2009-10 Bears Season: Utler, 'Uther 'Uckers

[EVILteddie]

Does anybody really think Lovie Smith is going to be fired? Not going to happen now, or after the season. Ron Turner maybe, but I doubt that will even happen.

I loved listening to the Allen/Favre dick sucking all freakin game.

Hub Arkush via WSCR reporting that the Bears have expressed informal interest to John Gruden, Mike Shanahan and Bill Cowher.

Listened to Arkush and Hampton prior to the game.  First of all, I think Hamp may be borderline retarded. 

Second, Arkush clarified this report.  According to Hub, the Bears have specifically looked into Bill Cowher as a possible replacement, and nobody else.

[Gil Gunderson]

Only once before have I seen a sure Hall-of-Fame player enjoy a renaissance late in his career in which he put up statistics better than what he did in his heyday like Favre has since the guy in San Francisco about 8 years ago.

I so upset about the game that this kind of sentence doesn't faze me.

I also upset.  But I upset about a different game.

I angry.

Look at it this way.  The Bears will be giving the Broncos a very high first round draft pick next spring.

Actually, I don't prefer to look at it that way either.  Fuck this shit.

Teh Hossa is really good.

Cowher has said he's "very interested" in the Bears job.  I'm willing to drive one of the dump trucks of money myself.

Also, Cowher opens up the possibility of Cowher Hours.  Them's good times.

[Dr. Nguyen Van Falk]

If Cowher gets hired by the Bears, Brenly's joke-writer wins and we all lose.

I hear Frontbutt will be available to run the offense.

After watching the first half of the Vikings game and seeing how much this team has regressed, I don't see how Lovie and the rest of this staff keeps their jobs. Granted this team has plenty of holes in it, but they are poorly coached.

I loved listening to the Allen/Favre dick sucking all freakin game.

As much as it pains my anus to say it, those pudmongers deserve all the beejes being sent their way. They're really good.

As far as Cowher goes, isn't his success due more to the Steelers ability to consistently draft really good players, than to his awesome coachiness?

I think he'd be an improvement over Lovie, but in my football world, letting Angelo keep his job and hiring Cowher wouldn't give me a very firm boner.

There is nothing borderline about Dan Hampton's retardation.

I'd like to see Cowher and Joel Quenneville in a stache-off.

Agreed. Cowher would improve the situation somewhat, but Angelo really needs to go. Granted, alot of the shitty personnel/coaching decisions this team has made were taken on Lovie's insistence (firing Rivera, deciding "his guy" Archuletta deserved to play over Chris Harris, deciding Bob Babich was worth the danish it takes to feed him), but Angelo needs to have more of a backbone than that. His specialty is supposed to be player evaluation. Coaches naturally favor veterans, GMs need to be able to man up to the coach and ensure roster turnover and keep the team fresh and young even when the coach's loyalty to those players makes it difficult.

Edited to note: Also, during most of Cowher's tenure in Pittsburgh there was no GM. There was a Director of Football Operations, and then there was Cowher, and they typically fought over personnel control. Nevertheless he had a great deal of input.

I am trying to be charitable this holiday season.

Brian Urlacher, pining for Kyle Orton.

"Look, I love Jay, and I understand he's a great player who can take us a long way, and I still have faith in him," Urlacher said. "But I hate the way our identity has changed. We used to establish the run and wear teams down and try not to make mistakes, and we'd rely on our defense to keep us in the game and make big plays to put us in position to win. Kyle Orton might not be the flashiest quarterback, but the guy is a winner, and that formula worked for us. I hate to say it, but that's the truth."
