The kid is lucky the Bears didn’t sign Orton.
Everyone was going nuts last year (myself very much included) when the coaching staff left in way-past-his-expiration-date quarterback Todd Collins to lead a second straight ineffective possession against the Packers in the NFC Championship game. But there was Caleb Hanie still in there for the second half on Sunday during the Bears’ 25-20 loss to the Raiders after a grim first 30 minutes. Before the intermission he reminded us that there is ineffective (Collins last year) and there is willfully self-destructive.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
With Patrick Mannelly moved to the IR, the Bears’ chances of a deep playoff run are finished. The team will play out the string with Bobby Nohnayme, Andy A. Nonimus or some special teams imposter heaving the ball between their legs to Adam Podlesh.
We can only hope that the Broncos cut their backup long snapper and none of the 28 teams in front of the Bears in the waiver order take action.

I’ll get to my annual Pope’s Nose Awards in a moment.
First up, our own Chicago Bears are in the hunt for QB help. After Jay Cutler got injured last week, it looked like we were set to pick up the Legend of Caleb Hanie where we left off last postseason, when he almost won the NFC Championship Game. However, as of Tuesday night, it looked like the Bears were going to add just-released Kyle Orton Josh McCown to the mix.
It wasn’t clear as of this writing who the Bears plan on starting for the next four to five weeks, but in terms of fantasy value, neither Hanie nor McCown Orton has all that much to offer.

Before we embark on a discussion of whether the fracture is in the distal or proximal phalange and whether collateral damage was done to the (ulnar) collateral ligament, attention must be paid to at least some of the details of the Bears’ fifth consecutive victory, the one that elevated them to 7-3 overall.
Jay Cutler’s broken thumb notwithstanding, this 31-20 victory over San Diego featured prominent players making memorable plays for good and for ill. Let’s start by shining a bright light on an extremely talented and particularly irritating opponent who is experiencing heaping helpings of comeuppance this fall.

“Sir Paul McCartney is a huge Chicago Bears fan so he recorded this track years ago. It recently surfaced after being found in a yard sale in London.”

Numerous professional yakkers spent this week asserting that the Bears had found success the past few weeks because Mike Martz had changed. These were the people who wouldn’t shut up about what a bad offensive coordinator he was, what a bad coach Lovie Smith was and what a bad general manager Jerry Angelo was (despite the team having made the NFL’s final four the year before) when the team started this season 2-3.
The talkers had to try to find a way to justify the fact that if you went back and listened to what they were saying during the weeks leading up to the Bears’ current four-game winning streak, you would conclude they don’t know what they’re talking about.
Perhaps in the aftermath of the Bears’ dominant, 37-13 victory over the Lions we can get a few things straight and then maybe avoid sounding like idiots the next time the Bears suffer the horrible indignity of a couple losses in a row with the current leadership team in place.
