No. Barber is a great running back, and Bell isn't bad. Our loses are reflections of bad drafting, lack of second and third string depth...Hanie BLOWS. When Big Ben was suspended for a couple of games last year, the team chugged on with their stout defense and run game. When the Texans lost their first and second quarterbacks this year, they kept rolling.
The AFC West is terrible. There is no reason for the Bears to close that stretch 1-3. The Seahawks suck too.
Our offensive line is shit. Total garbage. That tells you just how good Jay Cutler is, making our offensive line look competent. Our receiver core cannot run routes or catch passes. Mike Martz has been out coached the past few weeks against a weak ass AFC West, and don't even ask what Lovie is doing.
Honestly...there is a lot of internal conflict and poor decision making at Chicago. Look at your team, the Packers. Half the guys on last year's Super Bowl team were drafted players. Young guys. Guys who were inserted into a carefully designed system run by a competent front office and an amazing coach, McCarthy.
The Bears...have sunk a lot of money into guys like Roy Williams, Marion Barber, and Julius Peppers. I love Peppers, but he is prone to injury, old, and has a limited window to play.
Roy Williams is known as "Droptimus Prime" you know. The compliment to Megatron.
All the Bears had to do for a shot at the playoffs was to beat a few struggling AFC west teams, and a crappy Seahawks team...they should have picked up McNabb for beans. McNabb is mature and knows how to throw the ball away or stand in the pocket and take a sack. Hanie is young, developing, and an Interception throwing machine. You cannot win games by throwing 2 pick sixes. You cannot win a game if you lose the turnover battle and score on average 11 points.
