Ron Turner Is Still Bad – Bear Dawn (12/31)

Gavin Tugana — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 05:00:59 +0000

Ruh-roh.

Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune took an in-depth look at Cutler’s stats in and out of the pocket this year. As we know, Cutler feels more comfortable and has made some huge plays outside of the pocket. The main point of the article? Originally, Ron Turner met with Cutler and was focused on moving the pocket. Problem is, we have horrible offensive linemen who couldn’t adequately block, and thus had to steer away from the plan.

Jerry, Lovie, and Ron: Go away.

Speaking of Lovie, check out this post from my guy smudgers on the many, many faces of Lovie Smith. It’s good for a laugh or five.

Hunter Hillenmeyer made some great plays last Monday – will he do the same on Sunday?

Jay Cutler does, indeed, have confidence in his young receivers.

Chris Williams also got a boost of confidence after going against Jared Allen.

Did Cutler flip the Bird to booing fans

Boomer — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 18:17:44 +0000

With the Bears securely nestled in what was sure to be a safe 16-0 margin at halftime, the Bears decided to take a knee to end the half. Frustrated Bears fans let the boos fly. What more do you expect on a frigid Monday night during the disappointing season?

I saw some reports that Cutler flipped fans the bird to the boo birds as he left the field. I didn’t want to publish anything until we got some kind of evidence. Well, check out the photo after the jump and decide for yourself.

Bears Upset Vikings, Saints Clinch Top Spot in NFC

Boomer — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 06:43:51 +0000

Lovie let's his guard down to show his excitement.

Try as they might, the Bears couldn’t squander a 16-point halftime lead to keep the Vikings in the mix for the #1 seed in the NFC. Instead, they somehow they managed to hang on to pull off the 36-30 upset win and help the Saints back into home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

Brett Favre led a second half Vikings comeback where he picked apart Lovie Smith’s Cover-2 defense to tie the game up on a last gasp 4th and goal play with under a minute to go in the game. Had Izzy Idonije not blocked a Ryan Longwell PAT earlier in the game, the Vikings may have very well prevailed.

Lovie Smith apologists will try to use this win as a reason to keep Smith and his staff, but don’t be fooled. There are still plenty of reasons to pass out the pink slips at the end of the season. Be sure to check out FIRE LOVIE SMITH for lots of coverage as the walls cave in around Lovie. Let’s look at the memorable moments of the game: … [visit site to read more]
