Week 2 - Bears should have beaten Panthers

So the Bears lost. It just stings because they should have won this
game. They had this game and gave it away. Don't you just want to get
a hold of the entire Bears offensive playbook and burn all of the pages
that have Wide Receiver Screens on them? There is no reason for a
professional football team to ever run a Wide Receiver Screen play,
especially when the previous two times you ran them they were almost
picked off. An intelligent offensive coordinator would take advantage
of the advancing defensive back and call a "fake" wide receiver screen
play - knowing that the DB would be in the backfield by the time the
throw is off.

What is up with Olin Kreutz - not his best game by far - on the play
where McKie was stuffed at the line of scrimmage, Kreutz was on his
behind completely taken off balance by the DT.

Chris Harris played with a chip on his shoulder - I think that we may
need to have a Chris Harris award - given to the player that the Bears
cut who does well... Chris Harris, Marc Columbo, Bobby Engram, Tony
Parrish, Ted Washington, Walt Harris, etc...

My final point... and this is a big one... Why do you deactivate Adrian
Peterson and activate Mark Bradley??? Mark Bradley had one pass thrown
his way on a poorly ran route and almost had the pass intercepted. With
Adrian Peterson out, kick and punt coverage severely suffered...

Next up, Tampa Bay at home.
