I like the old saying, "Coaches don't win games, they lose games" because its perfectly applicable to the Chicago Bears and their coaching staff. First, let me repeat something I said in disgust at the start of the season: the Chicago Bears will never, ever win a Super Bowl with Lovie Smith (and Angelo) as the head coach. Never. Well, not unless he is given the most talented players in the NFL to fool around with. Lovie Smith is just plain, old okay most of the time. The players seem to like him. But that's really it. He is rarely going to out coach the other team. He doesn't really bring anything extra as a head coach (Cover 2 doesn't count because you could just hire a Cover 2 guy as a defensive coordinator. And the Cover 2 sucks). Lastly, I just can't stand to look at him anymore. I can't tolerate that blank face that screams, "I am doing nothing here. Don't look here. Nothing is happening". (See picture above).
Regardless, despite Lovie Smith's mediocraty. Ron Turner and his idiotic hand off to the practice squad fullback has to go down as one of the worst calls I have ever seen. For some reason, Turner is in love with the FB hand off despite overwhelming empirical evidence that it has repeatedly failed. If your going to run the ball, give it to Forte. Don't give it to your back up fullback for a middle-run against the fat boys Williams!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Sorry, I'm back. The decision to go for it on 4th down is okay (although clearly kicking the ball would have been better). But trying to go down the middle on two consecutive plays is just downright foolish, inadequate and irresponsible on Turner's part. But let's move on before my head explodes.
1. The Real Adrien Peterson is absolutely brilliant. I've never seen a guy run that hard and mean since Walter Payton. He's just a beast. He made our defenders look like Tyrus Thomas and Y. Noah.
2. I hate Minnesota. Just hate everything about them. The gayish purple colors. The f'n dome. The fat boy Williamses. I can't stand them.
3. Kyle Orton looks a lot like Rex Grossman. I'm not going to totally fall off his wagon, but he hasn't gotten it done since the ankle injury. Of course it doesn't help when your throwing the ball to the fake Adrien Peterson and Rashid Davis. Nor does it help that your OL got its ass handed to them.
Players: Matt Forte. He does everything. We should just call him "Jack", as in Jack of all trades. I'm pretty sure he could also be our best QB and safety in addition to being our best RB and WR. Other game balls go to Lance Briggs and Mike Brown. Not because they played great or anything, but because they just play 100%. Briggs was getting his behind beat by the Vikings OL and the Real AP, but he just kept on giving a total effort. Again, respect.
Haters: Charles Tillman gets the award for worst defensive play by a veteran CB making a lot of money. Completely inexcusable. Berrian's only route is the go-route. What he was doing on that play, only god knows. Kyle Orton see (3) above. The Bears OL. And of course, the Bears coaching staff.
