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!!
