2009-10 Bears Season: Utler, 'Uther 'Uckers

[Dr. Nguyen Van Falk]

I'll let the more statistically-dexterous answer this question: Could the game simply be a big anomaly? Maybe the Bengals are better than the Bears, maybe they're better at home, etc. But suppose you played these 2 teams 100 times and 98 times the Bears are embarrassed, but it just happens that this time they were?

In baseball and basketball, good teams lay eggs all the time. Like here. And here. And here.

And here. And here.

I know that a football season is shorter and that a loss means more. But had the Bears lost 24-23 on a last-second field goal, would it be any better?

Shut up with your "dispassionate reason," hippie.

Yeah, it would. The way they were exposed at all levels on both sides of the ball has to hurt their confidence considerably. That doesn't really matter in baseball but it actually does in football. You don't get as many chances to self-correct. You play tentative and you're dead. That said. Cleveland is coming in and a 31-3 thrashing against them might give them a boost with a beatable Tards team coming in next. I had this team at 10-6 and I had losses both at Atlanta and Cincy figured in. But now... 8-8.

What makes the Tards beatable? They look pretty much like the opposite of the Bears. You know. Good.

More bad news:

I just went to 7-11 for some Red Bull because I'm dragging ass today and I saw that they had a bunch of Bears Logo Bic lighters. I collect these things and have a bunch of Cubs ones from back in the day so I bought two. They don't work. Not a lick. Nothing.

FIRE LOVIE!!!!

Frank Omiyale to try his hand at keeping the bench from getting into the backfield.

This is a good start.  He's been the worst player on the field the last two games...and that's saying something.

Umm... You're right.

Not that Roach is great (insert shitbrain Kurt) or anything, but considering he took all of his snaps
at strong side before the injuries and he's playing in a defensive scheme which expects him to
defend vast swathes of the field, I think he's been ok.

I'd push a good deal of the team into a wood chipper before him.

The Woodchipper (in order of appearance)
1. Frank Omiyale
2. Orlando Pace
3. Nathan Vasher
4. Kevin Payne
5. Helen Huntermeyer

There's really nobody else I want to push in.

Tommie Harris can go in before Huntermeyer and take the entire undertaintackle position with him.

Why? Push Urlacher and Tinoisomoa and Kevin Jones in too for having the nerve to be injured?
