Your 2008 Chicago Bears
8:00
Matt Forte to start. Marty Booker active. Brandon Jackson not active for the Pack.
8:11
If you listen to Cris Carter, Keyshawn and Steve Young - and I recommend you never do - the Bears shouldn't show up tonight. They stink.
8:38
Hank Jr. hasn't started yet but I'm already pacing my apartment like a raging psychopath. Kick the fucking thing off already.
8:47
Nice defensive start. Tommie showing up early.
8:51
A worthless third down play call is matched by a brilliant Brad Maynard punt. I'm starting to believe that you can gauge the Chicago Bears by how well Maynard kicks the ball.
8:59
Call me crazy but Danieal Manning has been the MVP of this club over the last couple weeks. Every big play seems to involve 38. The offense needs to move the ball here and put some points on the board.
9:04
Hit the ball out of bounds, for Christ. I'll see you at halftime. I'm getting frustrated.
9:13
DANIEAL FUCKING MANNING!
9:22
Ladies and gents, welcome to the Maynard and Manning show.
9:41
Thank God for Danieal Manning tonight. 7-3. One thought. The run is not there so stop wasting first down.
9:55
This team better wake up at halftime. Down 14-3.
9:57
Tony Kornheiser asks, "Where are the Bears?" The question I'm going to ask tomorrow if this doesn't turn around..."Why is he still our coach?"
10:04 HALFTIME REPORT
Utter shit. Again. From a coaching staff that just doesn't get it. They've got 30 minutes. And in those 30 minutes we'll learn everything we need to learn about this team. Two possessions is all they're down when they should be down 50 points. Come out after the half and make it a game. Or shut your mouths till you're back in the postseason.
10:27
Sometimes you need luck. Back in it. 14-10. Can Ron Turner please stop running the ball into the middle of the line for no gain?
10:41
Score here, boys. You got the stop. Now score.
11:03
We are in a game we have no business being in. 17-10. Is it Danieal Manning time?
11:18
I firmly apologize for everything I've said about Kyle Orton. I was wrong. The guy doesn't have it. Let's go defense?
11:32
Tied. C'mon defense. Nothing here. NOTHING!
11:47
Sometimes I step back and laugh and say..."play on." Our ball. Overtime. Win this.

December 22, 2008
#5 big rob said . . .I'd like to know whether game conditions favor either side. Normally I'd be sure that it would help us more than the other team, but this is Green Bay. Ever since last year when Kyle did his thing up in Green Bay I've thought of him as a "mudder." Don't know about Rogers. Also don't know why GB has been imploding of late, but I expect great things tonight.
We have a cold front in San Antonio - while I can't carry my huge-ass dinosaur tube TV outside, I'm thinking at least of leaving all the doors open during the game, as a very small show of props to the tremendous Bear fans who will be braving arctic temps tonight - no pussy domes for Bear fans!!!!
YEAHOWWWWSA!!!!!!!!
(way to go Max, you picked the best game to attend, expect a full report after assuming you're still alive)

#7 Al In WI said . . .Since the schedule came out, everyone has known that this game was going to factor in to the Bears playoff hopes.
It's the Packers in Soldier Field. You CANNOT let them come into this stadium and slap the Bears out of the playoffs. Time to smack some Packers up and down the field!!
BEAR DOWN!
December 22, 2008
#8 Nick said . . .Phil the weather is a huge help to the Bears. The packers are a finesse team that cannot run when it really needs too. They also struggle stopping the run. Their team strength is their wide recievers and spread passing game.
The Bears team weakness is their passing game both Orton and the recieving corp. And of course they have struggled against the pass as well.
More running, less throwing; advantage Bears.December 22, 2008

I am strangely at peace about this game. If we lose, we don't deserve it anyway. Let's go out there and show people that if we do make the playoffs, we'll need to be reckoned with.
December 23, 2008
#13 mikebdot said . . .Fuck Steve Young. Too many hits to the head...he's lost it.
December 23, 2008
#14 CA BEAR FAN said . . .Bears have already jumped to 24% chance of making the playoffs...
http://www.playoffstatus.com/nfl/nfcstandings.html
Hooray game theory. Personally I think that's wrong though because there's a 50/50 shot winning both upcoming games and a 50/50 shot of the Vikings losing. But, perhaps they take records into account. I would still argue it's 1/8 or 12.5% to win the north. "Any given Sunday" as they say...or Monday...or Saturday...or sometimes Thursday.
Get it down to 25% Bears...get it done.

December 23, 2008
#21 Tom said . . .We should have thrown a pass on 2nd and 5. Wind at your back...if you throw an incomplete pass, that stops the clock. Or, you complete it and get a first down and the wind is not as much of a factor.
I...hate...Ron...Turner.

December 23, 2008
#30 NY Bears Fan said . . .This sucks, the defense is on the field way too long and will be dragging ass the second half at this rate. The O can't do shit and is 0/3 on third down with only 1 first down to the 9 packers first downs.
December 23, 2008
#31 Tom said . . .Manning dragged those guys down the field....Daniel Fucking Manning!!
December 23, 2008
#32 NY Bears Fan said . . .This may sound stupid considering how early it is but it might be game over. Season over. If Turner plays the slloooww huddle and has KO trying to force something it will definitely be over. Nobody knows how to employ the weakness of his own offense like Turner.
Manning came to play.
December 23, 2008
#33 Tom said . . .Hester would have walked into the end zone, that was a pretty hard pass to catch but he should have had it. Opportunity missed.

December 23, 2008

December 23, 2008
#37 JP said . . .If the Bears can't stop the 10-15 yard throws this game could turn ugly quick. They need to get pressure on Rodgers.
Orton is constantly under pressure and the receivers have been well covered. None of the runs up the middle have opened up with 8 carries and only 14 yards.

December 23, 2008

December 23, 2008
#41 Sdwat51 said . . .I would love to be the reporter that asks Lovie a question at Half: It would be...
"Well Lovie you obviously failed to motivate your players again and you are being out coached big time so there is no point in asking anything but it might help if you went up in the stands and got humiliated with the rest of the fans."
December 23, 2008
#42 Shady said . . .It's like we have great backups starting on O, and yesterday's news on D...
From somewhere, deep within, the bears are going to have to become the BEARS, the indomitable force of black-and-blue, blood-drawing seething animals we once knew....
December 23, 2008

All on Lovie and his staff right now.
December 23, 2008
#44 John said . . .Screw these bears....
All I want for Christmas is Turner, Babich, and Smith GONE.Can you imagine if Chico woulda got the head coaching job?
We'd prolly have Singletary as DO and a mean and WINNING team...Worthless with this staff.
December 23, 2008
#45 Tom.....Shady said . . .Ha Ha Ha. The Bears are a pathetic joke of a team. You bears fans laugh at the Vikings for choking during big games. Well, right now I'm seeing a Bears team getting their asses handed to them at home to a terrible 5-9 packers team. LOL Goodbye Playoffs bears

#53 FIRE LOVIE said . . .Lovie punted the ball from the Green Bay 33. How stupid can a former Super Bowl coach be? Did his mental deal with the devil expire in January 2007?
December 23, 2008
#54 CA BEAR FAN said . . .DEAR LOVIE,
TONIGHT YOU HAVE SURELY OUTWITTED YOUR OPPONENT. JUST KIDDING.
December 23, 2008
#55 NY Bears Fan said . . .1) FUCK YOU JOHN YOU PIECE OF SHIT...GO CHOKE ON A DICK!
2) WE ARE PLAYING WITH NO HEART!
3) COACHES SUCK...OPEN THE PASS GAME UP! TURNER SUCKS
4) DEFENSE IS TIRED AND THE COVERAGE SCHEMES SUCK..BABICH IS AN IDIOT
5) I HATE TO SAY IT BUT THIS MIGHT BE THE END!December 23, 2008
#56 Tom said . . .I think blaming this on Orton is short sighted, there has been constant pressure and the receivers have not been open and we cannot run the ball. You can't blame that on the quarterback without looking closer at the Line and receivers.
December 23, 2008
#57 CA BEAR FAN said . . .# 49 and # 50....read #31.
Orton is definitely playing poorly regardless of play calling BUT he plays better with a faster pace and quick decisions. The more turner holds back the worse it will get.
December 23, 2008
#58 Shady said . . .C'mon PLay with some fuckin HEART! BEARDOWN!
December 23, 2008
#59 Tom said . . .The last 30 minutes is going to go a long way in how we define the 2008 Bears.
December 23, 2008
#60 stuck in mn said . . .Idon't think Forte is 100% either. They were talking about his toe on WBBM before the game.
Oh yeah...I guess they stopped blitzing Manning from the corner cause it worked too well.
December 23, 2008
#61 Tom said . . .This is a fucking joke! What the fuck do they do all week? What kind of offensive plan was that? I'm done with this team...at least the fucking vikings play with heart. Tomorrow should be fun at work.

It goes NOWHERE.
Turner is a child mind....NO imagination WHAT SO EV ERDecember 23, 2008
#67 Albert in Tucson said . . .Why has there not been ONE screen or short pass to Forte??? Not ONE. That is the money of this offense!
December 23, 2008
#68 Ohio Bears fan said . . .I see Green Bay just played "Collapse the Pocket", again. A POX on Lovie and his staff. All those fans show up in ridicluous conditions and their team doen't. The only people our wideouts scare are our QB and our fans. This is unwatchable. I'm switching to EXODOUS on Turner Classics.
December 23, 2008
#69 zmac said . . .Why am I even a fan of this team? It's like they can't wait for the offseason so they can go play golf or something. Wait, I remember, I'm a fan of the BEARS, the team that we used to be. This team is not even similar. Not gonna happen with these coaches. Lovie should have gotten off the Lithium months ago and lit a fire under the team's collective ass. It's much too late now. If the coaches don't give a fuck, why should the team.
December 23, 2008
#70 Tom said . . .UP THE MIDDLE AGAIN??? Where is the screen to Forte at the goal line? RT is looking like an IDIOT with his play calling so far tonight.
December 23, 2008
#71 Tom said . . .THAT was a good play executed well. Throw/catch etc
Could the worm be turning????
December 23, 2008
#72 NY Bears Fan said . . .Playing that bad and down only 14 - 10. But shit even if they come back I don't think I'll be very thrilled.
December 23, 2008
#73 Oaktown34luv said . . .On offense if they are going to sustain drives and give them a chance of winning Turner needs to have some more creative play calling. It has been the same shit up the middle with no short passes to Forte.
December 23, 2008
#74 zmac said . . .Tommy Harris cost us the 1st half.
1. Couldn't catch Rogers when he flushed him on the 1st drive, therefore No sack, No INT, No intimidation of Rodgers
2. Got in the neutral-zone penalty after Maynard coffin corners GB on their 3, allowing GB to get 1st down on next play.
3. Got STOOD UP TWICE (same as pancaked only vertical), on last GB drive of 1st half, allowing GB a long pass for a 1st down and a long run for a TD.
he really looks hurt dragging that left leg like that.
SIT HIS FAT ASS DOWN!!!

#75 Sdwat51 said . . .#73: Really? The pathetic effort by the offense didnt cost us the first half?

December 23, 2008
#78 Ram in S.A said . . .I don't know why 23 returns punts anymore. At least he didn't run backwards.
When you look at his demeanor before/after it looks like he doesn't want to

December 23, 2008
#87 Sdwat51 said . . .If Orton can't move the ball this series, I swear, I'm going to start a "Caleb Hanie" chant....surely he's somewhere near the locker room, right? and if Hanie can't do it, hell, let's give D. Manning a few snaps, see how it goes.

December 23, 2008
#92 Sdwat51 said . . .How was that last play not a sack?
December 23, 2008
#93 Tom said . . .Well, since Caleb isn't available due to some roster issue.......(heh - tongue-in-cheek to stop the vomit from flying up).....
Maybe Manning can run this one back for a TD...no reason, really, why we shouldn't ask him to basically become the Sammy Baugh of this game...
December 23, 2008
#94 Tom said . . .I don't disagree with MOST of the comments about the players but 2 things
1) Forte not being able to play takes away a lot of offense.
2)Bigger yet IMHO Lovie and bums are being badly out coached in every phase from motivation to defenses to play calling.
December 23, 2008

December 23, 2008
#102 zmac said . . .This is hard to watch, if they won I still think I am going to feel like shit after the display they have put on. The offense needs a pick and return it for a score.

December 23, 2008
#104 Sdwat51 said . . .Lovie Smith has to go!!! Not only has this team been terrible this year, but they do not seem to have any heart!!! I think that is a direct reflection of their coach!! If you recall Bill Cower when he was coaching the Steelers, they may not have been the best every year, but they played with heart every week. Lovie Smith has the same confused look every time something happens either good or bad (more times than not bad.) These Bears have zero heart. It is sad for me to watch every week and hope that they can turn the corner. I have come to the conclusion that they cannot turn this around without some serious changes. The first one is getting a coach in there who can fire the team up. Secondly FIND A FUCKING QUARTERBACK!!! How long has it been since we could sustain a drive? And don't tell me 2006 because the defense led that team to the SuperBowl along with Devon Hester!!!

#118 craig said . . .Next issue, the dive play does not work!!!! Why do we continue to run it? Forte has had success bouncing the ball outside, why does it take three and a half quarters to figure this out? Lastly, when will the Bears take part in the NFL Draft and maybe get a quarterback that can play and a receiver that can create separation!!!! It is embarrassing when other teams come in here and drive up and down the field and receivers get open at will.

#128 ambivient packer fan said . . .It's over...a crunch play and you rush your front four only?
Does anyone remember what we did to Peyton Manning in the season opener? We blitzed the crap out of him and it worked...Please FIRE the coaches and bring is some folks with FIRE in their bellies...
Perhaps we can hire a Monkey and he can fling turds at it and call the plays that way...mihgt be better than this crap.

#129 craig said . . .Vikings or Bears, this division is pretty pathetic. None of these teams are good enough to come in 3rd in the nfc east

#130 EDogg23 said . . .It's so sad and frustrating when watching my favorite team is consistently the worst experience of the week.

#131 AK said . . .ZMac you are very right. How can he not see the field at all? It is not like they have Jerry Rice, Steve Largent and Michael Irvin out there. I truly believe they are in love with the run and think it will get them somewhere!!! They have not progressed with the times. They are a 20th century team trying to play in the 21st century!! I have been a fan all of my life, but I am tired of seeing the same thing every season.

December 23, 2008
#139 zmac said . . .Ok. Here's where we need the OL and Forte to get it done...
December 23, 2008
#140 Jimbo said . . .RON TURNER... a few words... FORTE. FORTE, FORTE. Screen passes, swing passes, runs to the outside!
December 23, 2008
#141 Jimbo said . . .That Manning is a scary dude...Nice run back.

#144 Jimbo said . . .You know, I'm riding like a 100% accuracy rate... when I say a game is basically over and a team is going to lose, they win. Lol.
By the way. I fucking love Matt Forte.
December 23, 2008
#145 zmac said . . .4 plays to Forte up the middle...
WHY???
OH Gould will make it.
December 23, 2008
#146 Jimbo said . . .Is there anyone else other than Gould you want kicking from 45 yards or closer?
December 23, 2008
#147 NY Bears Fan said . . .That time out thing before the kick is dirty pool I hate that.
December 23, 2008
#148 zmac said . . .I can't handle this shit, I don't need this stress FUCK YA. Gould is money whatever they paid him it is worth it.
December 23, 2008
#149 Tom said . . .Wow! What a game by the defense, S/T and Forte!
December 23, 2008
#150 YID said . . .I never had a doubt the Bears would win. I mean KO was brilliant and Turner was magnificent. Yeah...fuckin right.
December 23, 2008
#151 Jimbo said . . .WHERE YOU AT JOHN?? YOU'VE GONE AWFULLY QUIET YOU QUEEN!
FORTE IS A FUCKING KING!
December 23, 2008
#152 zmac said . . .Any game that comes down to Gould is a done deal.
Outstanding Special Teams and Defense won this one...
GO BEARS!
Everyone root for the Giants next week and hope the Bears beat Texas...let's shock the NFL!
December 23, 2008
#153 NY Bears Fan said . . .Only bummer is I lost my fantasy game by 3 points... it came down to Forte & Chicago D/ST vs Jennings and GB D/ST. I started the night 8 points behind thanks to a brilliant -8 point performance by Kurt Warner.
December 23, 2008
#154 jonathan said . . .I finally figured it out...the Bears are like my golf game. On any given day I will drive the ball well or hit my irons or putt well. But I cannot remember a day where I played a round where I put all of it together.
Early in the year when the offense was clicking the defense looked awful and now it is vice versa. At least we can count on special teams to be consistent. Maybe it is directly related to coaching, or its an issue with talent or a little of both.
Winning ugly is still winning but they stay alive and we live another week.

#155 Start Rex said . . .bears win!!!!!!
call it a miracle, whatever, we're still alive and I am happy!!!
tonight was all about special teams, d played decent, whatever, have a beer, we won!!!!!!
December 23, 2008
#156 NY Bears Fan said . . .Kyle Orton is now officially hurting the performance of Forte.
Our next best offensive weapon is Devin Hester, who Orton can not connect with because his deep ball travels 35 yards with the wind at his back.
When Kyle is off Forte suffers. If we suffer through a QB, I would rather suffer the one that can spread the field.
Call me crazy, but Rex is our best bet in the playoffs.
December 23, 2008
#157 Shady said . . .Forte accounted for 101 of the 210 yards tonight and he didn't even play a few series.

#158 shonbear said . . .Wins a win, right?
Jeez, haha, what an emotional roller coaster this game was.
How funny was the 'heads' coming off of Urlacher's head?
Robbie "good as" Gould
KO coming through when it matters most.
Defense playing with pride.
Only 3 catches by WRs. Hester with 2 and Lloyd with 1. And they still won? Wow.
Bears live to see another day, and that makes me a happy guy.
December 23, 2008
#159 johnnyelpaso said . . .Why does it take four quarters of trying to run in between the tackles for Ron Turner to have Forte finally bounce it outside or do a cutback???
It's a win, we sure didn't deserve it, but it's the first time since 2006 that we actually won 3 in a row. Here's to hoping the momentum takes us into a 4th win, regardless of what Minnesota, Dallas or Tampa Bay do this week.
Interestingly, we may know before the second set of games whether we are in or not, or even still have a chance.
As the first games are:
Minnesota
Tampa Bay
ChicagoSecond set
Dallas and Phly
Other observations:
- 3rd and long: what the hell
- pooch kick with 3 minutes: what the hell, kick it deep, it was working for us the whole game!
- Adrian Peterson came in for two series- what?
- Adrian Peterson and the horse collar out of bounds: what the hell, peanut disease or what!
- Kyle Orton and interceptions: huh??? What are you thinking?
- Kyle throwing short and making receivers come back when they break away from coverage?? Still Hester should have caught the one that touched his hands and the one that was slightly over his head going 200 mph.
-Receivers: Booker catching the ball against his chest rather than using his hands, What the hell???
COACHING COACHING COACHING.
ARGH, STRESS, STRESS
One more week of this is going to kill me.
Go Bears, Go Giants!
Can someone please call a doctor!

#160 Big Julie from Chicago said . . .it just makes me sick to my stomach to still hear people talk about starting Rex.....Rex is one of the shittiest qb of all time so pleases stop.........the defensive and offensive cordinators for this team just suck.......the TE and Forte won this game for us. the TE did an awsome job and Forte running the outside won us this game......what frustrated the most about this defense is that on 3rd and long the defense was standing around giving rodgers all the time in the world.....

#161 Murph said . . .Headline: "Mediocre Team Gets its Ass Kicked All Night at the Line of Scrimmage and Wins on a Fluke Muffed Punt. Rest of NFL - Beware of Bears!" It's clearly better to be lucky than good. Gag up, Chicago Bears!
December 23, 2008
Johnny Johnny Johnny.....Shittiest QB ever? We only got to the super bowl with Rex. Orton cant throw long and he cant win a big game.....case closed on that. Yea Rex made some mistakes, but he was young and some qbs always throw their INT's...see Favre. But the dude can throw long and win big games. Dont know if he can succeed in Chicago....fans are just brutal on him....seems tentative afraid tomake a mistake. The team has taken on Lovies personality....NONE, like fuckin zombies....we need help here guys!!
