Marinelli learned from 0-16 season
As the head coach of the 2008 Lions, the NFL’s first team to go winless in a 16-game season, Bears assistant head coach/defensive line coach Rod Marinelli said he tried to find positives from the adversity.
"That's a part that you have a chance to really grow from,” Marinelli said after Thursday’s practice. “When you're hitting bumps, you become more creative. I became more determined, and you embrace the moment. Adversity is something special; it really is, if you embrace it correctly. If you run from it, it'll wear you out. But if you embrace it and find a way to get better … that's what I tried to do."
Marinelli and the Bears host the Lions Sunday at Soldier Field, but he said he wouldn’t get emotional over it.
"For me? No way,” Marinelli said. “I'm not built that way. All my energy is to our team."

first time commenting. heard you on the afternoon salon show when you said Hester kinda made Cutler (V the other way) cause of bad passes to Hester.
i respectfully disagree. from the day i was born i felt if you put your hands on a ball, any ball in any sport that has to be caught, than it should be caught. especially as a pro. A QB's job is to put the ball where it can be caught or where the receiver can put his hands on the ball, Cutler did that. true they weren't perfect but catch able. Hester did make some nice catches.
ever hear the play by play guys say "yes it was a high pass but, he puts his hands on it, catchable, he should have caught it"?
Cutler did his job, not perfect, Hester did his job, made some good catches. a bad pass is when a receiver can't get to the ball cause it's way over thrown, under thrown, etc.
i know many people will disagree with me. so why don't you ask Hester.
