What the *&$@?!

Boy, oh boy, did the Bears screw up last night’s game against the Atlanta Dirty Birds. It was terribly painful to watch them self destruct.

The domino effect of poor play, bad moods (did you see Hester’s face from the sidelines throughout the game?) and stupid penalties cost the Bears the game. I’m not even sure where to begin…

• Forte not being able to run the ball, not to mention his two back-to-back fumbles FROM THE 1 YRD LINE!
• Cutler’s interceptions (although his 30 year run was nice to see)
• The Bears’ inability to score ANY points in the red zone. Maybe the Bears think the red zone means STOP and DON’T score. On the Mix 101.9 this morning, Maynard said we should begin to call it the Green Zone, as in GO…
• Orlando Pace’s penalty in the final drive at 4th and 1. I know he’s a Pro Bowler and all, but he sure does get beaten on the outside a lot, and that penalty was COSTLY, as in GAME COSTLY!

Clearly I haven’t settled down yet. Insult to injury, the Vikes squeaked one out, or more accurately, Baltimore blew their chance to win the game with a field goal.

So, next week the Bears are in Cincinnati and face former teammates, Cedric Benson and Tank Johnson. I want (hope) to see a much improved Bears team and a pounding of Benson.
