Who gets the blame for Bears collapse against Saints...

[spiker]

Its Lovie's team. All he has to do is get on the headset and say, "Mike, cut the shit. This isnt 2001, I don't see Pace, Holt, and Bruce out there, our QB is almost dead, so give me three runs in a row the next series".

I understand Martz does not like to be micro managed, but at the end of the day, who's the boss? Well, Danza is undoubtably the boss (duh), but you get the point. Its Lovie's responsibility to keep Martz in check when he gets wacky.

And Jerry Angelo hired all of them so it's his fault.

And he picks the players.

Reminds me of one of my favorite football quotes:

If you want me to cook the meal, you better let me buy the groceries.

It is no secret that I am a staunch Mike Martz supporter/apologist. However, this was one of those games that got away from him, as Cutler nearly died. With that said, the buck stops with the head coach, and clearly Smith just let's Martz do whatever he wants. I was never a fan of former assistants hiring their former boss. Its an odd dynamic.

But before you toss Smith/Martz under the bus, you have to look to the front office. Nothing was done to upgrade the OL or WR. Why bring in a guy like Martz, and then do nothing in two years to upgrade what he is working with? At his other stops, the teams allowed Martz to bring in his own guys. The Bears keep asking him to run a pass heavy offense with an atrocious OL and Johnny Knox & a backup DB starting at WR.

You heard it here first folks: all it takes to make W2B criticize Mike Martz is the QB almost dying. But even then, it's not really Martz fault. :datass:

They signed Spencer after Tice already set his starting lineup for the season.

True, but I'm just not seeing the point of the signing if there was no plans on playing him and the current crop of guys we have is absolutely horrible.

Gabe is out now for at least a month, you can't continue to put Webb out there... you can't.

Who else do you put out there? Omiyale steps in for Carimi at RT like he did yesterday and who do you replace Webb at LT with?

BEROWSK.

Probably ends in the same result.

Two 6'8" guys with awkward feet getting Jay Cutler killed.
