Bears need RECIEVERS 

Post#1 » by bobsampson » Sun Sep 30, 2007 11:08 pm

Man that game was so frustrating....Berrian, Bradly , Moose? they all suck to me right now.. Does antone notice how little seperation they get? Even when a pass is caught they usually get popped right away.. I dont know im still pissed about the loss, but it seems to me WE NEED BETTER RECIEVERS! oh yea there is a lot more we need to improve on....Next Sunday-must win???? that woud be big

Every game is a must win from here on out until we get to at least a couple games over .500, especially against a divisional opponent.

I don't know whats wrong with our receivers. They were pretty good last year.

The Bears need pretty much everything on offense. Desmond Clark and Bernard Berrian are pretty good, but Benson, Greise/Grossman, and the other receivers are all dreadful.

Hard to believe this was the same Detroit secondary that was torched by Philly. I would say spread the field, go with one back and put Olsen in there as an H-back and play Haas, (who wont drop the football). What do i know.

I really don't want to start a new thread about a receiver so I'll just leave this here...


Bernard Berrian has aligator arms. Did you see Moose stretch for the ball, arms extended and legs flailing!

I'd rather take the guy with less talent and 100% effort. BB has slowly stepped into my dog house.

You have a bear in the doghouse in your avy.
You can't put a dog in there with him.

But I guess maybe a Bearian would be ok.

Can't get separation from people when the QB refuses to throw the ball downfield. Throw after throw was to the checkdown receiver.

Look on the brightside guys. At least we don't have Norv Turner as a coach.

Don't. Say. It. I know you're thinking it, but don't even say it.

First off, we need to run the ball better to be able to open up the passing game.

But then again, we need to protect the QB better for him to be able to throw the ball in the first place.

My god, it feels like a weird Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon here. We literally could go on and on about this damn team.

Cliff Levingston has had it with the offensive gameplan, Ron Turner and anyone else who has to do with coaching this offense.

1. We draft Olsen and the coaching staff talks over and over about how he'll add another dimension to the offense. Yet he can't get on the field.
2. "We're excited to get Hester involved on offense." Yet we only throw to him on screen pases or use him as a decoy, unsuccessfully.
3. Complete lack of play action.

This offense could have Peyton Manning and Randy Moss and we'd still suck cause we're beyond predictable on offense.

Ah I can imagine that. "Hmm, Peyton Manning is really good at throwing the ball deep, let's try that. Oh no, it dind't work for one play, it's time to run the ball because Peyton Manning can't throw! Well, we do have that one good reciever Randy Moss, but eh the defense probably knows he's good. Don't get him the ball. The defense will just stop him. Maybe we'll just use him in a reverse or something"

I really don't see WHY we aren't using play action plays. Everyone uses them, they are simple and useful.

I actually remember us using a play action call today, but they tried it when a guy was blitzing off the edge so it didn't work at all. Brian Griese threw it out bounds or something, if I remember correctly.

The thing with our coaching is if something doesn't work once, they probably won't try it again, which I hate.

We need some electronic equipment.

There can be no doubt Bellichik and the whole league are stealing our signals to the QB's helmet.
We need a transmission scrambler of some kind to prevent them from doing this.
Or maybe a descrambler so our QBs do get the signals. Since you could never tell from watching them so far.

No doubt, the Bears receivers have done their QBs no favors...they've been awful.

Berrian, in particular, who was supposed to be the real deal, has been very leaky.

Clearly, the Bears offense is not good enough to allow many dropped passes, yet they've had a ton of em. In general, the Bears offense is disfunctional and it has no identity. IMO, they're either a running team or they're a loser. My guess is that Lovie has also come to this conclusion and that he's had a brief conversation with Turner that goes something like this - "Ron, if we pass the ball more than we run against the Packers, we're going to have to have a very unpleasant conversation.
Until the actual truth is more important to you than what you believe, you will never recognize the truth.

Great response and play Mike Haas while you're at it, he wont drop the football.
