Here's some short venting for you...
Jerry Analblow fucking sucks! Yes Barber completely blew it today and last week. Hanie sucks balls and the offensive line is offensive. Can't even use injuries to your pro bowl Qb and star RB as an excuse because last week we lost to backup Qb/RB duo and today a 5th round rookie, TJ Yates took the Texans 80 yards to win the game. Two 80+ yard drives in the 4th qtr. They've lost one of the premier pass rushers in the game. Arguably the best WR in the game. Foster earlier in the year, backup Qb, etc.
Why aren't they losing in embarrassing fashion? Because their offense and defense aren't relied on one player like ours is(Cutler and Peppers).
How do the Vikings put up more points with Toby Gerhart and Webb/Ponder than we can with our guys?
It's time to point the finger at the man in charge who's constant blown draft picks and poor free agency moves finally caught up to us. How many more good years does this d have left in them? Our 4 best defenders are going to need replacing within the next couple years. Where's the future on d? I don't see anything special from anyone outside of our nickleback. I'm sorry but I'm not willing to bet on Henry Melton being our pass rush specialist without Peppers in there.
So with the rebuilding on D, how do you improve the major flaws on offense? OL, WR and most likely TE when the new OC comes in. Where's all of this going to come from? How do the Bears ever win another division title with Rodgers in GB when Jerry Angelo has yet to draft a pro bowl player on offense? As you've seen the past few weeks, defense only gets you so far. Considering the field position the Bears have had over the years under Toub, why haven't our offenses ever been able to put up a lot of points consistently? Ppl will talk about scoring 30ppg during the winstreak but did anyone really look at the offense vs SD and DET? Completely mediocre outside of Cutler and Bennett.
Bear brothers, join me. I've been singing the praises of AJ Smith for a while. Join me, get on the hire AJ Smith bandwagon. I dare anyone to debate Jerry Analblow vs AJ Smith.

Knox to have back surgery
By: Larry Mayer | Last Updated: 12/18/2011 7:47 PM
CHICAGO – Bears receiver Johnny Knox is slated to undergo surgery Monday to stabilize a vertebra in his mid-to-lower back after getting injured in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.
The prognosis for Knox's career and quality of life is positive.
On the Bears' second possession, Knox caught a Caleb Hanie pass over the middle. After safety Kam Chancellor stripped the ball, Knox turned back toward the line of scrimmage to try to retrieve it and was drilled by defensive end Anthony Hargrove.
Knox's body bent back awkwardly, and he remained down on the field for nearly 10 minutes before being removed on a backboard and taken to the hospital. As he was being wheeled off, he raised his right fist.
After the game, coach Lovie Smith said: "Johnny has total movement throughout his body, has total use of all his extremities, which is good. We're doing tests right now, but he has total movement. He is not paralyzed or anything like that."
Still alive: Though their chances appear minimal at best, the Bears (7-7) can still earn a wildcard berth with wins over the Packers and Vikings as long as either the Lions (9-5) or Falcons (9-5) lose their final two games and the Seahawks (7-7) drop one of their final two contests.
Detroit hosts the Chargers and visits the Packers, the Falcons visit the Saints and host the Buccaneers, and the Seahawks host the 49ers and visit the Cardinals.
We haven’t been eliminated from anything right now and our focus has to be improving and putting a better product on the football field next weekend than we did [Sunday],” Smith said.
Big play: The Bears scored their fourth defensive touchdown of the season Sunday as Julius Peppers stripped the ball from quarterback Tarvaris Jackson in the end zone, and Israel Idonije recovered for his first NFL TD.
With 10 sacks, Peppers has now reached double digits for the seventh time in 10 NFL seasons. His 10 sacks are the most by a Bears player since Mark Anderson had 12 as a rookie in 2006.
Aches and pains: Free safety Chris Conte exited in the second quarter with a foot injury and was replaced by Brandon Meriweather. Craig Steltz was already starting for the injured Major Wright (shoulder) at strong safety.
Numbers game: Bears running back Kahlil Bell rushed for 65 yards on 15 carries and caught five passes for 43 yards, scoring his first NFL touchdown on a 25-yard reception from Hanie. ... For the Seahawks, Jackson completed 19 of 31 passes for 227 yards with one touchdown and a 94.4 passer rating, while Marshawn Lynch rushed for 42 yards and 2 TDs on 20 carries.

so lots of news over the past couple days.
First, they fire GM Jerry Angelo, which I think should have happened a long time ago. While this guy has a great sense of getting defensive players, he fucking sucks offensively. He got no one in the past 10 years really besides forte in the draft. cutler was kinda random lucky event that unfolded. The guy constantly neglects the offense and always drafts DB's (drafting bad safeties 8 years in a row!). Good riddance.
Next they fire Mike Martz, which also makes sense. While it's not his fault cutler, forte got injured, he was terrible in the first few games and the last 5 games they lost. Hanie comes in and he has the guy throw 40 times or whatever in his first game (when forte was healthy!). and a ton of other head scratching decisions.
What is surprising is this:
Breaking: Chicago Bears Name Mike Tice Offensive Coordinator for 2012 Season
http://www.windycitygridiron.com/20...name-mike-tice-offensive-coordinator-for-2012
which makes a bit of sense he likes to run the ball a lot and that fits lovie smiths philosophy but we'll have to see how it plays out. I figure bears have 1 season with the new GM, if they don't have a good 2012 season, I wouldn't doubt if everyone is gone from tice to lovie.
