Lovie Smith's job is hanging by the thread Bear Fans are trying to cut.

Man, a while ago I thought the idea of Lovie Smith actually losing his job was SO far out of reality's bounds that it couldn't happen this year.
But have you talked about this with other Bear Fans?
Me too.
They are MAD!
They want change.
I even heard Doug Buffone on the Score say (this isn't exact by any stretch) that he wanted the Bears to beat Detroit so they could get into the playoffs and (lose!) see what (lose!) happens (lose!) when the Bears (lose!) play a top caliber team.

I still think, even if they lose today (which I have a horrible fear of, btw), Lovie hangs onto his job until Phil Emery has a plan for something better.
This season, even though it's gone to hell, is still being played by Jerry's (Angelo) Kids.
Sure Lovie was part of all the drafting, but I will always blame the turd years (including this one) on Angelo.
And look around at the other teams.
How many coaching vacancies will there be?
Tons.

There will be a mad scramble to fill those positions, and the Bears - didn't it take about 5 years to just get a new offensive coordinator? (yeah, I know, nobody wants to offensively coordinate for Lovie)
They'll end up last in line and we'll have a situation like poor Illinois ended up in when they just had to hire a warm body.

I expect Lovie to get a new short contract so he's not a lame duck for next year, and for Emery to plan something for a head coaching change.

In the meantime, I'm going to watch this game and pray Cutler isn't killed by Ndamukong Suh.
Because... don't you think you're watching this happen: Jim Schwartz is the new Forrest Gregg and Suh the new Charles Martin.
In '86 the Packers were 4-12, and today the Lions are 4-11.
So I just hope Cutler doesn't play the McMahon role today.
