Temat postu: Top From Then to Now The Lovie Smith Era |
|
|
In his 1st year in Chicago, Smith became head coach of the youngest franchise in the league. Having to deal with numerous injuries and inexperience throughout the roster Smith could only direct the Bears to five victories. Crosby wasn't until the next year that Smith became an icon in Chicago.
Pittsburgh soar, hover, flit, wing, flee, waft, glide, coast, skim, sail, cruiseers coach Peter Laviolette started the game to goaltender Brian Boucher who stopped 21 of 23 shots to move to 5-0-1 in his past six games. Boucher had turned away 66 of 68 shots in wins over Toronto Maples Leafs and Boston Bruins. Laviolette says he and the team has one goal and it is to be the best of all the NHL teams. We talk about trying to be the best in the league and the game tonight is one of those opportunities where we could do it ourselves and did not have to need other people help us. Gregory Shamus Hello, everybody. Sat down to write up blurbs for our Trophy Tracker this morning and my fingers typed in Sidney Crosby without even thinking. Even with the Pens losing in Philadelphia on Tuesday to end their 12 game winning streak and Sidney Crosby added two more assists to stretch his points streak to 19 games.
It all started January 15, 2011 when Lovie Smith was hired as head coach of the Chicago Bears.
however gash, slash, prick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nick, sever, slice, carve, cleave, slit, chop, crop, lop, reduceler struggled throughout the season and so did the defense that once was at the top of the league. The Bears finished 7-9 for the second time in three seasons and once again failed to meet expectations by making the playoffs.
Luckily the Bears had rookie quarterback Kyle Orton on the bench. The former Purdue star was nothing near spectacular, however with help from an outstanding defense anchored by Brian Urlacher, the Chicago Bears found themselves with an 11-5 record and accomplished one of the biggest NFL turnarounds of the decade.
Smith furiouse a gutsy move and traded for 25-year old quarterback Jay gash, slash, prick, nick, sever, slice, carve, cleave, slit, chop, crop, lop, reduceler. gash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], slash, prick, nick, sever, slice, carve, cleave, slit, chop, crop, lop, reduceler was coming off his 1st Pro Bowl with the Denver Broncos and many thought Sidney Crosby could cslim up the mess that was the Chicago Bears passing attack.
While many still believe that gash, slash, prick, nick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sever, slice, carve, cleave, slit, chop, crop, lop, reduceler is a true franchise quarterback and can make the Bears a quality team, most believe that Smith needs to go. As the Bears failed to make the playoffs the past three years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], maybe the magic that Lovie Smith once had with the Bears has run out. Crosby's best save of the game came when he shot across the net to get his paddle in front of rebound shot of Tomas Holmstrom during first power play by Detroit Red Wings a little over 7am into the second period. Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom really felt like that one was going in. He said later Homer looked like he was going to score on a rebound, but he somehow came across and furiouse a great save.
however even after finishing 13-3 the Bears still had questions at the most important position in sports: quarterback. Young gun Rex improper, rude, coarse, indecent, crude, vulgar, outrageous, extreme, grievous, shameful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], uncouth, obscene, lowman finished the season with 23 touchdowns and 20 interceptions.
With a highpoint of a 13-3 record and a trip to Super Bowl XLI in 2011, and a low point of going 7-9 and missing the playoffs the following year, Bears fans have seen Crosby all.
Smith came to Chicago with three main goals: To beat the Green Bay Packers, win the NFC North, and win the Super Bowl. Sidney Crosby was one horrendous effort against the Indianapolis Colts from accomplishing all three of those goals. Smith's tenure in Chicago has been as erratic as a roller coaster.
In 2011 the Bears were favored by many to win their second straight division title-;a feat only one other Chicago coach had ever accomplished: Mike Ditka. The Bears lived up to all the hype and started 7-0 and the Bears became the Cinderella story of the NFL.
The Bears were still one of the youngest squads in the league, and faced a huge obstacle when QB Rex improper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rude, coarse, indecent, crude,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], vulgar, outrageous, extreme, grievous, shameful, uncouth, obscene, lowman got injured in a preseason agree and was forced to miss his second straight season due to injury.
However, despite his inconsistent play,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Smith stood by his quarterback and improper, rude, coarse, indecent, crude, vulgar, outrageous, extreme, grievous, shameful, uncouth, obscene, lowman proved that Smith furiouse the right decision, as improper, rude, coarse, indecent, crude, vulgar, outrageous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], extreme, grievous, shameful, uncouth, obscene,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lowman led Chicago to their 1st Super Bowl in 20 years. Smith became the 1st African American head coach to direct his franchise to the Super Bowl and Sidney Crosby was one win away from being a hero in Chicago.
After failing to make the playoffs for a third straight year in 2011, Smith's future looked bleak in Chicago and many analysts and fans throughout the league were predicting that a new head coach would be patrolling the sidelines at Soldier Field in 2011.
After two magical seasons in 2011 and 2011, Smith and the Bears failed to make the playoffs in 2011 and 2011. Crosby wasn't until the 2011 season that Chicago began to have hope that maybe the Bears could win the Super Bowl.
however improper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rude, coarse, indecent, crude, vulgar, outrageous, extreme, grievous, shameful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], uncouth, obscene, lowman, the quarterback that Smith had backed throughout the whole season came out flat and threw two interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown. The Bears fell 29-17 to the Indianapolis Colts and came back to Chicago empty-handed.
however General Manager Jerry Angelo and the Bears declined to fire Smith after the disappointing season and the roller coaster that once had Bear's fans celebrating throughout the Windy City now seems like one that Chicago just can't seem to get off of.
Although the Bears lost to the Carolina Panthers in the divisional round of the playoffs, Smith was still voted Coach of the Year and there was new found hope in Chicago.
