I hate you all

OK, not ALL of you. Just the ones who have made thread after thread blaming everything and everybody for today's loss EXCEPT the people who are responsible (in large).

Football is a team sport, so the TEAM lost. But if you want to call for somebody's head, look no further than Jason Baker and the gunners on the punt team and then turn your head to Mare. No, not the missed 50 yarder. But for not kicking the ball out of the back of the end zone EVERY time. The one time he let Hester return it, it turned into the Bears having the ball around mid-field to set up an easy TD drive.

Get the ST fixed and we're fine. Yeah, our run D sucks, but our best two LBs are done for the year. That is to be expected.

Also, Naanee deserves the hate. I want his head as well.

But for the love of god, quit blaming the play-calling (it was fantastic today. Our offense is FAR from the problem), Rivera (not his fault, clowns), Hurney (wtf?), or whoever else is being unfairly blamed.

Almost anyone with half a brain will tell you that Chudzinki;s playcalling is borderline erratic at times. Especially in the endzone.

I wouldn't say that. I mean, there are calls where we go "...what?" but that is every OC in the league. They all make crazy calls at times. But when you have 500+ yards of offense...that isn't JUST execution. It is scheme. The play-calling is fine.

Let's take the Rivera 6-plays theory (in no particular order)

1) PR for a TD

2) KR to midfield that set up another Chicago TD

3) Blocked FG

4) Missed FG

5) Pick 6 (hit Naanee in the hands, have to catch it)

6) Forte's run on the last possession (yeah, short field, but defense can't give up that big of a play in that type of situation)

Now, if you look at that, 4 of those plays are special teams. One is on our worst receiver right now and the other is due to a lack of our best LBs.

Bitching about coaching and playcalling and saying THAT is what cost us the game is pure ignorance.

    • I get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that. 
    • I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something. 
    • But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
