Sorry, Bears, I’m out of sympathy at this point.
If you were looking for a fluff piece on how you guys should be 5-1 or 4-2 instead of the regularly scheduled 3-3, you’ve come to the wrong place.
You’re here, mired in muck, atop the lamest division in football for a couple of reasons.
The defensive line can’t get to the quarterback. You didn’t get to rookie Matt Ryan once. Despicable.
Your corners stink. Nathan Vasher and Charles Tillman may be hurt, but come on; you let schleps beat you on Atlanta’s final play. I’m sorry, this defense was supposed to be your strength?
Um, our coaches are in fact legally brain-dead. I’m not really sure what anyone sees in Bob Babich. Ron Turner still gets brain cramps, and I don’t know whose call it was to squib kick to Atlanta, but it was lame.
The offensive line stinks too. Sure, Matt Forte is good, but his holes seem to be getting smaller and smaller. You can’t drive a truck through ’em, not even sure you can drive a Prius through them.
Kyle Orton, you can play. It would have been nice to have a great receiver like, oh, I don’t know, Bernard Berrian, but we accidentally lost him to the Vikings due to … well … nobody knows the reason.
So do me a favor, Jerry Angelo, when you draft this year, remember you need offensive players too. Start with about three offensive linemen. Yes, you need a speedy receiver. Oddly, you don’t need a starting QB at the moment. We’re entering very strange territory here.
Hey I’m a little sick of hearing how great the Blackhawks are now that they are finally back in the city’s consciousness. If they want to stay there, I suggest they win more than one game. Keep playing like this, and I’m going to have to ask that the games not be televised.
Maybe the Bulls shouldn’t be televised, either. If coach wants to experiment with lineups, try it in practice. As for the games, let’s see some Derrick Rose.
Why not? He’s only your best player.
