The last post of the week: something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of this weekend.

So…that was awful. Yes, awful in the sense that the Bears lost, but taking out my rooting interests for a second: That game was straight-up terrible. I was watching it with my roommate and we commented on how much it resembled a high school football game; penalties on every other play, defenses looking like the ‘85 Bears, inept offenses…the list goes on and on.

An aside: No, Matt Millen, these defenses weren’t ‘real good’. And they haven’t been real good, where have YOU been? The game was 10-6 because the offenses couldn’t execute (6 interceptions, HELLO?!?!), not because Josh Bullocks, Mark Roman, Takeo Spikes and Hunter Hillenmeyer strike fear into the hearts of opposing offenses.

Matt fucking Millen. The guy should never be allowed near anything remotely related to football, much less announce a game. I’m thankful that he single-handedly made the Lions a punching bag for the rest of the NFL, but the guy knows SHIT about football. Fuck you, NFL Network, for making me listen to his insufferable drivel.

Sorry, back to the game. The elephant in the room. Those five interceptions. I’m of the opinion that the first and last picks are all on Cutler. The three in between aren’t totally his fault. You can pin the second one on Hester as he fell down coming out of his break. The third one is just shit luck. The umpire gets in the way, so Hester has to slow down in order to avoid killing him. Both times, Cutler threw to a spot and both times, his receiver wasn’t there.

The fourth pick, in my opinion, was a blown call. A nearly identical call happened at the end of the first half when Cutler threw to Earl Bennett. The DB got there too early and was flagged. It’s obvious from the replay that (I believe) the same DB bumped Kellen Davis to get to the ball. For consistency, the refs should have flagged him again. Yes, he has a right to the ball as much as Davis does, but keep the calls consistent throughout the game.

Oh, hey! A Devin Aromashodu sighting!

I think the most irritating thing I heard all night was when Millen said that he spoke to Olin Kreutz about the offensive line “coming together”. Now, I’ve adopted the principal to take anything Matt Millen says and then believe the opposite because he’s a dumb ass. So, he claims that Kreutz told him that the offensive line was “real close” to getting on the same page. Say what? Real close?!? The Bears had under 50 yards rushing the entire game! That, sir, is not what I call real close. That’s about as far from close as you come. That’s some Cleveland Browns shit right there!!! I also don’t like it when the offensive line looks similar to the levee’s of New Orleans during Katrina. (If you saw the first offensive series when Chris Williams got blown the fuck up by Takeo Spikes, you know what I’m talking about).

What can you say? We’re a bad team. We’ll go 6-10 and get a top twelve pick in the draft. Oh, wait…
