Man, that was horrific yesterday.  It's the Packers for crying out loud and after a three and out first series, Ryan Grant goes 68 yards for a touchdown.  Did I mention it's the Packers?

If the corpse of George Halas doesn't begin to spin loudly after that game yesterday, he never will.  Your lowlights:

• Thirteen penalties, including a facemask on Chris Williams (who couldn't block my 85 year-old mother in law or either of my dogs) and two, count them, two false start penalties on center Olin Kruetz showed a total lack of discipline.  Once again, receivers ran poor routes.  The play calling was ridiculous.  The running game didn't.  How can you expect Cutler to make huge game saving plays when the other ten guys on the field with him are capable of doing their jobs?
• The whole double time out incident.  I used to have a boss whose favorite saying was "take advantage of the obvious."  It's obvious to everyone but Lovie that you have to issue the challenge immediately.  If Cutler didn't call time out because something was out of alignment, you wouldn't have even been allowed to call it.  You burnt two time outs for nothing.  You could have used those time outs on that last drive.  Lovie is now reduced to grasping at straws, and in the process, looks overwhelmed and desperate. When your coach gets that way, it's time to show him the door.  Today would be a good day for that.
• The only two bright spots were the play of the defense, which limited the high octane Packer offense to only two touchdowns and the play of wide receiver Devin Aromashodu, a player who didn't dress for six of the first eight games.  All he did was prove the Bears coaching staff can't evaluate talent.  Aromashodu is a huge upgrade over Devin Hester in that he can actually catch the ball and is actually a wide receiver.
• This team continues to sink into the abyss.  If it keeps up, they may wind up like the Lions, Browns or Rams.  By the way, the Ravens crushed the Lions 48-3 yesterday and the Bears get them next week.  If Chris Williams can't stop a rookie linebacker with girl hair how do you expect him to stop Ray Lewis? And before you think Orlando Pace is the answer, please study tape of the last Vikings game.

I hate when the Bears lose to the Packers.  It's going to be a long day here behind the Cheese Curtain.  Oh look, some chessehead has already scrawled something smart ass on the white board at work (he shouldn't have used crayon though.)

Please Santa, bring Bear fans Bill Cowher for Christmas.
