Bears: Brien's job is in jeopardy

09/26/05 09:21 AM

THE NEWS

Doug Brien missed his third field goal in four attempts this season—wide left this time from 39 yards in a potential momentum-changing situation. "We're concerned," special-teams coach Dave Toub told the Chicago Tribune. "He's missed three out of four. That's not very good." There was no word on whether the Bears would bring in potential replacement kickers this week, but coach Lovie Smith said: "Doug has to kick the ball better. We realize it and he does."

Isn't this the same kicker who a few years ago cost the Vikes a game against the Bills, plus a few others?

As a bears fan for 27 years, all of my life, this is typical. They may be the worst franchise in the NFC North at scouting and rating talent. Edinger had struggled the past season and a half, post leg surgery. Just wasn't working out in Chicago. Yes, Doug Brien missed two extra points agaianst the Bills.

Look at Chicago's first two rounders over the past 10 years, its amazing. Can you say Rashan Salaam, Curtis Enis, Cade McNown, Alonzo Spellman, and on and on...

Chicago fans expect and accept mediocre play. City of loser franchies, except da bulls good run.

Bears ownership blows, isn't still George's Halas's daughter?

As a kid you never heard of blockbuster deals or attempts at going after the superstar. Look at the QB situation, bears have had almost 30 different startes since the Favre era began.

LOL - I here ya! Butch Davis didn't do a dang thing right as a coach for Cleveleand lets see here's some first round beauties.... Courtney Brown, Tim Couch, Gerard Warren, William Green and Kellen Winslow Jr. What a legacy he left behind.... With Romeo and Phil Savage we have hope and optimism. Tough loss to the Colts when we should have won that game. Northcutt's punt return for a touchdown (b.s. penalty) and Antonio Bryants dropped touch down pass. We got to clean up the penalties (two taunting calls) and stop shooting ourselves in the foot. I like the way there going thus far improving every week. Should be a good game against the Bears after the bye week. Orpheus Roye will get a nice break and we should have two healthy tight ends with Shea back and Heiden. Reuben Droughns has been steady and so hasn't Dilfer. Cincinatti is the real deal but I'll reserve judgement and endorsement before they play a playoff team.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
