The Bears for the first time all season played nearly a great game against the Vikings and they are now tied with the Packers for first place. This game was still close despite the score. Both teams had missed opportunities. In the end though, the Bears prevailed. Let’s get to it.

Offense: I will admit that I am not a fan of Mike Martz. I don’t think many of us are. However, he does deserve credit in this game. For the second week in a row, he balanced the offense and once again, it paid off. He must have finally realized that this offense isn’t as good as he is use to coaching. So what does he finally do? He calls the plays to the best of the players’ ability. The offensive line was outstanding. I can’t say if this is just smoke and mirrors but it has worked two weeks in a row. This needs to continue.

If you look at the stats (Cue the experts who think they know everything about football), the running game wasn’t spectacular. Forte and Taylor combined had 32 attempts for 102 yards. That averages to slightly over three yards a carry. The fact remains though they ran the ball 38 times total. No matter how many yards they get, balancing the offense goes a long way in trying to win a game. The receivers played their best game as a whole. Knox, Hester, Bennett and Olsen had some great catches with Olsen catching a touchdown pass. And the receivers we haven’t heard from in a long time in Rashied Davis, Kellen Davis (Touchdown catch for him too) and Devin Aromashodu had catches on key plays during the game.

Jay Cutler for the most part had a good game. He scrambled around the line and was only sacked once the whole game. Credit goes to the line and Cutler should get some too. I am not going to let this asshole off the hook though. In the first half, he could have ran nearly to the goal line for a possible touchdown. Instead, he runs past the line of the scrimmage then throws a near interception. Luckily, they still scored a field goal. Then in the second half, he threw a stupid interception in the end zone instead of running the ball or even throwing it away. He could have easily had a couple more interceptions on other plays. Luckily, Martz kept his mistakes to a minimum.

Defense: The first two drives, I thought the defense was in for a long day. The rest of the way, they were as good as they have been for the most part. There was one play however that made me want to throw my remote across the room. Favre threw a wide open Percy Harvin for a touchdown pass. Blown coverage seems to be the norm every now and then for the defense. I think Chris Harris was the one to blame for that. The defense did force four turnovers on defense. I know the grass at Soldier Field (More on this later) helped with everyone slipping all over the place, but the Bears offense played on the same field too. Urlacher and Briggs were once again outstanding. And luckily, Favre did not throw to whoever Charles Tillman (Fuck you) was covering. Not sure if Tillman (Fuck you) was actually covering the receivers and they happened to not be open, or that Favre was just that bad. I’ll take it though. Speaking of Favre, he is a jackass. Seeing his downfall makes me smile more than most. He made my childhood and many others miserable.

Special Teams: Whoever didn’t remind Lovie Smith to take his stupid pills today, thank you for that. We FINALLY saw Devin Hester back on kickoff returns and he nearly took one back on both a kickoff and a punt return. That’s where Hester needs to be. I know he scored a touchdown on offense but they should still focus him on special teams. Hester’s returns proved to be huge with the field position the offense was given. Robbie Gould was also productive making two of three field goals.

Stupid penalties: This is something that could have cost the Bears this game. Here’s a stat for you so called “experts”: The Bears had 11 penalties for 116 yards. This included a stupid penalty of Danieal Manning (Can I put “Fuck you” after his name too?) not knowing when to turn around causing a pass interference penalty. Another stupid penalty was Olin Kruetz having a block below the knees causing the Bears to be pushed further out of field goal range. Frank Omiyale met his quota of having at least one false start penalty per game. Good job Frank!

Soldier Field grass: I have heard this issue being discussed on the radio quite a few times. It is to my understanding that the Chicago Park District is suppose to maintain the field and make repairs if necessary. If they are unwilling to do that because of financial issues, why can’t the Bears open up the checkbook to fix it to make sure players quit slipping all over the place? I know the Bears and whichever team they are playing are on same field but eventually, someone is going to get hurt.

Up next are the Dolphins on Thursday night in Miami. History shows the Bears rarely beat the Dolphins especially in Miami so that needs to change. If they win, they are in the driver’s seat in the division. They lose and they are fighting just to stay alive in the wild card race.

What’s on your mind folks?

The Bears barely won against the now 0-8 Bills in Toronto by the score of 22-19 Sunday afternoon. The Bears had a balanced offense (About damn time.) and they did just enough to win. The offensive line probably played their best game of the season. This was in large part to Roberto Garza coming back. He did a nice job along with J’Marcus Webb on the right side. The defense was just good enough to hang on.

Offense: The offense wasn’t dominating but once again, good enough to win. Cutler was lucky not have a couple of those passes intercepted as he continued to try to throw in double and sometimes triple coverage throughout the game. That has to stop. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to either throw it out of bounds or just take the damn sack. The offensive line as I mentioned earlier played much better. Cutler was able to have some time to throw the ball and even run it.

The rushing game was OK at best. The stats (Cue the idiots) weren’t impressive, but it shows that if you can run the ball anywhere between 20-30 times a game, you have a chance to win. Forte had 14 carries for 49 yards and Taylor had 10 carries for only 13 yards but he did get a touchdown. The receivers had a good game. Earl Bennett scored the game winning touchdown and had four catches. Olsen, Forte and Knox each had three receptions. Balance was the key to winning this game. If three to four players each get a few catches a piece, your chances of winning are better.

Defense: The Bears were playing well on defense until the last drive in the first half. I know they forced three turnovers but the reality remains that the Bills aren’t the greatest team out there and that’s why they attained the win. In my opinion, I think NFL teams now know the recipe on how to score easily on the Bears defense. Simply put, all teams have to do is run a hurry up offense. This is where the Bears look like total shit. The secondary like usual looks clueless but even more in a hurry up situation.

Late in the first half, Charles Tillman (Fuck you) had a late hit which lead to the Bills tying the game. By the way, everytime I say Charles Tillman’s name, I will put in parentheses (Fuck you). Moving on. Tillman (Fuck you) also let Steve Johnson (Who the hell is he?) to have  a Jerry Rice type game with 11 catches and 145 yards. There were also instances in which Tillman (Fuck you) allowed the likes of Roscoe Parrish, Fred Jackson and Lee Evans to get big first downs. There isn’t anything we can do about it though. A cornerback who cannot play cornerback is who he is. I can’t wait for the idiots like Irish Yeti or some other douche to reply “But Tillman had seven tackles and two assisted tackles!” What these douches don’t understand is that he had seven tackles and two assisted tackles because the receivers he was suppose to cover were open all damn day.

The defensive line is playing really well though along with the linebackers. Urlacher and Briggs are playing at a high level. They virtually gave the Bills no running game but this also led to Ryan Fitzpatrick to go “I-Pass” on the secondary. Tommie Harris actually did something productive and was one of the players who caused Fred Jackson to fumble the ball. Julius Peppers seemed to have been hurt towards the end of the game but said he just had the wind knocked out of him so that’s good news.

So here are the Bears at 5-3. I still stand by my word that this season is over. The Vikings are in town next week after a huge come from behind win against the Cardinals. If the Bears can somehow pull this one off, their season MAY be shortly revived. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves though.

Fire away folks.

After a week of trying to calm down on this Bears season, I can’t help but be pissed off due to the numerous missed opportunities this team has had. From the coaches making stupid decisions right down the players doing the same, this season up to now can be described in one word: Frustrating.

I said last week that after seven games, the Bears are finished. I know I am not the only one on that boat because most of you have agreed. Everyone is to blame. Angelo is a dumbass. Smith couldn’t locate his ass with both of his hands. And Mike Martz just isn’t the “genius” some people in the media built him up to be.

Now on to the players: Cutler is a fucking idiot. And even when it’s not his fault, someone else on offense decides to be the idiot for him. Stupid passes turn into interceptions and on other occasions, he takes his time behind an offensive line that couldn’t block anybody to save their lives. The wide receivers (Is that what they are called?) can’t seem to figure out where they are suppose to be on the field when a play is called.

On defense, I won’t be too hard on them. Julius Peppers is earning his cash so far. Urlacher is back healthy and playing at a high level. However, this Bears secondary still makes me want to throw my remote across the room. Charles Tillman is a worthless clown who can’t cover a receiver. Danieal Manning while a good kick returner doesn’t belong on defense. I like Tim Jennings and D.J. Moore but they have only played a handful of games so I am not trusting them quite yet.

So with nine games left, here is the Bears remaining schedule:

At Buffalo – Vs. Vikings – At Dolphins – Vs. Eagles – At Lions – Vs. Patriots – At Vikings – Vs. Jets – At Packers

So with the Bears at 4-3 and tied for the Packers in first place (In the loss column), their remaining schedule gives good reason why their season is all but toast. Buffalo can’t lose every game so there is a good chance they could beat the Bears. This team may be able to steal one away from Minnesota due to Favre’s continuing downfall. They never beat the Dolphins so that’s a loss. The Eagles game is a tossup. The Lions who lost to the Bears in the season opener on a bullshit call will probably redeem themselves. The Patriots will mow the lawn with this team. Once again in week 15, they could get out of Minnesota with a win. No chance in hell they beat the Jets. Likewise at Lambeau for the final game of the season.

After all of that, that brings the Bears to a 6-10,7-9 or 8-8 record at best. This once again goes back to the two games they were suppose to win against Seattle and Washington. If they win those games, they probably go to the playoffs with a 10-6 record.

For anybody who argued that this team was good or want to bring up stats to show me otherwise, save yourself a loss in an argument because you won’t win this one. And just to make it clear: I want to be wrong. All of us on this site want to be wrong. For crying out loud, we want the fucking Bears to win the fucking Super Bowl this fucking season. I just don’t see it happening. Our only prayer is the Bears getting into the playoffs because every other contending team in the NFC becomes mediocre and is close to .500 at season’s end.

According to a person I know who lives in the Green Bay area, Brett Favre has been rumored to have numerous affairs during his time with the Packers. As we all know by now, Brett Favre is a cock-sucking attention whore. So it’s no wonder when he was playing with the Jets in 2008 that he had (Or at least attempted) to have an extra-marital affair with another attention whore by the name of Jenn Sterger. Even though I stated some background on Favre’s personal issues, I could care less what he does. I am only writing this because I am sick and tired of the fucking whore bags who try to get jobs or in this case millions of dollars just by gaining attention for something that isn’t important.

Jenn Sterger in this case is by the far the dumbest fucking bitch of them all. For two years, she didn’t say a damn thing about this whole Favre fiasco. There wasn’t a sexual harassment suit filed nor a story of any sort to come out until a few weeks ago. According to reports, when Sterger received the dick pics from Favre, she laughed it off and moved on. That was totally fine by my book.

But now after all of this time has passed, she has all of a sudden came out with the voicemails and pictures for what reason? You guessed it. To gain attention and make millions of dollars off of it. You would figure like Sarah Spain, that she obviously didn’t work hard enough in college and in interviews after school to get a decent job and live a normal life.  Well there may be several reasons why she didn’t get a full time gig doing something. Maybe like Sarah Spain wasn’t as talented as some.

So what does Jenn Sterger do a few years ago to gain attention? She gets fake tits. I for one have no respect for any woman who gets fake tits. At least Spain had the self-respect to not do that. Then Sterger proves that she is just flat out ditzy by saying in an interview that she didn’t do it for self-esteem issues, she did it because she wanted to. Oh I believe her now.

So ladies and gentleman, I will leave you with this prediction and you heard it from me first:  She will probably be millions of dollars richer after this whole thing finishes up. Sooner rather than later, ESPN 1000 will offer her a job as an update anchor leaving many people who are more qualified for the job to be back on the search in this shitty economy. Fucking whore.

I told everybody on this site last Sunday that the Bears would lose this game. I was right. I said after this game, to stick a fork in this PATHETIC excuse for a team. The Redskins tried to give the game away numerous times and the Bears said “No thanks”.

I am not going to write a recap because it’s not worth my time. Fuck Cutler and his stupid decisions. Fuck Lovie and Martz on their stupid play calling. Fuck Matt Forte for his stupid fumbles.

This season is over. They aren’t winning the division. They aren’t going to the playoffs. Anybody want to argue? Come on idiots. Where are you dumb fucks at?

That’s what I thought.

FUCK THIS DAMN TEAM.

Fire away.

Before I get to the recap, a shout out goes to Carl from Fire Mike Martz for letting me use his parking pass to Sunday’s game. For the rest of you, check out his site. It’s much better written than anything on here.

Seattle sucks. Plain and simple.  But yet, they came out and depantsed the Bears on both sides of the football. The offensive line sucked. The running game couldn’t get going. Instead of the Bears sitting Cutler another game to make sure he was healthy, they threw him out there and he once again looked lost on a lot of plays. Oh and on defense, the Bears once again became the infamous “I-Pass Defense.” Luckily, the Packers lost too so the Bears maintain their one game lead in the division.  Let’s break it down:

Mike Martz: This guy is really showing why other teams didn’t want him. He doesn’t allow Cutler to call audibles nor does he make any adjustments during the game. Instead of shortening the back-drops for Cutler, he continues to make him do seven step back-drops which results in him getting killed. In the Dallas game, they had Cutler do immediate throws which resulted in big plays and touchdowns for the Bears. In the last few games, no changes. Cutler was sacked six times and one of them was for a safety. That needs to change. The offensive line fucking sucks and it’s not going to get better. So it’s time to adjust to the shitty line. It can be done.

And for all those fucking idiots who want to bring up stats, here’s one for you clowns: The Bears were 0-12 on 3rd downs.  That’s PATHETIC.

Defense: Well it took six games but the defense returned to it’s old self. As mentioned in the beginning, the “I-Pass defense” made an appearance and didn’t leave. The supposed “bend it but not break” defense as they call it broke and any logical fan saw it coming.

Charles Tillman fucking sucks. You want proof of that? Mike Williams who has been an NFL bust had the game of his life with (Cue the idiots) 10 catches for 123 yards. And who was he being defended by nearly the whole game? Tillman. Oh and Tillman also did a nice job trying to cover Deon Butler (Who?) on a 22 yard touchdown play. What a piece of shit. Angelo needs to find a cornerback in next year’s draft who can actually play defense on a wide receiver instead of one who’s only capable of causing fumbles once in a great while.

The front four of the defense wasn’t very good either. They did cause some pressure on Hasselbeck but for the most part, he had all day to throw. The defense as a whole played like shit. Even if Briggs was able to play, it probably wouldn’t have mattered. They gave up over 100 yards rushing and nearly 250 yards passing. It doesn’t sound like much but it was enough to beat this team.

Stupid penalties: Once again, the Bears prove they are the center of the universe when it comes to this. On a kickoff return in the second half, Danieal Manning takes back a touchdown yet to have it called back on a holding penalty by the returning Rod Wilson. There was a reason why this guy wasn’t picked up by another team. Apparently, the Bears also love picking up other team’s trash and thinking they will do better on their team. Oh and can someone explain to me why a holding or illegal block in the back always seemed to be called? How fucking hard is it to just block somebody and not push them from behind or grab them and throw them to the ground? Oh that’s right. These are the Bears we are talking about.

Next week, the Bears face another average team in the Redskins. Go ahead and print it now. The Bears will lose. I don’t think they have beaten them since the early 90’s. I don’t think that’s a joke either. They seriously haven’t beaten them in the last 10 or 15 years. I don’t see it changing next Sunday either. 4-3 here we come.

Let it all out.
