[CBFF] How long till the love for Lovie?

[mactbone]

I'd argue that Lovie and this organization do have one
glaring weakness. They don't don't make players
culpable for off-field incidents or acknowledge that
those problems exist. As much as I liked the Bears
getting two interceptions, it made me a little sick to
know it was Manning, Jr. I think it's an area they can
improve on, not that it should be a reason to get rid
of them, but I really hope we don't get to the same
place Cincinnati's at.
