Lovie Not: Excuses don't cut it.

               After the Bears were stunned by a dramatic comeback by the Falcons with eleven seconds left, Lovie Smith is still trying to find answers.  His replies are not good enough.  The biggest blunder was Lovie calling for a squib kick with eleven seconds left.  His excuse: “the players were tired”.  That was the words he said on why he called that kick.  This gave the Falcons excellent field position.  All they needed was a miracle pass and have someone go out of bounds quickly.  That is what happened as Matt Ryan connected with Norwood.  Advice to Lovie: Do not underestimate the game of football.  This was like a slap of the face to Lovie.  Lovie thought he won.  Thought? That’s all that happened Sunday, everyone thought they were going to win.  But, the realization is, they lost.  Nothing else.  All because of one play that cost the whole game.  You play the whole game, even if there is eleven seconds left.  Time is time.  Anything can happen.  That is what just happened.  I don’t think the Falcons have realized they won yet.  After a horrible decision on a squib quick, Lovie decides to call a cover two for the defense.  Why would he make such a call when everyone in the building knows a hail mary is coming?  Lovie can not turn back the clocks.  The Bears could have been a full game in first as the other teams still trying to find their identity.  A thought.  Next time, Lovie should have thought about the game on the field, not the post-game celebration.
