Forum MVP arm Posted November 12, 2007 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 The Bears demonstrated that they don't suck as much as the Raiders, but it was very, very close. I felt like I was cheering for the few life boats that cleared the Titantic. Having Sexy Rexy back to complicate our relationship makes matters even worse.

Smooth Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I knew Rex would be back. He's got a better arm anyway. Smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantheMan Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I knew Rex would be back. He's got a better arm anyway.Smooth I too had a feeling we'd see Rex back out on the field again... possibly because Griese stunk it up (which he kinda did) or because of injury, which seemed almost inevitible -- the guy has yet to play a full season once in his career. now don't get me wrong - I'm glad they won the game, and glad Rexy tossed that TD pass -- but seriously, you look at the rest of the game, and he was pretty much just as ineffective as Brian was for that whole game. take out that TD pass, and his numbers look pretty lame. I'm not convinced that he's going to be able to lead the team anywhere if he is given a shot as the starter again. but hell, there's too many things wrong with this offense to just pick on Rex or Brian. you can't really put the blame on either one until the team can field a legitimate offensive line and a legitimate running game.

Forum MVP arm Posted December 17, 2007 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I hate that feeling when your team sucks. I wait all year for the NFL to rev it up again, but when it sinks in as early as week three that you're boys, whoever they are, are going to have a hopeless year....well, that really casts a pall over the whole thing. I'm like the Grinch muttering about the Patriots, that the NFL is fixed, that everything is horrible - - but I'm just mourning the damn Bears. At least that's what my therapist says and he's good. He's convinced me to stop putting my fist through the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Dstone5553 Posted December 18, 2007 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 We need a new QB, a new offensive line, a new running back and a new Off Coordinator--then we'll be ok...I know that growing up watching Buddy Ryan's 46 and THAT defense (which was the best of all time when Ryan was heading it), it hasn't been fun watching the cover 2 and Lovie Smith's style of coaching and influence on the D...despite going to the super bowl last year (knowing your team had no chance in that game but being proud that they over achieved nonetheless) and despite the fact that our defense is not our problem. I know I would like to see Smith go and the whole thing blown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I would like to see Smith go and the whole thing blown up. so basically, we can replace every single player on the offensive side of the ball -- cut them all off the roster completely and start with all new players -- even if they're rookies and undrafted free agents -- and come out with a more productive offense actually that doesn't sound like a bad idea... the only guys I think worth keeping around are: Olsen Hester maybe Berrian and Kreutz. everyone else can go. seriously. pick up guys off the street, and you'll have an upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP arm Posted December 19, 2007 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Over in the "politics" forum, everyone says war is not the answer. Here, in "sports", Ortman is not the answer. On offense, I'd keep Tait (though aging rapidly) and Mark Bradley, too. I have this feeling that Bradley can be a very good NFL receiver and don't want him ending up elsewhere (a la Bobby Wade) having a nice career. Call me crazy, but I think Grossman still has some upside. Jesus, I may live to regret saying that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me crazy, but I think Grossman still has some upside. Jesus, I may live to regret saying that.... 'upside' and 'he's just the best QB currently on the roster' are not exactly the same thing... after seeing all three this year -- Grossman has been better than the other two - as well as better than Krenzel, Hutchinsen, Quinn, Stewart, etc. but honestly, that aint saying much at all. I can see giving Mark Bradley some more oppourtunity -- every Bears fan I know seems to think he should be a number 1 receiver -- mostly based on that one half he had against Detroit his rookie year - right up until the point he hurt his knee.... and yet he's only managed to get what? 4 or 5 catches the whole year? call me crazy, but if he was that good - wouldn't the coaches see this and try to get him the ball a little more often? I'd love to see him turn into something, but I'm not holding my breath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fennario Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I know that growing up watching Buddy Ryan's 46 and THAT defense (which was the best of all time when Ryan was heading it. As an Eagles fan, I LOVED Buddy!! He built a juggernaut defense here in Philly (Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Seth Joiner, Wes Hopkins, Andre Waters, etc.) Too bad he didn't know much about offense. His offensive philosophy was essentially to give Randall Cunningham the ball and let him make something happen. And then there was that F*#@ING fog bowl.

Forum MVP arm Posted December 29, 2007 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Well, the Bears had their Super Bowl this year in two installments. Bears 2 - Packers 0. That's our silver lining. It's all we have. For Bear fans, it's almost all we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Dstone5553 Posted January 7, 2008 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 a sweep of the packers is always a sweep of the packers.bears will be back in 08. We'll need a running game, a passing game and a healthy defense with Briggs returning. Not sure how we are going to get a running game with the offensive line we have and the feature RB we have and not sure how we're going to get a passing game with the offensive line we have and the QB we have. But one of my favorite super groups of all time is Blind Faith so who knows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
