The Bears' Season, Thus Far

I must admit, I just love football. I love the coolness of the fall weather, the smell in the air, and I love watching football. Jen and I are both football fans (I think this marriage will work well), and we love the orange and the blue. Pontiac, the high school I am employed with is orange and blue. Jen is an Illinois graduate, and we are season football ticket holders. My first and foremost football love is the Chicago Bears yet another orange and blue.

That said, I am discouraged by the lack of discipline in the Bears organization. The lack of attention on the offensive line, as well as the lack of concern about the safety position, both of which I have railed on ceaselessly and complained about for years on this blog and in public, is unheard of by the fans. To go into this season with that porous line and the lack of talent in the safety position is not only an insult to the fan base and other players; but it is a sheer act of treachery and deception. How many times in the last two years have I curse frank Omyale and Craig Steltz? They simply cannot play their respective positions.

I feel for Matt Fort, Jay Cutler, Brian Urlacher, and Charles Tillman. They cannot vocalize their discontent with their team members, but they have to know that the Bears management have not done enough to put them into a position to win a title. They HAVE to know it; because even I figured it out.

The formula for the Bears’ future success is apparent to me. Bye bye Jerry Angelo. It is time for you to catch that fastest train out of town. It is clear that he has no clue how to draft and build a champion team. I also would abandon the cover two. If the Lions figured It out, Hell, any team can. I would let less than lively Lovie Smith join the ranks of Abe Giberon, Jack Pardee and other ex-Chicago bears Coaches. Management needs to be cleaned out from top to bottom. I would consider Troub (special teams coach) to take the helm and star anew. This team has enough talent to be competitive, but blew it as a serious candidate to go for the Super Bowl the day they signed Roy Williams.

Let’s look at some other bonehead moves. Chester Taylor—one year and 4 million dollars later—gone. Need I mention the Benson matter? How about letting Barrian go? What about signing Spencer and finding out he cannot play center? How about the fine signing of Williams, who came injured and later showed he is just inept? What about the mind games they have played with an up and coming wide receiver like Johnny Knox, only to make him doubt his own abilities. How about not signing Matt Forte to a contract extension? I mean, he’s only the most productive player on the team and he makes up 60% of the offense.

There are many more questions the Bears need to answer, and rather than waiting for a response and wading through the muck of an answer, I would rather start fresh and rebuild the management and coaching staff.
