Bear down, Chicago Bears, put up a...oh forget it.

OK then, so I called for a 12-4 season and to get twelve wins at this point the NFL would have to extend the season to 19 games. And we would have to run the table. I think it's that time Bears fans. No, not time to abandon ship and jump to the promising young Blackhawks or the maddening Bulls. It's time for Lovie to go.

Everything about the team sucks right now. The offense can't score in the Red Zone. His defense can't defend anymore. They took possibly the most exciting, dynamic, ridiculous return man in the history of the game and turned him into another nobody. Even the field is a joke. I mean, who installs new sod 5 days before a home game in the friggin' winter? Did you see the players slipping all over the field against the Rams? This is the biggest no-brainer decision they could make. Put in the damned artificial turf.

But back to what really matters. Now have the players completely lost their ability to do their job? I kinda doubt it. We could use a few upgrades but we have some talent on this team. The defense was supposed to regain it's dominance this year under the tutelage of our illustrious Lovie, who demoted the last guy because, guess what, the defense sucked. He infamously ran Ron Rivera out of town because he had the gall to suggest to Lovie that as defensive coordinator he should actually get to run the defense his way. His reward? He got canned. So King Lovie put himself up on his pedestal and did it his way. And his way sucks too.

We aren't fooling anybody on either side of the ball. Offenses run roughshod over us because our defense is outdated and Lovie can't see the forest through the trees. Defenses have our run game bottled up, our passing routes clogged with defenders, and our quarterback looking over his shoulder because, surprise, WE AREN'T FOOLING ANYBODY. Sitting on my couch I know what's coming, you don't think the opposing defensive coordinators got that figured out as well? Even special teams has been quite less than special this year.

I could go on and on. But I just want to remind everyone that teams used to fear playing us. I want some fire. I want some creativity. I want some freakin' wins. I want Bill Cowher. He is out there, somewhere, waiting for a call from the Bears that is never gonna come. And we're stuck with Lovie.
