Bears Rant

Ok, if you aren't a sports fan, skip this. Or read it, and be reminded of why you don't care about sports.

The Bears got humiliated by the Packers yesterday 37-3. It was ugly. Absolutely ugly. I don't even know where to start? Trotting out a QB with one leg because your back-up is so useless that you don't want to risk him in the game? (Until there is about 3 minutes left.....why then? Did you really think you were going to overcome the deficiet and come back?)

Or a defense that, not only can it not pressure the quarterback or defend against the pass, it cannot stop the run without committing 8 guys into the "box." 145 yards rushing by a guy who'd been having a crappy year! The front four didn't even get close to touching Rogers (or anybody else this year.) Backup linemen on good teams have more sacks then the entire Bears line COMBINED. COMBINED!!!!! Awful, just awful.

Our corners have apparently forgotten how to cover. Vasher is useless. Yes, he was hurt, but supposedly he's not hurt now, he just can't cover. Tillman would make a great safety, except he's needed as a corner. Mike Brown is a good strong safety, but not so good on coverage, just like Payne...hmm...think that's a problem? Briggs is decent, Urlacher actually showed up a bit which was nice.

The team is a mess. We don't have a number 1 wide reciever. Heck, on good teams we wouldn't even have a number 2 reciever. We didn't dress, DRESS EVEN our #2 running back even though Green Bay is weak against the run and we were going to run a lot against them. (Supposedly.)

Even special teams continued to suck.

Bears fan, get used to this. This is a team in disarray. We have no recievers, no defensive secondary, a defensive line that can't get to the QB, and things aren't looking good for the future. If you think its bad this year, wait til next year. Unless there are some amazing moves in the off-season, or some guys really step it up, well, we could be looking at a dismal future. Dismal.
