Dallas 34 Chicago 10

Ow!

Bears looked horrible across the board here, the defense played well in the first half, but that's about the only positive thing that can be said. Other than the blocked field goal even special teams stank.

The Bears are now 1 and 2 and Green Bay 3 and 0, and worse the Bears had a slew of defensive injuries.

The question now is how to star producing on offense in the short term?

Maybe that does require radical changes in the starting line up, I'm still in two minds on the Grossman thing, I still don't see Griese or Orton being long term solutions, but if your looking to change to try and jump start the offense maybe that's what's needed. I can't see what else you can do to radically change the line up. Maybe start Petersen at running back, swap around the wide receivers, but that's all pretty much cosmetic.

I really haven't liked the Bears play calling in the first few weeks either, it seems excessively conservative at times, leading to 3rd and long on a regular basis. I'm as big a fan of the running game as the next Bears fan, but with a few exceptions we haven't been successful in running on running downs. I don't know if that's Benson, the O-Line or just opposing defenses lack of respect for the Bears passing game.

Since were heading into 2 divisional games and the Bye week is still a ways off, something needs to happen, I'm still not sure replacing Grossman is the right decision longer term but in the short term, things might look desperate enough to give it a try.
