I'm sorry but this defensive system is entirely Lovie Smith's... The problem with it is that it is NOT designed to stop the run... As Washington is showing today, you can run on this altered Cover 2 defensive system all day and eventually wear the players in the system out...

(Note: This is the same system Tony Dungy runs, and you wonder why his teams in Tampa and Indy have never been able to win anything. This is why: The defense isn't designed to stop the run...)

What a clusterf*** by the offensive line... We only needed one more first down to get in FG range and then we get not one, not two, but THREE consecutive false start penalties.

I guess it takes recovering a fumble on a kickoff to get an offensive touchdown.

Orton's the only guy on the offense who's shown up. Moose has a bunch of yards but that's cause the kid's throwing to him all the time. Plus he dropped a big gainer. And Thomas Jones is reminding people why the Bears drafted Benson. Who, ready or not, needs to get the hell out there.

Orton and Mush are the only ones that have shown up today. The O-Line has been inconsistent, and we don't have a pass rush.

Ron Turner's play-calling hasn't changed much from the last couple years here in Champaign: Run up the middle on first down, run up the middle on second down, pass short of what you need for a first down on third down.

When are people going to start getting on Lovie Smith for not being able to find an offensive coordinator worth a crap???

[Dusty Baker] See, this is what happens when you play kids, dude. Come on man, put Blake in, let's not kill the kid's confidence... Dude.[/Dusty Baker]

Johnston, Siragusa, Stockton: MORANS

Stockton has twice called Mark Brunell "Scott".

Johnston said "Commissioner Roselle" went down to Louisiana to help with the relief efforts.

Siragusa said Ramsey would come right back in the game after that hit by Briggs but he hasn't yet.
