Are you kidding me David Haugh? | Bears fan still bearing

In between class, I try to listen to "670 The Score", and today I couldn't help but completely disagree with Chicago Tribune's sports writer David Haugh. I almost walked out of class to call the show, but realized, A. That I'd probably be put on hold for at least thirty minutes, and, B. My cell phone bill is already too high, and I am currently suffering from low fundalation, because I'm still in college. The question that most Bears fans are wondering (other than, how does Hester miss that TD catch?), why did we abandon the no huddle? Or, sugar offense, or, whatever it is that you want to call it.

When David Haugh chimmed in for a brief stint today on 670 the score, I wasn't sure if he'd been watching any Bear games all season, or ever. He referred to the "no huddle up", as a beautiful thing, when used at the right time. Yes, we know this. Then, he defended Ron Turner in saying, that he didn't think it would continue to work, because, defenses adjust and sooner or later, defenses won't be on their heels and Grossman might have been sacked more than he was, if they stuck with it. What offense has he been watching this season? I concur with the no huddle up, being a beautiful thing, when used at the right time. Yes, it does catch defenses by surprise most of the time, and it does get them tired, and keeps them on their heels. Michael Strahan, did say after the game, that he was glad the Bears left the no huddle up, because everyone on defense was tired.... Great. Maybe, David Haugh needs to research a little bit more, before making such a ridiculous statement.

BUT, for the Chicago Bears, this season. What offense has clicked? WE DON'T HAVE THAT LUXURY. WE DON'T HAVE THAT LUXURY. What is he talking about? Okay, let's leave something that's working, and go back to our base offense that hasn't worked all season.... If we're the Patriots, and we're not, then the no huddle up is great, because they have the luxury of going back to their regular base package, and eating 8 minutes off the clock and methodically make their way downfield and scoring. We don't have an offense that has worked consistently, all season long. So, we finally find something that works, and then why go back to something that hasn't,,, ever. Other than we ran out of plays? But, still? Why'd we stop it? I KNOW!!!! Let us stop it before they do! The Lovie Smith mentality, right? Eventually, they're going to stop it, so let's stop it before they do!

What's sad, is that I can't remember a game this season, unlike last season, where I can honestly look myself in the mirror and say, "that was a great offensively called game!". PLEASE,,, help me here, this season when can you say that about a game,,,, a half??? Or, a flippin quarter for that matter? You can't! But, maybe for a drive, and one of those that you're thinking of was a Griese drive, in which he called his own plays! So, for David Haugh, to say with a straight face, that he honestly thought, leaving something that works, before it's stopped, and then go to something that hasn't worked all season, is a joke! (what's really funny are my run-ons!)

Then, I saw Moose on the NFL network today, did anybody see this? Within the first 30 seconds, he says that in order to win out, Grossman needs to play more consistently, and not overthrow receivers. Buddy, I remember last week against the Broncos, where Rex threw a perfectly thrown ball, one that would, or should have been caught in stride and taken in for six. However, you seemed to be rather content, with a thirty yard gain, so, you turned your body and tried to make the catch while falling down. Do you see Bernard Berrian ever not trying to make a catch, in stride? No sir,,, so much that he never lays out (kudos though for the catch against Denver).

What did you think about St. Clair's performance, or Adrien Petersons? Do we need to draft a running back? I'd say an entire offensive line (a new offensive coordinator, perhaps). Honestly, I hope that Rex Grossman, I know his family purchased a small bar in Chicago, but, I hope he goes somewhere else, and has a decent offensive line, a consistent snapping center (3 times fumbled exchanges to veteran Griese to negate any haters of this statement), and an offensive coordinator, who will play to a players strength, rather than weakness. We need to rest our defensive players, for the rest of the season (including Urlacher, T. Harris, Vasher, rid ourselves of Awful Archuletta and move on), let's look forward to a fresh start next season with a healthy, Tommie, Dusty, M. Brown, Interceptor, and get a new offensive line, and a new QB, in which, we will eventually all turn on.

Open to your responses, I welcome any and all criticism... Thanks, if you read this far.
