Bears Unveil New-Look-Like-Shit Offense
July 31, 2008 | | Onion Sports
BOURBONNAIS, IL—The Chicago Bears put on a display of inaccurate passing, sluggish route running, and careless ball-handling Wednesday as the team exhibited their new-look-like-shit offense to fans and media attending training camp to view a full-squad practice. "We finally have the personnel to implement a game plan of high-percentage incomplete passes, completed passes of four yards or less, and a rushing attack that lets us lose control of the game clock with complex plays that take forever to develop and generate negative yardage," offensive coordinator Ron Turner said, explaining why the Bears abandoned the "West-Coast-My-Fat-Ass" offense they ran last year. "I'm confident that both Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton possess the ability to overthrow a receiver on a deep fly pattern or find an open defender and deliver the ball with laser-like precision, so we'll be switching between them often and at random intervals to avoid either one getting into a rhythm or developing any confidence." According to Turner, the offense is starting to malfunction as a cohesive unit and has shown much more consistency at blowing assignments, missing blocks, and fumbling snaps.

#6 traveling bears fan said . . .I was hoping farve would stay on the packers this year because that would probably mean brohm would be starting next year. Rogers would be on a different team and farve would finally retire for good, until he changes his mind.

#7 Decatur Staleys #7 said . . .the onion is the only place to get it right, I like the part of the overly complex slow to develop plays, they needed to rip RT a little more for accuracy of course.
August 7, 2008
#8 Decatur Staleys #7 said . . .Amen,No to Chad Pennington or
Cel-lemons,or Simms or any other 3rd string to be QB for this team.If their not competing to be the starter we don't need them.
An The Onion was just a lil to modest in explain Ron Turner "West-Coast-My-Fat-Ass" offense

#9 Max said . . .I would laugh my ass off if he would refuse to go an play with the Jets.
An Rodgers I hope you like the sound of "BOO"
because that about what your going to hear this season.August 7, 2008
#10 Z said . . .Now I have a legit excuse to hate the Jets. . .
August 7, 2008
#11 Z said . . .Hilarious. I had friends from Wisconsin texting me about how their boy is back in camp and believing that there was no way The Pack would not end up with Favre as their starting QB again this year.
I am waiting to respond until after Favre doesn't say anything about not reporting to the Jets but tomorrow will be a fun day full of texting Packer friends about their dumb ass organization. They were a frozen INT away form the SB last season and run their Hall of Fame QB out of town for who knows what in Rodgers.
Thank goodness he did not end up in Minny. Scary. This is great news.
August 7, 2008
#12 Decatur Staleys #7 said . . .And my friends here in Tampa are crushed. I was hoping we might end up with another QB out of this deal but I agree no Pennington or Lemons. Give Rex his last full opportunity this season. If he sucks we need to draft our way into a QB or maybe trade for Quinn during the year if Cleveland is in it and needs something we have an abundunce of.
As already stated what we need desperately is O-LINE and we need it now. Overpay a little for Bentley, send a limo or jet or helicopter to pick up Ruben Brown and apologize to him. We need any kind of depth. Metcalf who most of us on here are terrified of having in our starting line up is out with a little scope of the knee. Not good.

Well today we get to BEAR witness to the 08 Bears!!
August 7, 2008
#14 big rob said . . .YES!!! There is a God! And he did not allow Favre to play for Da Bears. More importantly, now the weak ones on here can finally take their heads out of their collective asses and stop pining for this asshole to lead our team!
Honestly though, I think Favre is screwed. There are no open wheatfields in Jersey for him to frolic with his golden retrievers and toss the pigskin around with his boys there. I don't even think they sell Wranglers in Jersey.
Also, I like Chad somewhat as a QB with a limited arm, but I don't think I like him on this Bears team. He should find a home somewhere else.

#15 Pissed Off said . . .does anyone know if they are going to be showing this game on any stations other than chicago ones? DirecTv? anywhere???? I have to watch this one!!
August 7, 2008
#16 Pissed Off said . . .I bet you're all glad you wasted your breath on the last thread about getting Garcia.
We wont get Pennington. Just like we didnt get Favre and we wont get Garcia. Pennington will probably be a Viking by the end of the day.
August 7, 2008
#17 Tenacious D said . . .Also loving how all the occassional bloggers roll out after the Favre news after not posting here for months, glad to see you all back, now stay put and keep blogging, the season is upon us!
August 7, 2008
#18 Tenacious D said . . .bigrob, The game is being shown on NFL Network on tape delay at 11:00 PM CST this evening, and at 3:30 PM CST on Friday.

#19 Al In WI said . . .Jeff, agree with "NO" to Pennington. Kyle has a cannon compared to this guy....
August 7, 2008
#20 big rob said . . .Agreed on not getting Pennington for the same reasons I didn't want Garcia. They both have weak arms and aren't long term answers.
I think we need to roll with the qb's we have and focus on making a blockbuster move for a o-lineman. I'm rather concerned about this.
FYI to those in the Twin Cities region, Alary's in play tonight!! Can't wait.August 7, 2008
#21 Smitty said . . .thanks TD.....
August 7, 2008
#22 Pissed Off said . . .Who is Brett Favre?
August 7, 2008
#23 jeremy34 said . . .Al, are you an Alary's regular? I will be there on Sat night the 29th of November. I am going to the Bears/Vikes game on the 30th. Hopefully it's meaningful but I've already got tix so no backing down now. I usually go there once or twice a year when I'm in the Twin Cities.
August 7, 2008
#24 jeff said . . .For those wanting to watch the game outside Chicago, is there a station carrying the game. I thought I heard NFL network but i dont think they air it until midnight.

#25 Luke said . . .jeremy is dead right. the bears are the first game the network is airing, midnight tonight. for those of us in the nyc, that does us zero good. last year the radio broadcasts were free, this year they're not. so be it.

#26 mikebdot said . . .Hey, maybe he'll beat the Patriots twice a year for a couple years. That would be nice. no to pennington. no to culpepper.

#33 Z said . . .Slightly off topic:
I just got really pissed when I read a post on the bears home page. Someone asked Mayer about Okwo's performance so far in camp. Larry said he looks like a long shot to make the team.
How awful were those 2007 middle-round picks by Angelo?! Bazuin, Okwo and Wolfe- are you kidding me?
Angelo has certainly hit on some middle and late round picks, but overall, I think his drafting is keeping this franchise below where it could be.
I am so down on this team right now....Bah Humbug!
August 7, 2008
#34 Pissed Off said . . .What about that depressed Guard from Philadelphia that hasn't been to camp yet. We could get him some treatment, anti-depressants, maybe change of scenery, money, women, men, whatever he needs. Wow am I concerned about our line situation or what.
August 7, 2008
#35 jeff said . . .Hey Al, as it gets closer I'll remind you, maybe we can get together for a bit at Alary's and I can buy you a woodpecker cider (or your beverage of choice, thats just mine at Alary's since I cant find it anywhere in ND and I crave it constantly). Anyway have fun there, always good scenery if nothing else. Cant wait for tonight, kinda past my bedtime but maybe I'll suck it up, I'll probably just DVR it and watch it in an hour tomorrow.
August 7, 2008
#36 jeremy34 said . . .okwo's a long shot to make the team because of jerry's other great mid-round picks - don't forget that. we were drafting coming off a super bowl.
August 7, 2008
#37 Luke said . . .Really depressed I won't be able to watch the game...I even brought my Hester jersey to work. Thinking about driving back to Illinois. Lets hope Forte has two runs, both of which he takes to the house, then they rest him.

#38 jeremy34 said . . .I wonder what the Madden Curse has in store for Mr. Favre now.
August 7, 2008
#39 jeremy34 said . . .Doesn't anybody got any good Bears pre season stories? I got two that I like....one...remember the time Joe Odom came running like a bat out of hell on I think a kickoff and he came flying in and ran right into the opponent with the ball, I think he tackled him, but it wasn't really wrapping the guy up or anything, just ran right into him. He got kind of banged up...but it was too funny I was cracking up. Another story....my brother's boy...Idonije just came in the game...and he's at defensive end. Now you know most defensive ends put their hand that is not on the turf back behind them, well Idonije has his hand so damn far up in the air (like straight up) that it just looked awesome.
Hope that wasn't too weird.

#43 Anytime said . . .I also watched a video where Adam Schefter explained that if the Jets were to trade Brett to Minnesota they would have to give up THREE FIRST ROUND PICKS to the pack!! and if brett takes 80% of the snaps and goes to the superbowl(yeah, right,) they get a first round pick, if he takes i think 70% and makes the playoffs, a second round pick. and if he takes 50% of the snaps a 3rd round pick. Any other scenario will get the pack a fourth round pick

#44 Rex Means King? said . . .I will be at tonights game brandishing the #8 sexy jersey as a show of protest against neckbeard. My distaste for neckbeard is growing everytime I see him.
If any of you have any specific obscenities you would like me to yell at him or anything in particular you would like me to huck at his goofy facemask let me know.August 7, 2008
#45 Pissed Off said . . .What I'm really looking forward to is Favre having to deal with the entitled NY fans and accompanying media when he throws a game-losing INT rather than the Wisconsin "just happy to be here" crowd.
He might cry. Again.
August 7, 2008
#46 Bears99 said . . .I dont hate Kyle Orton, his neckbeard is troubling but, I dont hate the guy. I dont particualrily like him either but whatever. Still, having Anytime shout obscenitites at his dumbass is OK by me. Tell him when he smiles he looks like a smug Joker from Batman who's stoned. I'm sure the guy is a hippie anyway. And do some gesture or yell something that resembles his drunk bird-flipping pictures that leaked out his rookie year. If your going to the game wear that #8 proudly, as I do every Sunday and will be Nov 30th at the metrodome. Get a feel for the fans and let me know what the majority are thinking. Let me know tomorrow just how bad the boos are and if they really hate the guy and want Orton to be the starter or what. The only guage I have is whats written in the papers and surveys I've seen since I'm from afar.

#47 jeff said . . .Tonight, when I'm sitting in section 152, row 6, seat 2, I am going to have to watch guys this team pretty much signed off the street play the O line. Anthony Oakley? Tyler Reed? Protecting the Blind side!? I myself am a left guard, and I know alot of pressure is put on the men guarding the QB's blind side. Is this going to be another ankle breaker for rex when he comes in with the second team line no less? JA needs to get his head out of his ass and pull the trigger already.

HEY GUYS - DUE TO A LOT OF YOU COMING HERE NOW, WE'RE HAVING SERIOUS TECH ISSUES. I'LL TRY AND GET A NEW THREAD STARTED FOR THE GAME TONIGHT, BUT IF I DON'T KEEP THE CONVERSATION COMING.
THIS ESPECIALLY GOES FOR THOSE OF YOU HEADED THERE TONIGHT. STAY ALL FOUR QUARTERS AND GIVE US EVERYTHING.

#49 Decatur Staleys # 7 said . . .Isn't Pennington a poor man's Chad Hutchenson?? I think they may actually be the same person.
I am in the Rexy camp. Neckbeard starting really makes me not want to watch the game. But I will.
