Towel Time

The Bears were uninspired, pathetic, and ill prepared.  First and foremost the Green Bay Packers are not the second coming with regards to the NFL.  They are a team that does on the field what they practice.  They are humans.  The Bears are equally as human as they, call it not being passionate, call it not preparing, or not doing your homework, this team is awful.  There is NO excuse for a professional football team to EVER get trounced like they did sunday night, and CERTAINLY not 2 weeks in a row.  That is a group of guys that don't care.  Even the pathetic Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the 90's didn't get the silver platter the way the Bears have over the past 2 years.  And I can say without a doubt that this is some of the most pathetic football I have ever seen the Chicago "professional football" Bears  play in my lifetime.  And we had some bad years in the 90's.  That being said they are still people, working a job, albeit the job is in the national spotlight (nothing more true the getting pummeled on SNF) but people nonetheless that are NOT doing their job, a lot of the time.  If I failed to do my job to the magnitude of this crappy squad I would have been fired by now.  It is sad to say (especially with the promise this team held in the offseason, and on paper, and apparently "self proclaimed" on the practice field), but it looks like dismantle time, cut our losses, make room for a good draft pick, get a few people in top spots that care with conviction, and start over.  I knew we  haven't been very good against our Nemesis packers lately, but I hadn't realized that Jay has only ever won ONE game out of a possible 12 over the course of his career.  Time to move on.

Believe in Monsters!

Chicago Bears tag line this year is "Believe in Monsters," as a life ling Bears fan, (and having to deal with the angst of being a life long Cubs fan) I am going to go ahead and believe in my Midway Monsters... They have the recipe for complete success, and they arguably had it last year until our pilot went down midway through the year.  This off season they only strengthened their case for NFC North Domination.  Aaron Rogers will be Aaron Rogers, but it will be quite difficult for him to bring the Packers offense to the level they were enjoying last year, and Detroit enjoyed a fluke of a run last year with an offense that has as many problems as it has weapons.  And Minnesota might go 0-16.  That being said it will not be a cake walk to the NFC North crown, and the Bears will have to stay healthy and buy in to the process that has been laid out for them.  The addition of Brandon Marshall gives the Bears the #1 receiver that they have coveted since I have been alive.  Brian Urlacher vows that he will play on Sunday, and be a force in the middle as always.  Matt Forte has his long term deal and should be playing calm and collected.  If our offensive line can keep Cutler upright, this promises to be a very exciting if not explosive season.  Look for it to come down to the wire and circle December 16th versus the Packers and December 30th's season finale against the Lions on your calendar, and expect them to hold some weight in this race.  BEAR DOWN!!!
