It hasn’t got any better for the Bears this week. The Bears looked silly playing in Baltimore, where they were utterly embarrassed, losing 31-7.
The blame is been put on Jay Cutler, Lovie Smith, Jerry Angelo, and the offensive line, but who is more to blame? It’s a little bit of everyone. I think by now people have stopped considering that the Bears are anything close to a good team, and have realized that this team has many, many flaws.
These flaws start with bad picks in drafts after the Super Bowl year.
Players such as Dan Bazuin (2007/2nd round) and Micheal Okwo (2007/3rd round) are both out of football. Dusty Dvoracek has suffered four straight season-ending injuries after becoming drafted in 2006 in the 2nd round by the Bears. Jarron Gilbert, drafted 3rd round in 2009, has been inactive 10 games and hasn’t recorded a single tackle. Another 3rd rounder in 2009, has been inactive for all 14 games.
Those are facts that don’t look pretty. It’s not something an organization wants to see. The Bears are not getting any help from their early draft picks, and it’s hurting them.
It’s hard not put some blame on Jay Cutler even though I know his offensive line isn’t that goo; but 25 INTs is just too much for me. It also doesn’t help that Cutler has never had a winning season. That’s including high school, college, and the NFL. I don’t care what kind of numbers you put up because, in the end, all that matters is how many wins you have at the end of the season.
The man who certainly deserves to have blame put on him is head coach Lovie Smith. I never was a fan of Lovie. His laid back kind of coaching never stuck with me, and I never found it to be any good. It’s evident now that Lovie isn’t the right coach for the Bears. His type of coaching is better for proven teams. It’s not working, so it’s time for Lovie to go.
I would like to see the Bears go after Bill Cowher. He’s a Super Bowl winning coach and his style of coaching is what I think the Bears need.
The Bears’ flaws were only thought to be in the QB and WR position, but now it’s been proven that the crack runs down much farther than anybody could have seen. The question is will the Bears be able to recover next year? It’s not impossible for them to turn this team around, but it starts with meaningful early draft picks.
You say the Bears don’t have any early draft picks? Oh, well that’s just too bad.
