Assholes...

Just when I was beginning to doubt my own misgivings about what an inept coach Lovie Smith is, the Bears go ahead and get completely disgraced like this. I could offer the typical breakdown of what I saw from the game as I usually do, but why bother? Why bother preparing when the Bears themselves prepared for this game about as much as Jay Marrioti prepared to not beat his girlfriend someday.

In short here's where it came down to. Julius Peppers needed to generate pressure, and he didn't. The Bears needed to stuff the run...and they didn't. The Bears had to allow short completions by the Pats and cause them to cough the ball up....but they didn't. The Bears offense needed to establish the run...and they didn't.

To sum up, there was a whole lot of would've, could've, should've and didn't from the Bears today. This is the kind of game that the coaching staff burns the game film, rather than try to learn from it. Instead of locking up the NFC North Division crown, the Bears have now pretty much guaranteed that it will come down to the final week of the season before we find out if they will be playing meaningful football in January.

Thank goodness Detroit gave Aaron Rodgers a concussion...
