Generally speaking, I don't care for Peter King, his commentary, or his writing.  With that said, he does have a few points here, and cautions against a Bears meltdown versus Detroit.  Which has a very real potential to happen unless the Bears figure out how to win on the road, and the players don't quit on Lovie.

Is Chicago really a great job in the unlikely event Lovie Smith gets fired? To rebuild the Bears will take at least three primo offensive linemen, one or two wide receivers, a rush end, an impact linebacker, a safety with an anvil in his shoulder pads and one cover corner. The Bears have $11 million invested in Smith over the next two years, which makes his ouster problematic. I'm not expecting much from the Bears tonight in a game the Vikings have to win to hold off the hard-changing Eagles for the second playoff bye in the NFC -- I call it Minnesota 26, Chicago 10 -- but I'll tell you the game they'd better not lose. Chicago at Detroit, Week 17, with the third-string quarterback playing for the Lions. A loss like that would be very hazardous to Smith's Chicago future.

I think there is a real chance that Ron Turner and Pep Hamilton take the fall for this season's problems.  As much as I would like to see Turner go, I don't see this team improving much in 2010 for reasons listed by Peter King, and more: A 3-technique tackle, and defensive scheme to fit the personnel available, no 1st or 2nd round draft picks.

So what do you think?
