Herp derp his way to a SB? Look up the stats on those playoff runs cutie pie. Pretty sure two of the greatest plays in SB history came from Eli's right arm.

I already said we're going 10-6!
And I don't think defending Eli's amazing playoff runs qualifies as "shitty." Burnem's incessant whining is far more shitty.
Oh, this is real btw:St. Louis Rams even called Brett Favre to replace Sam Bradford - ESPN

Stopped reading when you started gushing over Lovie. Decent defensive coach but completely abysmal on offense. There's a reason why he is still unemployed,

They were for the last decade up until this season. Then it literally fell off a cliff.

No. Bears are in the middle of the pack on offense. Their ppg is 2nd, but that's more because they're tied for 1st in takeaways Thanks to their defense

I thought that same thing. Rough year for quarterbacks in the NFL. Be ready for further pussification of the NFL to protect them.
Bears piss me off. Bears football has been heavy defense orientated and it worked really well for them. This year we got rid of Lovie (okay fine, whatever not sure how many coaches get fired after a 10 - 6 season but whatever change can be good). They dump Marinelli and Urlacher. Urlacher was definitely getting old but he knew the defense and he was a huge help to the coaching staff. He also was really smart in figuring out what offenses we're going to run. Briggs has been with the Bears for a decade though so sure give him captain he deserves it but it's his first year as captain of the Bears D.
Bears pick up Trestman because our offense has been shit for so long we look back on McMahon with fond memories. So the Bears office and Trestman throw money and time at an offense that desperately needed it but this is happening on top of massive changes in the defense. The problem then becomes our defense is anemic as every other fucking high powered offense except we don't really have a high powered offense. So we won't win in a shootout with Luck, Peyton, and any other QB having a really good game and we don't have the defense to stop them from scoring. I boil it down to a rebuilding year because we have the talent but it's a serious reshuffle and everyone needs time to get everything sorted out. Except now your buddy and mine J Cutty is due up for a contract and the Bears are either going to keep an average QB with a cannon arm or we are going to breaking in a new guy in 2013-2014. Christ. I love my Bears but goodamn.

As a Cowboy fan I would like to thank the Bears for Rod Marinelli, we have more turnovers through 7 games than we had the entire year previously. The guy has taken nobody failures and turned them into a formidable line. After knowing what the Bears defense is about all the years with him and the turn around the Dallas D has had it is crystal clear Marinelli is the reason for it. They may suck and give up a ton of yards but they at least can get to the QB and and take the ball away which is something they didn't do without him.

Gushing over Lovie? Not exactly, but his record stands. He had the best winning percentage against the Packers of any Bears coach outside of Ditka and had the only other Superbowl appearance, as well. Except for one or two seasons, the Bears were always generating winning records. His problem was the Cutler trade caused a bunch of collateral drama that ultimately made him fall out of favor with both the front office and large chunks of the fan base. Basically, the Bears somehow turned into the Giants, minus the Superbowl rings. Perhaps he is to blame for the culture shift that led to their current predicament, but I think the front office might have fucked him with the constant carousel of offensive coordinators the last few years.

I'm sure when Favre is sitting at home watching games on Sunday while also sending dick pics to whatever sideline reporter he sees the like of Freeman, Weeden, Clemens, etc starting and thinks even at 44 he's a hell of a lot better than they are. And you know what? He's probably right, just goes to show how shitty you can be as a backup QB.
