Comment on Pack Win Super Bowl, Don’t Blame Cutler by Matt in Denver, CO

Matt in Denver, CO — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 05:18:56 +0000

I was one of the many fans in our country who was all over Cutler’s case after the loss to the Packers. I was not as upset over the fact that we lost the game, but how we lost the game. I have been an anti Lovie Smith Bears fan since his first year in Chicago. The media continues to talk and write about the lack of emotion that Cutler shows in public. Sure, we want emotion out of our star quarterback, but even more so we need emotion out of our head coach. Lovie shows less emotion than Cutler, and is supposedly the man who is running the show. Although by watching him during the game you certainly would not know that.

One of my complaints about Smith is that he could not get along with Ron Rivera, who had our defense take us to the Super Bowl. What did Rivera get rewarded with, he got fired. If it were not for his stellar defense that year the Bears would have been nowhere near the big game. This brings me to this year’s NFC Championship game versus the Packers. Aaron Rodgers is an amazing quarterback, but when he began picking apart our defense on the first few plays of his first drive, an adjustment had to be made. Lovie and Rod failed to do so and he marched down the field on us twice early in the game.

Here is my other beef with Lovie. We saw Todd Collins look like a peewee quarterback earlier in the year against the Panthers. How bad is he at judging talent that failed to realize that Caleb Hanie is a far better quarterback than Collins. Todd went out and wasted two drives in the third quarter that we got nothing out of. After seeing what Caleb was able to do once he entered the game, I am left to think about what might have been had he been able to have two more possessions in that game. Sure he threw two int’s, but he excelled under a large amount of pressure.

Now, I am not saying the Bears are a better team than the Packers, but I think that game could have had a much different outcome if Lovie made adjustments early, and if he was able to evaluate talent and had Hanie as number 2. I am a die hard Bears fan, but I do think if they won that game they would have been one of the worse offense’s to ever represent in the Super Bowl. I know the Ravens were not great when they won, but our offense is brutal. We have no receivers. We have a very good tight end in Olsen, and Forte excels out of the backfield, but as far as the people who are being paid for catching footballs, we have none.

I am a Huge Bears fan, but I am a real fan who can see through the false hope that a Lovie Smith team presents. I hope that management can see through the bad schedule and realize that the Bears only beat two legit opponents this season. If it were not for a lot of hard times for other teams this year, we would have been .500 or worse and watching Lovie get replaced by a new coach. Please don’t give him an extension!

I have to say the Scott Podsednik signing was easily the best signing GMDM has had yet

He could just be one of those guys that play well for his rookie season, then suck for the rest of his career, i.e. Reggie Bush

Hey the bears are garbage and wont make it the the superbowl for many years to come LOL. They need to have a dominant defense to make it back which they wont have fort a long and I mean LONG time. There offensive has never been anythin spectacular so you can blame Matt Forte for how bad hes doing when his line can’t block for him.

Comment on Buehrle tosses perfect game with Wise assist by ehalvorsen1

Congratulations to Buehrle and the White Sox for an amazing game. For years Buehrle has proven time and time again he is one of the leagues best and most efficient pitchers, yet doesn’t get mentioned as often as guys like Halladay, Sabathia, etc. It looks like the Sox are turning it on at the right time, and should be challenging for the division title come September.
