TOTW - Week 12

What happened last weekend? Did the Bears even want to play? Did Urlacher want to get his pretty white uniform dirty? Did Maynard not know how to kick the ball? Did the Bears Defense know that they were playing Defense? Did Orton want to throw the ball downfield? Did the receivers want to catch the ball? HELL NO!!!!!!

I am in the city during the week and all I hear is how the Packers need this game more than the Bears, Well you know what those early loses finally caught up to the Bears.

Come On!

Lovie quit being a tight little teenager and open up the “D”. Lets get some pressure on the quarterback. Lets not give him a minute to sit back and pick us apart and make the defense look like swiss cheese. Hey Ron Turner, “RUN THE BALL”, Green Bay Defense last week gives up over 150 to Adrian Peterson and we run the ball 18 times, yep that’s right 18 times. I drank more beers than we rushed the ball.

Come On! Next week if we don’t beat the Rams by 14 plus we are in a world of hurt moving on…….Breathe……….Breasts…ahhhhhhhhhh!

Six weeks to go...GUTCHECK TIME

The Bears deserved a good beating. Not only did they deserve a beating, it's amazing that they've avoided a beating like this season. I guess it was because the offense was scoring. Compound Orton's injury with an aging and cement-footed defense, it didn't matter who we were playing on the road in week 11, we were going to get trounced.  A 37-3 loss to the Packers hurts a lot, but let's face it the defense has nothing left.

After going toe-to-toe with Tennessee for 60 minutes and losing a home game, we should've pooled funds and bet the Pack and cashed in for a relaxing Sunday. Instead we got steamrolled by cheese.

So there's a lot to be worried about with six games left. If the Bears could with 4 of 6 then a 9-7 record may win the NFC North. It starts with a win over St. Louis.  Then a rematch with Minnesota on the carpet. That's also a must-win. Then a 3-game home stretch minus any cupcakes. 

I can see a lot happening. 7-9 looks likely with the way they played Sunday. Remind me why Urlacher is going to find the missing step and why he gets blocked every play. Also why no pass rush. No sacks, no hits on the qb, when is the last time we hurried a qb. Alex Brown, Dvoracek, Ogunleye, Harris, Idonije, Mark Anderson....do these guys even exist. I saw Mike Brown giving max effort and I saw Kevin Payne doing some things. But they only make plays because the other team is already 7 yards up field before they are touched or the Bears are chasing down a wide open receiver. 

Lovie's future

And I've been off the Lovie wagon for some time. But this loser has no answers. He has no plan. He stuck thinking this team can find lightning in a bottle based on something they did 2 years ago.  The leaks started in the Super Bowl (and remember the Tampa game 2 years ago) and continued last season with that nightmare.  I don't know what the answer is. I guess we grin and bear it. 

Regardless, you kids are on your own. I'm headed to the Caribbean for a few days. I'll miss the Rams game and when I get back we better be 6-5 for Christ's sake.

Sunday's showing

I'd like to say kudos to all you crazy kids for coming out. That was an impressive showing of Bears fans. Bw-3 Castleton is a Bears bar. I beg you all to keep the faith and regardless show up for Sunday boozing. We started this thing kinda half-ass in 2002 and now we are blowing up!! 

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

A new weekly feature on ComingRightAtYa.com -- our boy Manimal inspires us with a thought that will get you through the work week and get you ready for Sunday madness.

Week 11 thought:

I was thinking about Joe and how bad he feels for getting in a bar fight at 30. Well, let me tell you something. What about being 30 and looking at your computer screen all day, two days after you drank way too much? Hitting buttons on a computer like a monkey, not comprehending, and looking at stuff you shouldn’t be looking at work. Your boss comes in to talk and you look at him, can’t recognize him, and can’t even muster up a story of why you feel bad. You just look at him say I am a loser with jeans on that you wore on Sunday that has mustard and ketchup stains. I am melancholy due to the fact that even in the evening that night I still was apologizing about not being right. Even today being Wednesday my body especially my A$$ is still trying to recovery from whatever the hell happened to me this weekend. So Joe don’t feel bad because you won the fight and got prize money feel bad for me……….and my Bears because we have a long road ahead of us to make a run for the division and playoffs. And, one more thing don’t ever tailgate next to people drinking Hennessy!

Godspeed,
Manimal
