So the fans boo. Maybe put on your big boy undies and deal with it. That and going from 7-1 to 8-6…I would boo, too!

Payton might stay with the Saints
Brees will want him back But the owner might want a clean slate.
that said… Payton would be a nice up grade in Chicago. he would know how to use Cutler.. Forte and Marshall and would beat Greenbay

What really aggravates us is that aside from Marshall, most of the team appears more worried about boo birds in the stands or Lovie’s resume. Lousy play when the chips are down seems to be of no concern or at least doesn’t give Urlacher verbal diarreha.

I think the Bears players need to understand why their fans boo them:

Poor play on the field.

Sometimes it can be a bad call (by either a ref or a coach) but other than that, its poor play on the field.

Chicago fans were expecting a Super Bowl, or at least a deep run into the playoffs. Instead they got a repeat of last year and a team that probably won’t make the playoffs, or if they do will be a quick one-and-done without question.

Anyone been to a Browns game? The fans boo more at the Browns than any other team in the league.

Urlacher and Briggs…dont you guys understand that Chicago has the worst, most unclassiest fans of anyone in the NFL? Of course they boo the most.

When Bears fans boo they are channeling their inner Cutler.

Philly fans are the best in sports. What other fan base would be talked about this much in an article that is actually about another fan base? People call them names and complain but that just proves my point even more. What other team that hasn’t won squat in 50+ years has a fan base that supports and travels as well as this one? So yeah, the knuckleheads at home games give the city a bad rap, but if you’ve actually been to an Eagles game you know the fan base is so much more than that. Keep talking about Philly fans, you only prove the point that they are the most passionate.

Briggs is under contract and can still play at a high level. Lovie’s gotta
go and if Urlacher dont like it he can
go with him. The Chicago Bears need a Offensive minded coach who will place value on his O-line. this aint Urlacher’s team anymore This is Cutler’s team ASK EMERY

It’s tough to win games when the other team isn’t handing the ball over every few minutes isn’t Mr. Briggs?

i also go on the record of saying philly fans are morons.. philly fans ate up the idea of vick startings, loved and praises reid for months when they got asomugha and DRC and it didnt work so its fire ried now fire ried now (the best thing to EVER happen to philly)… philly fans wanted it, didnt work and call for there head coach..philly fans suck

im sure as bear fans they can spot weaknesses on there team that players bais to team greatness cant see or wont admit publicly.. an example, as a giants fan i can tell you hakeem nicks hasnt been the same this year due to injury, tuck hasnt been to good in almost 2 seasons minus the playoff run, osis TERRIBLE against the run and c-webb gets burned way to often.. those are pretty much facts im sure i could find the numbers somewhere if i cared that much

but when ur only down 7 u should be booing and giatns fans do the same thing but so does every team..and its annoying.. the only time u have a right to boo is when ur a jets fan and rex refuses 2 pull out sanchez, other than that just shut up booing doesnt help anything

Philadelphia has the worst and most negative media and fans there are.What makes a bad situation even worse is when the media talks and writes negatively about the coach and the team everyday and gets all of Philadelphia’s brain dead fans to follow right along with them .I honestly think the Philadelphia media would rather see their sports teams not do good so they can nitpick the coach and run him down to the fans instead of supporting their teams.This is why I think their teams haven’t won on a consistent basis and why they don’t win championships.If I was a top coach in any sport I would not want to be a head coach in Philadelphia because of their negative media.

Wait hold on…Philly fans booed Santa? Threw snowballs at him? When did that happen? You’d think people would have talked about it or brought it up in every conversation about any football fans anywhere.

We here in Philly would boo you before you set foot in training camp. And we’d chant for you, Lovie and washed up Erlacher to be fired by now. You have no idea. Chump.

Closed Circuit to Urlacher and Briggs: It’s part of the game/business! If you don’t want to hear the boos, then stop charging admission that allows you to cash those nice checks.

This isn’t High School football.

Be sure and get the media to show their support for the players. Like they did with Eric Winston in KC when he was complaining about his team sucking, I mean the fans booing. And in case Eric hadn’t noticed, us KC fans are watching a team that many in the media said would win the AFC west, even with Manning being the QB in Denver. So bash KC fans for our team being 2-12 and playing their 3rd string QB this weekend, even though their #1 QB Cassel is healthy… Ya, it’s the fans that are ignorant.

“Nobody, on any team that I’ve ever been on, gets booed more at home than here in Chicago. ”

Thanks Lance, though from what I recall having watched the Bears since the late 70′s, I don’t recall you playing on any other NFL team in your career. If you’re going to make a statement like that don’t have a sample size of N=1. (Yes, I don’t count high school and college, schools are all rah rah!)

That’s the problem with the Philly stereotype…fans embrace it than complain when other fans bring up snowballs, Santa, batteries, and jd drew….can’t have it both ways…I’m a fan and I’m passionate. That’s all I need to say.

Just for the record and in response to a post above, not only did the Philly fans boo Santa Clause, they try to take his head off with snow balls. What they didn’t realize at the time is that the Santa was also an Eagles fans so you can’t really hurt the guy if you hit him in the head.

At least fans attend Bears games. Did you see the Miami stadium last week?

————————————————–

That’s true. I’m a Titans fan, and I completely understand that we suck. But there were litetrally more Bears fans in our stadium than Titans fans. And they were MUCH louder. Really a new low for me as a fan.

‘It hurts my feelings when you boo me’
What a bunch a whiny babies. You earn the cheers of your fans along with the boos.
The worst part is they actually admit to hearing the boos.

When teams play good, they get cheered. when they play bad, they get booed. What don’t players understand about this. They whine and cry about this all of the time. They don’t have a problem if 65,000 fans are praising them when they are winning, but God forbid someone boos when they play terrible. It is an easy concept….win = cheers…..lose = boos

Best deal the Niners never made was for Briggs, a second-tier LB on a third-tier team. I’d boo too.

anyone ask him why they were booing? Maybe it’s cause cutler threw a pick the defense fell flat and gave up a td at halftime? Or because cutler ended the game with stat padding completions that gave us no chance to win? Maybe it’s cause the team is imploding out of a playoff spot again?

It’s not the losing it’s the crushingly dissapointing way the losses are coming. It’s like no one on the team even cares except Marshall.
