how easy this will be? Remember the NFC Championship game? I lead my team down the field on the first two possessions thanks to the Bears’ cornerbacks and safeties not covering my receivers. I could have scored at least two more in the first half alone, but I forgot that Brian Urlacher is still on the field and he is pretty good. No worries though Bears’ fans. If nobody is open this Sunday for me to throw to on a particular play, I’ll just “discount double-check” my way to a couple of touchdowns.

So with all that being said, anybody want to guess what the score will be? I’ll go one further and ask if anybody wants to predict what the score will be at halftime? If the Bears’ defense is as favorable to me as it was the last two times I played them, I’ll say 24-0. Don’t get too excited though. I am still very pissed that my team was defeated by the Chiefs on Sunday, that I may want to run up the score just to make a statement. Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings are still your cornerbacks? Who are the safeties again? This should be fun. I can’t wait!

Season’s beatings,

Aaron.

I have to say, from how the Chicago Bulls went out in the playoffs last year, I was actually looking forward to a year off from them. I was exhausted and very pissed. Regardless, it’s back. The Bulls officially signed Richard Hamilton. I think he’s a good addition and can give the Bulls 15 points or so a game. This also means that Keith Bogans Bogus can suck for another team by averaging one point per game in a starting role.

Whatever else is on your mind, feel free to discuss.
