Here's a word for word recap of Lovie Smith's press conference after the game. Either he's trying to get fired to get that 11 million dollars or he has gone bat crap insane. Lovie: "Today we didn't have an opportunity...well we had opportunities...we had the opportunities but we really didn't...but we're gonna hang our head on the things we always have." "As far as regrouping, today, i mean we feel like crap today. There's no way around it...It's not a feel good we have right now...but after a loss like that's how it is, but you know, the sun normally comes up, soon it will come up tomorrow...we will go back to work...have a lot of football left to go. "

"The Ol' Gunslinger's arm is so strong he sent Madden's plane flying here himself on a slant route. He thought the Steelers brought pressure, but they had nothing on the barometric pressure! .....let's kick it down to Pam." Madden actually HATES flying, and takes a personal bus to all the games he called. I declare your commentary to be LIES. "So strong is Madden's love for Brett he actually overcame his fear of flying to be here to call the game. He also helped Troy Aikman overcome his fear of snakes by his inspiration."

Ah Jim Mora, my personal favorite insanity press conference is this. Man, I loved that season (and not just because the Colts won at the end of it). That meltdown was hilarious, the Colts/Chiefs playoff game after all the talking heads went on and on about how LJ was going to run roughshod over the Colts defense (the Chiefs did not even get a 1st down in the first half), and the Bears suffering from bipolar disease (i.e., they started Grossman). Seriously, the Bears' games that year were a blast to watch in the event that they lost, because when they lost it meant that Grossman really sucked it up, especially in week 17 (where he managed to have a 0 QB rating).

As a Bears fan, I can't help but wonder how Mike Shanahan would like the Bears' version of navy and orange.
That offensive line made me so, so sad today, but I couldn't look away. Nothing they could do. As Aikman put it, Cutler looks like a QB who has no confidence: no confidence that his line will protect him and no confidence that his receivers will be where they are supposed to be and do what they are supposed to do. He hasn't played well in more than a few games, but he is far from the "Problem" with the Bears.
Also, if Lovie does get canned, I'd be interested in a defensive overhaul that would move to a 3-4. If anyone hasn't noticed, the complete 3-part backup LB group of Hillenmeyer, Roach and Jamar Williams have all looked good. They clearly hope that Gaines Adams and Mark Anderson can become Real pass rushers. And they don't have much at DT because Tommie Harris' injury history has slowed him down and he isn't big enough to be more than an effective 3-technique. They also have an interested and decent D-backfield with Afalava, Graham, Bowman and Manning all showing a little bit of interesting ability alongside Peanut.
BUT...if Lovie goes, they have to dump Angelo as well; no potential top-tier candidate will want him as their personnel guy.

I just don't know HOW committed the McCaskeys are to winning now - firing Lovie, all of his people, Angelo, and all of his people...are they willing to eat that much money? They kind of have to - Urlacher and Briggs only have so much time left as high-level players, and every year that Cutler doesn't have an O-Line ahead of him is a year wasted and a career potentially shortened. They need to do this. But I don't know if they will.

So who hires Weis as their OC for next season?
Also, thoughts on more Ward stupidity:

I know we're not supposed to wish harm, and I really don't want to see it happen, but I wonder if Ward would say the same thing when he's in his 50's and has no memory left and can barely function so he can be the "tough guy" whereas Ben is at least trying to limit what damage he's already done.
It's attitude's like his that's causing horrible lives for many ex-NFL players. I know it's a rough game, but the attitudes need to change if something is to be done about it. Guys need to seek treatment and take care of themselves as best they can rather than just tough it out and get to be 40 and barely walk and needing to write down every little thing so they can remember what they need to do.

Ridiculous comments, and Ward is a classic example of the macho idiots who think keeping your cred and getting on the field is more important than 20 years down the line when you can't pick your kids up. If he wants that for himself, it's his call. It's his body. Let him do what he wants and be whatever he wants to be. But to start taking the veiled little "I dunnnooooo, I mean I've done it before, why can't he?" comments and throwing them at your QB, who by the way, is pretty damn tough considering how often he plays and how many times their offensive line allows him to hit the dirt is disgusting.
Hines needs to shut up, then grow up. And that includes things non-related to this, like half the s*** he does on the field.

Apparently Jake Delhomme fractured a finger on his throwing hand yesterday against the Jets and Matt Moore is going to be taking some first-team snaps this week in practice.
Wow.....that's a shame.
No, I couldn't say that with a straight face.
I'm fairly certain all the fingers on his throwing hand have been fractured all season, judging by his "play" this year.
I'm willing to give the guy another shot next year if he can get himself right during the offseason. But I would like a little more QB insurance next year. Bring in somebody who can immediately take over should he be the same Delhomme that we saw this year. Something like the Cowboys did by picking up Jon Kitna. I don't feel like if Romo went down that there would be that bad of a drop off, because Kitna can play. I want that kind of insurance behind Delhomme, should we bring him back and he ends up being terrible again. I don't have that confidence in Matt Moore or AJ Feely, but we will probably see them both here in the final weeks.

^May be it's just a cover up to let Fox bench Jake without having to answer questions about why the hell they gave him a huge contract at the start of the season. Also, yea Hines Ward is an idiot. Life doesn't end for an athlete when they retire, christ you have at least half of your life left, why spend it permanently injured? Oh to beat the Ravens to get in a wild card place...right, I'm sure Ben would of took brain damage for something that will mean nothing in a year.

Matt Ryan has ligament damage in his big toe and has been formally ruled out for Week 13 by the Falcons.
Redskins placed TE Chris Cooley (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season.

According to 670 The Score in Chicago, the Bears recently reached out to CBS analyst Bill Cowher to gauge his interest in the team's head-coaching job should Lovie Smith be fired.
