Bears downed by Packers

Bears thoughts for the week...

I found two bright spots watching the game. I am trying to stay positive. Everyone who watched the preseason knew that Aromashodu was the real deal, you know - not a converted DBack masquerading as a WR (see R. Davis and D. Hester). He got a real shot and he took advantage of it. With any "luck" D. Hester will miss another game because that is the only way that the current coaching staff will make it possible for the three true WR on the Bears to be on the field at the same time (D. Aroma, J. Knox, E. Bennett). Any chance that D. Aromashodu will stay with the Bear? Second bright spot is that the Bear are finding that running off tackle is where positive yardage can come from as opposed to running in the gap between the Center and Right or Left Guard. The Bears spent waaaaaaaaaaay to much time during the first 10 game running Matt Forte between the right cheek of F. Omiyale and the left cheek of R. Garza.

Poor spots now... The tempo of the Bears offense is way too predictable. Play is called in, huddle up, get set, snap the ball. I could time this offense. They really need to run a quick snap or no huddle or something... Here's another thought, how about the Wide Receivers fight for catching the ball instead of fighting for a penalty. Buck up, guys and quick wining. It is really tough to watch Olsen and Hester constantly looking at the refs instead of looking at the ball. And Cutler is the biggest winer of all. He's tougher than that, I just don't understand him constantly wanting flags called. If I was reffing the games, I would not call penalties just for spite.

Last point... Lovie Smith's time management "skills" were on display again on Sunday. Time out followed by a challenge, nice work Coach. Brian Billick was all over him on that one. Here is a question for everyone... Does ANYONE think that Lovie will be coaching the Bears next season?
