I laughed most of the Bears game. This team is now funny bad. How can you not smile when Jay Cutler is throwing interceptions 23, 24 and 25? How you can you not laugh when you see turnovers 4, 5, and 6 of the game, the last of which comes during a Caleb Hanie sighting?

For me the laughing started pre-game. It started when I heard the Jerry Angelo press conference and heard some the comments he made to the media. Comments like this (from chicagobears.com):

Do you feel strongly that this roster is better than the team's record shows?

"I like our roster. Your record is your record. This is who we are. So I'm not going to get into that game. We didn't play well as a team this year. We were inconsistent. We just seemed to never get the offense and defense playing well on the same Sunday. That's very hard to do and win if that's not happening. So I like the roster, we have a good nucleus of young players. So pretty much our roster will be intact next year. But I look at that as a positive, not a negative."

Wow. So Angelo likes the roster. He thinks they have a "good nucleus of young players." Who? Is there something I'm missing here? What I see is an old offensive line that is absolutely destroying the offense. I see an old defensive line that can't put any pressure on opposing quarterbacks, as evidenced by a career day from Joe Flacco whose four touchdowns and 135+ QB Rating were both career highs for the second year signal caller.

I see some young defensive backs, and most of the time I am watching them chasing opposing receivers all over the field as they give up third down conversion after third down conversion. I see a running back who has averaged under four yards per carry for two straight years, yet somehow gets a pass because of his "magical" 2008 season, which still confuses me. I'm still waiting for this guy to break a tackle, even an arm tackle, any tackle.

I see a group of young "receivers" who are clueless. Fast, but clueless. Jerry sees this differently,

You mentioned young receivers. Do you regret not getting an established NFL receiver for Jay Cutler?

"Do you think the receiver position has been our problem?"

Do you think that could have helped?

"I don't think it could have helped. I thought our receiver position played pretty well. There are other things that maybe we didn't do as well, but I felt that turned out to be a pretty good position of strength. I want to see it continue, in these next three weeks because we have a lot of young guys."

Jerry. You can't possibly believe that.

Finally, I see a young quarterback that looks more damaged as every game comes to an end, and that should be the scariest part of the 2009 season.

But sure Jerry, let's keep this intact.
